[It's nighttime in Luceti and Roku's sitting atop the roof of House 56. Why was he up there? Probably bored and was watching the stars or maybe just checking the damage done by Zuko's attempt to firebend. Possibility of leaks are not fun...and no, he's not holding off on that talk he was suppose to have with Zuko, not at all.

It's more like...where do you even start? A war, Azula, grandchildren...his grandson being labeled a traitor. He sighs and flops on his back.]

A lot sure can happen in more then a hundred years.

You can think of something better then that.

I'm sorry. I didn't know you two didn't get along until Katara and Sokka told me. It's difficult enough that I'm the only one in the past and left in the dark about the your time.

[restoremyhonour.livejournal.com]

Well by the time I really had a chance to think of something else it was too late... [Brain filter kicking in there, leaving that statement unfinished. Katara and Sokka had been talking about the past to Roku. Okay, that was to be expected, but still. He'll get back to names for Azula later]

What have they told you?

[flamedork.livejournal.com]

That there was a war and you had left the Fire Nation to stop it...then, somehow you came back and became the fire lord.

Why did you turn against the Fire Nation?

[restoremyhonour.livejournal.com]

I turned against the Fire Nation to join the Avatar and teach him firebending.

[Sorry Roku, this chat is going to come out in bits and pieces of history all in a nice jumble.]

[flamedork.livejournal.com]

O...kay. Was Aang against the Fire Nation too?

[restoremyhonour.livejournal.com]

The Fire Nation was against the Avatar.

[flamedork.livejournal.com]

Why?

[restoremyhonour.livejournal.com]

Because the avatar was the one person who could stop the Fire Lord Ozai's plans.

[Pause.]

One of the first things Fire Lord Sozin did after your death was march on the Air Temples. The Air Nomads were wiped out.

[flamedork.livejournal.com]

Sozin!? Why would he ever do such a thing!?

[restoremyhonour.livejournal.com]

Because the next avatar would be just as against his take over the world plans as you were.

[flamedork.livejournal.com]

No, that can't be the same Sozin I know. I can't imagine him ever...

[restoremyhonour.livejournal.com]

Imagine him ever what? Decided that the Fire Nation was better then everyone else and needing to take over the whole world?

You better start imagining it.

[flamedork.livejournal.com]

You're telling me my best friend started....everything!? The spark that led to this....war that's happening in your time? Of course I can't just imagine my friend in that light!

[restoremyhonour.livejournal.com]

Your best friend that killed you? Of course he wouldn't do anything bad ever. You defended that friendship to the end, even as you stood there dieing.

And fine. Don't believe me. Ask anyone, anyone at all from our world. They will tell you. Azula will do it so proudly too. But I doubt any of the others will be proud about it. [And Zuko is going to turn his back to you Roku and start to walk away. It might be your best friend, but it was his great grandfather. Back home he is trying to repair the honour of the Fire Nation from these very actions.]

[flamedork.livejournal.com]

Enough! Sozin is a lot of things! But he would never tarnish our friendship!

[restoremyhonour.livejournal.com]

[Well Zuko has his back to you Roku, but that sound of air and fire is a familiar one. Zuko will turn around and start as the house starts to burn. His instinct is to try and bend that fire, but just looking at it he can tell it is too strong, even if he wasn't warn out from that fight with Katara. Thankfully everyone was out tonight so he could just let the house burn. He instead turns to Roku and starts yelling at him.]

And how do you think going all avatar state HERE is going to change things?

[It's the smell that starts her running first - the smell of smoke and ashes. By the time she gets back to her house, she sees fire everywhere -- and Roku, Roku in the middle of it, burning himself, burning their house-- and he isn't Aang, she doesn't know him like that, she doesn't really know him at all and he's burning]

Roku! Stop that! You need to calm down. You're burning down my house!

[And she shoots off the water in her waterskin at the flames.]

You need to stop! Everything will be okay. In the end, it all gets made right!

[She has no idea what was said -- but she can guess.]

[flamedork.livejournal.com]

[markofthebrave]

[OK, lessening is good. And those flames are still there - and her house is still burning. So Katara has no choice but to bend the water from the surround grass and send it at the flames.] Listen to me. You marry Ta Min. You have a long and happy life together. And one of the last things you do in this world is save her life.

Would you want her to see you like this? Out of control and destroying things? You need to calm down.

...

What...?

[markofthewise]

[Well, Sokka is on his way back from his delightful talk with Azula. Only to find his house on fire. Again.]

What is it with you firebenders!? [And while he may not know any water magic, he does know Kipinn. So he tries something a little new and rather than gusts of air, he just uses it to suffocate the fire until its gone.]

[restoremyhonour.livejournal.com]

[With the arrival of Katara trying to calm down Roku, Zuko lets her do the talking and has tried to do something about controlling the flaming house. Sokkas efforts do much more to stop the fire though, so he turns back to watch the discussion between Katara and Roku. For now he's not adding to the discussion.]

[markofthebrave]

[And so, Katara, who is slightly shakey and a bit more emotional than she should be - her home, destroyed by firebenders again - walks up and takes Roku by the shoulders. She is concerned and angry.]

Are you all right?

[flamedork.livejournal.com]

I...I think so. What just happened-...
