so about that flyer...

[thalassino]

[ there's a bit of a commotion tonight, and many locals are talking about something happening up on the island. anyone curious enough to check it out would first notice a glowing shore to match a starry sky; it seems to be a type of jellyfish causing this.

immediately afterward they would undoubtedly see a very large boat having apparently docked itself on the shore. there's no captain in sight and it appears to be completely inoperable, so it's a full-blown mystery on how it arrived on the shore. it certainly doesn't look like a normal boat though— probably due to the fact that it is utterly decked out for a party.

there are streamers, balloons, and a whole lot of glitter on deck. there's even a large banner that reads:

☆ HAVE FUN!!! ☆

on deck there are speakers blasting a nautical-style party music should dancing be your thing. nearby there's plenty of good food for the eating, along with a gratuitous amount of chapagne (with a non-alcoholic brand for the underage); a champagne tower can also be seen. party games are encouraged, and a few are even already set up (such as the large whale-themed piñata).

have fun, mingle, and enjoy the party! ]

[His eyes narrow a bit at the way she says honor, because if there's ever a hot button word for Zuko, it's that one.

But he lets it go to answer her question.] It is, yeah, and no, he wasn't. He thought the entire world should be under Fire Nation control. That by conquering them we'd be spreading prosperity. I'm sure you can figure out for yourself how well that went.

[knightime]

There's nothing to be concerned about. So there.

[ex_diplomacy861]

I can. In fact, he reminds me of someone I knew. [Though she has far, far better opinions of that someone than this Sozin. Mostly because she knows next to nothing about the latter.]

So someone must have told him off -- or, dare I say, usurped him.

[innocentgear]

_{[she nods, looking a bit disappointed.]}

Work is important...

<333~

[demonicbookworm]

A-ah, no! I think... I'd rather not know about it anyway.

_{[It's better like that.]}

[bufudine]

[Man, hobbies are the best. Zuko doesn't know what he's missing out on, seriously. But, in some ways, he can understand the desire to prioritise matters of "importance"; as much as he enjoys the 'hobbies' he's taken up since his arrival, Serph knows that if he needs to cut something from his protag timetable, some of his hobbies will be the first to go.

He tilts his head, though.]

What kind of important things?

[needsmoregreen]

...

T-That's a good question, I'm not too sure...

I know that I can't be here for long, I'm worried about my family and my friends back home too.

[bombtossing]

Why would that be an insult? I don't see any insulting here.

[Hehehe. Can you tell this is fun for her?]

[ravenly]

[...Zuko.

Zuko, stop--]

[ravenly]

[She never said it was a bad thing, okay.

Rue merely stares, looking a bit offended at his rude outburst at first; but then she takes a breath, trying to let that look fade away into calmness.]

If I didn't want to know, I would not have asked.

[flammatory]

Neither. [Zuko shakes his head, but eventually admits,] My grandfather succeeded him to the throne, and eventually my father. I'm technically usurping it, I guess, since my sister was supposed to inherit... but it depends on how you see it.

[clairvoyancies]

Of course.

[She certainly doesn't plan to allow herself to starve; but a delay of an hour or so, while waiting for the crowds to clear out, would not kill her.

There are way too many people on board at the moment.]

In the meantime, we should be careful.

[Jellyfish sting, don't they?]

[zelda_hylia]

Not really. I suppose I got myself a little worked up on the way here. It seems to be harmless, though. Please, don't concern yourself with me. I am fine.

[Just because Zelda's paranoid shouldn't mean that Link doesn't get to eat!]

[blessedbyfarore]

Oh... [Link glances down at his food, then shrugs a little. Well, it probably won't kill him again, right?] Okay. I guess you can get something to eat when we go back down, right?

[twiceinhabited]

[Just his best effort would be enough.

Other than a few awkward steps, Amane find herself immersing into the dance and let him lead the dance.]

[closedcircuit]

[Oh. He didn't want to make her look like that, but he doesn't really think he can do anything about it.]

I don't think this place is as safe as it could be.

If you wanted to spend some time together, we could. But I don't need to seek out other people for the sake of making friends with them.

[last_lombax]

[The Lombax chuckles.]

At least they're trying but it just falls flat. The music could be better and the food isn't all that great either.

[ex_diplomacy861]

So you are related to the ruler. I suspected as much. [Then she shrugs, though she's in no way demeaning the significance of the history.] No matter how I see it, it's a simple fact that you've taken over the throne. All that's left is for you to be an honest and reliable leader throughout your rule.

[destroytheworld]

Of course, I already started doing what I can to destroy that pathetic world... and anyone who get in my way die.

[flammatory]

[He slumps, sighing.] Was it that obvious?

You make it sound so simple, but it's not. It's maybe the least simple thing in the world. Being honest... you have to ask who you're being honest to.

[spelunky]

[Then that's where they'll go!]

There's probably some good food there, too! I could reaaally go for some banana pie right now.

[spelunky]

But you're totally not getting burned... [She squints her eyes as she examines the flames engulfing him, tapping a finger against her bottom lip in thought.] And very hot gas molecules typically burn blue so...

[Chemistry isn't exactly her strong suit, but she seems to have arrived at a conclusion.]

Oh, I get it! You just farted, didn't you?

[Who knew demons had a thing for pyroflatulence?]

[ex_diplomacy861]

It wasn't that obvious. I'd just guessed.

True. In your position, you have to be careful about every move you make and every word you say. But you seem like an honest person yourself.

[lightning_tied]

Yeah. You've gotta wonder where they even get music...

[innocentgear]

Is banana pie good?

_{[she doesn't think she's eaten one before.]}
