007 § Accidental Video § Appa

[When the feed first comes on, all that can be heard are Appa's annoyed bison bleats. He's sick of the rain, sick of the water, sick of his grass being drowned.]

I know, I know!

[The PCD is a bit away from them, carefully tucked into Aang's shirt, which he's tied up on a low branch to keep the PCD as dry as he can.]

[Aang studies the area Appa stays in and earthbends an Appa-sized square of it a bit above the water level.He thinks for a moment and earthbends two more segments up, at angles to make a sort of earthen tent. He knows it won't last until Sunday, but it'll work for now!]

[Appa bleats at him, annoyed, but gets into his little tent. And then bleats at him again. He's still soaked here!]

Yeah, I know!

[Aang hops up into Appa's little tent and thinks for a minute. Appa's probably chilly, too! He makes an airball in his hands and works at it with firebending. It bursts into a pretty whoosh of fire and he tries again. Once he's gotten so the air is nicely warm but not going whoosh into fire, he expands it and throws it at Appa. It takes a few minutes to get the very soaked skybison dry and warm but it works!]

[He hops down and fetches his shirt and the PCD without realizing it's on and goes back to sitting with Appa.]

At least it's not like the storm we almost drowned in!

[Appa gives him another annoyed bleat. Stupid rain.]

[Appa is unconcerned about being touched.]

There used to be more of them in my world. They're the original airbenders.

You learned the power from them. [How strange, and curious. Raphael raises a hand to Appa's face, waiting a few seconds to let him adjust before resting it on his cheek gently.] He's too old for his age.

[A sideways glance.] So are you.

[identity profile] aangin-loose.livejournal.com 2011-06-30 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Aang laughs.] Yup! He's 107 and I'm 113! We sorta got frozen in an iceberg for a hundred years.
expunger: (heal or cure)

And you still live? [She turns her face back to Appa and takes a hand off his cheek, offering him an unrealistically large apple that didn't exist five seconds ago.]

[identity profile] aangin-loose.livejournal.com 2011-07-01 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Appa loves you, Raphael! And he's going to devour this apple now!]

Yup. I went into the Avatar state and made the iceberg. [And that's totally normal! Really!] That's so neat! How'd you make that apple appear?
expunger: (of Him who lives and reigns)

I have smote entire cities into rubble and rained fire from the very heavens. [Here Appa have a pear] Conjuring fruit is hardly difficult.

[identity profile] aangin-loose.livejournal.com 2011-07-02 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow. [Aang is genuinely impressed by the fruit appearing.]

[Appa is all too happy to have a pear!]

How come you've smote cities before?

[personal profile] expunger 2011-07-04 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
God commanded it. [Just feeding your bison a pear and scratching his nose, nbd.]
expunger: (who stand before the throne)

[personal profile] expunger 2011-07-05 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Not a god, but God. The only God.

The city was sinful, and deserved punishment.

[Aang raises a brow at that, but doesn't push it. He's never heard of just one god, but his beliefs aren't centered around a god.]

Why not just teach them and show them better? Why destroy them?
expunger: (guide to those)

[personal profile] expunger 2011-07-05 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
It was not my command, Avatar. Simply my duty to carry out. [Raphael scritches gently at Appa's cheek while feeding him grapes.]

[identity profile] aangin-loose.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
But why didn't that god show them mercy?
expunger: (Default)

[personal profile] expunger 2011-07-05 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
He did. He let some of them live.

[identity profile] aangin-loose.livejournal.com 2011-07-06 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
[This is not Aang's idea of mercy.] Oh...

His will and wrath are absolute, Avatar, but so is His love.

[identity profile] aangin-loose.livejournal.com 2011-07-07 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
[That loses him even more, because if his love was absolute, wouldn't he forgive those people?]

[Total change of topic now! Because Aang doesn't want to insult Raphael just because he doesn't understand his friend's beliefs.] I think Appa really liked the grapes.

[personal profile] expunger 2011-07-07 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
[That's okay, Aang. Nobody understands the imperatives of Heaven, and she's long since accepted the faithlessness of humanity.]

He did. Are there fruits from your world you cannot find here?

[identity profile] aangin-loose.livejournal.com 2011-07-07 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, lots of them. It's hard to find fruit here sometimes.

[identity profile] aangin-loose.livejournal.com 2011-07-07 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
Apples, and star fruit, and pears.
expunger: (of wisdom and grace)

[personal profile] expunger 2011-07-07 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Silly humans.]

Those are common fruits on my planet. [Have the biggest star fruit ever, Appa.]

[identity profile] aangin-loose.livejournal.com 2011-07-07 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Appa's eyes get wiiide and he munches on it.]

You're really nice, Raphael.
