[ it's on the eve of the twentieth zuko chooses to broadcast a message that isn't him getting hit by a boulder. some may be able to glean he's within la llorona, leaning against a particularly angry tree. but none can see its face, for zuko's taking up a good portion of the frame. he's very much a wallflower, preferring to slink off into the shadows unnoticed, but he's fire lord zuko here, not dumb and completely pathetic he might as well rename himself lilly liver zuko. a part of him wishes to honour the quendi as he had done the sun warriors, keeping them shielded in secrecy lest anyone attempt to wage war upon them. but something already has — he can't simply sit by a tree and remain silent. ]

— Uh.

[ okay, his locket is going to behave. ]

Hello. Zuko here.

[ he attempts to think of the best way to approach this, but he's always gone for honesty. as a thirteen year-old, he'd stood up to bluntly defy what had ultimately been his father's orders, refusing to remain silent or even meek before the generals. this is no different, not when a small village has placed their trust within him. ]

La Llorona isn't safe. An evil spirit has been slaying anyone who happens to be near the city of Quendi — it's on your map if you look at it, a little further than where you'll find the La Llorona Ring if you're really blind and walk right by it. If you must travel between rings, go to the one at Redgate or don't travel at all.

[ or simply page 1800-zuko and he'll teleport you anywhere you wish to go. but zuko simply doesn't want anyone else to fall prey to the spirit, not after he'd seen the grief in the eyes of some of the villagers who had lost friends and family to it. ]

Please be careful. And don't do anything stupid.

[ his voice is as hard as his gaze. if anyone is like him, they'll take that as an invitation to be stupid. hence: ]

If you try anything, I want to know.

[ and is that the tone of a fire lord that shouldn't be ignored? why, yes it is. ]

[ he hangs up abruptly, but seconds later, the video flicks on to zuko looking to the side, capturing a nice profile of the good side of his face. his voice is hushed, but firm, as he looks to the locket, beseeching anyone who may have lingered this long after his warning. ]

If anyone can help — Call me. I have a friend who can find it.

[ ho, ho, ho. project blue spirit fugitive is a go! ]
