Return to Ba Sing Se - A Weird One-Shot

I'm writing this under a stress that is... considerable. I'm not sure how long the door is going to hold, so I'm just scrabbling this on a piece of parchment I - wait, where was I? I... ah, it's the nerves, you see? Focus drops, writing disintegrates and I... oh, poor Bosco...

I apologize if if the paper is wet. That is not what I intended at all! I just... I just... I just can't really control my emotions right now. They're... scratching? Scratching at the door... and they're not making any sounds at all. It just keeps going on, and on, and on, those high voices with their pitch that tears apart your ears...

I should have taken some guards! That's it... when I came back, Ba Sing Se was nearly completely empty, most people had run away for the old men liberating them, I thought. It appeared they were terrifying. Anyhow, it appears there still were Dai Li left in the city after the Fire Nation was expulsed. And Dai Li are not so easily defeated, in my experience. Somehow, they went back to that lake of theirs. Somehow, they released those... monsters!

You have never seen anything like them, and I hope you never will. They have no soul, I say! One of them is looking at me through the window, I know... but I can't look I can't look I can't look I... AGH, I'm going insane! I saw her looking as I fled into this room, her pupils dilated so much there was no iris left. They all look like that... they're all the same.

I only saw her once: I've turned my back to her, and now I have this phobia that she's going to tear through the window with her bare hands and grab me... it's impossible, right? All she's doing is... staring.

They're all like that: their robes are tattered and covered in filth and blood, but they don't care. They, don't even notice. They, don't notice anything, only living things not like themselves. Those they chase, find, and rip open. I saw a guard on my way into the palace... one of them had ripped his stomach open with her teeth, and had sunk her head into his entrails to be able to gnaw away better at his flesh... she drowned. Her body was submerged into his up to the shoulders, and he was still breathing. Horibble... horrible.

There's something that's even more disturbing... they all seem to be after me. As soon as they see me... they go mad. It varies: some just get paralyzed, freeze in place and can't stop staring at the stop they saw me first until... I actually never had the time to see what happened to them if they waited long enough. I guess their legs would just collapse of exhaustion.

Others, however... others go completely insane, no, rabid! They start attacking buildings, animals (I guess they weren't programmed to attack animals in the first place), the pavement, one another... and then they start their chasing. And whispering. They're whispering through the door now:

"Kuei... Kuei... Kuei..."

But what is the most disturbing is the... lust, there is in those voices. They are trying really hard to sound seductive, but with their voices so distorted... they're just driving me insane. The Dai Li's parting gift to their Earth King coming back to his capital? It would so typical... I can't stand it any more, my head is bursting! It's too much... I have to drop my pen! It's... too...

"Kuei... Kuei... Kuei..."

Why am I... why am I writing that down? I don't know, I guess I'll just write. Write, roo, ra, WRITE! Hehehehehehheeeheeeeeeeeeee.

Stripestripe strieeeeeeep.

No, that's now how you write "stripe" silly man! Stripe has no "e" after the "i" !

Hey, look, they're coming through the door! HI. HUEUEUEUEUE, oh... one is... gnawing at my leg? Hehehehehehe... oh, hey! She's stroking my neck! You romantic... no, not there i'm tryyyingg to- myhandmyhandmyhand
