What about your others quests then? Are you going to move them here?
Depends.

Mon.... yeah, probably better not to continue that one on SB.

Unsure about the others. Genma/Witch quests are probably going to remain safe, indefinitely, to continue there... well, if I can get back to writing on those.
Genma is safe, sure. Witch...? I dunno. Some stuff I've seen might irritate a mod. Well, it's backed up just in case.

And I do hope you can get back into writing for Witch Quest. Considering how long it is... It would indeed be sad if you stopped. Didn't you have something planned at the shrine?

If you do?

Suddenly, you have nobody promising to protect you from the fallout from potential failure to follow through with the bargain you just struck, if things just really don't work out.

And, as well, you can't succeed in carrying through your end of the bargain by default.

So... it might not be the greatest idea, to give in to Azula's murderous bloodlust, you know?
A bit unrelated. If Yosei is reborn(I guess?) as our daughter later on, she'll have a full range of human emotions and will pretty much have to obey us, her mother.

Does this mean that we could sort of change her personality into a more human one as we raise her? We don't exactly plan on dying, ever, so if we're lucky, we'll have her around as a human for a really, REALLY, long time.

Well, some people already have the posts saved, and it's just a process of getting around to it.

And if no one else wants, I am perfectly willing to copy/past over all of Chibi/whoever's quests onto this forum.

As I, for the most part, have nothing better to do with my life currently.

[Edit] And the double post thing shuts that down hard...

Like Azula has a full range of human emotions, right? Don't assume that just because the body will be human (shaped) the mind will be too.

Ands to all those who are saying "betraying Navi is a terrible idea" - I never said it wasn't. I just said that if we were to do it, this would be the ideal time to do so.

Or have all of you missed the part where I say "not that I advocate doing this"?

Sorry; didn't mean to offend, just talking from experience.

But I have to agree with croaker here; if it's a stupid fucking idea, it has no reason to be brought up. To make the best decision possible, all potential good decisions should be considered. Not all of them; and especially not the stupid ones.

Lay down the rules. Definitely lay down the rules.

You seriously want to tell him what he can and cannot do? Unless he says, "Give up your fire bending," or something extremely unfeasible, we're probably just going to nod and thank him for not just killing us.

When we get back, we are making sure all our friends and acquiantances always carry some iron weapons with them.

At least one decent weapon and a backup such as a knife or throwing knives/stars. Or at least iron knuckles or something goddammit.

AND carrying a spare pouch/bag (or two) of salt. Speaking of, we're getting a few small, wallet-sized pouches or bags of salt ourselves. Sew some into our clothes or something, I dunno.


If Zuko would have trouble carrying FOUR swords (i.e. normal pair of swords, plus pair of iron swords), he could maybe carry a single iron sword he's comfortable with.

Can Ty Lee make use of senbon, aka throwing needles? Maybe just iron-tipped ones, since fully iron ones might be hard to throw? Or a chain whip/seven-section-staff? Or is the chain whip something Mai is more likely to be capable of using?


... Actually, would it help to WEAR some iron as jewelry too? I mean, in some fiction (such as the game Exalted) just wearing an iron ring or amulet would give you some protection from Fair Folk. Does iron in Azula Quest only matter if it comes into contact with Spirits? Or does it have other benefits, such as maybe shielding people from some types of magic if worn?

I actually had what I believed to be the reason he called us here on SB; lemme get it on here again...

Quote:
 
I...actually think this might very well be the case; all things considered.

Let's look at the setting from the spirits' perspective; which is likely like how your standard fae in fantasy work, only with four courts instead of two.

First, we have the Fire Court; which is probably doing pretty damn well for itself, given the war and all. With all this Fire Nation dominance, I would assume that their doing all they can to stack the odds in their favor.

However...there's the other three courts to consider; Air's probably doing the shittiest, given there's only one air nomad left, and only the smallest use of lightning that's really not considered actually full on bending. Given how it was the Fire Nation to blame for this, they're probably a major factor against us.

Then we have the Earth Court; probably the second most prosperous of the courts, given the size of the Earth Kingdoms. Now that the Fire Nation's been muscling on their turf and winning for the majority of the war, they're probably helping out the Air Court in fucking us over too.

Finally; the Water Court, the court that's suffered the second most from the war. Since we've fucked over the Souther Water Tribe and have all of their waterbenders, that means we've effectively halved their influence in the Material World. Which also means they're also going to do whatever they can to fuck us up the ass.

So that's three of the four courts trying to restore 'balance', or rather; regain their power. The Fire Court's been running hot from the war, but it's still three-on-one; so they're being edged out in terms of stacking the odds in our favor over the other three shafting us. But...now we've gotten Raijin's attention. If he makes a deal with us; he gets benders again. The Lightning Aspect of the Air Court will then side with the Fire court. Which in turn means they'll likely counter what the Air court does. This makes it two-on-one; Fire vs. Earth and Water. Far better odds, which means maybe things start to look up for us a bit.

