yeh if zuko dies everything goes to shit, hell azula might even have a breakdown.

ill back takeing the deal even without more safteys

[x]accept the deal

i do suggest we add this to the deal though
[x]You'll not deliberately misinterpret any commands and instructions I give. You will never try to harm me, or arrange that I am harmed. After I die you will still follow the instructions given. You will not use your human shell to make any form of spiritual deal with anyone. You will generally act in good faith. If so you accept, you have a deal."

Actually, all she's saying is he'll get out of the pit, nothing about what happens once he makes it that far... He'll still be in the spirit world.
He'll get out of the pit to where agni's trying to lead him.
"It is not without its benefits..." the butterfly says. "Do you not fear, little bender of flame, the times when the sun grows dark, and Agni, great Agni, turns his eyes away from the world? Do you not know that great lord Agni, the mighty Sun, does not stretch his hand out to you humans who choose to step into our world? Bind yourself to me, and you must carry me with you, but never will we be separate...."

worst case, we either dont have a second child or have it in secret then kill it. But probably by the time she is to be born we will be powerful enough to take care of any issuses that might arise
Um you mean we get pregnant than never have sex again. Otherwise we'll have twins. Cause she's making the body wholesale.

Thought of something. If we do take the deal we should add a stipulation that she does not firebend beyond what a average human firebender. Who has spent an equal amount of time practicing, as she has. This neatly insure that the avatar will be able to kill her if needed.

It better be, because if Azula dies first, there doesn't seem to be anything to prevent Navi from going "well, she's dead, so I don't have to follow the terms we agreed upon any more."

@HioH: Nope. Whichever comes last. Meaning if Azula dies before Yousei II is 80, she gets a get-out-of-all-agreements-free card.

You do know you're giving every appearance of splitting hairs to try to save face right?

And not in the acceptable way with say Ullyssian, The Mountain and the beast upon it, and Empty Moon.
I can admit when I'm wrong, but I can also stand by where I believe I was correct.

Where I well and truly was wrong? Big one was that Navi was willing to give only us her power, without a deal. That was one of my underlying assumptions, and I was incorrect. That one is on me.

Navi's power? There is a considerable difference between, "My power will give him a better chance at surviving these pits," and, "My power guarantees his survival." One is probability, the other is certainty. It completely changes the dynamics.

But she cannot know this without a degree of foresight and time manipulation. If Zuko was lying on the ground dying right now, her gift would get him out? No. Circumstances do not exist where Zuko could die despite the power? I find it improbable.

Chibi straight up told us that Navi can control WHEN her power arrives at Zuko. At very LEAST she is using that the hedge her bets of when Zuko succeeds, and quite possibly looking ahead to see that it happens. He also told us that we could extract this knowledge from her, but it'd be like pulling teeth.

I feel like tugging out some teeth.





[X] "How can you know that his survival is guaranteed? Even now Zuko is fighting, but for there to be no outcome in which he can lose? His strength cannot wane until he can no longer fight and die as we discuss terms? You have not pressed the urgency of his circumstances since we began negotiations. You have complete and utter certainty that he will survive. Or has he already won? Tell me the means by which you vouch for Zuko's survival."

"Third human child. After the elder two are determined healthy and are assured to live to childhood. Should one miscarry, or simply fail to survive infancy, as they sometimes do, then another human child will be born until there are two healthy children before you."
This still allows her to be the 7th child, whether one is counting only the human ones, or otherwise. Though it seems unlikely that that would happen naturally.
Hmm... Let's see...

Nah. Assuming no deaths and the most favorable human/dragon birth ratio it's still just 12.6%.

It would take some serious meddling to get it done.

Well fuck, with that little clause in our original contract, the current deal so many want to accept has a HUGE hole in it. If we die, she wont lose or drop the body, because due to a preexisting deal, all contracts will be void. But the body wont go anywhere and she wont have to give it up, since this deal is about giving her one. Not her controlling it.

The deal as stated would greatly incentivize Yousei killing Azula because of the prior "all further agreements voided upon Azula's death". Unless that can be bypassed somehow to make any deal made here binding even after Azula's death, it's a real crap-shoot.

Yes that issue is a worrying one... But, if I was not mistaken, it also had a clause to force her to the spirit world with Azula's death. (I may no wrong tough)

Also,
I was thinking with myself, and would like to
Propose that, before the deal is completed, the butterfly vow that she is dealing in good faith, and she knows that Zuko wouldn't survive without her power... (just to protect us from doing brokering an unnecessary deal)

Yeah, that's why I said it wasn't clear.
However, if that were the case, then Yousei shouldn't have any problems accepting "whichever comes first" because it would be effectively that anyway in both versions of the agreement. So there wouldn't be any reason for her to insist on "last" as she had.

Wait a minute. If we decide to go off into the rain again, is she forced to come with us regardless of whether a deal is made or not since she is bound to us?

Also the deal is unfavorable to us since it only since guarantees Zuko survives this encounter till he reaches a place where Agni can guide his escape. This does not guarantee he survives totally intact at all. It also does not guarantee anything afterwards.

Anyway this is my suggestion:
[x] Refuse the deal
- [x] Ask it to give you power and then use the power to deploy wings and rocket boots to the top of the mountain, overpowering the wings and rocket boots if we have too.
- - [x] Finish with Raijin fast then go save Zuko like a big damn hero.

Is allowing her to continue our contract with our descendants, but with as little interaction between them as possible, viable at all?
Sure. You can demand that she not interact with your family, outline that when you die her body is to be abandoned and disposed of, stipulate that she's to obey commands mommy gives, there's lots of options.

