[One can hear a clipped thump as something hard tumbles and hits the communicator, triggering a video broadcast. Whatever has struck appears to be some sort of dark rock and it completely obstructs the view of the lens. There is very little light eclipsing the edges, but if one looks closely enough they might see that the rock is of igneous

Hello? Can you hear me? You...you must be new? wow bad timing...

-Clears throat-

Um...you're arrived at World's End, and it's...it's not your world. Totally different.

-A link blips on screen, almost begged to be read over-

It's a lot to read, but you should glance at this when you have a moment, and I promise it'll answer a lot of your questions for you.

I'll help too! I mean, right now, no one needs to be alone out there. My name's Aaron....nice to meet you I hope.

[There is a pause as Zuko takes a moment to consider where the voice is coming from. After that blip sounds off, he realizes it's from the communicator he stuffed into his shirt front. He pulls it out and stares down at the screen.]

You really can't expect me to believe that. Tell me, where is Azula?! Where did she go?

[Snappish and impatient... as ever. So much for friendly greetings. Seems he's got one thing on his mind, and that's all.]

[[ Voice ]]

[timid_werewolf]

-surprise-

I...haven't seen anyone named Azula show up...sorry.

[[ Voice ]]

[bending_fire]

[His voice is crisp, clear, and sharp.]

If that changes, see to it that you tell me.

Until then... it's best if I do things my own way. I don't want or need your help.

[Without patience, stubborn, and judging by the quickness of his reply, he's not yet read the information Aaron has provided for him. Chances are he will later, however.]

... someone else who can control fire. [His voice is somewhere between shocked and confused.]

[A growl and then his voice is sarcastic and irritated.]Wonderful.

Voice;

[bending_fire]

[Have a confused and annoyed Zuko.]

I take it that it's you who can bend fire.

Why do you make it sound like there should only be one?

Voice; [... orz. Third time's a charm]

[unfiltrdjustice]

No. That would be Portgas.

Where I come from, manipulation of the elements is only possible if you've eaten a Devil's Fruit. There can only be one person with a certain Fruit power in the world.

Voice; [lol, there~ there]

[bending_fire]

What kind of name is... No, never mind.

Where you come from... well, I'm obviously not from there. And by the sounds of it, I'm glad I'm not.

What about if someone shared the fruit with another person?

[loadedace]

Seems you met the Commodore.

Voice;

[bending_fire]

I'm guessing you mean the guy with smoke for brains. Yeah, I was unfortunate enough to meet him.

Voice;

[loadedace]

Ah, sorry about him. He's a little cranky.

And I see he talked about me. Again, I apologize. Need any help?

Voice;

[bending_fire]

Then you must be Portgas. [Zuko is a little less snappish at the moment because, well, more flies with honey, they say. And Smoker definitely doesn't use honey.]

You shouldn't be made to apologize for him. And no, I don't need help.

[ Voice ]

[crawfordsands]

Yeah. You're stuck. Looks like you've got the whole fuckin' welcome wagon already. Settle in for the long run, cause you're not gettin' out.

[ Voice ]

[bending_fire]

How can you be so sure there's no way out?

[ Voice ]

[crawfordsands]

Spent a month lookin' every fuckin' moment I could.

[ Voice ]

[bending_fire]

And you're willing to just give up?

[bornofthis]

'Civilization' would be a loose term to use, at best.

[bending_fire]

Hm... what's your point?

[bornofthis]

Allow me to explain. This place you have found yourself in is unlike anywhere you may have become accustomed to. You will find no brimstone, but it has, more than once, been referred to as Hell. Quite often, actually.

[bending_fire]

What is it exactly, then?
