[Console/Video] He's back? Kind of?

[lordhotman]

[When the video feed starts, a few might recognize the young man who appears. Though there's something a little off about him. He looks a little older, his hair is a little longer and...what is that he's wearing? Instead of his usual Fire Nation garb that he arrived with yesterday, he's now wearing something very different. A black shirt with a flame pattern, and while it's not really seen in the video, also black jeans and sneakers. Plus there's a pair of sunglasses perched on his head since it's sunny today, and a Water Tribe style bear claw necklace around his neck. His hair though is pulled back into the traditional Fire Nation top knot and that scar is still the same.]

 Hello, Zuko here. So I'm kind of new, but this isn't where I'm supposed to be. I was supposed to go home. I mean, this place doesn't seem all that bad but there really has to be some kind of mistake. 

[Yeah, sure, he's been to the welcome center. He's gotten the whole introduction, but Zuko is still in a bit of shock here. This wasn't where he was expecting to end up after taking the trial.]

Maybe this is some kind of trick, or another experiment. I don't know. I'm just so confused. Does Luceti even mean anything to anyone? Or is there anyone else around here who has wings?

[And with that, Zuko turns around. There's a couple slits in the back of his shirt, from which a pair of wings is sticking out. They don't reach much farther than his elbows, certainly not big enough to fly with, and they're red with black tips on the primaries. He hasn't seen anyone else with wings yet, but if he's here, then maybe someone else from Luceti is here too? ]

... Wings? Like an angel?

[lordhotman]

Yeah... sort of? I guess. They're not really big enough.

[ignitethestars]

How did you get them?

[lordhotman]

I got them when I arrived at Luceti. The people there put them on me. They did that to everyone.

[ignitethestars]

They just attached wings to you? How? Are they mechanical?

[lordhotman]

No. They're just as much a part of me now as one of my arms or legs.

[ignitethestars]

Does it feel strange? To have an extra limb I mean.

[lordhotman]

It did at first, but I've had them for a year now. I've gotten use to it.

[ignitethestars]

I suppose it would be the same as getting a limb replaced. Ah, getting used to it I mean. Though in your case you obtained some extra ones.

[lordhotman]

Wait, you've had a limb replaced?

[That's... not something that really happened where he's from. Once you lost one, it was gone for good. Unless you had a peg leg or something.]

[ignitethestars]

Yes. I lost my arm in a battle. It took awhile but I don't notice it as much anymore.

[Though that's not really true. He always feels it even though he shouldn't.]

[lordhotman]

Oh. ... That's rough buddy.

[Because what else do you say to that.]