And, though getting her to admit it is going to be like pulling teeth, here? She can send the power not just where it's needed, but exactly when, too. Though it's a little trickier, and of course PIME TARADOX, if you agree then you always agreed after it got there, quantum nonsense, eeeeh.

But yeah, some restrictions will be more easily accepted than others.
I'm quoting this just to remind people, but there isn't actually a time limit. Also, that we can just push for a contract like the one all firebenders have with Agni, but that's a bit different.

This might have its own risks, but I get the serious feeling that Yosei has already sent it, or looked ahead and saw that Zuko has her power right now. Her absolute confidence that Zuko will survive...

Either she really, really, REALLY knows that Zuko cannot die, which seems unlikely as these people aren't her types of spirits, or she's cheating. I strongly suspect she is cheating here. If she can see Zuko walking out with her power, then she knows that this deal must come to pass in some form, or that Zuko must receive her power. Maybe we can even force her to send him her power for free this way.

Also, while Chibi would have to confirm this, the semantics of Yosei's declaration that Zuko cannot die? Would she gutter out and die upon Zuko's death in the dark, or would she gutter out on the spot if what she spoke was in any way false? Because if it's the latter, then we KNOW she is cheating.

Not true, if the bit about dead Fire Lords coming back as undead skeletons is the case. As I believe it to be.

Perhaps we should consider dropping any specific time limits at all, as long as Yousei is guaranteed to leave mortal world upon Azula's death. But at under no circumstances should we allow Yousei to remain in the mortal world after Azula's dead.

That seems like a compromise that gets Yousei the possibility of living to be an post-octogenarian.

Pretty sure spirits (except for maybe Koh) don't lie. She was incredibly offended by Yangchen lying to her.

Even if we have the 'whichever comes first' clause it still gives her too much of an opportunity to ignore it.

If we die before the 80 year line she still gets out of the deal with that clause in it.

And I don't know about you guys, but I see Azula either dying deep in the hundreds of years or dying before she turns 50. And I'm pretty sure the latter is more likely.

There's also the fact that, with a mortal body of her own, Yosei will become damn near unstoppable by the time even 40 years pass. Look at when she got a body before. While it doesn't say how long she had the body persay, it probably wasn't more than ten years and yet she's shown to have been more powerful that the freaking Avatar in a relatively short time span.

In other words, we do not want to give her a body. Ever.

This. Rest assured, if there was a time limit? Yosei would not have failed to mention it again. Instead she gave up after one mention.

That's why I want to call her on this hesitance. If she has already looked and she SAW that Zuko has her power, then she must give Zuko her power. No ifs, ands or buts. Or she causes a paradox.

I suspect she's looked and she saw Zuko receiving her power and climbing out. So she needs to give him her power, now she just wants something for it.

We might be able to get out of this without Yosei getting a body, if we call her bluff.

And if it's not a bluff? Well, Chibi already said that Yosei can send the power whenever it is needed. We lose nothing by pressing Yosei on this point.

yeah, if we give her a body, then die before the 80 years are up, all of our deals are void and she gets to do whatever the fuck she wants.


so she's going to get her body then keep trying to have us killed.



[x] refuse.

also, if she says "there is no chance of him dying after i give my power" it sounds suspiciously like "there is no chance of him dying, whether i give him power or not"


Zuko has Agni at his back, no deal we can broker could possibly be more powerful than that.

just hurry this up so we can get back to doing stuff.



[x] eat her, then fly to the top as fast as possible. or just fucking walk. i dont care, so long as we get out of this damn cave and start doing things



oh, one more thing. we probably shouldnt sell our fucking children without consulting the father. you-know?


so in conclusion.


[x] no body
[x] om nom nom nom
[x] FLY!

There's also the fact that, with a mortal body of her own, Yosei will become damn near unstoppable by the time even 40 years pass. Look at when she got a body before. While it doesn't say how long she had the body persay, it probably wasn't more than ten years and yet she's shown to have been more powerful that the freaking Avatar in a relatively short time span.
Although it was implied that she started out a lot stronger than she is now. As in, she was powerful enough that Amaterasu was her replacement.
So~...What you want to let her build up to that level again? Or worse, since she'll have even more time to build up power?

How many times does the "atemporal hijinks = no time limit" need to be pointed out?
If Yosei has to reverse time to get Zuko the firepower in time, I would imagine she would tack on a few extra little bits for the trouble.
If she has to reverse time, I suspect she won't mention it to us because then we'd have her in a corner. Or just do it for free, because she's go what she wants.

If Zuko's already dead, then he's dead. Yosei can't send back her power to save him, she's already observed the outcome.

Yes. If she's actually bound by these terms and will be forced to leave on those conditions, I don't see a problem with her being growing powerful. There'd be more powerful spirits anyway and she'd be forced not to act anything like her past self.

Problem is, our prior agreement provides a gigantic loophole.

We can and should try to call her bluff. But I suspect as a sprit, she is not fully by bound by liner time.

[X] Decline the deal as currently stated
If there's a popular good clause to add then the deal is good to go.
Otherwise I'm thinking eatery is better.

My proposed extra clause is the whole knowledge thing, "answer every question I ask truthfully and completely" and that the deal nullification does not apply to this agreement.
Pretty sure spirits (except for maybe Koh) don't lie. She was incredibly offended by Yangchen lying to her.
Still, having her actually having to answer our questions? And completely? Useful.

[x] Insist on "whichever comes first". Remind her of the nullification clause in our previous deal.
