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.

[roxrkool.livejournal.com]

[...]

Then why did it take only one day for you to come back, and Yoh's still dead?

[forged_anew]

Yoh...? Oh.

[...]

I don't know.

I was told it normally takes one day.

[roxrkool.livejournal.com]

Why....?

[...]

Make sure Haru knows you're back.

[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.]

[forged_anew]

I'm sorry, Toph. I... don't know.

Haru? Well, I suppose he'll hear this too...

[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.

[roxrkool.livejournal.com]

He was... pretty upset. [A light scoff, but nothing notable.]

[forged_anew]

I... see.

[Aaand more brooding silence over making everybody so upset.]

[meat4all.livejournal.com]

Welcome back, buddy.

[kodak-princess.livejournal.com]

Big brother!

[roxrkool.livejournal.com]

[They can tag team on their awkward silences. Here's another.]

How're you feeling?

[forged_anew]

[...]

Healthy.


[That means only his body feels fine. :| ]

[forged_anew]

Sokka, I...

[...]

Hi.

[forged_anew]

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

...Elysia...

[voice]

[toiletbowl-maou.livejournal.com]

[Yuuri nods, but since you can't see that, it's just more silence.]

Well... let's just hope that doesn't happen when I get my chip out, yeah?

[voice] - awkward Zuko is sad and awkward :<

[forged_anew]

Yeah...

...wasn't pleasant.

[meat4all.livejournal.com]

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

[kodak-princess.livejournal.com]

I was really worried. Are you all better now?

Huh. Just realized Zuko's home now. So we're in the same place. Woo~ \o/

[forged_anew]

Yeah.

[forged_anew]

[Of course she was worried. Brb feeling awful. Have some awkward silence while you wait]

...yeah. I'm okay now.
