[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!))

[and somewhere, ~the sun starts to rise~]

[iseeyouflaming]

[if this were a movie, now would be our cue to smooch]

[but it's not and feelings are still happening, so let's sit down by the pond instead]

[(still holding hands)]

[capthlock_rage]

[sits with Jet, just watching the turtleducks paddle around. he's his real age again, and the rest of the garden is blurry and unfocused, but it's there]

[good god these little guys are so tiny]

[capthlock_rage]

[breaks a loaf of imaginary bread in half and hands some to Jet. because it's Zuko's mind, they probably think Jet is their mother.]

Here.

[<-- MILF?]

[breaks off little bits and- wow, they'll eat it right off my fingers]

[capthlock_rage]

[and suddenly, Zuko's head is in your lap]

[iseeyouflaming]
