Comfort zones are so overrated!

Who: Dave, Lithuania, Poland, Sokka, Kurt, and Zuko.
Where: Their room, the halls, or even the hot springs.

Rating: PG+ [Will update if needed.]
Summary: SHENANIGANS. Alternate titles include: In Which Everyone is a Third Wheel and Dies Inside, That One Event no one Ever Spoke of Again, and In Which Zuko Throws Bitchfits At Basically Everyone.
The Story:

You may find yourself wondering why you suddenly are in a yukata. You might want to turn your attention to your sudden roomies first, though. Some major shenanigans are about to go down. Brace yourself. This is gonna be a bumpy ride.

...Hold on, we need some theme music for this.

"" (Watch on YouTube)

There we go.

[OOC: Okay. Each character should have their own thread to keep this from being completely chaotic!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

About the event? What about it? There's really not much to comment on. It's a different place, a little bit more familiar looking than the huge mansion, but otherwise not a big deal. There's nothing trying to kill him.

"It's..uh..okay."

Yeah, he's in full swing awkward. Full retard awkward mode.

...Oh, spirits. Uh. Okay, okay. You can do this, Sokka. Just keep on talking.

"I'm...glad I ran into you? Because we should...be on guard and probably stick together in case something happens and all?"

Those statements shouldn't have come out as questions, but he's still floundering here.

He starts fidgeting and looking at his hands.

"..Yeah, we should."

It is for their own good, right? Staying together is better. Safety in numbers and all that. He lets the conversation fall flat again, saying nothing more while he fidgets.

Hey, what would be safer? Being in their room or...where? Well, they have roomies... Er.

"Because you dying again wouldn't be a good thing."

...Er.

"I mean, of course it wouldn't, but us sticking together would help!"

Yeah, that sounds better.

Oh, hey, it's that one guy with the sheep and the other guy who tried to burn the mansion down. Wow, he really wants to talk to Sheep Boy today. Dave decides to do just that. Also, bonus, he recognizes them as his roomies. He plays it cool as he approaches them.

Yeah, fuck you, Mr. Catches the Goddamn Oven on Fire, he wants to talk.

"Sup, roomies."

Bow down before your new conversation king, bitches.

Who's that? Oh yeah, it's the kid he's sharing his room with. Zuko doesn't really know Dave though, despite them staying together.

"Hi.."

His voice is a bit irate and the greeting almost sounds like a question. Dave just butt right into the conversation rudely. Normally he wouldn't be so irate, but he just broke into a conversation between him and Sokka during a rather sensitive event.

Whoa, hello interrupted conversation. Luckily, he doesn't have it bad yet, so the interruption doesn't hit him the same way. This isn't like Katara interrupting him talking to Yue.

"Hi."

Thus, his greeting is just casual at best. And he recognizes that the kid's one of their roomies...and that he has red eyes.

"...Huh. I never thought people could have red eyes."

Whoops. What is tact?

He gives no fucks in interrupting their "totally important" conversation. None at all.

Apparently, tact is a myth in Sheep Boy's world.

"Most people with red eyes are albino," he replies neutrally, "Guess I'm just really fuckin' special."

Not.

"Name's Dave Strider."

Zuko doesn't even care that Dave's eyes are red. He's seen so much weird shit here that simple things like that don't even phase him anymore. Dave saying that he thinks he's really special does, though. Zuko takes it one hundred percent seriously. Dave is now a cocky bastard in Zuko's mind. He can't hold back a brief, "Pft..I'll bet."

Fortunately for Sokka, he can smell sarcasm from a mile away.

"Yeah, but you know what's really special? A flying bison! Or, oh, how about people with magical bending powers? Oh, and don't mind this guy here. He's always like this."

He slings his arm around Zuko's shoulders as he talks. Oh, this is just like the event with the sheep. He doesn't even remember the fact that he'd never be affectionate with Zuko on a normal basis.

"Oh, and speaking of bending powers, this guy can shoot fire everywhere! So, yeah, compared to that, your red eyes? They're not that special, trust me. Oh, and I'm Sokka. It's nice to meet ya."

Edited 2011-11-28 00:49 (UTC)

Oh, thank Jesus, Sokka is sarcastic. He shrugs.

"I dunno, doesn't sound like much compared to escapin' your planet's destruction, and participatin' in a convoluted chess game that would decide the fate of a new world's creation. But at least red eyes isn't the weirdest thing in the world now that we got all of that straight."

Yes, they will get along just fine.

"And does your fire throwin' friend have a name or should I just call him somethin' else?"

