driftfleet | ᴏᴏ1 : ᴠɪᴅᴇᴏ

Who: Zuko!
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: S.S. Golden.
When: Post-Shuffle!

[Zuko has done a pretty fabulous job of not flipping out, to be honest. He's interacted with some people aboard the Marsiva and has narrowed down the possibilities to two. 1) The Animus have launched an event that's completely eradicated the old universe and dropped them into a spaceship reality show (which, honestly, is a possibility) or 2) Zuko has been pulled from Adstringendum and is now in a new splintered universe.

After working that out, Zuko is now on a different ship, and while the teenager on camera looks fairly calm and collected, those who know Zuko know he's about two seconds from turning the desk he's sitting on into a pile of charcoal and using it as anger management therapy.

Someone didn't appreciate being doused in confetti and having a celebratory chocolate thrust upon him.

Give him a moment or two before he heaves a massive sigh.]

Two things.

[Zuko totally did not rehearse what he was going to say before he elected to talk to the entire fleet.]

One -- I guess I'm stuck here until I figure out...how to get back to wherever I came from. This is all probably going away in a week anyway... So -- has anyone figured out how to get off the ships?Are we trapped on whatever...these things are until whoever is running the show decides to send us home?

And two, is the Avatar here?

[Sorry, other members of Team Avatar, you guys are apparently on the third item that Zuko didn't find important to add. He's pretty sure the rest of his friends will find him, but this is Super

Important

okay.

Also he's not introducing himself, sorry. He forgot.]

Hey... Sorry, I don't know much about going home. But I think your eye makeup is really cool! [Thumbs up!] Good job!

And no, I don't think we have avatars here, but it would be cool if we did. I can draw up what mine would look like!

[WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE TODAY]

[BETWEEN SOKKA AND THIS KID HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO NOT ASK SOMEONE ABOUT XYZ IS APPEARANCE REALLY THAT IMPORTANT]

[WHY WOULD YOU EVEN PUT THIS ON YOUR FACE WILLINGLY JESUS CHRIST HOW DO PEOPLE EVEN SURVIVE IN THIS WORLD BEING SO STUPID]

[After an internal outburst and a slight inhale and exhale that releases the tiniest amount of smoke, Zuko has decided that screaming at a small child is probably not the best way to start his time on the Fleet and honestly maybe it's an honest mistake??]

... the Avatar is a person. He's destined to save our world and put it back into balance -- his name is Aang.

[CAREFULLY. CONTROLLED. TONE. -- though Zuko's tone slips into a slightly irritated, tired tone, like he's said this about sixteen zillion times.]

And it's not -- fake.

Aang, huh? Hey, you have a pretty cool-sounding avatar! I think my avatar's not going to be a person - I want to make it one of the Crying Breakfast Friends! I just can't pick between Sad Waffle and Crying Pear.

[Steven just goes on innocently and eagerly.]

What's not fake... Your makeup?

It's not -- !

[CALM ZUKO FIND YOUR CENTER HAPPY PLACE]

It's a scar, it's not fake. And Aang isn't my alter-ego, he's --

[Omg Zuko can't Small Children today.]

It doesn't matter, he's not here.

Oh. Oh! ...I'm sorry about your scar.

And I hope you find your friend soon. Are you sure he's not here?

He would have found me by now.

[Aang has a super annoying habit of just ~*~knowing~*~ shit and Zuko is pretty sure Aang would have tracked him down before he even made the damn message, let alone waited this long to respond.

He then pauses before sighing.]

And you don't have to apologize.

[Kids say stupid things. It's hard to be mad at one that's not even from his world. Everyone across the four nations knows who Zuko is and how he got his scar. This kid is just... well. Naive, apparently.]

...Oh. Well, I still hope you get to see him soon! [He really misses a lot of his friends, too, so he knows that feel.]

I still feel bad. I really thought it looked like cool makeup! But it was really a sensitive issue.... Um, let's start over again!

My name's Steven Universe, and I wanna be your friend!

[ oh god ]

... Zuko.

[ zuko is not going to say he wants to be ur friend sorry kid ]

It's just Zuko.

[It's okay Steven will just take that as an unspoken agreement.]

That's a cool name! It's nice to meet you, Zuko!

[ s i g h ]

... sure.

When did you get here?

Ummm... Almost a month ago!

[ oh good ]

Is anyone else from your universe here?

[He giggles first, because he assumes that Zuko said "universe" as a pun.]

Yep! It's just Pearl. But she's great and really nice!

[ oh good ]

Is she like you?

[ loud and obnoxious and kind of annoying ]

Pearl's pretty different from me? She's really nice and she tries her best. But she's a lot more polite and graceful, and she knows less about humans but she does her best to make sure that people get what they need! She's really great about knowing that about people even when they don't. She'll take real good care of you!

[Basically Katara's mom side as its own person and on overdrive.]
