¤ 10 - Lesson learned

[honorinflames.livejournal.com]

[normally, the turkeys would be driving him up the wall. There would be shouting and singed feathers, and something would likely get blown up. But, spending two weeks without his fire seems to have had some kind of effect.

He is currently sitting halfway up the staircase leading from the lobby, staying mostly free of turkey-related violence. And how is he keeping them at bay, you ask? He's using his temporary powers to feed them, throwing batches of oyster crackers down the steps into the lobby... and any that get riled enough to come up the stairs and get too close are getting beaned in the head by bagels]

So... this festival I keep hearing about... it's about giving thanks?

[scoff]

This place just has to rub it in.

[she's heard of feeding ducks, but this is...well.. unexpected. She's carefully edging her way around the crazy birds and towards the stairs, reaching them just in time to see one of them go flapping off as it dodges a particularly well-aimed bagel]

....what on earth?

[there's a certain mopey teen sitting on the stairs, glaring at the turkeys. Just kind of chilling there.]

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

[glancing back at the swarm of turkies] Are you... keeping them back or enjoying their company?

[honorinflames.livejournal.com]

[mildly annoyed--] Keeping them back.

[and then, as if to illustrate his point, he magically spawns and throws another bagel at an approaching turkey with a flick of his hand]

I don't think it's a festival. I think it was something to do with cooking lots of food, from what I read, and then eating it. You're supposedly giving thanks for the things you do have.

[She was about to walk into the lobby, but the turkeys and Zuko are stopping her from going downstairs any further.]

[glances over his shoulder at her]

So... a feast or something?

[rhymebell.livejournal.com]

Yeah. With family and friends. I'm pretty sure the turkeys are supposed to be killed and eaten, but...

[She start reaching down to pet one.]

They look kind of friendly.

[honorinflames.livejournal.com]

Tch. Family and friends are--

[then sees what she's about to do]

Hey, watch out!

[those turkeys are rabid, man!]

[stalkershiki.livejournal.com]

Huh? Rub it in? Rub what in? Are you, like, not thankful for anything at all, and bitter about it or something?

[honorinflames.livejournal.com]

...I'm trapped in a ridiculous magical Castle, that takes everything away from me, and likes to taunt me about it.

Excuse me if I'm not exactly feeling very thankful.

[stalkershiki.livejournal.com]

But it also means that you get to meet all sorts of interesting people from all sorts of worlds, which is really pretty cool! Plus, the castle also gives you anything you ask it for. I mean, it's not ideal or anything, but it could also totally be a lot worse, you know?

[honorinflames.livejournal.com]

Whatever. I don't care about any of those things.

[optimystically.livejournal.com]

[walking by.... woat what is-]

Are you making those?

[honorinflames.livejournal.com]

Making what?

[magically sends a bagel flying at a turkey that seems to be approaching her with evil intent]
