[Lesson 20]

[lady_bounty]

I am interested in speaking to a person named Gaz Membrane.

I am also interested in speaking to a person named Toph.

...Ned, I am interested in some pie. Key lime please~! ...Also... are you any good with your hands? Like, using handtools and building stuff?

Gaz Membrane here. What's up?

My name is Faye Valentine. I've been talking to a number of people about our situation here, and your name has come up a couple of times. You played a key role in the Battle of Econtra, am I right? ...I was wondering if you wouldn't mind meeting with me face to face for a little chat, I'd be very interested to know your opinion on a few things.

Re: [screened//unhackable]

[gaz4prez.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was in the battle. Somehow my barrier didn't get decimated by the Entropi. I was able to hold them back a little.

Sure. Why not? Any information exchanged would be good for us, right?

[screened//unhackable]

[lady-bounty.livejournal.com]

An admirable feat, to be sure.

That was kind of my theory~. ...Well then, great, thank you. When and where? Your preference.

Re: [screened//unhackable]

[gaz4prez.livejournal.com]

I know it was. Not too many people could do it.

Cemetery is fine, at dusk. My preferred time.

So far you're the only person I've heard of who can.

Tonight? I'll be there. I'll be the woman in the gray coat, with the same color hair as you~.

((Thread? Also, haha, I like how Faye ends up plotting with all of your characters~! Except Tohru, but then again, she's not very plotty....))

For someone whose interested in a lot of stuff, you don't sound very interesting. Wha'dya want me for?

[voice reply]

[lady-bounty.livejournal.com]

[a short pause... when she speaks she sounds pleasant and lightly amused]

Well, I hardly think that's fair, I haven't hardly said anything yet~. ...My name's Faye Valentine. I was talking to a girl named Mai... she was telling me a little about bending and your name came up. You're an earthbender, is that correct? I'm very curious about what you can do, and Mai wasn't able to tell me much.... Would you mind meeting up for a chat sometime?

( voice reply | amused )

[rockingurworld.livejournal.com]

Oh, you talked to Mai? I didn't think she talked to anyone besides Azula and Zuko anymore. She doesn't even talk to me and I live in the same room.

I'm the best earthbender! Five-time champion at Earth Rumble tournament!

A chat, huh? Is there going to be food?

VOICE.

[ like you're surprised that he's been watching this, protective!zuko is protective ]

Any excuse for you to brag, Champ. And Mai socializes, she's just selective about with who she does it with.

( voice reply | wry )

[rockingurworld.livejournal.com]

Bragging rights are earned, Sparky.

Right. I didn't think I was real high on the list, but it's good to know for sure. Somewhere down with the not!rock wall and the blades of grass. Got it.

VOICE.

[banishment.livejournal.com]

That's not what I meant.

( voice reply | bored )

[rockingurworld.livejournal.com]

No, I get it. We don't exactly run in the same circles. You don't have to make excuses for her.

VOICE.

[banishment.livejournal.com]

Who are you mad at, Toph? Mai or me?

( voice reply | calm )

[rockingurworld.livejournal.com]

Who said I'm mad?

[voice reply]

[lady-bounty.livejournal.com]

We shared some tea and a game of shogi recently. ...I didn't realize you were roommates. ...I guess that makes us neighbors~! I live just down the hall.

[sounds appropriately impressed] Wow, really?! Five times? ...Damn, you must be good!

...There can be~! What kind of food do you like?

[consideritmine.livejournal.com]

Interested in even more people lately~? My, you do get around.

[lady-bounty.livejournal.com]

...Ha. Ha. And also, ha. You're a barrel of laughs, you are.

[consideritmine.livejournal.com]

Among other things, yes.

[lady-bounty.livejournal.com]

True. You're also a sadist.

[consideritmine.livejournal.com]

Only when it proves entertaining~ ♥

[lady-bounty.livejournal.com]

...While I have trouble arguing with the merits of that, I strongly suggest you find someone else to entertain you next time.

[ned-piemaker.livejournal.com]

One key lime pie, coming up.

Uh, not really? It depends. What would I be building?

[lady-bounty.livejournal.com]

Thanks~! You're a dear.

Well, I've been thinking of putting in one of those old-fashioned wood-fired iron stoves, since it's so freaking cold here... but the building's not set up for it, so I'd need some sort of chimney going out the window....

[ned-piemaker.livejournal.com]

Don't mention it.

I never took shop class so I don't know how much help I'd be, but I can try?

[lady-bounty.livejournal.com]

Great, thanks~! You can't possibly be worse at it than me, so. ...Why don't I requisition the supplies, and you can take care of it when you bring the pie over~?

[ned-piemaker.livejournal.com]

......uh, OK. Sure. If you think that's best.

[lady-bounty.livejournal.com]

...Do you have a better idea?

[ned-piemaker.livejournal.com]

Isn't there anyone in the compound who IS good at building things you could ask? I'm not complaining, but I mean, I won't even know where to start.

[lady-bounty.livejournal.com]

...Well, sure, but they've probably got more important things to do and I'd rather not owe them anything. ...Don't sweat it, piemaker, I'm not thinking of anything complicated, just pieces that can be tossed together with a bit of heavy-duty aluminum foil and a nail-gun.

But if you don't think you can do it, I suppose I can ask someone else....

[ned-piemaker.livejournal.com]

No, no, I'll do it. I'll- right. I'll be right over.

[lady-bounty.livejournal.com]

Pie first. ...Thanks, Ned~!
