[SUBCONSCIOUS POST!]

[capthlock_rage]

[in a field lit by the rays of the sunset, beneath a rainbow, there is a signpost. The signs are attached haphazardly, and none are identical. Some are ornate, and some in shambles, but all of them point in different directions. If you look closer to read the words, you'll see not only places, but names, dates, intangible concepts... you name it, it's there.]

[at the foot of the signpost sits Prince Zuko, working intently on what appears to be an in-progress cross-stitch that reads: "HONOR, SWEET HONOR." A tiny raincloud hovers right above his head, drizzling on him. If you squint, it appears to have a face.]


((OOC: Because I missed the subconscious post, but still wanted to play. This is open to anyone!))

[I'll just keep hugging you until you're all talked out]

[capthlock_rage]

I know it's a lie, just some stupid story you'd tell a kid, things don't work like that...

[everything's starting to go dark around them]

[iseeyouflaming]

[that's cool, I can deal. maybe then I won't have to see whatever faces show up on whatever weather.]

[capthlock_rage]

You need to go.

[iseeyouflaming]

What? Why?

[capthlock_rage]

You already ruined it, isn't that enough for you?!

[iseeyouflaming]

I didn't- it's just a fantasy! We can just...we can make a new one!

[capthlock_rage]

It doesn't work like that! I can't just snap my fingers and pretend everything's okay again!

[iseeyouflaming]

I'm not leaving.

[capthlock_rage]

[iseeyouflaming]

[we can just stand here hugging, I'm cool with it]

[capthlock_rage]

[I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO 8(]

[iseeyouflaming]

...sorry I ruined your...future place.

[capthlock_rage]

It was stupid.

[iseeyouflaming]

...it was normal.

[capthlock_rage]

You know that's a lie.

[iseeyouflaming]

No, it's not. Most kids think that kinda stuff about their future, where they'll be and who'll be there, all that.

[capthlock_rage]

[.........kids? D:]

...oh...

[iseeyouflaming]

[WELL WE ARE]

I just...don't really think about that. I just think about us like we are now. I'm the weird one.

[capthlock_rage]

But I upset you. Seeing it upset you.

[iseeyouflaming]

That's not your fault. I'm the one in your mind, remember?
