"Twas the lady's quip, forsooth"

[deviant-official]

You don't know which teeeam I'm oooon...

[puzzlemaster-official]

@minstrel-official, hey, just got here, how’s it going, sorry you had to deal with that stupid demon, i just saw him coming from here and into the woods by my house

[minstrel-official]

Ah, yes, I think he said he was going to check on the status of a prank?

[puzzlemaster-official]

who is there to prank in the woods… i heard he hates the recluse, maybe against him

[minstrel-official]

Who did you hear that from?

[puzzlemaster-official]

the recluse, we were talking, and apparently the lleech covered his house in butter, i feel like a demon would have better things to do

[deviant-official]

what... the fuck. That's a waste of butter. the doorknobs, maybe yeah, but the ceiling?

[deviant-official]

Oh, hiii @minstrel-official !! *they're wearing a long red and blue dress. its completely unlike any other clothes you've seen them in.* I'm ready for the parttyyy!

[minstrel-official]

Hey, that's a nice dress!

[deviant-official]

Thanks! It was my mother's

[minstrel-official]

Oh, was your mother also a traveller?

[deviant-official]

No, she was.... much too kind a woman for that.

[deviant-official]

Oh, hiii @minstrel-official !! *they're wearing a long red and blue dress. its completely unlike any other clothes you've seen them in.* I'm ready for the parttyyy!

[minstrel-official]

[notmutant-official]

You need any help setting up for the party?

@deviant-official

I think it has already started.

[deviant-official]

Where is it?

[lleech-official]

oh, @minstrel-official, how rude of me not to say hi to you! how is it going, i would offer you part of my drink but it is sort of poisoned

[deviant-official]

Can I have some?

[lleech-official]

like, replicate it without the poison, or do you just want this one…???

[deviant-official]

No time. *i take the glass from their hand, swallow it all in one gulp, before throwing up and passing the glass back to Lleech.* Nope, yup, I'm good. I just wanted to make sure I didn't ingest any of the stuff Mez and Cerenovus are playing around with.

[lleech-official]

well, i can confirm this is exclusively poisoned by me… but ok…

it’s getting kind of difficult to keep this form anyway, the secrets out, i may as well stop bluffing

(the lleech morphs into their demonic form, face lifting like a mask to reveal one massive mouth with rows upon rows of teeth, stringy long gray hair on its head, and four tentacles on its back, but still wearing the princess dress from moments earlier)

(it takes the glass, tosses it into its mouth and just crunches for a painfully long time)

i’ve never been able to try that without getting immediate suspicion on me, not as tasty as they look

[deviant-official]

I wouldn't think so, no. Personally, I find stuff made of chalk to look rather candy-like.

[lleech-official]

oh, @minstrel-official, how rude of me not to say hi to you! how is it going, i would offer you part of my drink but it is sort of poisoned

A train (from Old French trahiner, from Latin trahere, "to pull, to draw")[1] is a series of connected vehicles that run along a railway track and transport people or freight. Trains are typically pulled or pushed by locomotives (often known simply as "engines"), though some are self-propelled, such as multiple units or railcars. Passengers and cargo are carried in railroad cars, also known as wagons or carriages. Trains are designed to a certain gauge, or distance between rails. Most trains operate on steel tracks with steel wheels, the low friction of which makes them more efficient than other forms of transport. Many countries use rail transport.

[deviant-official]

You know anything about traction engines?

[innkeeper-official]

*they come into the inn when Innkeeper and Lleech are, grumbling under their breath.* I tried to get Mezephelez to tell me their word but they think I'm good.

@deviant-official

…Fine. I’ll… It starts with “flab.” Not a lot of words that start with that, but… saying all of it would mean I turn evil.

[deviant-official]

uhh, flabuous, flabotonist, flabby... nope, coming up blank with literally any words starting with 'flab'

[innkeeper-official]

flabber… still can’t stay more.

[deviant-official]

Oooh, right, I see.

What on earth is up with Lleech?

@deviant-official

I'm not sure. It seems to have switched tactics, but on the bright side, it does seem to be succeeding in drawing attention away from its host.

[deviant-official]

They're just going around in a dress (no offense meant but its odd) and pretending to be a Fang Gu?? To what purpose? That's weird behaviour even by my standards.

[mezepheles-official]

They weren't claiming Fang-Gu to me... it's possible they just don't trust you.

[deviant-official]

They could be drunk or poisoned? Oh yeah, what's your word, by the way. I overheard Inkeeper talking about it and I want to make sure I don't accidentally say it.

(a young woman in a frilly poofy dress and a tiara (do you know the scratch princess sprite, thats how i imagine her 😭) walks up to the deviant)

Hello, im kind of bored right now, and just finished playing chess with minstrel, do you want to talk?

@lleech-official

Oh, hey! Who are you? I can normally recognize people well, but your identity escapes me...

[lleech-official]

well this is gonna be awkward to explain… take a guess…

[deviant-official]

Uuuh... Damsel? That's the best I can do. Usually people have some kind of tell, but you just don't have anything.

[lleech-official]

you ever seen a demon?

[deviant-official]

Pfffh. Yeah, tons. They ain't got nothing on me. And they are, without fail, some of the worst disguisers of their tell. ever.

[lleech-official]

did you realize i was one the while time...?

[deviant-official]

*they tilt their head.* Oh, yeah, I knew you were the Lleech. I was just testing you.

[lleech-official]

fang gu, nice to meet you

(they extend their hand out)

[deviant-official]

*they shake it with a wink.* uh-huh. I'll keep an eye out for outsiders, then.

[kyoshi-lesbians]

my controversial opinion is I don’t think Zuko was confused by “my first girlfriend turned into the moon”

[kyoshi-lesbians]

he was there during siege of the North. he infiltrated the spirit oasis. he has an uncle who studies spirits and the spirit world. he watched the sky go dark then the moon suddenly reappear like everyone else in the entire world did. and most importantly he watched zhao get eaten by a giant godzilla fish spirit.

[kyoshi-lesbians]

his entire life since he saw that beam of blue-white light in the south pole has been ‘this day has already been so goddamn weird’

[edgar-allan-possum]

The only really new information was that that was Sokka’s girlfriend

[library-graffiti]

Important opinion in the tags that I need to have be part of the post:

[clearascountryair]

Also, Iroh was there? He literally watched Sokka make out with the moon spirit. And you want to tell me that a romantic sap like him would not have immediately told Zuko about this romantic tragedy? Please, Zuko has known about this for ages, he just knows that this is not an acceptable situation in which to say “yeah, I know.”

[terriwriting]

Sokka: “My girlfriend turned into the moon.”

Zuko: “I know.” “Yes.” “She sure did.” “Uh huh.” “Tell me something new.” “Are we still talking about that?” “That’s rough, buddy.”

[alexseanchai]

[image: tags by samwisethebold: #it’s not that he doesn’t get what sokka means #it’s that how on earth do you respond to that]

[uberguber89]

When you put it like that, this is actually a legendary display of tact on Zuko’s part
