[ 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.]

[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?]

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.

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.

[Audio]

[luckymonster]

A fugitive.

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

[ 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?

[luckymonster]

[It was not hard to figure out where Zuko's words or tone was hinting at. Yet, she still kept a smile. If anything, she shift her tone to her usual sweet voice.]

You're still not mad about that, are you?

Oh no. I saw this interesting tradition around Fayren hunters. They place the creature's head against a piece of wood. Just their heads. And underneath, they right their trophy's name. I'm sure Father would be so pleased to see that, don't you?

[ oh yeah, he's sure ozai would love to have his own son's head as a keepsake ornament. ]

That's gross. And uncivilized.

video;

[luckymonster]

Exactly! That's what it deserves.

I trust you're well informed about why its being hunted down, yes?

video;

[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;

[banishment]

You forget that I was at the North Pole when Zhao lost the Avatar. I know who that's supposed to be.

[ a beat. ]

Are you sure that's him?

video;

[luckymonster]

Good. So you can confirm if that thing is the Blue Spirit, General Zhao was talking about.

Either way, there's only one way to find out. Hunt him down and kill him. [As ruthless as ever.]

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?

video;

[luckymonster]

Reiatsu? What is that?

Also, I think he is my responsibility. I need to put a stop to him.

video;

[frigus]

I'm able to detect spiritual pressure. If one is a spirit or has spiritual energy, then I'll be able to sense them.

And just what has he done, if you don't mind me asking?

video;

[luckymonster]

Well, that may come in handy if he truly is a spirit.

He obstructed justice. There's this person in our world, an enemy. He wishes to halt all progress of the world to keep everyone from moving forward. We captured him and the Blue Spirit helped him escape. Not only that, but the spirit killed most of the soldiers and people in one of our colonies to do so.

[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!"

[melodyoftheabyss]

What is this?

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. ]

[banishment]

I never said that I actually saw the Blue Spirit. I only know what Zhao claimed to have seen. He – it, whatever it is, matches the description he gave.

[ since when did lying through his teeth become one of his easiest default settings? he used to be a terrible liar, didn't have a deceptive bone in his body. now... ]

[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.

video;

[frigus]

If you do need my abilities, then I would be happy to help.

[she nods.] So he's dangerous? Well, if that kind of person is running around here, then people need to be aware of this danger.