Zuko gets flustered when Sokka grabs onto him like that. He blushes deeply and even leans away a little bit out of pure awkwardness. All that is replaced by anger after Sokka says he's "always" this way. He yanks away from the water tribe teen's affections.

"What're you talking about?! Always like what?!" He snaps, a light flush still under his eyes. Just as bitter, he turns back to Dave.

"It's Zuko."

Sokka snorts. Hey, this guy isn't half bad! You've gotta appreciate someone else's sarcasm.

"Oh, yeah? You know what's even better? Running off with your sister to help a guy who's been reincarnated a million times who needs to solve the world's problems! Oh, or being cha--"

...Whoops. He trails off when Zuko pulls away. Wait, what did he do?

"You know!"

He might pause for a moment to figure out why he doesn't want to intentionally insult Zuko, but event. The event is why. All he knows is, he doesn't want Zuko storming off.

"Just, all...flustered and everything. You have to admit you get like that at times!"

...That's as insulting as he can be during the event. Whoops.

"Bein' chased around seems to be a similarity we can bond to. We seem to attract the all-powerful, immortal goddamn psychos that likes to go on killin' sprees."

Nope, Dave isn't getting into that fight. He'll just cross his arms and wait it out.

Sokka had to bring up the chased around thing, didn't he? He shoots Sokka a glare right as he says that cut off word.

"I do not!"

He's ignoring Dave now. Dave just happens to be an innocent bystander to Zuko rage.

Oh, this guy's good.

"Pfft. Yeah. All we had was this horrible emperor and-...Oh, crap."

YOU SHOULD UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES EVER MENTION THE FIRE NATION AROUND ZUKO.

"I didn't mean--"

WAY TO GO, SOKKA.

"Wait, I didn't mean that you one of them! I mean, you're totally awesome with the swordbending and stuff!"

Edited 2011-11-28 02:00 (UTC)

Yep, Dave is definitely staying the fuck away from this argument. Excuse him as he goes to lean against the wall opposite them both, wanting to not be in the way. Yep. This is a good idea.

Glare.

He's talking about him, isn't he? Zuko takes it like that. His voice raises again, much louder. The fucking fury has been unleashed.

"And who?!"

..Wow, there's an unexpected amount of hurt in his eyes. He looks insulted under all that rage. To be lumped in with his father? Now that is an insult.

"The person who sacrificed his life two events ago so you and your sister could get away?!"

And for the first time since Dave interrupted them, his whole attention shifts to Zuko. Well, wasn't that what Zuko wanted? There was no pleasing this guy!

"And your crazy sister! I meant your crazy sister!"

ZUKO, THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME HE'S SAID THAT HE THINKS YOU'RE OKAY. Apparently the third time was not the charm. Is Zuko even listening to him right now?!

"How many times do I have to tell you that I know you're on our side now?! I tried helping you and Katara patch things up the last event! What more do I have to do?!"

"No you didn't! Why would you stop talking if you meant Azula?!"

He is stark raving mad. Right up in Sokka's face. This hurts, really. It's painful to have Sokka say something about him like that, and he doesn't know why it hurts so bad. He covers his hurt with more anger.

AND NOW PRESENTING THE WINNER OF THE MOST PARANOID PERSON IN WONDERLAND AWARD, ZUKO. GIVE HIM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE, EVERYONE.

"Because I realized I shouldn't have mentioned your dad! That's it!"

What can he even say to that?

"Are you even listening to me?!"

Edited 2011-11-28 03:09 (UTC)

"So what if you mentioned my father? I know he's a horrible emperor and a horrible father! I was working with you to overthrow him, remember?!"

He just shakes his head. Zuko turns. He just..wants to get out of here. He really does.

One Auspistice coming right up, good sirs.

Dave is getting the feeling that if he doesn't step in soon, things will end really fucking badly. He just won't take any steps closer to them.

"Whoa, guys, chill. Let's step back and fuckin' calm down a bit."

Edited 2011-11-28 03:30 (UTC)

"How am I supposed to chill when he's not listening to a word I'm saying?! I told him a million times before that I know he's okay! I don't think he's even heard a word I'm saying!"

Ugh, this has to be giving the worst impression, but all Sokka can think about right now is Zuko, Zuko, Zuko. Zuko, calm down already! Zuko, listen to him for once! Zuko, Zuko, Zuko!

"I am too listening to what you're saying!"

Yelling, always with the yelling. Zuko snaps back at him with ferocity. Is this how you tell someone you like them? Oh, he has a thing with arguing with even people he likes. Zuko is just so volatile sometimes that even people he cares about can set him off like a rocket.
