[seaclipsed]

[ some time after the trial ends, katara and zuko are going to hunt neku down. they at least wait a bit to give him some time alone??

so wherever he is, he is suddenly no longer alone. ]

... Hey.

Comments

I basically told you what he told me. It was about the game. How it worked, the roles, that's pretty much it. I asked him to get a better idea of what we're up against, like I asked you.

[there u go he's not being vague anymore, let him live]

We all want the same thing. And if you're seriously considering giving up, then you do need help.

[seaclipsed]

And we just talked about the game as well. He gave me his... uh, opinions on how it was being handled.

[ more like criticisms but w/e josh ]

And we discussed what could be done differently to make ourselves more effective. So, no, we're not avoiding anything. or do you want a more detailed list.

[soloremix]

Well, yeah. The game we were in didn't involve murdering other people.

[this just gets more and more frustrating for him as the conversation wears on. his next line comes out almost defensive, snappy.]

Okay, then why do you want to help me. What good am I going to be for you?

[cuedoves]

[bitch just wait until week 3]

I know. But it's still more experience than we've had with it.

You know more about the system than we do. We all want Joshua to have justice -- or revenge -- for our own reasons, and unlike most people here, you aren't an idiot.

[that last one's kind of debatable but]

[seaclipsed]

And... it's just kind of terrible to be alone in a situation like this.

[ katara isn't stupid. she can tell that neku would prefer to be by himself. but... he probably won't last long here like that. ]

[soloremix]

...you guys sure are stubborn.

(And whether that's a good thing or not, I don't know.)

Fine. I'll humor you. But if this just paints a bigger target on our backs, then I'm saving my own ass before yours.

[cuedoves]

I doubt that. And I wouldn't expect you to prioritize our survival over yours, when you barely know us.

We've been in a similar position to you before. That's why we're stubborn.

[just volunteers their tragic pasts nbd]

[seaclipsed]

[ also they're just stubborn people in general. both of their personalities can be summarized by the word stubborn. ]

Right. Working together is for the best, but if you ever think that we might potentially make you a target, you're free to back off.

[ she says, as if either she or zuko are the type to let up that easily. ]
