[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.]

Date: 2009-08-22 02:52 am (UTC)[He finally looks up, eyes burning with anger, sadness, confusion... He's not happy at all, Sokka.
Angry emoboy explosion in 3... 2... 1...]
How can I be happy that I hurt everyone I wanted to protect? How can I simply forget I just died a miserable death and by all laws of nature should have stayed that way but was only brought back because some scientists wanted to play with me some more?
And they took away my Firebending again! Everything I wanted to do, the people I wanted to keep safe, I screwed it all up! Not only am I still absolutely useless, I also upset everyone I care about.
So, no, Sokka. I'm not happy. I'm back, and it's great I'm not a pile of bones in the ground, but I'm not happy.
no subject
Date: 2009-08-22 03:22 am (UTC)Yea, everyone was worried, but it's because they care. I'm sure they're all just happy to have you back Zuko. And, I'd much rather you be alive than a pile of bones, but that could just be me.
I'm sure you can get your chip removed again. After these infections calm down anyway. It's not like it's stuck being gone.
no subject
Date: 2009-08-22 03:38 am (UTC)But now he's... kind of afraid to get his chip out again. Especially since Muraki...
He sighs heavily, burying his face in his hands, voice muffled by his palms.]
I know it's because they care, Sokka. It's still... hard.
And I am thankful to be alive. But...

Date: 2009-08-22 03:46 am (UTC)Yea, he's got nothing]
I know...
Hey, why don't we go do something fun?
no subject
Date: 2009-08-22 03:53 am (UTC)Sure. Like what?

Date: 2009-08-23 04:05 am (UTC)Anyone, and everyone.
no subject
Date: 2009-08-23 04:08 am (UTC)I hardly thing it's the best idea to antagonize our neighbors.
...maybe we could do something else instead?
[Because he still likes the idea of distracting himself with something fun but doesn't feel like being all that social. And lobbing snowballs at everyone counts as social.]
no subject
Date: 2009-08-23 04:22 am (UTC)Time for Plan B!]
Well, what do you like doing that's fun?
no subject
Date: 2009-08-23 05:22 am (UTC)Uh...
Training?
no subject
Date: 2009-08-23 05:41 am (UTC)[Zuko needed to cheer up, and Sokka was quickly running out of ideas.
Until he remembered his meat.
Meat made everyone happy.]
I know! I got some meat in exchange for those horrible cookies! I bet that'll cheer you up! It might need to be cooked though
no subject
Date: 2009-08-23 05:58 am (UTC)Seriously?
Actually... that sounds great.
no subject
Date: 2009-08-23 06:08 am (UTC)Yep, now all we have to do is figure out how to cook it. Those stoves seem like they would work well.
no subject
Date: 2009-08-23 06:16 am (UTC)Yes, we have a stove.
I wish I had my Firebending...It should work just fine.no subject
Date: 2009-08-23 06:29 am (UTC)Yea! Lets go figure out how to work it!
[And he's off! To the kitchen we go.]
