[ It's so strange to be able to type again. After literally years of having to handwrite written messages, it's odd to use a phone again. It's perhaps that more than anything which sees him putting up this post onto the social media network. It's form a "newbie" and it might be out of place with the growing dark climate with the flickering lights and rotting foot, but it's something he throws out all the same.

And it's...! ]

Soooo!! Does anyone know any god date spots in the castle? Anyone already sailing the seas of romance before now, or is the stark soldiery we've been pushed towards put a quash on romance in the name of stoic friendship? Let's hear those stories, people! Crushes, illicit affairs, pining, maybe even marriage?! You can trust your tales to the Love Hunter Masa.

O o o r r r . . .

How about a game? ♥ We could do truth or dare if you like but while we're all a little hungry, how about word association! I'll even start us off:

Third Party.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Obviously.

[Why do people need to check this, what kind of worlds do they come from where they think Zuko can lay eggs??]

Ahaha... hey, for all I know your girlfriend can have children with a woman and is a dragon! I've heard of weirder!

[ That said, he laughs a little and brushes his face against the dragon's body, feeling the scales. How heavy and big is it? He would ask where she got this one, but... Well no, he might soon enough ]

[Oh. Wow. Um.

Wow.]

No, she's human.

[Kizuna is kind of dog-sized? But more serpentine and probably lighter since she needs to fly. She chatters a little at his unorthadox method of petting. Most people use their hands? How silly!]

Hahaha, then my bad for the assumption.

[ She feels warm, warm but small, a little slinky? Oh well, he keeps it up a moment longer before pulling her back, still in his hands. She's so wiggly. ... Also Linda may or may not have floated over towards them now, her arms crossed as much as a mouse can cross her comparatively stubby arms ]

And that's interesting, as a daughter. Linda here's my partner.

[Kizuna turns her attention to Linda with a bright chirp. Hello!]

You fight together?

[ Masaomi nods, petting the head of the dragon one last time before crouching down to let him back on the floor. Linda, for her part, punches one palm into the other palm and allows a surge of electricity to run down her body from her cheeks.

Masaomi answers, ]

Mmmhm! We're pretty good at it, aren't we?

[ Linda was nodding a Cool Girl's greeting to Kizuna, but looks back to Masaomi with a smug expression before waving her arms and saying in so many Raichu-words (which thus can't be totally understood by humans, but Masaomi at least can get the gist) "Well, you're pretty good, I happen to be one of the strongest ever, so really, you're just the lucky one I like you so much." ]

[Kizuna stares wide-eyed at Linda. How did you do that?? Wow!

Zuko's seen it before, and combined with Masaomi himself saying he's usually the weakest person in the room, well...]

Hopefully you'll do all right here.

[ It's perfectly natural to her! In fact, she she can do a lot more than this, and kind of wants to show it off some more... she didn't want to destroy the room or anything though. She's responsible. ... These days.

But Masaomi, for his part, nods. ]

Same. The things we've fought until now might've been monsters, but they were at one time humans.

[ And he is is a little worried about if him and Linda - who rely a lot on physical attacks - can fight off these beings Zuko's told him are hurt by light ]

Well, the only monsters here are our allies.

[It seems rude to classify the shadows as monsters at this point.]

Eeeeeh, how's that, Zuko-chan?

[ Didn't she just say they were little dark things which you shown Light on? ]

You know, like Sans. The monsters from his world are good people.

And they call themselves monsters?

[ Raven...

Mah, well then. ]

Yeah. It's not a bad thing for them.

Eeeh. I'll have to watch my language then.

[ He shakes his has ] I knew another girl - ironically a pretty girl who didn't like to be called that - who called herself a monster too. She could turn into a giant bird.

Did she say it like a good thing?

[Because if she was pretty but didn't like to be called pretty...]

More like it was a fact, actually. I can't say I get it either, but she did have some pride.

[ A tilt of his head ]

She actually made this.

[ And he reaches down under his loose white top which still smells funny Rin found to show one of the several pieces of jewelry he has on - a simple looking silver chain with a blue gemstone. He holds it out for Zuko to examine if she wants. ]

Edited 2016-08-10 18:57 (UTC)

[Zuko takes it, giving it a brief inspection.]

Does it do anything special?

[It reminds her of her now-useless amulet from the Bastion. For some reason, she keeps wearing it, tucked under her shirt.]

In RPG terms, you could say it raises "defense," as impossible as it seems. So I'm more durable while wearing it - or well, anyone would be.

[ And he tilts his head to the other side holding out his hands to get it back. He also gestures to his ear. There's several clip earrings in there, but there's also another spot towards the lobe. ]

There's another that goes here, a hoop earring to make me more or less immune to electricity.

[This is not the first time someone has casually told Zuko that they can be immune to electricity. She guesses it makes sense considering his companion, but it still feels like she's being belittled somehow. Even with Uncle's training, lightning almost killed her. But he can just... put on some jewelry, and he's immune.]

...

That's handy.

[Zuko hands him back the necklace.]

Honestly, I really benefit from it.

[ But that said... ] After all, electricity is one of the most dangerous things in the world, right? Well, this and any world. Sooo, I asked Raven-chan for it specifically.

[ He knows about it nearly killing aang. He knows about the phobia that Katara had as a result. All that baggage they had with the whole thing. But Masaomi at least is just glad Zuko didn't react with animosity to Linda, like Katara did at first. He smiles, reaching down at patting her head. Linda discharges a little static that makes his hair stand on end, but the smirks and noogies her back ]

Of course, with he output, she'd probably overwhelm it! Linda here can be as strong as a genuine lightning bolt!

[Zuko's not exactly going to leap at the chance to pet Linda or anything, but she's met a pikachu before and that helped. She's not nearly so on edge about it as she used to be.]

And it just comes naturally?

Mmmhm. Electricity is her birthright, and it builds up in her body, storing itself in those cheek pouches you see there. [ He says this as he's putting his necklace back on, and Linda is preening as he does. He continues to reiterate the stuff Crystal-chan's data provided, as well as his own experience, ] She can use it to stimulate her muscles, control magnetic fields, glow in the dark, and of course discharge it. Or rather, she has to discharge it sometimes! She's actually in a bit of a foul mood if she builds up too much. [ It naturally makes Raichu aggressive to not release any. ] Which is what the tail's for - think of it as a grounding cable. And it can also be used as a lightning rod of sorts, to collect ambient or static energy if she somehow drains too much.

[ And he clicks the necklace... there! ]

That said, she can easily reach ten thousand volts and way beyond that for little bursts. Some of the strongest of her kind [ HEY WAIT-!! I'M THE STRONG-- ] Can reach past one hundred thousand in sustained shocks

[Okay, she wasn't expecting him to go into that much detail. It's a little uncomfortable.]

I don't know what a volt is, but that sounds powerful.

[ Well he's proud of his girl! He's proud and what's more, he wants to try to impress upon Zuko that they're on top of things. That said, patting the mouse on the head again, he nods ]

It's a unit of measure for the pressure of electricity in my world. I'm no physicist, but the jist is that volts measure the strength of the charge, and then amps is how fast the charge can flow. You combine those to determine the power when it actually hits or powers something.

[ He may or may not have tried to explain that with hand signs representing a garden hose ]

[If anything, the hand gestures almost hinder her comprehension of this explanation, but "unit of measure" is pretty easy to grasp. Even if she has no idea how you measure that. She's just going to file it under the broad category of technology that's too advanced for her.]

It's nowhere near that strong when you're using it to power things though, right? Like a washing machine.

[Do washing machines run on electricity? Or would that be dangerous since there's water in them.....]
