7 - [video] Back in the hospital

[forged_anew]

[The camera turns on and Zuko's face comes into view, scowling at it. He moves his arm out a bit so his chest and shoulders are visible too, wrapped up almost entirely in bandages]

Stopping by my apartment to grab some clothes didn't go quite as well as planned, but I'm back now. And apparently on bed rest again.

[He glowers at the camera some more, then shrugs a bit with his uninjured shoulder and lets out a small, resigned sigh]

Anyway, thanks for your help, Haru...despite the unnecessary...argh..
By the way, you seriously need to work on your direction-sense.

Alright, then. Jackie's fine with me. And, uh, obviously you can call me Zuko.

So how'd you fare in the earthquakes?

[Voice]

[loyal-inferno.livejournal.com]

Yeah...I got that.[chuckles]

I did alright. Um, my friend's dad was on the fifth floor of Latimir, but he's doing alright.

Also my friends and I moved out of Latimir for the time being, but it seems like our room is alright for the most part so I'm hoping to be moving back in soon.

[Voice]

[forged_anew]

That's good to hear. I'm glad the earthquakes and ash seem to be clearing up.

I heard about Latimir, but no one I know lived on the floor that was damaged. Do you know if the residents are doing better?

[Voice]

[loyal-inferno.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too.

I...[coughs]

As far as I know, everyone is doing alright...but I don't really know too much. I think a lot of the people on floor five have found other living arrangements.

And everyone who..uh...well everyone is back.

[ooc: The hesitation and cough were because, if the log had been complete, Jackie probably would have stumbled upon some bodies when she and her roommates rescued Jun, including that of his very young Roommate who was killed.]

[forged_anew]

I see.

My uncle's arm was broken in the quakes, but nothing serious, thankfully. No one else I know got hurt.

[there's a bit of a pause, as if he's wondering what to say. He's not really good at smalltalk]

So...uh...other than that, how've you been?

[Voice]

[loyal-inferno.livejournal.com]

Well, beyond all of that, I've been doing okay. Actually...I've been a little bored.

And still trying to find a way to get this stupid chip out.

[Voice]

[forged_anew]

Ugh, me too. I feel so useless without my Firebending. I couldn't even do anything to help Mai when...

Anyway, I'm getting it out soon.

[Voice]

[loyal-inferno.livejournal.com]

What? You mean, you found someone who can take it out?

[Voice]

[forged_anew]

Yes. A doctor who's been caring for me while I've been injured. His name is Muraki.

Hmm... my uncle also mentioned a woman named Kureha and said she was trustworthy.

[Voice]

[loyal-inferno.livejournal.com]

Would you by any chance be able to tell me how to get a hold of either of them?

I...can't take being on the sidelines while other people get hurt any longer...

[Voice]

[forged_anew]

I know how you feel.

Try sending them a message with your communicator. I know Muraki's frequency so you can send him a private text or something.

[he proceeds to her how to get a hold of Muraki]

[Voice]

[loyal-inferno.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much. It means a lot Zuko.

[Voice]

[forged_anew]

It's not a problem. Like I said, I understand how you feel.

Good luck!

[Voice]

[loyal-inferno.livejournal.com]

You too.
