[ zuko will get a text telling him to go outside.

unsurprisingly, he will see tiger walking to them. they are looking at their phs... smh at texting and walking. ]

[cuedoves]

[ wow.. texting and walking... ive never done that before. ]

... Hey. I have a lot of things I need to ask you.

[retellers]

It must be a day that ends in Y.

[ they look up. ]

What is it?

[cuedoves]

You're the one who said I should keep doing this.

[ no tiger just said he can complain bc he's always asking questions ]

Did you get back any other memories? Not just... uh... personal, but about the Realm?

[retellers]

Hm, maybe.

Curious?

[cuedoves]

I really need to know. Not... your personal stuff.... but you can tell me that too, but the stuff about the Realm. And if you got a new memory from Emet-Selch killing.

[retellers]

[ ... ]

The whole splintering thing is real, I think.

[cuedoves]

[ he is just looking at tiger and waiting for them to continue ]

[retellers]

[ they say nothing else goodbye zuko





no jk. ]

There's no way to save them besides killing them once they get to that point. You guys will fuck us all over if you don't.

[cuedoves]

[ ill kill you ]

[ he already has 2830283092 other things to ask please take mercy ]

.... Yeah. I know that. Why do you think I offered to be the one to step up? [ gosh, tiger. ] It's not like you to beat around the bush.

[ give it to him straight ]

[retellers]

[ they just stare at them. ]

It just looks like the splintering thing happened before--and the people who dealt with it last, they didn't try to fix it.

[ and things went bad. ]

[cuedoves]

... So there were people here before.....

[ wow he got one thing right. ]

So they all just.... died?

[retellers]

Mm, more or less. Majorly fucked over.

... so let's try to avoid that.

[cuedoves]

We're doing pretty okay on that front, aren't we?

[retellers]

For now, yeah. We're lucky that the Leaders who did it already went to people who were willing to believe them.

[cuedoves]

You still haven't noticed any splintering yourself, have you?

[ ... ]

And... do you remember anything else about the previous leaders?

[retellers]

Mm, not yet...

And no. Nothing.

[cuedoves]

Would you be able to tell if... one of our team does?

[ rubs his head. ]

I thought one of our teammates killing would bring back your memory, but... our PHSes didn't flash. And you only got the one, didn't you?

[retellers]

... I should. When Emet-Selch did it, I woke up knowing he killed. I just didn't know what actually happened.

[ since they were sneep....

but they're quiet for a second, before they sigh. ]

No, I remembered something else on top of it. I just didn't want to talk about the other thing.

[ but they were fine with talking about dying apparently ]

[cuedoves]

Good to know, I guess. Are you allowed to tell me when it happens? I wouldn't... do anything crazy about it.

[ as tiger probably knows from the two killers he does know. ]

[ a beat, because he doesn't know how personal this is. ]

You sure you don't want to talk about it? Maybe it can help... to talk about it with someone. And then we can set things on fire again.

[retellers]

No, I can mention it. It just wouldn't be til the Sunday.

[ since the npcs don't answer calls after murder...

there is an awkward pause. ]

Are you my therapist?

[cuedoves]

Okay. If it happens, tell me.

...

[ apparently therapy does exist in avatar but only for comedy ]

No. But I'm your friend. .... Aren't I?

[ gay. ]

[retellers]

[ i can't fucking believe he used the f word ]

Mm... I remembered my dad killing my mom. You know, just family things.

[cuedoves]

[ deal with it ]

... I'm sorry. My family is like that too.

[ it is just family things ]

[retellers]

Oh, shitty?

[ that's a mood. ]
