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

no subject
[He's already had this discussion with Gene.]
I got them at Luceti. Everyone there has them.
no subject
[Tony rubs the back of his neck, suddenly looking awkward. He knows it happens every now and then, but this is the first time he's actually encountered an alternate version of someone he knows.]
Well, uh, welcome to Keeliai. Sorry. I knew another version of you who was here a while ago.
no subject
[Yeah this is a little awkward, and actually he kind of experienced the same thing at Luceti too. There had been several versions of him over there.]
Thanks. ... Someone else told me that too. How did you know me?
no subject
[They'd been a nice bunch. Tony misses them.]
You've mentioned Luceti a couple times - is that somewhere in your world?
no subject
[Because if they still were, Zuko wanted to find them. But this is the same sort of thing he heard when he first arrived in Luceti. People he didn't know saying they had been friends with him.]
No, it's another world that pulled people to it. Kind of like this one but worse.
no subject
[He looks alarmed at Zuko's brief description of Luceti.] Another world like this one? ...You weren't fighting something called Malicant, were you? [Did Malicant make good on its threat to infect other universes after all?]
no subject
Wan was here too?
[He shakes his head though at the next question.]
The Malnosso held us captive and made us fight the Third Party.
no subject
Okay... what are the Malnosso and the Third Party? [He's relieved that Malicant wasn't a feature of this other universe, but it's unsettling to learn that there are other places like Keeliai. How common is inter-universal kidnapping?!]
no subject
[And how to explain this in a nutshell...]
The Malnosso are an organization that kept us in an enclosure, gave us these wings, and experimented on us. The Third Party... well they're bad news. Or they were. People with really big wings.
[Yeah held captive by jerks and made to fight even bigger jerks. Wasn't a good situation really.]
no subject
MOVING ON.] Wow, that sounds awful. What did they give you wings for? Can you fly?
no subject
What do you mean just a friend?
[He sees you trying to change the subject too.]
no subject
[His time in Keeliai has slightly improved his ability to dissemble. Slightly. He has no idea if that one's going to pass muster, though. Roll for persuasion!]
no subject
Yeah, it is.
[This said in an unimpressed and flat tone.]
And we're just friends.

[There actually were other Tony Starks in Luceti from time to time, but Zuko never personally met any of them.]
