Though my HMD post is just linked in all my character journal's profiles, I think Byakuren kind of warrants a special one.

See, a major part of her character is being a devout Buddhist, which I am not! I've researched it somewhat to play her and I go do some more every time I have a question, and in general I try to kind of downplay her dealing ( Read more... )

Time already, I see. What fleeting forms of life... I don't think it's going to snow here often, so I could plant some evergreens... no, this will do. It hasn't been making it easier to calm myself, at any rate. Aren't I silly, looking for a distraction like this...

It's been unusally long since I've seen my "daughter..." Our paths don't usually cross too terribly often, but it's been days now. To any of her friends, has Moonchild been staying with you? I really should spend more time at home so I can stay on top of these things.

It seems that what's happened to Zuko is permanent. This kind of thing happens frequently, it seems... Could it be that even the "drones" didn't always have such a strange shared personality ( Read more... )

[Musing around off the phone. Feel free to overhear in person.]That could have gone much worse, but somehow what I expected was a more polite refusal. The, er, townspeople seem so happy most of the time, so it was unsettling seeing them glare like that. Especially in a place of worship ( Read more... )

[Action. What's a phone?]

Strange... everything here looks like something you could find in Kourindou. I couldn't be in the outside world, could I?

If anyone's home, I'm sorry for intruding! I'll just let myself out.
