[jetset]

[ so, jet is out at the duck pond with dro. not that weird, right?

well, except for what he's doing, at the moment.

there's a life-sized mannequin of a person in a fire nation uniform floating out in the pond. upon closer inspection, one will see that it is the very image and likeness of a certain stupid scarface prince. jet is very determinedly trying to sink it. he has tied rocks to it, and he is also dropping heavy stones onto it, but. it keeps resurfacing. what's more, every time a stone hits it, a certain voice floats out of the chest area, saying things like:

"MY FATHER TAUGHT ME A PERMANENT LESSON! ON MY FACE!"

and

"Thith is therious guyth!"

looks like jet got his present from the castle.

so, you're welcome to hear those splashing sounds as jet dictates angrily: ]

The journals being wiped clean is one thing, but finding this thing in my closet? What the hell is going on?

[ ooc; things that plurk made me do™ ]

I was giving you the benefit of the doubt. How many other sane people do you see trying to drown effigies of Zuko?

[jetset]

Well, I don't know how many sane people would want to keep something like this around. [ he squints at her ] Don't tell me you would.

[ he is irrationally irritated by how many people seem to know and like this idiot. ]

[sexyhitchhiker]

No, that's just creepy and stalker-like.

[a pointed look] So what, are you a disillusioned fanboy of his or something?

[jetset]

[ disillusioned fanboy actually sums it up pretty perfectly, but jet doesn't think so, of course. he just scowls. ]

No. I'm just a guy who's got a problem with firebenders, princes and liars, and this guy is all of that wrapped up into one.

[sexyhitchhiker]

[...]

And you've got a life-size model of him because...?

[jetset]

Because whoever runs this place has the worst sense of humour I've ever been unlucky enough to come across. [ scowl scowl scowl. ]

Maybe if I give it to someone else it'll stop following me around. Want it?

[sexyhitchhiker]

[that gets you an amused smile]

Hell no. Dealing with the real Zuko is more than enough.

[jetset]

[ he tosses another rock at zuko. this has, consciously or not, stopped being about trying to sink the thing, and just tossing stuff at zuko because he can. ]

Then why do you do it? I'm sure you could find other ways to spend your time.

[sexyhitchhiker]

[a shrug]

He's my friend.

[jetset]

[ he arches a brow. ]

I'll try not to judge you for taste.

[sexyhitchhiker]

That implies that I care what you think.

[jetset]

I'm not asking you to care. You'll find out what you need to know eventually.
