[At first, this post wasn't supposed to be on purpose, which is evident in that for a while, all your getting is the inside of Zuko's pocket as he's heading up the stairs to the deck. Unfortunately, the Barge apparently has other plans, and in another freak why is this happening moment, a huge, powerful stream of water is suddenly spilling down from the ceiling, which is sending him tumbling down the stairs in a decidedly undignified manner. There might have been a confused yell, and the communicator is falling out of his pocket and dunking under water for several seconds, floating away.

The communicator shoots down a level or two and floats there for a while. You can still hear the water, and probably Zuko coughing a couple feet away before he eventually wanders over, looking a lot like a pissed off wet cat. He scowls at the communicator when he sees it's recording and picks it up before addressing anyone who might be watching it.]


For anyone who cares, the stairwell's turned into a waterfall. [He turns the communicator to get a view of what exactly's going on, and indeed, a waterfall has popped out of no where. It's a little less powerful now, but there's a couple inches of water on the floor and it's still steadily pouring down from the ceiling. There are some mossy rocks sticking out of the walls now, too.]

No one has any idea why this is happening? Still?

I'm going to get dried off. [And the feed cuts.]

[Private to Jon, a while later]

Would you be interested in sparring later?

[Private to Vanessa]

I'm heading up to the CES to practice my Firebending. Do you want to come?

Has anyone actually seen who's in their room? [Pause. Trying to wrestle it open. Failure.] Or been able to unlock the doors?

[Someone is locked out of his room and he is not happy.]

And what happened to the deck?

[Private to Vanessa]

If this is some prank you're pulling on the rest of the Barge, it needs to stop.

[Private to Iroh]

I'm assuming this isn't what you were talking about in your last post, Uncle.

Capa's last post made me wonder, what exactly is... religion like where you're from? It sounds like people have pretty different ideas about it, and it's just where I'm from, we've got spirits and beings that kind of make it impossible not to believe that there's something out there.

[Private to Vanessa]

I saw you talking to Rassilon.

I won't bother trying to brush all that off. Had things been different? I guess that person... during the flood, I mean. I could have been him.

My family doesn't exactly have the cleanest record when it comes to knowing how to run a country without just exterminating anything that got in our way. Or without using fear and torture to get people to listen to us.

But I know that. And I know that it's not the best way to run a country. Or that it's even acceptable. What we did was wrong, and cruel, and it had to be stopped. I saw that, and I fought for it to become a reality. A world where peace and kindness could help repair the damage and

I'm still fighting for it. We won the war, but that doesn't mean everything's magically been fixed. It'll take work, and it's not going to be easy, but that's what we have to do. And I'll keep fighting for that - a world where people aren't ruled by fear or prejudice or violence - until the day I die.

[Private to Vanessa]

I'm sorry.

I'm not sure what's worse. Being a kid or being a ferret.

Or an old person.

... I'm not affected. How often do floods affect our ages, anyway?

[Private to Vanessa and Narvin, separately. Narvin's comes much later.]

I have your knives.

I need copies of Vanessa's usual daggers, but blunted. Preferably something that can't be sharpened easily, if at all. I want her to have some kind of protection when she's attacked, but not something she can use to murder anyone.

Also, please return her stealth abilities, with the condition that I can see her when she's using them.

[Private to Kay]

I spoke with Narvin. He told me what he did.

[Private to Iroh]

...Are you busy?

[Zuko still looks pretty annoyed, but probably a little less so now that he's got thumbs again. Also, for anyone who hasn't seen yet, his room is the apartment he and Iroh stayed in in Ba Sing Se, and you all get a nice look at Scarface here, sitting at his table after going over his new inmate's file.]

Are floods usually that pointless?

[Warden Filter]

Vanessa VanCleef and Hope are the same person. It's confirmed in her file. Hope was an identity she created to lure people into a false sense of security, and she's been using it to get more information about the Barge.

Who's talked to either of them since she got here?

[Private to Iroh]

Do you remember Jet? [This is largely rhetorical.]

[Private to Wanda]

Thanks. For your help, I mean.
