Awakening [Unintentional Video/Action] - 01

[tea_lover64]

[The morning had a dullness to it, a sort of dreariness that just seemed to make time go slowly. Even nature seemed to be having a hard time getting started today. The clearing in the forest was still and quiet, except for the stirrings of an old man who was slowly coming back into consciousness. He has a long beard, and a far receded hair line. Despite his age, he is well muscled individual. As his eyes slowly open he stretches a bit and winces. There is a moment or two as he gazes around his surroundings, taking everything in and sizing it up.]

This is certainly a strange place to wake up. I don't recall drinking any wine yesterday.

[He strokes his beard thoughtfully for a moment. He gives another wince and stretches his back a little. It is clear something strange has happened. It is then he turns his head for a second, and then startled turns it again]

Wings?! Since when do I have wings?!

[He shakes his head a second, and gives his cheek a pinch. It would seem he wasn't sleeping. When he had journeyed to the spirit world before he had maintained his shape, though that was the closest approximation he could make]

Mmmmm. I could use a cup of tea, and perhaps a bit of breakfast. Although I suppose that would be a bit much to ask.

[His gaze goes to the book which had a strange look to it, curiously he moved forward and taps it and... the feed cuts out]

Your friend runs the tea shop does she?

[Consider his interest peaked]

[ex_tessen852]

She does. I work there too.

[twodragons]

[Unfortunately, Zuko can only shake his head at that.]

Not enough to be worth commenting on. I haven't been chosen for any of the drafts yet.

[tea_lover64]

Excellent. I shall likely have to go there myself. I always enjoy a nice cup of tea prepared by someone new.

[tea_lover64]

[Iroh nods in understanding]

That is probably for the best.

[Less chance of his favorite nephew being killed]

[ex_tessen852]

Hopefully you like it. I know that I can't ever match your tea, but I do try.

[tea_lover64]

Ah, true. However, only because you lack the experience. In time it is possible to perfect the art. I am sure it is quite good already!

[ex_tessen852]

You'll have to try it for yourself. I haven't gotten any complaints yet.

[tea_lover64]

I will certainly do so.

[When would he ever turn down tea?]

[twodragons]

I guess. It also means I don't know a lot of what's going on behind the scenes.

[And that sort of thing is important for the leader of a nation, right?]

[breezing]

Yeah, Grandpa started them!! They're not airbenders, but they follow the air nomad's teachings, and they live with us, and at the other temples.

[ex_tessen852]

Do you know where it is?

[markofthewise]

Welcome to Luceti, General Iroh.

[tea_lover64]

I'm sure there are other people who have more information about it.

[Delegating is also important]

[tea_lover64]

Glad to see their teachings continue on.

So do you go to school here?

[tea_lover64]

Would it be at the welcome center? I've discovered that place.

[tea_lover64]

Thank you, Sokka.

[twodragons]

Yeah... I should ask some of them if I'm concerned, huh?

At least that would get me somewhere.

[tea_lover64]

That would generally be the first step, yes.

[Iroh will pause for a moment, because there is something very wrong ]

So is beginning with tea not a usual thing here?

A goddess named Saori fought and killed him.

[She doesn't really know further details beyond that, but she knows Saori was responsible.]

Unfortunately, he's likely been revived already. People in this place...often do not stay dead.

[Video]

[tea_lover64]

It would seem I have entered a place of legend! I know of multiple lifetimes but revival within the current one is unheard of.

[Video]

[origami_ninja]

There is a price to the revival, but it is impressive, I'll admit. Typically, a person loses a sense or something of the sort for a minimum of a few months.

[She finds the revivals impressive yet unsettling. There's a reason edo tensei is a forbidden jutsu.]

[twodragons]

Oh!

[How appalling. He'd completely forgotten to ask!]

I'll call the waiter back over.

[Video]

[tea_lover64]

We can be revived as well?

[tea_lover64]

Ah, very good.

[Priorities Zuko, you got to have them]
