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

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...

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.

From:

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.

From:

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.

From:

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]

From:

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...

From:

starspangledhero

It's a giant bison.

That flies.

From:

starspangledhero

I WANT ONNEEEEEEEEEE.

From:

forged_anew

[Ow, my ears. B| ]

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

From:

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?!

From:

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?

From:

starspangledhero

B-but...

the bison...

[GOD HE'S SOUNDS SO DEPRESSED.]

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

From:

forged_anew

[Aaaand Zuko's actually feeling kinda bad now. Not like it was HIS fault but still. Kinda.]

Yeah, there's one. Back in my world. He belongs to my friend.

From:

starspangledhero

CAN I RIDE HIM?

From:

forged_anew

...did you completely miss the part where I just said he's back in my world?

From:

starspangledhero

THAT DOESN'T CHANGE MY QUESTION.

From:

forged_anew

[SIGH. You make no sense.]

He's not mine.

...but probably.

From:

starspangledhero

HOORAY!

IT COMBINES MY TWO FAVORITE THINGS: FLYING AND BISON!

If only there were flying bunnies. I'd be solid.

From:

forged_anew

...okay. Um. Good luck with that.

From:

starspangledhero

By the way, your country just ranked up higher on the scale for having flying bison! Now it's like you're a member of NATO!

Hey, does your country wanna join NATO?!

From:

forged_anew

Oh. My country doesn't--

[ ...ohwait, why am I bothering to explain this to you? SIGH. ]

What's NATO?

From:

starspangledhero

North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's a coalition of western powers that is more or less designed to keep Germany down, me in, and Russia out. A big part of it is that an attack on any one of us would be considered an attack on us all. This is keeping in mind that the biggest threat of invasion comes from Russia, also known as the Soviet Union. If you think you're safe, guess again. This guy never stops with his "everyone will be one with me" schpeil and really likes to talk about using me for a nuclear test site.

Technically, it's only for countries in the North Atlantic region of Earth, hence the name, but France is a freaking asshole and left three years ago. So, we've got a seat open and you have FLYING BISON.

[wait a sec is America speaking coherently WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE.]

From:

starspangledhero

[clearly it can't last long]

IT'S ALSO CALLED JUSTICE FIGHTERS AGAINST COMMUNISM.

JOIN THE HEROES.

And not the Whiny Warsaw Pact of Evil And Landwhales.

From:

forged_anew

[if Zuko knew anything about Earth history, perhaps he'd appreciate that as much as his ~~dying on the floor laughing~~ mun does. Instead, he's just silent for a moment, trying to make sense of all this nonsense]

...how would that even work if you're not in your world? And what are Russia and Germany?

[wait, is he even considering this what. I think you broke his brain]

From:

starspangledhero

Like half of NATO is already here! Denmark, Canada, England, Norway, Italy, uhhhh Iceland was here but he's gone, and Germany's kinda wonky right now because he's stupid and thinks he's back in the 1940s, but that's just another thing I'll have to fix!

OH YEAH WE'RE HOLDING A WORLD MEETING, I'LL TALK TO THE OTHERS ABOUT IT THERE! Until your country arrives... I dunno! Usually our bosses just talk to each other and we talk amongst ourselves. Never had the problem of not having a country but a boss around... BUT I'LL FIGURE IT OUT!

[Of course he will :| Any plan will probably involve space ships and cowboys.]

Russia is that guy with the scarf and huge nose and metal pipe that's all "kolkolkol" and I guess he tries to summon demons or something, I dunno. But anyway he's the worst kind of commie possible and he's a mental freak and yeah if you don't join me he'll try to get you to join via beatings.

Germany's my friend who doesn't remember he's my friend because he can't remember that I beat him in WWII so I have to remind him!
