#and paperwork

[spiralling-spires]

Oh god. What if, post-eyepocalypse, a common interview question becomes “what domain were you in”. Like, all interviews, not just Eye ones. Interview tips and tricks pages have a section on “how to make your fear domain sound hireable”. It just becomes the new “describe a time when you had to resolve a conflict” question. Something something “if they were covered in bugs then they’re more reliable than if they were trapped in endless paperwork hell” something “fear of animal things is more desirable than fear of capitalism because animal fears can be logicked away and i dont want to acknowledge that i, as their boss, might be part of the problem” something human superiority something purity something. And now im thinking about dating profiles having a “Fears: ” section. Post-eyepocalypse earth is still awful and capitalist but now everyone has ptsd and have to talk about it constantly to get like a job. But also lie a little because job interviews and dating profiles are like that for some reason

You said you would execute them as fast as possible right?

But how fast do you think it should be until you execute them?

I’d have to do it either next week or tomorrow. I’m very busy with finding the Meme Squad’s location again.

Has Ozai ever partaken in the Gladiator league, or contemplated doing so? What kind of Gladiator would he pick if he decided to do so now? I feel as if his choice might change depending on when in the story this hypothetical would take place seeing as his observations of Sokka and his daughter might cause him to choose a non-bender if only for the novelty, whereas early fic Ozai would pick a strong Firebender. I know Ozai think all that stuff beneath him, but I'm still curious.

Well, he hasn’t contemplated it so far, but I contemplated it for him ages ago (?) His ideal gladiator would’ve been Seethus, of course :’) perfect partner for him.

I can answer this so promptly because I pondered, some time ago, featuring a single-day tournament, an event held once the Gladiator League reached its 10th anniversary (in-story). It’d have taken place in the Palace’s Agni Kai Arena, promoted by Ozai, who would have had a gladiator for a day just to partake in this celebration. Buuuut... while as a concept it sounded good, the logic of it never really clicked in my head. The plan was for Seethus to masquerade as a non-bending fighter, and for Sokka to defeat him in the final fight (leading to further nasty side-eyes from General Shaofeng at Azula). But I couldn’t really make it fit in the story without forcing it, it wasn’t really going to offer us anything important as far as characterization or plot went... it was, in the end, just a distracting possibility that wasn’t going to move the story along in any direction it’s not already moving towards. So that’s one story arc idea that’s been removed from the fic’s plotline altogether.

So... yeah. Curiously, your guess wasn’t that far from the idea I had back then, though Seethus isn’t really a non-bender but I still wanted him to pass as one xD And yeah, I’d imagine Ozai wouldn’t have thought twice about getting a superpowered firebender to tear everyone a new one if he were in the ranking since the story began. He probably would be sponsoring Combustion Man himself, if he cared to.
