4 - [voice] Where the hell is the sun?

[forged_anew]

[frustrated and on-edge. Firebenders need their sun, dammit!]

Is this normal for this crazy place, or did I miss the memo that the sun was taking a day off today?

I don't like this. I don't even have my firebending and everything feels...wrong.  

Damn Discedo...

No, this isn't normal. It's always fairly cloudy here, but the only time it's been this dark, mazes started popping up everywhere and there were glowing lights. I... don't think it's the same thing, though.

[voice]

[forged_anew]

Wait, glowing lights?

So you have no idea what's going on either? [sigh] It's really disconcerting.

Oh, I don't believe we've spoken before. I'm Zuko.

[voice]

[steelbloodseal.livejournal.com]

It's... a long story.

Unfortunately, no. I've been here nearly two years, and I haven't seen anything like this before. We've had buildings collapse, but that wasn't followed by a dark sky.

Ah, I'm Alphonse! It's nice to meet you, Zuko! Your name sounds a little familiar...

[voice]

[forged_anew]

[sounds a little annoyed, but not at him, just in general] Oh, maybe you're another person I apparently met when I was here "last time". Damn, that gets confusing...

Well, in my world, the sun is eclipsed by the moon on occasion, but never for very long. I've never seen anything like this. It isn't right.

[voice]

[steelbloodseal.livejournal.com]

A-ah! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to offend! I think I've just heard your name from Mr. Iroh is all I meant!

Agreed. I've never seen an eclipse myself, but I know they're only supposed to last a few minutes, not days. Either there's something very wrong with the world--and it wouldn't be the first time--or it's someone's powers from within the city. I think if it was the latter, though, we'd have heard something about it already.

[forged_anew]

[sighs, and if rubbing one's temples made a noise, Al would be hearing it right about now]

No, I should apologize. I'm just really on edge. You didn't offend me, so don't worry about it.

It had better not be caused by anyone here, or they'll be uncausing it very soon when I get my hands on them.

[voice]

[steelbloodseal.livejournal.com]

Ah... it's alright. There's a lot to be on edge about, so I definitely don't blame you.

If it is someone here, it may be out of their control, which... isn't good, but nor is it their fault. The last time it was dark like this, a magical girl had her chip taken out. And there were those stupid glowing things to accompany it. It cleared soon enough, so maybe this will clear soon too?

[voice]

[forged_anew]

I really hope so...

[roxrkool.livejournal.com]

The sun's taking a break. Probably hiding because it found out you were here.

[afglkjasdflkj SHE FORGOT THE PACT. Baad Toph!]

[forged_anew]

Oh, and were the earthquakes earlier just the ground saying hello to the great Earthbender Toph?

[seriously] This isn't a joke, Toph.

adgkjhadsfjkh THAT FACE!!!!!!!!

[roxrkool.livejournal.com]

Yes, they were--not a joke.

Get over it--so the sun's gone, things could be worse.

I've been garnering new icons. XDD

[forged_anew]

HELLO? There were massive earthquakes killing lots of people and tearing apart buildings and now the goddamned sun is gone?!

Yeah, things "could be worse", but they're not exactly fine and dandy right now! What, you think we should all just be happy a river of acid didn't spring out of the earth too or what?!

"Things could be worse" my ass!

((OOC: No sun = really disconcerted and angry Zuko. enjoy XD ))

I've noticed (o-orz for the meanness)

[roxrkool.livejournal.com]

Well, Mr. Grumpy Gills, you're not the only one with problems around here! I'm pretty sure i know there was people injured and killed since I was out there helping a bunch of them!

Besides, if I had been the one causing them, I could have easily stopped them from ripping apart the whole place!!! so don't go acting like I have no idea what I'm talking about, Zuko! Not like your fire-bending could have fixed that, huh?

Zuko is being mean right back. XD

[forged_anew]

I was helping too, Toph!

And even if my Firebending couldn't help in the earthquakes, at least I'd be a hell of a lot more useful! You think I LIKE not being able to do anything?! I could have at least provided light or warmth, but that doesn't matter anymore because not only do I not have my bending, the goddamn SUN is GONE.

And don't you dare tell me it's not a big deal! Just because it makes no difference to you, it doesn't mean everyone else is enjoying the darkness. And for Firebenders, the sun means everything. So don't you tell me off when I only have the natural reaction to want it back!

DOG FIGHT!!! (since.... Toph isn't a girl by most standards 8|)

[roxrkool.livejournal.com]

At least you can get around without a damn stick! You don't even understand how absolutely useless I feel! Ren has to take me basically everywhere leading me around by holding onto my shoulder! I can't get around in my own apartment without the hazard of tripping on Horohoro, and Yoh basically had to lead me by the wrist to help people! You think the sun being gone sucks? I don't even know what the sun looks like!

I will agree with that. ^^;;

[forged_anew]

...

[forged_anew]

Toph...

[the fire in his voice is suddenly gone as he realizes what he just said, and there's a long pause]

...I shouldn't have said that.

I'm just really frustrated.

[sighs, suddenly feeling like a horrible person. It didn't matter that Toph refused to be his friend here, he still though of her as such and he really shouldn't have said that...]

sdfgl;k ;-;

[roxrkool.livejournal.com]

Yea well... like you would understand.

D:

[forged_anew]

You're right. I don't, and I acknowledged I shouldn't have said that.

But, everything's not perfectly fine for me either and the sudden darkness is putting me even more on edge. I'm sorry my temper got the best of me, but I can't guarantee it won't happen again.

But... I really didn't mean it, Toph.

[roxrkool.livejournal.com]

Whatever... [She barely listened what Zuko had to say]

[forged_anew]

[sighs again but lets it go. He doesn't feel like talking anymore. This place sucks.]

[sexysorcerer.livejournal.com]

I don't think there is anything normal about this...

[forged_anew]

Ugh. Didn't think so.

Where's the goddamn sun!?
