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]

[Just another patrol in the forest for Saleh. He wanders by the clearing and spots the old man in the new feather garb, looking quite disoriented. He looks like he needs a hand, so Saleh will approach casually.]

Ah...pardon me. You look in need of assistance.

[Now that's a familiar voice. Aang peers into his journal to check.]

...Iroh? Is that you?

[Video response]

[geniustheveil]

Iroh-san? [The face peering back from the video feed belongs to a dark-haired girl of Asian ancestry. She looks somewhat flustered, or at least surprised to see him - again, it must be, considering she'd used his name. Her expression resolves itself to a smile.] I'm glad to see you again.

We have tea at our house if you want me to bring you some!! I don't mind 'cause there's like half a pot left and we can always make more later. How much tea did you want? What do you want for breakfast? I like to have pancakes for breakfast but those take a while to make.

There is something rather like a tea shop in the village. It's called a "coffee shop," but they brew excellent tea as well.

[Upon seeing the conversation with Ikki, Sokka lets out a sigh. Oh, that girl...]

So... I'm guessing by now, you're even more confused than when you first arrived, huh?

[Wow, talk about timing. He was talking to Zuko about this guy just a few months ago.]

Wow. You got over that quick.

[Video] Oops, I thought I'd replied to this before. My bad.

[Here, Iroh. Have a blue-haired woman with a paper flower tucked in her hair peering at you through the book.]

I would advise you to be careful with those wings. The Malnosso put them on everyone and damaging them can be hazardous to your health.

[Why hello there, friend!]

Iroh? Did you just get here? [She's actually kinda excited. Now he can try her tea!

...

Wow. That's a selfish reason.]

[Katara is just on her way back from a shift at the Med Lab in the Battle Dome. She's not REALLY looking forward to cooking their growing family dinner, so she's thinking of stopping by the super market and trying out the 'frozen food' section.

It seemed like cheating.

But she was tempted.

Torn between her conscience and convenience, Katara almost walked right past a certain new feather... except Iroh was kind of hard to miss.]

General Iroh?

[Crap. When would he have come from? She didn't think he'd try to attack her either way, but if he was from before the end... oh no, and Zuko, had he even had a chance to talk to him? How long would he stay this time? But more importantly, was she going to have to fight him?]

Apparently I'm always running late nowadays.

[twodragons]

Uncle!

[Zuko's face is unnecessarily close to the "camera".]

Did you just get here?

Where are you?

Do you need help?
