[ he found it. he had aimed to find something similar, not something that bore a near-exact resemblance to the one he discarded at lake laogai, and that marked the first time he'd stolen something since ba sing se. zuko had worked hard at living an honest life in genessia, but this was something he couldn't do honestly. so he stole — he stole the mask and the means to piece together an outfit that would cover him from head to toe, and a pair of twin katana to strap to his back in place of his own swords (too recognizable).

looking every bit the part of a depiction on a series of wanted posters that only his uncle and the avatar knew were actually his, zuko reached for his device. ]

( ANONYMOUS VIDEO, UNTRACEABLE )

[ the masked figure on the screen says nothing, blank black eyes staring at the screen. it raises a gloved finger to its mouth as if shushing the viewers, holding the pose for far longer than necessary. and just like that, it's gone, the feed disconnected. ]

What was that...?

[That image was worrying, to say the least.]

[Audio]

[luckymonster]

A fugitive.

You need not concern yourself about him. If you find him, direct me to his location.

[Audio]

[beautifulmidboss]

Might I ask what crimes he has been accused of?

It may become all of our concerns if that display was intended as a threat.

[lost_heart]

Well that was rather pointless.

[He's seen more threatening Video's. But this did peek his curiosity as to just what this guy was trying to convey.]

[Where they dealing with batman or the riddler?]

[video]

[luckymonster]

Don't concern yourself with the fugitive.

He's a known criminal from my world. So if you ever see him, report to me at once.

[video]

[lost_heart]

[Hm, he doesn't know about that...]

I'll consider it when the time comes.

[Don't hold your breath, he trusts you less then the "criminal" on screen.]

Azula mocked General Zhao for his idiotic report to the Fire Lord, her father, that a Blue Spirit took away the Avatar. When asked to describe the said blue spirit, he said it was someone who was wearing a blue mask, had two swords and wore black clothing from head to toe. No spirit could penetrate fire nation walls filled with archers and firebenders. It had to be a man who was strong enough to battle with their armies, or General Zhao was lying about capturing the Avaatar.

But her he is. It's almost like he knew Azula was here and wanted his existence to be recognized. Instead of being petrified, Azula had a smile on her face. Her eyes full of determination. The avaatar wouldn't be a problem if this blue spirit had not meddled in their affairs. She will do something countless others failed at, she will kill the blue spirit. "Today's my lucky day", she said as she put down her own feed. This place wasn't as boring as she initially thought.

[ zuko reacted well, squinting at the delayed image on the screen now that he was free of all that heavy costuming. his good eye squinted, lips pressed into a thin line as if in thought. and then, as if he all of a sudden recalled the wanted posters that had hung next to his and iroh's in ba sing se, he gasped, that good eye going wide. ]

That's—

[luckymonster]

Zuzu.

[A smirk on her face as she saw her brother's reaction. Seriously, don't tell her she'd have to stay with him just to keep him from getting scared?]

Oh? You recognize him? Don't fret Zuzu, I'll handle him... or it.

It doesn't matter, I'll kill that Blue Spirit. I might keep its head and mask as a trophy for when we get home.

[banishment]

From the wanted posters. You had them plastered all over Ba Sing Se.

[ that edge in his voice was to remind her of his own wanted poster, as if he were offended that his face had been stuck to a wall next to this masked bandit. ]

...and do what, put it on a pike outside the palace? You do realize that we abandoned those barbaric wartime practices centuries ago, right?

[frigus]

Strange...

[she was straining herself to see if she could detect any odd reiatsu, whatever that was it unsettled her.]

Who was that-?

video;

[luckymonster]

The Blue Spirit.

He came from my world. Don't worry about him, I'll handle him.

video;

[frigus]

A spirit. Hm- I should be able to pick up his reiatsu in that case.

Are you sure you want to handle it alone?

[betel_geuse]

"Whaa? Is there too much noise going on in the city? Why send a message making the hush thing? Look, if there's something ya don't want people to talk about, just say so!"

[banishment]

All I saw of him — it, whatever — before were wanted posters. I won't pretend to know what it was trying to achieve with this.

[ except since zuko was the masked man in question, he knew exactly what he was trying to achieve: get azula's attention, keep her attention, draw it away from others. ]

[betel_geuse]

"Before?" Betelgeuse asked. "Before, when? Evidently, 'it' wants us to be quiet. Kinda grumpy of it."

[melodyoftheabyss]

What is this?

video;

[banishment]

The Blue Spirit. A bandit from my world. Ignore it. It's probably just trying to rile us up.

[ which was exactly what zuko was trying to do by pulling that mask back on: rile up azula. ]

video;

[melodyoftheabyss]

Even so, if innocent people are at risk, the it would best for us to pursue it, is it not?

[ She narrowed her eyes. Tear didn't like this. It seems fishy...especially that blue spirit with the strange mask. ]

[luckymonster]

Someone whom you should direct me to, once you've seen him.

video; not here

[scelus_sceleris]

[ Well an certainly interesting view. Another man bearing an ornate mask. for what reason he wondered. Of course, Kurei will keep tabs on this. He cuts the feed as quickly as he sees it. ]

not here

[scarletrose]

[The moment the feed ends, Kurei will notice his door left a jar, even if it was locked initially. A moment later, he will see a short shadow sneaking a peak at him. It was a masked man. Kurenai only knew one person who walked around wearing a mask. So she decided to check on Kurei.]

[whiteas]

......

[ She's just making the most 'what' face right now. ]

Can I get the last minute or so of my time back now?

[banishment]

[ don't take it personally don't take it personally don't take it personally ]

I don't think it's in the business of providing refunds, considering it's known for stealing.

[luckymonster]

It is a boring display, I'm sure.
