First Bamf

Who: Kurt Wagner and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the Huntress!
When: After the Shuffle! (Pre-Shuffle Marsiva action is also allowable!)

[It's been a whirlwind day for Kurt Wagner. He was emotionally raw from a traumatic event when he woke up in space. Kurt had arrived on the day of the shuffle and had been doing his best to try to keep a low profile. People aren't always the most acceptable of a fuzzy blue mutant who looks like a devil, after all. And he'd managed to pick up the basics, at least, between what encounters he had on the Marsiva, while managing to be lucky enough to avoid the network.

His luck ran out once he was shuffled onto the Huntress. The video feed catches an unsuspecting Kurt Wagner tinkering with his watch and being increasingly frustrated with it as he keeps prodding at it.]


Come onnn.... Why won't it work? Oh man!

[ooc: Of course, if any other new characters want, they can alternately run into him before the Shuffle, anywhere on the Marsiva. Choose your own adventure!]

Just knock him out, Allen.

[It's reflexive, because Zuko knows (a) Allen, and it might not be this Allen, but all Allens are the same. He's pretty sure that's just a fact of the universe.]

He can't talk if he's unconscious.

[At first he doesn't think about whose talking]

Oh, that idea is quite tempting-

[holy shit and he said his name]

You remember me?!

[And then it occurs to him]

- Wait a second!

How do you remember me?! I thought Katara said you were in Add-Stringy-dome!

[WHAT SHE MENTIONED IT ONCE...]

[ . . . oh, oops.

Zuko looks briefly awkward (Allen looks super happy???) before continuing to speak.]


-- it's Adstringendum.

[Automatically, because omg it's not that hard!!!]

And, uh -- I knew... a you, but probably not you.
honorbends: (yeah whatever sokka.)

[personal profile] honorbends 2015-09-29 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
You can still knock out Sokka, though.

[That permission extends to all Allens, even ones not from Adstringendum.]
alwayscomeback: (Away from all the fears)

TOTAL SEGWAY HERE DON'T MIND HIM

[personal profile] alwayscomeback 2015-09-30 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
HOW ABOUT WE DON'T KNOCK OUT SOKKA?!!!
honorbends: (and put it over HERE)

[personal profile] honorbends 2015-09-30 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Zuko has done a great job of not flipping out, considering he's now on a spaceship and has been world hopping for quite some time, but SOME THINGS ARE JUST TOO MUCH]

Then stop asking stupid questions about things that don't even matter!

Do you know you're blue, what kind of question is that?!
alwayscomeback: DNS (I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed)

[personal profile] alwayscomeback 2015-09-30 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
[His restraint is very admirable. ]

Well, no one else was asking it!!!
honorbends: (fuck u srsly)

[personal profile] honorbends 2015-09-30 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Because it's none of our business.

[YOU ARE LITERALLY THE DUMBEST DUMB TO DUMB jfc]
save_the_souls: (smile and laugh)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2015-09-30 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
Adstringendum, right.

[Allen meanwhile is just practically giddy at the idea that Zuko remembers him. Since hey, he's had to deal with Zuko not remembering him so many times. So at this point? It don't even matter if Zuko remembers another Allen- he still remembers him! It still counts!]

[And so there's a big grin on his face as he punches the palm of his hand almost gleefully in the background]


Haha, I could try a nerve pinch I read about! It wouldn't even risk brain damage!
alwayscomeback: DNS (Sing with my soul)

[personal profile] alwayscomeback 2015-09-30 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
honorbends: adstring mems are the best mems tbh. (shut up sasuke.)

[personal profile] honorbends 2015-09-30 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
[It takes some effort to not return Allen's enthusiasm a bit (honestly, it's nice to have a familiar face), but Zuko manages to restrain the urge to grin a little bit to deliver a perfectly deadpan:]

Can you make it so that he can't speak again?

[Sokka doesn't need to talk, really. It's totally optional. He can be useful without it.]
save_the_souls: (Crowley- chilling with the uncle)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2015-09-30 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Ah...If only. We still need him to speak sometimes, believe it or not...just not on the commm lines.

