[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]

Yeah, it's weird how so many people from there show up in places like this.

[daughterofursa]

I'm almost jealous.

[miseris_socios]

Don't be. Even when they sound like they come from the same world, sometimes they're not, and then it gets even more annoying because they should know stuff that they don't.

[daughterofursa]

That doesn't sound so bad to me.

[Can't be any worse than having her sister around.]

[miseris_socios]

It can get bad. Why they think I should be in the group that got jerked around by the Kirijo Group rather than the one that fought against it I don't know.

... But I guess that doesn't make any sense to you.

[daughterofursa]

They thought you were on the wrong side?

[That's as much as she understands.

She almost suggests "maybe you switched" because that can happen but uh. She doesn't know the sides involved.]

[miseris_socios]

Yeah. I mean, I guess they didn't know they were being manipulated, but still. I wouldn't trust a guy as creepy as the one who was helping them... and I was right to be suspicious.

[daughterofursa]

Some people are better at realizing that than others.

[miseris_socios]

Yeah, I guess. It's kind of insulting to think of a version of me that wouldn't be suspicious of him, though.

[daughterofursa]

Well, he's not you, exactly.

[miseris_socios]

Well... yeah. But he's that world's version of me.

[daughterofursa]

That doesn't mean he's been through the same things. Whatever made you suspicious.

[miseris_socios]

... I guess. It's not like I really know.

[daughterofursa]

It might be better not to.

[miseris_socios]

Multiple worlds are confusing.

[daughterofursa]

Yeah, they really are.

[miseris_socios]

They can be kind of fun to explore, though. ... Even if it's frustrating that your family's in a different world from you.

[daughterofursa]

What do you mean by that?

[miseris_socios]

When I was in the Tower... someone kind of... we sort of made a family. But they had to go home to their world, and I had to go back to mine. So we don't see each other all that often. Our worlds are connected, but I've been... pretty busy, recently.

[daughterofursa]

Oh.

Isn't it good that you can go home though? Once we're done here, I mean.

[miseris_socios]

Yeah. I mean we got the worlds fixed, so... yeah. I just couldn't help but feel kind of restless there. I know there's things I should do to help people in less... like 'saving the world' kind of ways, but I still want to do that, too. So I don't really mind being here.

[daughterofursa]

I don't know. I think I'm looking forward to a world that doesn't need so much saving.

[miseris_socios]

Maybe I'll feel that way in a few years... there's nothing to fight with my Persona at home anymore.

[daughterofursa]

What is a Persona anyway?

[miseris_socios]

... It's a projection of part of yourself that some people can use to fight. I can show you, if you want.