At least, that's my analysis on things...

You forget that the one half of the air bending court is militant, and probably was very unhappy with the Air Nomads for a long time now.

Also, looking for someone willing to help do the very tedious job of changing links on the story page from Spacebattles to Questionable. I've got the basic format setup on google docs, just trying to keep up with Chibi's posting rate and I'm falling farther and farther behind.

[x] Grand Raijin.

---

You're sunk. You can already feel an aching in your legs and arms that suggest it isn't long before you fall down. You've trained until you dropped enough times, on the Phoenix Flower.

And the iron hurts it.

There's a little puff of smoke and chittering hiss, every time the blade glances against the chitin.

But it doesn't hurt enough, and the natural armor is too strong, the blad refuses to sink through... might be just as well, it could catch, and then you're really f-

Damn.

Damn.

The thing has caught the blade in one pincer. A twist, even as it smokes, brings a loud crack...

And you barely manage to twist away from the stinger again, as you pull back a few fingerwidths of blade attached to a handle.

Well.

'Your flesh will be all the sweeter for the struggles you have made, all the more tender...' the... just scorpion, you suppose, croons, as the rest of the blade clinks and spins away into the darkness.

Everything seems to stop.

And then a bolt of light and flame falls from the heavens, crashing into you with all the force of a swooping dragon behind it, or so it seems.

'Your beloved one sends a gift, in need...' the whisper echoes through your head, as...

Yes.

You can feel the fire.

What's left of Azula's sword erupts into flame, as the scorpion screeches in sudden mortal terror, and it cleaves through the tail and drops the stinger to the ground as though it was never there at all.

It freezes in place, seeming undecided about whether to rush to the desperate attack, or skitter away in fright as its underlings are doing at the sight of flame.

You make a few quick estimates. You think you see the way out of here. ... What is beyond?

You guess you have enough... power, for a solid five minutes of firebending. After that, you're a man with a broken sword.

You have to conserve that strength for as long as possible. You don't know what else is out there.

Which means....

... Sorry, Azula. You can only hope that you don't screw this up. You're not good with words, and people, like she is. ... of course, that might not hinder you much, here.

"Now that the pleasantries are out of the way." You say softly, fire glimmering and then going out, conserving your energy for as long as possible. "We can begin to bargain in earnest."

There is a long moment of silence, before the black scorpion hisses once more.

'I will hear your words, mortal. You have proven yourself... dangerously worthy of my time.'

You smile, grimly.

---

You tear a bit of sleeve off and wrap it around the little fairy, before igniting both.

"... Much obliged." she croaks, floating up to collapse on your shoulder again.

You continue to climb through the thin air. Breathing remains a little difficult... how did those monks stand it? Maybe the temples weren't this high. There's a thought. Jin usually flies fairly low, though that's more for reassurance that if something goes wrong, the ship would have less of a distance to fall, and more of it might be scavenged and the ship might be more easily rebuilt from the wreckage.

Booming voices sound from ahead, as a pair of old men with spiked clubs argue with one another.

"She is of the blood that have killed our nomads." The one clad in red snaps.

"Nomads. Feh. Monks and pacifists." the blue robed man snorts.

"Our monks and pacifists!"

"It is the law of nature. The weak are meat! And the strong eat well. I do not mourn those who will not take lives to extend their own."

"Some did."

"Aye. So some did. Few, far too few. Those, I mourn. The rest? Pah. Dared they to appear before me and beg aid, I would have slain the lot myself."

"Bah. Ever were you a fool who would not consider the counsel of others. Do as you please, brother. But she shall not have my blessing."

"Then let her go without it! I care not. The winds will answer the call of my power just as well as to yours, they are so accustomed."

The red clad man waves an arm angrily and stalks off. His glare, when his eyes set upon you, is poison and death.

But he does not raise hand against you as he stalks past, and you feel as though you were a small vermin being passed over by a great and slavering polar bear.

It is the man in blue who clasps his hand upon the top of your head.

"You have survived. Good. Good. And so have you earned my favor. That of Raijin, the thunder and lightning of the storm!" The old man booms.

And electricity crackles angrily through all of your very veins.

You gasp, as his hand pulls away.

"Agni's grip upon you is deep. The children you bear... perhaps not." Raijin says. "You, I will allow that I cannot wholly claim as one of mine. Those who follow... Perhaps they will be of Agni, or of Raijin, or of both, or neither. It is... greatly unlikely that we shall agree once more to share one of your line, who we both take interest in."

You aren't sure what to say. Maybe "Thank you?"

"Where would you go, from here?" Raijin asks.

So...I forsee we have three kids now; one of fire and Agni, one of lightning and Raijin, and one for Yousei.
