i saw a fire burning on the palace lawn

[blood_royal]

Who: the terrible family and possibly onlookers if they want to pop in
What: zuko is just a little bit behind on the "free mayhem" card and sort of burned the house down
When: monday morning, feb 06
Where: 1667 Nelson
Warning: honestly probably none


Well, Zuko's never been particularly timely, has he? Takes three years to find one kid, takes two days to burn a house down. Hey, he started from the inside, and now he's sulking outside on the sidewalk as he realizes that now he's got to find someplace else to stay. He really needs to start thinking things through. It was supposed to be a dig at the Major's claimed "authority" over the place, but now Zuko is just sort of homeless.

The house is impressively flammable, though. It's hot all the way out to the road.

[Hey guess who else is sitting out on the sidewalk.

Glaring into space.



And then she gives him a whack on his big fat bald head.]

You fucking idiot.

[blood_royal]

[Zuko returns the smack, though Annie has a mane so the effect is diminished.]

Shut up! It seemed like a good idea at the time!

[sturmbahnfuhrer]

The Major just stands, looking at the house for a moment. He tilts his head a bit, from one side to the other, before smiling and looking at Zuko.

"Impressive." The humor that so usually defined him is there, no longer like the sullen, easily frightened man he'd been earlier. "How long did it take you?"

[werejew]

[her hair is a natural shock absorber]

Yeah, at what point did "Yeah, I should burn my own fucking house down!" seem like a really good fucking idea?

Do you know how many pictures of naked women have been lost tonight? Do you even fucking know?

[blood_royal]

"Hardly any time at all! And you're not supposed to like it!" Zuko smacks his hand at the air in front of him, shooting a halfhearted fireball at the burning wreck of a house.

[blood_royal]

That's what you're worried about?!

[NOPE.JPG ON THE OTHER QUESTION]

[werejew]

WHY ARE YOU MAKING IT BURN MORE?!

[werejew]

Priceless treasures have been lost tonight, you little shit! Goddamn, this isn't the fucking Kingdom of Fireballs, you can't just do whatever the fuck you want!

[sturmbahnfuhrer]

The Major just laughs a bit at it, eyes drawn to the fireball as it flies through the night.

"Am I not? How unfortunate. I like it anyway."

[sturmbahnfuhrer]

"Priceless treasures?"

You'll have to excuse him Annie. He's just laughing a bit at that, eyes darting to the wreck of the house before going back to Annie.

"Tell me. What do you even own?"

[werejew]

You're a fucking robot. You couldn't appreciate how hard it is to find good jerk-off material in the fucking 50s. Don't even fucking start.

[blood_royal]

Because it doesn't matter any more! Even if I made it go down it's still a wreck!

[blood_royal]

Zuko makes a frustrated noise and exhales a cloud of steam.

"Why?! I torched your precious domain!"

[sturmbahnfuhrer]

He sits down on the curb, still smiling at Annie as he takes his seat.

"Really? I would assume you could just watch any woman passing the street and get off on it. I have a hard time believing it's that hard for you."

[sturmbahnfuhrer]

Another bit of laughter, shaking his head.

"My precious domain? Where would you even get-"

Ah. Now he remembers. And shrugs.

"I wasn't myself, boy. I don't give a damn what you do or don't burn down."

[werejew]

[HUGE SIGH] Whatever, whatever, I've slept in the woods before. I don't give a fuck.

[werejew]

... You can't just do it on the street.

You'll get arrested. [EDGING... AWAY...]

[blood_royal]

Well if you don't care then why are you bothering me?!

[blood_royal]

"If you weren't yourself then who were you?"

This is a perfectly logical question, yes.

[werejew]

Oh, I'm sorry I'm bothering you my fucking house just burned down.

[sturmbahnfuhrer]

"I'm surprised.

I would have thought there'd be nothing you wouldn't degrade yourself to doing."

[sturmbahnfuhrer]

"It's a saying, boy. The town had done something to me. The way I was talking isn't how I usually think or talk."

[blood_royal]

It was to make a point!

[werejew]

No judgment here, but I'm not into that kinky shit. [nasira is but that is neither here nor there] I've got, like, standards and shit.

[werejew]

And what was the fucking point?

That you can shoot fireballs from your cock?

If so point fucking made.
