Cup 019: Iroh [In Person]

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

[Iroh is inside the safehouse.  He's already checked and double-checked all the entrances and openings to make sure they're safe and secure.  After a few run-ins with the walking dead, he's not eager to see them again, and making sure everyone else is safe and secure is top priority.  And not infected.  That too.  He's heard people talking about what the undead can do...

There are a few cooking pots of water he's managed to get and boil to make sure they're purified.]  If only we had tea leaves...  [Oh well.

He walks around the house, looking for people who need his help.  One of the water pots is in his hand, along with a ladle to serve it out.]

sorry it took so long for me to get back to this...

Ah. [Iroh takes a closer look at the ring. The craftsmanship is excellent.] They must be very valuable.

It seems so terrible that people are willing to do so much over such things.

it's all good! XD

[andsuddenlydynamite]

They're one of a kind... they're part of a set. If someone gets the whole set....

[He laughs nervously and rubs the back of his neck]

Well, everyone's going to be thoroughly screwed....

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

[Iroh raises an eyebrow.]

In what way? Nothing so horrible as world destruction, I hope.

[andsuddenlydynamite]

I think it's somethin' like that... there's a weird kind of balance with the three sets of rings... I guess it's sorta like the avatar guys in your world... only anyone can get the ring I think.

[he scratches his head and looks at his ring, rather puzzled]

Things weren't really explained fully to me yet...

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

Then yours is an important mission. I understand.

[Though it would be good to know what those rings could do, exactly.]

I think as long as you are here in the Manor, you and that ring will be safe.

[andsuddenlydynamite]

.... unless the Author decides to bring the Millefiore family here... or more of the Varia.

[He laughs nervously and rubs the back of his neck]

Then I'll be all kinds of screwed. Belphegor is enough of a bitch to deal with. Kicked his ass once though, I can do it again.

[and oh? Is that him being a smug little thing? Why yes. Yes it is.]

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

[Iroh frowns. He's certainly making light of the situation, but that's not surprising.]

I hope it does not come to that. These sound like dangerous people, and the less you have to deal with them, the better.

[andsuddenlydynamite]

They are, but at least the Varia is completely dysfunctional without their boss. Don't know about the Millefiore, I only ran into one of their generals... Who kicked my ass to hell and back in a matter of minutes...

[It was just sheer luck and great timing that he had actually survived that encounter...]

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

Well, it is a good thing you survived. I would not worry about them right now.

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[And there's that proud grin again. He did make it, and he was stronger for it.]

Yeah...

[ Tired, the teen lets out a bit of a yawn, and reaches behind him for his crutch. He places it in front of him, and rests his chin on it, beginning to nod off... with a lit cigarette in his mouth.]

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. It has been a strenuous day, hasn't it?

[Iroh leans forward and plucks the cigarette out of his mouth, stubs it out, and places it on the nearby table. Probably best to leave him like he is, though. For now.]

[andsuddenlydynamite]

Mmm-hmmm...

[He would totally recant his little zombie-rodeo stunt to Iroh, if he were conscious enough to do so. But instead he can only get out a series of mumbles before his head slumps forward and he's completely out]
