Make sure you get my good side!

[Oda Nobunaga is being filmed by someone else, and as he quickly makes apparent: hunting in the forest.]

Okay! This is Oda Nobunaga, Demon King of the Sixth Heaven. [He'll get tired of that mouthful... eventually.] Hijikata-sama is busy doing super important police work so I got Zuko to provide backup so I can show you proper sumo techniques on a bear fir! Those are trees in the shape of bears. Don't worry, if I get eaten, and can't cut my way free, Zuko will set it on fire, and then we'll show you how to make sure it doesn't spread to the forest!

First you need to lure it! [He has a fish for the bait.] In my time, we would give offerings and sacrifices, but since I want to wrestle one, not appease it--

[He doesn't get to finish the sentence before he gets sideswiped by an irritated bear fir. It was not lured by the fish. It was flushed out by Nobunaga's oni, but who's counting?]

[Nobunaga crashes into a tree, gets the wind knocked out of him... but he's grinning ear to ear.]

[And tackles the bear, trying to wrestle, or ride it, or... who the fuck knows?]

[It's a bit insane. But eventually he winds up inside it and cuts himself free...]

[And looks sorely disappointed.]


Ah... that's it? I didn't get to show anything off... Okay! Let's do the fire anyway! Zuko set me on fire!

[This can only end well.]

[On cue, a small puff of flame appears from the cameraman's unseen hands. The flames are weak. After another, only slightly bigger puff, a grumble can be heard, before one more unsteady, unimpressive lick of flames appears from thin air, followed by a hoarse:]


What the fuck?!

[Muttered under the firebender's breath. Finally, fourth must be the charm... and a gust of fire shoots forth, striking Nobunaga straight-on. Thank goodness the daimyo has healing magic because, uh, Zuko is clearly not fully in control of this fire he's magicking up. And he's very embarrassed to be short on juice on a live public feed. This whole thing isn't going exactly to plan, is it?]

[The grown warlord then holds up a finger, as his cuirass (at least it's not his Japanese armor? Is that better or worse?) smolders and gets hotter!]
This technique isn't taught in my time, but you should all know it!

Stop! Drop! And roll!

[And he demonstrates.]

[The bear fir in the meanwhile has recollected, REFORMED itself... and just decides an idiot on fire is not worth trying to eat again. Good thinking. Off it goes!]

[No idiots were maimed in the making of this video. Don't play with fire. Or bear trees.]
irritated: (and the swift engine puffs along)

She messaged me. About Gokudera.

[Murder came into topic and honestly, Hikaru could do without that subject for a while.]
rediscovering: (try again)

...She messaged you. About Gokudera.

[ He parrots with a steeliness Hikaru's voice certainly lacked, glaring at the phone through slowly narrowing eyes. ]

And what did she have to say about Gokudera?

[ That same steeliness, keeping his tone calm, but clipped. Uh oh. Hikaru, you opening cans of worms... ]
irritated: (it's your turn for the spotlight)

No way. Not getting into sibling drama. Usually family drama can be funny but I feel like I could end up with Azula as an enemy and I'm not doing that.

[Seriously he loves drama and seeing it unfold but in the case of these siblings? No. Azula is crazy, Zuko has baggage, and Hikaru doesn't want to get into the middle of that.

Way to go, Zuko. You found Hikaru's limit.]
rediscovering: (don't want to know)

[personal profile] rediscovering 2021-06-29 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Good call. Since you two are buddies and text each other gossiping now, apparently...

[ Like, seriously, the fuck, since when... He's so confused and ready to be mad but also... Maybe Hikaru and Azula should get on together, it occurs to him? Just. Not about hating Gokudera, he'd prefer. ]
irritated: (that you lied)

I wouldn't go that far. Honestly, no offense, but I could do without another impromptu talk with her.

[Less people who are very casual about murder, thanks.]
rediscovering: (how do social skills)

[personal profile] rediscovering 2021-06-30 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I think that'd be preferable, yes... I'm not gonna mention to her that you told me she reached out to you. Cuz like you said, I don't wanna start shit with her right now, either. But you tell me if she does again. How'd she even get your username?! Ugh...! Probably figured out my phone code...

[ To be fair, it's like. Extremely simple and easy to guess if you're tenacious and clever like Azula. She surely keeps tabs on Zuko's friends while lurking on the network, too. There are so many ways she could have found out how to contact any one of his friends. ...But she also probably figured out his phone code, too. ]
