¤ 17 - Last one standing

[he hadn't heard from him in a while. It was worrying, but... he never expected him to actually be gone. So much so that the blank door doesn't register right away.]

It can't be...

[he opens it, finds the room empty, and stands there for a hanging moment] ...No.

[a minute goes by, and he wavers on his feet. He almost drops to his knees and lets this hit him in a defeated rush. ...Almost. Instead, something inside catches him. He knows his uncle wouldn't want him to let rage overtake him, but... well, Iroh is more than a world away now. The fire builds, and he remembers someone suggesting that he should just take the castle down, brick by brick. It had been a tempting idea at the time... and now, what was stopping him?

So, like a certain similar moment a few months ago, a fiery explosion rocks one of the castle hallways. This time, it's lucky floor number 9. With a roar, a fireball blasts into the hallway from room 913, and continues from there.

He'd really like nothing more than to burn this place to the ground.]


((ooc: Floor 9 is on fire! Anyone who wants to join in stopping him, try to keep it all in one thread. For everyone else reacting, yelling, having their stuff burn, comment away anywhere~ mod-approved destruction))

[no, not really

...]

At the very least, you can hope that the castle is bored of you.

[his fists clench a little. How about he just knocks down a few more walls instead?]

I don't want to be toyed with anymore.

[snort. Easier said than done.] You could try living in the Dead Zone.

[honorinflames.livejournal.com]

Tch. As long as I'm still trapped here, it's all the same.

[sexyhitchhiker.livejournal.com]

Better to have powers than not, I guess.

[honorinflames.livejournal.com]

I doesn't matter.

[slipping deeper into that pit of despair now]

[sexyhitchhiker.livejournal.com]

Doesn't it? Survive this place in one piece and then go back and [...is she talking about herself or you now?] finish up the job.

[honorinflames.livejournal.com]

Survive it? Being here is just waiting. Just sitting around, wasting time, hoping it 'gets bored' while it plays its stupid games.

[sexyhitchhiker.livejournal.com]

Waiting is half the battle anyway. [dude, where the fuck are your meditation pancakes]

[honorinflames.livejournal.com]

[finally glancing away from the window and back at her] That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard!

[gone. long gone.]

[sexyhitchhiker.livejournal.com]

[glare. You just wrote off about 10 years of her life.]

If you can't do anything at the moment, then you rest up, train, gather information, whatever, so that you'll be ready to strike at the perfect moment.

[honorinflames.livejournal.com]

I am ready. I've been ready.

If you are content just waiting around, fine. But I'm not.

[sexyhitchhiker.livejournal.com]

Great. So what are you gonna do about it?

[honorinflames.livejournal.com]

[he just... turns to glare back out the window. You saw his idea-- fistfight the castle]

[sexyhitchhiker.livejournal.com]

[a sigh as she flops onto a chair, absentmindedly pushing some of her hair back]

Didn't we have this conversation before?

[honorinflames.livejournal.com]

[still glaring out at the world]

Probably.
