Day 11: Silly Snapchat photo
The latest fad to hit Republic City's youth was a device that allowed one to take pictures of themselves—aptly named "selfies"—and then send them to a friend. Produced by Varrick Global Industries after Sir Iknik Blackstone Varrick got the idea when he needed to send a picture of himself and his wife, Zhu Li Moon, to his public relations office. He subsequently pitched the idea to his production team and then had prototypes produced immediately. A week later the product was used everywhere in Republic City. Varrick had the device named the "Snapchat" as it allowed one to communicate merely by "snapping" selfies.
Ikki and Meelo loved using their Snapchats and whenever they weren't improving their Airbending or going on missions with other members of the Air Nation they would go around Republic City and take selfies of themselves. Jinora wasn't as interested; her relationship with her erstwhile boyfriend Kai had just collapsed, to the delight of a certain Firebending princess who had emerged from the new spirit portal in the middle of the city. It was about time Jinora saw that dirty thief for the slime he is. I'm so glad he's the one who cheated and also got involved with the Triads. Though why Jinora was even surprised is beyond me. I could tell from the beginning that he was a lowlife.
Azula had been trying to get closer to the Airbending Master for a while. And now that the disgusting criminal peasant Kai is gone, I'll be able to make her mine. But what would be the best way to get her to submit to me? She knew it wasn't the best idea, but she decided to buy one of the new Snapchats and (with some aid from Ikki) managed to connect her device to Jinora's.
Her first attempts were rather pedestrian: a selfie of herself in front of the new Spirit Portal; a selfie of herself throwing a fireball at Kai from a distance in Avatar Korra Park; attempting to set one of Meelo's farts on fire (this earned her a stern warning from Pema).
Eventually she was out of ideas. But Jinora approached her. "I appreciate you trying to cheer me up after my breakup, Azula. But I know what you want and it's not gonna happen. At least for now." Azula was surprised that Jinora knew what she was trying to do. "I'm sorry but I still need time to heal." She turned to walk away, but Azula grabbed her wrist.
"At least let me take a selfie of us together. I promised Ikki I'd give her one."
"What does she have to do with this?"
"Who do you think gave me your Snapchat address?"
Jinora groaned and mentally noted that she'd have to teach Ikki a lesson later but nevertheless acquiesced. "Ok, let's get this over with." She said as Azula wrapped an arm around Jinora's stomach and pulled her close. Ikki was later heard all over Air Temple Island, laughing at the selfie she received.
