Fire Lord Zuko

[The camera flickers on with a violent crash and the dreamberry falls to the ground to the sounds of static and yelling and other violent thuds, perhaps of something being thrown--]

It's not fair!

[Fire, just a flicker of it on the edge of the screen that is now showing mostly the (rebuilt) apartment ceiling. Nothing burning, at least, just a demonstration of extreme frustration-- and that's putting it lightly.]

You can't do this! You hear me?! Whoever the hell's in charge of this stupid place- [Zuko curses, then suddenly gives up and slides down to sit against the wall beside the device he's clearly forgotten about, knees up, face in his palms, talking to himself.]

I waited... I waited for months, and all I got was a few damn weeks and half the time she didn't even believe most of the things I said. It was all so...

Pointless.

Would've been better not to bring her here at all...

Uncle, Mai, Toph... Sokka too now, huh?

[sigh]

It's pretty selfish to want them back though, I guess. I hope Katara's okay...






[silence for a while, and then a crash--very likely the communicator being thrown against the wall from the sound of it. Then Zuko's voice again, farther away but much, much angrier.]


I need to go home too, you stupid scientists! Let me go home already!
