17 - [voice] Return to the land of the living

[forged_anew]

[Zuko turns his communicator on, but there is only silence for a long time. He doesn't really know what to say. After a while, he speaks, voice quiet and flat.]


I'm... back.


[.......]



I apologize for having worried you.


[And that's it. The communicator shuts off with a soft click.]

[Feel free to notice her frequency there. She's too confused to say anything.]

Aww, say something, Toph~ (like 'why the hell are you back and Yoh isn't?') lol

[forged_anew]

[And he's being too emo to say anything right now. He's really depressed over making everybody upset.]

Lol

[roxrkool.livejournal.com]

One day...

[forged_anew]

[More silence for a long time, then a quiet response.]

Yeah...

I guess... that's the only good thing about this place.

[There's an awkward silence, and a little bit of Yuuri fumbling with words, trying to figure out the best thing to say. Eventually he inhales deeply.]

[voice] 2/2

[toiletbowl-maou.livejournal.com]

[After he exhales, he finally speaks.]

I'm... glad you're back.

[voice]

[forged_anew]

Yuuri...

[Guilty silence, but it seems more should be said here, so finally he manages a quiet response]

...guess this is the only good thing about this place.

[meat4all.livejournal.com]

Welcome back, buddy.

[forged_anew]

Sokka, I...

[...]

Hi.

[meat4all.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about it. I'm just glad you're back.

[kodak-princess.livejournal.com]

Big brother!

[forged_anew]

[Oh, God, he doesn't even know what to say, trying to imagine how Elysia would have taken his death.]

...Elysia...

[kodak-princess.livejournal.com]

I was really worried. Are you all better now?

[beatsupboys.livejournal.com]

You should go see Mai; she's been really upset.

[forged_anew]

I know...

[Guilty silence for a few seconds. He's really really really unhappy about having upset Mai so much]


I'm home now, actually.

She's here.

[beatsupboys.livejournal.com]

Okay, good.

[Paaaaause; kind of wants to change the subject to something happier adsfjk]

... It's weird to think of this place as home, huh?

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

Zuko...!

[Minato pauses for a moment, unsure of what to say.]

How are you holding up?

[forged_anew]

...I'm healthy again.

[locked]

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

Healthy is good, but I was asking about emotionally.

I wish I could have done more for you....

[confide-in-me13.livejournal.com]

Welcome back!

Eh, but where did you go?

s-sorry, Tohru. He's a jerk by nature. It's genetic. :<

[forged_anew]

[Oh, hello there new person. Zuko doesn't really feel like talking.]

Doesn't matter.

/pat

[confide-in-me13.livejournal.com]

Ah! Well then! Welcome back anyways!

You know...you sound kinda down..

Hello pep-talk from random stranger :|

[dontcallmegol.livejournal.com]

Hey kid, glad to see you're back.

I know it's probably not something you want to wake up to, being here an' all but, let me tell you I'm pretty damn impressed.

I know you don't know me, but I've been watching these things since I got here...not much else for me to do really since I'm recovering too. You've been through hell and came back. That's something. I'm sure your Nakama are glad to see you're alive.

Don't sweat it. You're one hell of a fighter.

LOL Zuko's like wuuuuut?

[forged_anew]

[Have some rather confused and thoughtful silence for a while]

...what are Nakama?


[Yep. That's all he has to say, because the other alternative was 'Are you stalking me?' :| ]

a;lskdjfksj Not a stalker D:

[dontcallmegol.livejournal.com]

[Hey those posts of him getting progressively worse and then DYING weren't hard to miss man!]

Nakama... It means friends, allies, comrades. Though for some it can have a deeper meaning and can be used to describe those that are important to you. Like family or very close friends who may as well be family.

I should probably introduce myself. My name is Ace. Portgas D. Ace.

I've been stuck in the hospital since I got here. So I've been passing time by reading or listening to the people here.
