thebastion | Day 309 [Open]

Who: Anya, Ibuki, Patchouli, and anyone else!
Open: Open! Mostly.
When: Day 309
Where: All over the Bastion
What: SNOW!
Format: I'll match
Warnings: It's Anya.

[For Ibuki and Patchouli]
[Sometime after lunch, Anya takes off to look for two of her best lady friends with a spellbook under her arm and some key ingredients in her pockets.

She's quite cheerful about it, a little oblivious to whatever else might have been going on lately. Cheerful, and insistent. She will track you down.]

[Open to All]
[Later in the day, Bastionites may be surprised to look up and notice that... it's snowing. Not only that, but the temperature has dropped.

At least in the more southerly parts of the Bastion. The farmlands might get a few sporadic flurries, but it isn't cold enough there to stick.

So if you've been missing snowmen or snowball fights or any of those activities that require winter to happen, now's your chance. It's probably not going to last very long.]

I don't think it's that simple.

Why would I hate someone I love for having to leave?

[Pause.]

...is this about Mom?

[wow zuko you're not supposed to know that!!

i mean no of course it isnt.]

Why would it be about her?

Because she had to leave us.

That's different.

It's probably always different.

When it actually is. Yes.

[she's gonna kick another snowman where the sun don't shine!!!]

[What is that even supposed to mean?]

...

I'm sure Mom thought about you.

[You don't have to keep murdering snowmen.]

[no, now rather than murdering them one just spontaneously ignites. what a waste of one of her firebending uses today tbh]

So what if she did?

[These poor snowmen. Although Kizuna seems really interested in the firebending, Azula has her rapt attention.]

Didn't it... bother you thinking she didn't care about you?

[Zuko was pretty focused on herself and her anger at the time, but she's pretty sure that came up during their special night at the beach.]

[they had it coming. but azula does notice kizuna's interest and preens a little for it. she loves showing off.]

It would be pointless to be bothered by that.

It's a feeling. It's not something that just goes away because it doesn't serve any purpose.

It should.

You can't force it.

Well, I did.

...if you say so.

[Not even Azula is that good. Zuko's not buying it.

Unfortunately, she seems pretty deep in denial.]

I don't need you to believe me to make it true.

I could say the same.

Then we aren't really getting anywhere, are we?

[maybe she will attempt to play with the snow???]

I guess not.

[Kizuna jumps back down from Zuko's shoulder. She'll play with you, auntie!]

[best day ever tbh]

She's so sweet.

[not a word she uses often in compliment]

...yeah, she is.

[Dubious agreement since it's coming from Azula. Thanks for teaching her dragon to attack snowmen?? Oh well. It's pretty harmless in the end.]

[first snowmen, then the world]

I can't remember - have you told me where she came from?

[She'll rule with a benevolent cuteness?]

The Monument. She was born here.

[seems legit]

Perhaps she will grow to be as fearsome as the dragons from home.
