[Video]

[daughterofursa]

I hope that's right.

[Viewers may recognize the view from balcony on the Tower of Winds as the backdrop. As Zuko draws back from setting up the camera, she doesn't completely position herself inside the frame, but for someone who's never really done this... at least you can see most of her head.]

I know everyone's looking forward to the festival. I think we've earned it. But I also think we need to keep taking advantage of the Queen's inaction.

Some of us are more prepared for a fight than others. While I don't think anyone should be forced to fight if it isn't in their nature, for those who choose to, I can teach sword techniques and hand-to-hand combat. You can find me out on the bridge every morning.

I think it would be a good idea for others to share what they know, too. We could use more healers--

[If she was going to conclude with anything else, she's interrupted by a tiny growl. The video shakes violently, coming to a stop pointed skyward. A blurry dragon face noses the camera and then the whole view is blocked out as Kizuna sits atop her defeated foe.]

Kizuna. Did you switch it off?

[Some scuffling and indistinct images follow before the feed actually does shut off.]

Comments

[miseris_socios]

[Well, there's someone who's not even bothering to respond on the network. Who knows who's listening in? So he's got his spear and he's got his bag and he heads up to the Tower of Winds. It doesn't take him long to get to where Zuko is - he recognizes that balcony.]

You wanted to train?

[daughterofursa]

[Zuko turns in surprise. Well, apparently her message was successful, or at least the part where she offered to teach people. Did he miss the part where she said mornings and not here?]

Uh- Did the message get cut off?

[miseris_socios]

Nope. But you didn't look like you were doing anything else at the minute.

[And he doesn't have much to do either before he crashes in bed.]

[daughterofursa]

I guess I wasn't.

[She puts her phone away and nods to his spear.]

Do you know how to use that?

[miseris_socios]

[Ken just gives her the most 'are you an idiot?' look that he can muster.]

Yeah. I've been using a spear for... something like five years? Only about three with actual spears that weren't improvised ones, but yeah. I know how to use it.

[daughterofursa]

[Sorry, Ken, but Azula will always be better at that look than you.]

You seem pretty young for that. Were you at war?

[miseris_socios]

I'm not that young. I'm fourteen. I look eleven, but I'm not. And there were things called 'Shadows' in my world that I used to have to fight during the hour a night they would show up. Then I learned how to fight them better with a Persona, which is a special power only certain people can use. And then I was in a place a little like this for like... two and a half years.

I'm happy to offer advice on Marksmanship, but I don't know if we've actually got many firearms besides my own... And mine will only fire for me.

But I could probably use a few more lessons with a sword besides "hit the guy with the sharp end."

[Voice]

[daughterofursa]

I could definitely give you more pointers than that.

What do you mean by "firearms"?

[Zuko isn't familiar with all the terminology for guns. She knows... "guns." Also bazookas.]

[Voice]

[break_the_ice]

Firearms are long range weapons. Pistols, Rifles, that sort of thing. Like... advanced crossbows?

I'd forgotten that you're not from a world where they've been developed.

[Voice]

[daughterofursa]

Oh. The ones that fire bullets?

Are those any good against shadows?

[break_the_ice]

Mine haven't failed to drop anything yet.

But... mine are a little special. Relics of the golden age, and designed explicitly to fight the Darkness. I can't be sure if a regular gun will do anything.

[daughterofursa]

We should find out. Having a ranged weapon might be better for some people.

[heroless]

[Hilda recognizes the location, but not the person. Then again she's not the most social type herself so that's... probably to be expected.

But the topic gets her attention enough to actually warrant a response.]

I wish I could aid in the way of healing, but that's not a skill I was ever gifted. I do, however, have some training in swordsmanship and could use some practice in that department.

If you would be willing to assist, that is.

[daughterofursa]

[Zuko probably should have introduced herself in her video but we'll continue to forget that part for now.]

Of course. Even if you have training, it's important to maintain your skills.

[heroless]

[There will be plenty of time for that later.]

I don't have any weaponry currently, but I could possibly request something.

[daughterofursa]

We do have an armory, if you need something in the meantime.

[heroless]

Oh, do we? That's helpful. I'll look in to that, thank you.

[daughterofursa]

Don't mention it.

Video Response

[robodorable]

[S24 blinks a time or two as she switches the video mode on.]

... It's an option. Hopefully you get a few people.

Video

[daughterofursa]

[Why that reaction.]

Did I say something strange?

[Or maybe she didn't do the video right?]

Re: Video

[robodorable]

I mean for the sword training. Helping people learn is a good plan.

Video

[daughterofursa]

Oh. Yeah.

You just seemed confused about something.

Re: Video

[robodorable]

... Are you trying to train Kizuna to be your cameradragon?

Video

[daughterofursa]

[Blank look for a few seconds.]

You mean, to use the camera?

I don't think she's interested right now.
