43 - [voice] Checking up on everyone (who's left)

[forged_anew]

Hey...

[A kind of awkward pause, like he doesn't really know what to say. He's been kind of out and about, mostly training and not interacting too much lately, after all--mostly coping, though he probably wouldn't admit to it like that]

I was just wondering how everyone was doing. Anyone up for a spar, maybe? Um- Or a supply run?


[Locked to Haru |50% Unhackable|]

...Are you okay? Since... she left again and-- Yeah. I wanted to check...

So fuel for fire.

And that machinery doesn't exist in my world.

[starspangledhero]

Yeah, I guess, but I need it for a chainsaw.

...You mean you don't have airplanes? Or tractors? What about trains? Surely you've got that much technology! I had that back in the 19th century! Those ones didn't even run on diesel, they ran on steam.

[forged_anew]

We have airships and war balloons and lots of other stuff.

Different worlds, different technologies. Stop talking to me like we're inferior.

1/2

[starspangledhero]

Huh. Sounds like World War I kind of stuff, minus the planes and gas. Oh yeah, I've still got my uniform here...

2/2

[starspangledhero]

Don't worry, it's not just you! I've got hegemony and I've won the Space Race so everyone is inferior to me! Especially Russia.

[forged_anew]

Ugh, you're starting to sound like my sister. Except a lot more... energetic.

[starspangledhero]

Your sister must be awesome!

[forged_anew]

If your definition of awesome not that I'd be surprised, really is psychotic, power-hungry, and murderous, then sure.

[starspangledhero]

Uh.

No.

[forged_anew]

Then maybe you shouldn't just spout off about things you have no idea about.

[starspangledhero]

Or maybe you should start learning about me and why I am the greatest nation instead of presuming I'm... well, not.

No other nation can claim to be born--so to speak--out of the principles of freedom and equality, and if France even tries to, he definitely can't claim that he's the hero of both World Wars. None others are equal to me in technology; Russia, I'll admit, comes close, with the nuclear arms and spy satellites, but he evens it out by being a crazy communist failure, and England is getting there but that's only because I'm helping him. And, I'll admit, I'm going through a kinda rough patch, but I'll pull through. My people always make sure I do.

So, yeah. Unless your country is your world's equivalent to me, yours is inferior. Not in the 19th-century definition of inferior, you're just not as awesome as me.

[forged_anew]

The only thing that told me is that you're a pretentious jerk with a superiority complex, which isn't really news.

I don't care how 'awesome' you think you are. It gives you no right to insult me or my country when you don't even know anything about my world.

1/2

[starspangledhero]

C'mon, aren't ya listening? Freedom! Equality! Heroism! What isn't there to be proud of?

You're a pretty grumpy friend, you know that? Like England, minus the massive eyebrows, and you don't even get to say that you had a part in making me.

2/2

[starspangledhero]

I SHOULD TEACH YA ABOUT PLANES.

[forged_anew]

That's because I'm not your friend. And isn't England the one who made the poisonous cookies a while back?

About wha--? Wait, no, I don't care.

[starspangledhero]

[IGNORING THE "I'M NOT YOUR FRIEND" COMMENT.] His food sucks, but I haven't died from it yet, and I ate that crap back when people were treated with bleeding.

Yes you do, because planes are awesome! You haven't lived 'til you've flown in one. Way different than balloons and blimps; these give you speed, maneuverability, and when you've got one under your control, it's just like flying.

[forged_anew]

Did you miss the part where I said we have airships? Those fly. So do sky-bison, and I've ridden one of those plenty of times.

[starspangledhero]

What.

What is a sky bison.

I love bison.

I was raised in the woods with bison you don't even know.

WHAT IS A SKY BISON?

[ohgod you broke him]

LMAO ilu <3

[forged_anew]

Uh.

[...]

It's an animal that lived around the Air Temples... Big as a house, has six legs and an arrow on his forehead, really hard to miss. Oh, and obviously they fly.

Aang's is named Appa. I think he's the only one left...

1/2 ILU2 <333 this made his DAY

[starspangledhero]

It's a giant bison.

That flies.

2/2

[starspangledhero]

I WANT ONNEEEEEEEEEE.

Aww America X3 /pets him

[forged_anew]

[Ow, my ears. B| ]

I just told you there aren't any more. And none in Discedo.

America would fight the entire fire nation just to save the bisons :|

[starspangledhero]

What happened to the bison? Even the regular ones didn't die out and damn did they come close. Now they're as populous as ever why can't the sky bisons do the same?!

lolol Too bad he wasn't there to save the Air Nomads with his HEROISM

[forged_anew]

Uh...

They were sort of...

[this is where Zuko doesn't tell you that his people blew them all up to smithereens >.> ]






They died, okay?

OF COURSE. IT'S JUST LIKE PUNCHING GERMANY. ...ONLY MORE FIRE IS INVOLVED.

[starspangledhero]

B-but...

the bison...

[GOD HE'S SOUNDS SO DEPRESSED.]

Well. You said there's one left, right?!
