Book 17.5: Fourth Wall

[savedtheworld]

[Behold Aang, the young air nomad. Physically 15 and now mentally about 16, he's grown quite a bit from his time in the Hundred Year War.

Today seemed like a good day to visit the library. He found out from Duck that there were stories out there where the characters came to life and left the story. So now he's checking around to see if he can find any books like this. Only to find unexpected visitors of a different variety...

Alternately? He can be found out in front of House 56, deep in meditation, trying to see if he can reach his past lives...]

[And he just peers at her, drawing closer.]

Hello? Are you okay?

[getnaked]

[ SNAPPING AWAKE and nearly headbutting Aang in straightening up. ]

I'm in order! I wasn't sleeping on the job, I promise!

[savedtheworld]

[He steps back a bit.]

It's okay! I don't think there's any job to sleep on right now. Are you alright?

[getnaked]

Perfectly fine! My, that was a good nap, I feel perfectly refreshed~

[ despite denying sleep just a second ago, w/e. ]

[savedtheworld]

Well - I'm glad to hear that. Being refreshed is... great! And my name's Aang.

[getnaked]

Right, introductions. I'm Mako Mankanshoku, nice to meet you!

[ BIG RED TITLEDROP GOES HERE \o/ ]

[savedtheworld]

It's nice to meet you, Mako! Hey, are you the Mako who Korra likes?

[getnaked]

Korra who?... But I'd like to be! I'd consider myself a very likable person!

did not see the wrong account there

[savedtheworld]

Maybe not? But hey, I think you're likable just the way you are!

SURE

[getnaked]

Really?! How nice of you to say!

[ KEYWORDS \o\ ]

[savedtheworld]

You're wel- whoa!

[Aang is tackled over like a sack of potatoes.]

[getnaked]

I like you just the way you are, too!

[ even if total stranger. CLINGING TO, KYAAA. ]

[savedtheworld]

Thanks! [He says while being squeezed. And meekly tries to squeeze back.] Just watch out for my wings.

[getnaked]

Of course! Wings have to be handled delica--wait, wings?!

[ STARING AT wow those are cute though. ]

[savedtheworld]

Y-yeah, wings! [He says bashfully as he gives them a light flutter.]

[getnaked]

Whooaaa, these are incredible! Are they real? Can you fly? Are you an angel?! Am I in heaven right now!

[savedtheworld]

Um... They're real! They can't fly. I'm not an angel, just Aang. And this isn't heaven, it's Luceti.

[getnaked]

Whoever heard of wings that can't fly? And maybe you aren't an angel, but you could certainly be an Aangel.

[savedtheworld]

I know! It didn't make sense to me either. [But he laughs at it.] Maybe I am! As long as I get to be alive, I don't mind being that!

[getnaked]

Then it's decided. Okay, Aangel-san, I want wings too!

[savedtheworld]

You do? Um...

Okay!

[So he bends some of the snow around into wings and loosely attaches them to her back.]

[getnaked]

[ KYAAA SNOW ANGEL ty snow aangel. ]

Having wings is so cool!

[getnaked]

... And cold!

[savedtheworld]

[The snowiest angel. Aang just looks in with mild concern.]

Is it too cold for you?

[getnaked]

I can handle it! I have to be cooler than cool, that's all!
