04 ~ On the Other Side of the Field [Video/Action]

[Today, people might notice something different about Zuko. As soon as she wakes up, she notices there's something not right. This isn't her room, and these clothes too big for her. What in the world is going on? And wings? And journals? And what?

The video feed will start and those watching will notice that Zuko has longer hair and a distinctly more feminine face and voice.]

Would someone mind telling me what's going on here? Where am I?

[Yes, Zuko is now a girl. And doesn't even remember ever being a guy. As far as she knows, she just got here.

Eventually, she'll wander out of her room and start looking around the house. Wearing these clothes that just don't fit her at all. Needless to say, she'll need to make a trip to town to get something a bit more appropriate. So she can be find wandering around the village and eventually at the clothing shop.]

[...wait a minute, was that who he thought it was? She couldn't possibly be anyone else could she? And yet... she seemed to be speaking as though she was a new arrival. Hmm...

Have a rather bemused looking Spirit addressing your video, Ms. Zuko!]

You are in Luceti... have you just arrived? I see you already know how to use your journal.

[A pause, before he adds.] What is your name?

I guess so? I've never been here before but I somehow already knew how to use this thing.

[Weird but whatever.]

My name is Zuko. Who are you?

Then you are still Zuko...

[A Shift then, he can only imagine. But it doesn't seem as though she remembers her true identity, not does she remember who he was. This was going to make things rather... awkward.]

I am Eleytheria, the Wind Spirit. You do not recall our meeting?

What do you mean I'm still Zuko?

[She's always been Zuko!]

No, I don't.

Ah, well...

[This was suddenly even more awkward. Even if he explained it to her, would she even believe him? And just how much detail should he go into anyway?

It's obvious the Spirit feels a little uncertain now, but he soon speaks up again.]

The Zuko I knew used to be a... male.

[There's a pause.]

So you're saying I'm supposed to be a guy?

[She frowns deeply, clearly not amused.]

That's impossible!

[If this is some kind of joke, it's not very funny.]

In Luceti, many things that seem impossible are suddenly possible. I do not want to confuse you further but... it is entirely possible that some changes have come about in you as a result of this place.

Even so... I am sure you are still the same Zuko at heart. Outward appearances do not matter to me.

[Not that he's saying you're anything bad to look at of course Zuko but... you know, a human's a human. Ahem.]

[She's not really looking all that convinced. After all, she's only ever remembered being a girl. What if Luceti made her a guy? What then?

But the fact that Eley doesn't seem to care either way, appeases her a little bit.]

So... how well do you know me?

[Of course it was quite feasible that she should think that with only Eley's word to go on. There was no point arguing about it in any case, she was who she was at this point. Instead, the Spirit will focus on her question.]

We became good friends since you first arrived. I know that you are a firebender - the Fire Lord of a Fire Nation in another world. That you had a troubled past... an abusive father... yet you eventually sided with the Avatar to bring peace to your world and rectify your mistakes.

You also taught me a technique known as the Dancing Dragon.

[Hearing that, Zuko is visibly stunned. How could this person possibly know all of that? And she taught him the Dancing Dragon? Not many people could do that either.]

Okay... I believe you.

Thank you...

[It was reassuring to know that she still believed him despite the apparent changes. She might not remember, but being called a liar would have hurt Eley even more.]

These changes are usually temporary, so I am sure you will be back to your true self before long. Until then... you are still my friend, Zuko. Should you wish to do something together, I would not object

[He'll just... have to get used to the new you, that's all.]

I am my true self. To me anyway.

[She huffs a little.]

What if I don't want to be a guy.

[She grumbles a little more, not at all liking the idea that she's supposed to be a girl. But the fact that she woke up in a room with clothes that would fit a boy, kinda supported that case. But Eley is being very nice, she... she'll try not to take it out on him.]

... What would you like to do?

[Well... she was right. If she had no memory of her other self, then of course she believed this to be her true form, in every way. Eley can't help but throw her a sympathetic look at her frustration. Perhaps it really would be best to put the truth to one side and... just focus on how she was now.]

Hmm... what do females like to do? [It was sometimes hard enough to understand everything humans did as a whole, let alone their gender differences.] Are you in need of some new clothes? Perhaps we can look for some that are more fitting for your... appearance.

[That's kind of a weird question, and she's not entirely sure how to respond to it. Katara would be better at explaining girl things than she would]

Um... well, I guess it depends on who you ask.

[The more appropriate question would probably be what she likes to do. But that's okay.]

Actually, I would like that.

[She's not an avid shopper but that doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy it from time to time.]

[You'll have to forgive Eley for being a little tactless when it comes to these things. He wasn't usually the one arranging outings. He wants to try and help his friend though, to try to make her feel more at ease.]

In that case, perhaps we should meet in the square. I am not sure how beneficial my advice will be in the matter but... perhaps it will be 'fun' for the both of us?

Sure.

...

Um... where is the square?

[Maybe it would be better if Eley came and got her.]

[...oh right, no memories. Well no matter, he can come to her!]

Wait outside, I will go with you.

[Be right back, Eley's coming to pick you up Zuko!]

All right.

[And with that, Zuko closes her journal. And after talking to some other people in the house who can't help but notice her... change, she eventually ends up outside the front door.]
