Video
[ As the video starts up things are pretty quiet at first. There's a clear view of Zuko's face, his one eyebrow furrowed as his eyes flick back and forth studying the console. He got the explanation of how this worked, he knows what he's supposed to be doing with it... but it doesn't make the contraption any less bizarre to him.
After a good fifteen seconds of silence before he starts speaking. ]
Hello...
[ There's just a moment of hesitation here before Zuko stands up straighter and looks directly at the screen. ]
My name is Zuko. I am the prince of the Fire Nation.
[ A frown. ]
I don't know if that means anything to most of you here, and if it doesn't then this doesn't concern you.
[ Nice, Zuko.
He's still having a little difficulty with the idea that people here won't know what the Fire Nation is. It's a pretty big part of his world... it's a pretty big part of the entire world where he's from.
He takes a deep breath, and in the gravest tone he can muster up (which is pretty damn grave) says- ]
I need to know if anyone here has seen the Avatar.

This is not how he expected this all to go down. ]
I already said I didn't want a job!
no subject
Now. Tell me some of your hobbies. Your interests. We'll try and make it as painless as possible, but you're going to have to eat, and for that you need money, and for that you need a job.
Just because I'm going to help take care of you doesn't mean I'm going to give you money whenever you need it.
So interests. List 'em. Go.
[ There are some who may say Donna should come with a warning label. But none of those people have been heard from or seen in a very long time. Unless you count her Gramps. And he isn't on the turtle. SO TOUGH LUCK, KIDDO. ]

I don't have hobbies.
[ It's... unfortunately kind of true too. ]

[ A pause... okay, maybe it doesn't sound that way since he was just asking about Aang, but it is over now. ]
I didn't have time for hobbies.

No, the Avatar is a person.
no subject
Boy or girl.
no subject
... Both?
no subject
Oh! That's lovely.
So... you and this Avatar are close, then?
no subject
[ Extra complicated counting the second Avatar here. ]
no subject
[ And it also sounds like he might need or want to talk about it a bit. ]
no subject
It's not that interesting.
[ It's kind of interesting. ]
no subject
[ One way or another, she's getting the information, Zuko. Sorry, kid. ]
no subject
Whatever it's going to be, it's not going to be that.
no subject
All right, then. What else do you have?
no subject
I learned how to make tea from my uncle?
no subject
What else?
[ Nope. She's not going to let up on this. Sorry, Zuko. ]
no subject
[ He is quickly painting a very sad picture of his life right now. ]