[Oh Captain my captain you can do many things, but diplomacy ain't one. But Allen is definitely smiling on his end.]

It's good to see you again, Zuko. Or- er, a you, I suppose. I was in Paradisa, like Katara. I knew y- er, a you, a few times you were there.
honorbends: +sokka (bffs man)

[personal profile] honorbends 2015-09-30 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Apparently there are a few versions of me spread around the universe.

[Poor universe, really.]

I'm sorry in advance for how I probably treated everyone -- I'm a little further down the line, now.

[Katara told him he was from a poor spot in his life in Paradisa and was generally a giant dick, but then again, Zuko was probably just a giant dick to Katara. Because. It's Katara.]
save_the_souls: (we could've been friends)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2015-09-30 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[He smiles]

It's alright. It was another you, right? And...for me really, it was more a matter that you kept forgetting who I was- but I know you couldn't help that! It was the castle....it seemed really fickle about you over the years.

[oh. Right-]

But I appreciate the apology!
honorbends: (ok sokka sure why not)

[personal profile] honorbends 2015-09-30 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty sure 'me' at that stage in my life is... universally terrible.

[Katara probably egged him on and made it worse by being... well, nice, but still. He wasn't in the best place.]

You're welcome.
save_the_souls: (idk my bff Tim?)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2015-09-30 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Ha- well you are more polite now, I think! [Which is sad considering how you started this by telling Allen to knock your friend out]

How old are you now? "That stage in my life" makes it sound like you aren't 16 anymore.
honorbends: (camping)

[personal profile] honorbends 2015-09-30 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
I don't really know how old I am anymore.

[HAHA RIGHT]

-- the war is over, in my world, and I'm the Firelord now. But I've spent three years in Adstringendum -- so I might be eighteen or nineteen, but I'm not really sure.

[Who knows, right.]
save_the_souls: (side smile)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2015-09-30 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! I'm glad the war's over for you! [He remembers that war. At least, hearing about it. It's good to know all of them seem to remember it ending]

Eighteen or Nineteen.... I'd probably just pick one of those depending on if you want to be younger or older. [That's what Allen did when he was a kid. Just picked a date for his birthday and a rough estimate of his age] I'm twenty-three.

[...Nevermind he still looks quite like a 16/17 year old...]
honorbends: (probably a stupid idea but w/e fuck it)

[personal profile] honorbends 2015-09-30 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's a fair bit older than Zuko remembers Allen, but. Whatever. Time is weird. Zuko has been in this game long enough to know that memories and time aren't always as constant as they lead them to be. And maybe Iroh has rubbed off on him and forcibly bullied Zuko into accepting that, sometimes, some things are outside of your control.

Still, Allen seems to still be the way Zuko remembers him, even if he's not the same Allen. It probably won't matter. At least he has someone who understands if Tyki or Rhode shows up and continue being acTUAL PLAGUES UPON HIS FUCKING LIFE anyway he's fine.]


... so people still don't age here.

[god can the fucking spirits fix that already]

It worked that way in Adstringendum, too... someone I knew was stuck looking like he was twelve when he was my age -- or somewhere around it.

[Poor Negi.]
save_the_souls: (Paperwork suuucks)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2015-10-01 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[NO HE HEARS YOU BRO. Thanking everything every day that Tyki and Rhode don't show up in the fleet because WHO NEEDS THAT BLIGHT]

[And oh, thank god. He doesn't have to explain]


No, they don't. It's quite an annoyance.

[He's been stuck in the middle of puberty for seven years may the spirits treat you kinder Zuko]

Ah...that's just terrible. I always feel worst for people stuck looking that age. [At least sixteen has SOME chance of passing as an adult.]
honorbends: +firebending (yeah ok.)

[personal profile] honorbends 2015-10-04 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Mhm.

[Why is the multiverse such a piece of shit, Allen. WHY.]

-- it could be worse, though.

[Some people have literally nothing to go home to. Zuko spent a long time thinking that of himself, but -- shockingly, his story ends relatively well. He thinks. Probably. God please.]
