[lordhotman]

Situation: Zuko is missing Wan again and looking for Aang's soul gem.
Warnings/Rating: None

[Closed to Gene]
This was not good. One of his best friends had his soul gem stolen, and he didn't have the first clue on where to look for it. Sure he had already scoped out the place where Aang said he'd been attacked, but he didn't really find anything there.

So now Zuko is roaming the streets, looking for any clue as to the whereabouts of that soul gem. And without much luck. Druk is following along, walking at Zuko's side and now big enough to keep up with him. The dragon still earns him a few glances, and a few Kedan keeping their distance, but no one says anything about it. Any potential muggers will probably think twice about attacking him with a dragon at his side.

[Open to all]
It's been no secret that Wan has been gone, having gone out camping to be alone. Plus its no secret that Zuko is not exactly happy about it. First the quarantine, and now this. No, he doesn't blame his boyfriend for wanting some time alone, but that doesn't mean he has to like it. In otherwords, he's lonely, and could probably use some companionship.

He did promise to look after the gardens during construction, which he is. During the day when construction is happening, he can usually be found there. He had also promised to keep an eye on Valdis, so will be visiting her from time to time. Other than that, he's mostly just by himself, unless someone decides to give him some company.

You see what he has to work with Gene? This is why it isn't going so well. But Zuko does look a little relieved at the offered help. Two heads are better than one after all.

"I don't know either. Unless they're wanting to kill him."

Which... could be possible.

"But then she could have easily done that when he was paralyzed."

So that doesn't really make any sense either.

"There's been a rash of these muggings, all popping up very suddenly. But for what purpose?" He frowns. "Someone's behind this, something has to be the driving force. We'll find the gem, and then we can get to the bottom of this."

Sure, he's still mad at Akito, but that isn't going to stop him from finding things out.

"Yeah, but who? Aang also said the woman said she was sorry. So there might be someone who is forcing people to do this."

That sort of thing wasn't unheard of after all.

"But where do we look? It could be anywhere!"

"First things first," Gene says. "We find the soul gem. Then we find the woman, and work up the chain from there." He taps a finger to his cheek, thinking. "It might not get us very far; if whoever did this is sophisticated enough to use that kind of magic, they might have a sophisticated chain of command. These attackers might not have an easily-trackable central command. They could be in cells, getting their orders some secret way."

He shakes his head. "Anyway - that's immaterial right now. Where was he in the Earth Sector? Did he say?"
