You all have no right to take her. That girl is mine. Give her back immediately or face the consequences of your stupidity.

Right, I'll alert the hospital staff that there's about to be a bloodbath.

These parents agreed to give their children up to strangers when the government commanded it. They're hopeless sheep to this system, how could anything I do have been worse? Exposing a child to this, that should be what's despicable. I've done nothing wrong.

[andiburn.livejournal.com]

Keep telling yourself that.

[victoryflare]

What has Tsunayoshi told you? That I struck the child? Neglected her? Challenged her to Agni Kai?

[andiburn.livejournal.com]

He didn't need to tell me anything. I've lived with you long enough.

[victoryflare]

You overestimate your own importance in my affairs.

[andiburn.livejournal.com]

It has nothing to do with me.

[victoryflare]

So don't involve yourself. The girl was safer with me than she is now and you know it. You regret this decision but you can't possibly back down now that it's reached this point. When will you be satisfied, Zuko? When I kill her? This isn't a game.

[andiburn.livejournal.com]

I'll take the blame for everything you do. I'm your brother, after all.

I think I can live with that.

[victoryflare]

Answer the question. What do you want? If you cared about her safety you would have done this discreetly, so don't say your goal was a better life for her.

Look, there are no words for how much I don't want to get into the politics of this whole business. There's no limit to the stupid things parents will do to and for their kids. Believe me, that's something I know. But I'm too busy to care or get involved, so like I said — thanks for the warning this time, defibrillators will be at the ready.

So basically... government gives infants to teenagers, teenagers go on insane rampage, adults look at teenagers and never ever want to procreate.

[giantego]

More or less Babylon's idea of a good time, yes.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Oh, they're insane siblings. Better and better.

[giantego]

The stories I could tell you about super happy fun wondersibling hospital adventures! And by that I mean me constantly shoving The Artist Formerly Known As Zuko into the hallway to avoid being eviscerated by his crazy Princess sister, who was simultaneously trying to rip out her IV and run out of the hospital, never mind those pesky gaping stomach wounds.

It was the highlight of my career.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Literal princess? No one told me there was insane royalty running around.

[giantego]

It's Babylon. Of course we do.

[victoryflare]

Yes, I am the crown princess of the Fire Nation.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Well, Miss CPotFN, have to say I'm curious. Is it you or your ego that wants this baby back so much?

[victoryflare]

I did not mistreat that girl, so there was no reason to take her away from me.

[andiburn.livejournal.com]

Don't compare me to her.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Really. Because all I see right now are two ego-consumed teenagers duking it out over some prize. Oops, I meant baby.

[andiburn.livejournal.com]

Look harder.

You're not seeing everything. I'm not letting a child be tortured by her. I wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing I could do something about it.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Think I already made my opinion about her having a baby pretty crystal, Prince Charmless. But the fact that you keep arguing with a stranger like little 'ol me over this and spouting off about family honor says a lot about you as well.

[andiburn.livejournal.com]

Keep your opinions to yourself, I have a child to protect.
