[In Central is a Russel decked out in Fire Nation armor, looking a bit confused, but very wary. This was not the Central he expected to find. And even if it was, there was no way he should even be here. He was waiting for soldiers to come out and arrest him for even setting foot back here.]

((OOC: Have a Zuko-Russel from Avatar: The Last Airbender. He's a bit jumpy, so don't spook him if you don't want fire thrown at you.))

[Also wandering around is a Fletcher who is, quite embarrassingly, decked out in a loincloth and hat made of leaves, some bandages around his hands and feet, and... nothing else. When he notices Russel, his eyes widen.]

...Brother? What happened?!

Fletcher? What happened to you?

Nothin' happened to me. What happened to your hair? And your face? And what are you wearing?

What happened to your hair? And my face that's....

[Looks down, then to the side, swipes a hand over his hair to make sure the scar is covered.] That doesn't matter. Those are not the kind of clothes a prince should be caught wearing. Come back to my train and change before someone sees you.

Huh? Wait, I'm not a prince. Brother, are you being stupid again?

No I'm not. I don't know what game you think you're playing, but this really isn't the time. Come on! [Goes to grab his arm and tug him along]

Hey, let go! [But is tugged] Brother, what are you doing? W-wait! Where are we?!

Central. The last place I need to be right now. Let's go! [Leading to train station.]

Wait, where's Central?! Brother, you're acting weird! [Jerks his hand away and glares in a little brotherly way]

Would you just come on, I don't want to make a scene.

No! ...who are you? [Suspicious now!] Brother said not to talk to strangers.

It's me, it's Russel! [Flicks his hair up so he can see the scar better, then smooths it down.]

Ah--!

[Gasp!] But... what happened to... to your face?

[Looks around to make sure no one's watching] Father burned me, remember?

...no... I don't remember that. Dad wouldn't do that.

[Sigh, this is so hopeless] Can we just get somewhere not so out in the open? Then maybe we can figure out what's going on.

...okay...

But which way is the swamp from here?

Far away. My train is closer. Come with me, please, Fletcher.

But-- but what's a train?

I'll show you when we get there. Come on. [Leads!]

Um... o-okay... [F-follows]

[Look it's a fancy train covered with flame designs] Uncle Belshio! Where are you?

Wow, so that's a train...

Belshio? Y'mean Dad's boyfriend?

Yeah-- Wait, Dad's what?

His boyfriend. That's what you said anyway.

I said no such thing! He's mom's brother!

No he's not! ~~Even if he was what's your point?~~

Did you hit your head on something? This is ridiculous. [facepalm]

No.

Brother, you're acting really weird. You're saying crazy things and your voice is all funny too. Are you really Russel?

Yes, I'm really Russel. You wore your belt as a headband your first day of school because you were so nervous.

My belt? [Looks down at his loincloth] I don't remember that...

Um, do you remember the other day when we were showing Pa our vinebending and I accidentally threw you halfway across the swamp?

Vinebending? You're a firebender, Fletcher.

What? No way, we're waterbenders, Brother!

No, we're firebenders. Sons of the Fire Lord. Did you get into any cactus juice in the last couple days? You know that's not good for you.

What kind of juice? ...Dad's not the lord of anything. Stop it, Brother.
