ᴏᴏ4 : ᴛᴇxᴛ

[honorbends]

Who: Zuko [honorbends]
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: Blue Fish. It's best to just not.
When: Now.

Two questions.

1. What does it take to get an entire ship to yourself?

2. How do you shut this communicator off?

PS: If one more person texts, calls, or asks me about a blender, I am going to go through each and every ship and destroy each and every blender so we're all even.

[ how's that for a royal fucking decree

and then, four seconds later: ]

Someone read this to Toph, I'm going to sleep.

[ he will respond to all of your (probably stupid) responses when he wakes up. in about ten hours. ]

[ guess what! sansa doesn't know what a blender is. is it anything like a bender? they rhyme, she supposes. and zuko is one of the people who described bending to her. ]

-- is something wrong?

[ should she be worried? did someone step on zuko's chi? ]

[honorbends]

My friends are idiots and I can't figure out how to disconnect the stupid communicator so I can sleep without them bothering me.

[ AT THIS POINT IN HIS LIFE HE WISHES HE HAD NONE TBH ]

[resnipstance]

I don't get it.

What's the big deal about a blender?

[honorbends]

One idiot friend broke a blender.

Another idiot friend told me to pay for said blender.

I said I would.

Same idiot friend told another innocent about the blender.

Innocent person went to the first idiot friend about the blender.

Idiot friend spoke to second idiot friend about the blender.

Idiot friend spoke to me about the blender.

I am this close to my first royal action being banning blenders.

[ she won't explain to him how grateful he ought to feel to have friends in the first place -- or how thrilled to have a means by which they might communicate. it isn't her place to scold him (or anyone, for that matter) and so she is very very careful to reply, in text, with only courteous things. ]

Then I should not bother you any further. I apologize. [ but... ] Mayhaps you should hide your communicator somewhere far from your quarters.

[ she nearly offers to hide it for him, but decides that would be too familiar. too personal. ]

[resnipstance]

... Huh.

Must be a slow news day.

[honorbends]

They're all morons.

Do you want a set of new friends?

I'm giving them away for free.

[ oh, zuko adores them. and he's endlessly grateful to have his friends, who are practically his family. but he's grumpy, and overtired, and allen and sasuke are both morons. ]

You aren't bothering me. It's fine.

[ sansa seems easy to startle, and it's not his attention. ]

I might put it on the bridge.

[resnipstance]

You don't mean that.

The bridge? [ seems a very public space to leave something that could be so private. that hadn't precisely been her intention. but it's his choice. ] Shouldn't it be somewhere more hidden? Somewhere secret?

[honorbends]

[ no, he doesn't, he loves them all but godddd ]

I'll loan them to you.

[ it won't be permanent ]

voice : private

[honorbends]

[ GODDD ]

... it says.

[ in the most long suffering tone ]

Two questions. One: What does it take to get an entire ship to yourself? Two: How do you shut this communicator off? PS: If one more person texts, calls, or asks me about a blender, I am going to go through each and every ship and destroy each and every blender so we're all even.

[ pause ]

Someone read this to Toph, I'm going to sleep.

[honorbends]

Probably.

But the beeping would annoy the people who started this, so I win in the end.

[resnipstance]

Do I have to sign a form? Pay you back with interest?

voice : private

[bolder]

I'm glad you can obey your own instructions, Zuko. It's a good sign for the future.

voice : private

[bolder]

And to answer your questions, I have no idea.

voice : private

[bolder]

Oh wait!

voice : private

[bolder]

Maybe you could ask nicely.

[steeledskin]

But they will read your messages.

[ won't they? if they're so aggravating in the first place, then sansa is willing to imagine them as being snoopers, too. ]

voice : private 1/2

[honorbends]

Maybe people can stop flipping out over a stupid blender and leave me alone.

[ SO THERE TOPH but he's not going to be (overly) rude to her. toph didn't do anything. ]

voice : private

[honorbends]

-- and I wouldn't just text something out to everyone without having someone read it to you.

You can't read it.

[ that's rude af you're blind don't people remember that ]

[honorbends]

I would probably have to pay you for damages.

[ HIS FRIENDS ARE THE WORST AHSOKA ]

[honorbends]

If they violate my privacy that badly, then they aren't my friends.

[ also technically none of this is private but he won't traumatize the poor girl that badly ]

[resnipstance]

I'm sturdier than I look.
