on quite possibly going to zodion

[unstable]

What--

[ Azula clicks her tongue against her teeth, narrowing her eyes. ]

I have little interest in being a part of a monstrosity such as that terrible world and being branded with a hideous tattoo. My body is a temple, yatta yatta. They're going to take my bending away and that is unacceptable, so if you must find another home for me take your desires elsewhere.

Hey, there're worse things that could happen to you than a tattoo, y'know... And being a normal nonbender isn't that bad, either.

[unstable]

I do believe being robbed of my bending is what is worse than a tattoo. I'd rather have my entire body covered in the things and still be able to bend, thank you. You were born without the ability to bend, thus you have no idea how attached you become to the skill-- for me being a normal nonbender is terrible.

[angle_on_it]

How would you know? You've never even tried it.

[anbu]

[Body is a temple, huh.]

It would not be new.

[sinews]

They don't take away your bending completely. Plus, you can get it back.

[unstable]

Are you going to give me lessons in the awesome of boomerang now, Sokka?

[unstable]

[ Shush, you. ]

No, it wouldn't, but it doesn't mean I want to go back to a place like this.

[angle_on_it]

Would you want to learn that?

[unstable]

I'd be able to light candles, that really sounds like fun! Princess of the Fire Nation reduced to doing nothing but setting aflame wicks, oh how I have fallen.

[unstable]

No.

[sinews]

I said you can get it back, if you're determined enough.

[unstable]

Oh, I am determined, but I'm sure it's incredibly difficult and morally compromising to get my bending back.

[sinews]

If sleeping with people really puts you off, sure. Frankly, it's not like you have to lose a limb or anything that extreme.

[anbu]

[THE THINGS YOU'VE DONE WITH THAT TEMPLE, AZULA.]

Of course.

[Because he doesn't, either.]

[unstable]

[ WHAT DID I SAY? SHUSH. ]

I would include being with you again as a benefit but considering we'll have to start completely fresh with no memories of each other makes you being there just another con.

[unstable]

If I had to lose a few toes and maybe determine which of my extremities they'd lop off to retrieve my bending, I may be a little warmer to the idea of this place. But yes, sleeping with people really puts me off.

[anbu]

It is better than the alternative.

[Neither of them seeing each other at all, he means.]

[sinews]

Well, I'll see you on the other side when I'm juggling flamethrowers and you're lighting candles, Princess.

[unstable]

It might be. We could go to this wretched place and end up loathing each other.

[unstable]

But at least one of us won't have lost all our dignity when that does indeed happen.

[anbu]

Is that likely?

[unstable]

I don't think it is, but you never know.

[sinews]

Dignity? I haven't lost any of mine, all I'm doing is getting the resources I need to take on the Twelve. Living as the weakest of the firebenders? Not exactly my style.

Besides, all those people that get stronger along with me? Their gratitude is going to have my back.

[unstable]

You have clearly been in this place for far too long if you find such behavior acceptable.

[angle_on_it]

[This face.]

Well, it's good to know that even if you lose your firrbending, you're still a pro at jerkbending.
