Hello, hello Trench! If you don't know me, I'm Wu, and I run the Raccoon Room, Trench's exclusive Sleeper performance venue.

[ Wu grins at the camera, talking a bit fast, clearly excited about something. The excitement palpable even through the Omni with his paleblood power projecting his emotions. Fritter the raccoon is perched on his shoulder, holding on to some of his hair as he talks ]

I come to you today with an announcement. A very important announcement! I know a lot of us have baggage we're carrying around from back home, and after a while, you might be like, hey, this isn't super important anymore! And then something happens, and it's suddenly really, really important again.

[ Wu puffs himself up a bit, sitting up straighter, putting his free hand solemnly to his chest. Fritter mimics him, doing the same action with her little paw to her heart ]

So, today, on this, February second, of the Egg Moon in Trench, Deer Country, I, Wu, King of the Earth Kingdom back on my world that doesn't have it's own specific name, I hereby formally abdicate my claim to the Earth Kingdom throne and title.

[ As soon as he's done, the formality breaks and he lets out a bright laugh. Fritter chitters excitedly, crawling up into Wu's hair. ]

Whew! That felt good, really good. [ But then his eyes go wide and he adds, conspiratorially: ] Oh, but if you're from home and you somehow go back home and there's another Wu there, he didn't do that, not yet at least! He still has some work to do.

[ We're back to casualness, and a bright, wide grin. ]

I'm glad that's done with. Oh, boy. You know, that super important thing? Mako and I are getting married! And he doesn't want any pesky titles following him around like mine was. So, we're just going to be two regular guys. Just two guys, getting married. [ He sighs happily, clearly deeply, disgustingly in love. Fritter rolls out of his hair and he casually catches her in his arms.

Then he gasps again, sitting up: ] Oh, and you're all invited! February 20th, at the Raccoon Room. I'll see you there!

he does

[pabugotmoves]

[Bolin nods several times. He's listening.]

Well. Good. I think.

You should buy your friend a nice gift to say thank you.

[He was not listening]

[retsuden]

[ ......................................................................................................................... ]

I am not going to do that.

[pabugotmoves]

Why? Nothing says like.. hey buddy, best friend in the world, thanks for the redemption arc. I got you flowers.

My best friend has done a ton of messed up stuff.

[retsuden]

[ ... Why does he always end up talking to These Types, is he some kind of MAGNET FOR THEM ]

I've no interest in saying that or buying anyone something as useless as flowers.

[pabugotmoves]

[Look at your life, Sasuke. Look at your choices.]

Uhhuh.. yeah see that’s where you’re wrong. Everybody loves getting flowers and if you think they don’t then you have never experienced the joy of getting them.

You know what? I’m gonna hook you up, no worries. I want you to understand.

[retsuden]

You pick plants that could have otherwise thrived on their own only for them to die within a matter of days in a vase on your table. There's nothing joyful about it, particularly not in a place like this where plants already seem rare enough. Do not "hook me up."

[pabugotmoves]

[y i k e s]

Okay.. okay.. sorry.

[arclightning]

You're fine, bro, just... don't offer to buy strangers flowers.

[pabugotmoves]

[Bolin just. Sniffs and gives a curt nod before turning off his feed. This did not go how he was expecting. He is bailing. Enjoy your mean friend.]

[retsuden]

[ Aw crap he made your brother cry. He's quiet for a second before sort of cautiously deciding maybe he should ask. ]

... Was that too harsh?

[ HE'S GUESSING YES. ]

[arclightning]

That's... just Bolin. He's sensitive.

[ A small beat. ]

I'll talk to him.

[retsuden]

Don't worry. It... was my mistake. I can fix it.
