[EVENT] A NEW WORLD ORDER

Characters: ALL!
Date: December 8, 2015 (with some starters for the following weeks)
Location: Keeliai, the Midnight Hotel, others
Situation: The Foreigners have awakened.
Warnings/Rating: Add warnings as needed.

They've been in the Dreaming for so long that when they wake up their bodies feel more like automatons, alien and ill-fitting. They haven’t atrophied, thanks to Milyn, but they’re stiff and a little bedsore, and the solidity of the Life Plane is jarring. Here, the surroundings don’t move on a whim. Here the world is more stable, almost harsh and unyielding in spite of the homey surrounds.

It’s been a year, says the clock on the mantle and on the second floor. Says Milyn, too, when she’s able to stop hugging them long enough to speak.

Nothing much has changed in the Midnight Hotel. There are dishes out of place, objects belonging to either Milyn or Eva in evidence, the diorama exactly where it had been but now brightly-painted thanks to Milyn's boredom. Milyn and Eva took a room each, in the time the Foreigners were sleeping, though neither used them much.

Eva’s upstairs, Milyn will tell anyone who asks. In her room.

Eva hasn't left that room in three days. She hasn't spoken in three days, either, or walked, or moved, or breathed. Her effects are neatly arranged around her bed, and the sheet has been pulled up. There is heavy incense in the room and Milyn has managed to preserve the body enough to remove the risk of too much mess (and other things). In a way, that makes it worse: as though Eva is sleeping. It’s difficult to tell whether Milyn is in denial or whether spending three days with no one to talk to other than sleeping Foreigners and a corpse has had its influence.

[It was all coming back now, almost as clearly as it had been before. The feel of Wan's lips and the prickle of his beard against his chin was very familiar. So unlike Mai, and yet better in some ways.

Wan's hesitance was noticed, but it was okay. It had been a long time, especially for Wan. He could tell that the Avatar wasn't quite the same person he had been before. Things had changed, and it was obvious that Wan had been through a lot. Zuko at that moment determinded that he would do what he could for Wan, to take care of him, just like he had done for him before.

Pulling back, Zuko looked at Wan with another reassuring smile.]


I love you.

[He said this without any doubt in his voice.]

[To Wan's credit, when Zuko pulled back, he tried to follow and leaned in further before it clicked that Zuko was purposely putting space between them. At the words, he smiled. Soft, sad, weighted down, but happy, too. Wan's head came down and he rested it in crook of Zuko's shoulder as he moved his hand to slip around behind and play with the hair at the nape of Zuko's neck. A deep breath was taken. Then another.

He found his peace.]


I love you, too.
