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

[lordhotman]

[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.]

[And now Zuko full out scowls at Sokka]

What is THAT supposed to mean? Are you saying there's something wrong with me? How could you!

[And with that she gets up and proceeds to stomp away. UGH. BOYS.]

[theideaguy]

[If only photographs had been invented already. Alas.]

... Yes, yes I am! You've been here for months already, and suddenly you've forgotten everything!

[And suddenly gotten a lot creepier. Sokka doesn't even want to think about an actual history with Princess Zuko.]

[ladyhotman]

[Hearing that, Zuko stopped in her tracks and whirled around to face him with wide eyes. So now she stomps back over to him.]

Well that's not how I see it okay?! And is that really the only thing that's "wrong" with me? Is me being a girl not good enough for you?!

[theideaguy]

[Yeah, Sokka feels well over his head here on how to handle this one. It really was weird. But how do you properly communicate the complexity of that in just a few words?

[Okay, fine. He might as well try.

[Sokka stands up and goes to Zukerina and places a gentle hand on his/her shoulder, sighing slightly. This is his serious face. He's now very serious right now, talking about serious things seriously.]

Look, I'd be lying if I were to say that it isn't just the tiiiiiiiniest bit weird, Zuko. [Understatement of the month.] There's small part of me that thinks it's weird, but there's also a part of me that thinks this entire place is weird.

But you and I are friends, good friends, and nothing changes that... even if... you dress different or have really long and nice hair. Okay?

[ladyhotman]

[Zuko continues to give Sokka that trademark grumpy glare. Though this time with a more feminine face. She really just wants to knock his block off right now, but she relaxes a little when he puts her hand on his shoulder and says what he does.

She then pinches the bridge of her nose with an exasperated sigh.]

Okay. You're right, we are friends, even if you can be a real jerk sometimes.

[This coming from the ostrich horse's mouth. Yep.]

[theideaguy]

[He sidles up next to Zuko and slides his arm across her back, to show that he's not going to hold it against her.]

Honestly, would you get along with me if it were any different?

[He grins before coaxing her along.] So c'mon, let me show the new lady around town, hm?

[ladyhotman]

I guess you've got a point.

[She relents with a small smile when he puts his around around her. She then follows as he leads her along.]

Okay, sure.
