Forty-ninth rebirth [Video]

[He knows he's on- whatever criminal database they're keeping. And, quite honestly, he's offended. Yuca takes a big breath. One may notice that some strands of his hair end in small leaves, the teensiest of budding flowers arranged delicately behind his ear. His skin is slightly darker, and long creases run though his arms, not unlike the patterning of bark. It's almost... pretty, in an odd sort of way.

Of course. Yuca could pretty much pull anything off.]

...I was under the impression that I've given everyone a chance to bring their arguments to me. To allow revenge on those who wished to exact it, to extend my apologies to all of the parties involved.

[He bites his lip and looks- almost regretful, there.]

Apparently, that wasn't the case.

Personally, I don't care who added my name to the register. Nor am I surprised to see it there. However. [His jaw tenses a little, and Yuca takes a deep breath.] My immortality is not something that should be flaunted around lightly. It has no effect on my fighting abilities, or anything else I've done- and compared to some of your powers, I can't even directly hurt anyone with it.

Perhaps if I summoned fire, or was able to turn lead into gold, or if I was some mythological god- [Yes, he has his suspects. Here's looking at you guys (and a few others, but mostly you punks).] -but I don't. I'm not.

[There's another long pause. Yuca leans back, considers his words for a moment, calms himself down.] You see, the main problem is- my name being up there can potentially do two things.

One- [Ticking it off lazily with a finger] -and most obvious, it warns people, mostly newcomers, away from me. Which, of course, I appreciate the effort to protect our fellow citizens. Thank you for being so thoughtful. [And the way he says it just... holy crap, he makes that sound genuine.] Though... that could have been achieved simply with a name and a summary of what transpired last Summer.

[Yuca glances off toward the window, letting out the slightest frown. He is Not Happy. But he hides it rather well, beyond a faint hint of disappointment, regret.] By including my inability to die, I'm not only painted as a target for everyone who wants to know the secret of immortality- through brutal methods or not- but my credibility is also rather damaged, and someone might get the idea that Rain isn't safe with me.

[And God forbid anyone get that idea. Yuca takes a deep breath, and- strangely enough- sighs, pouting almost comically, as he lifts a second finger.]

Two... think of the church. Attendance is going to be worse than ever, now.

[[ooc: THE LIST: Horst, Tommy, Al, Break, Sasuke, Hitsu, Zuko, Kotaru, Unohana.... okay screw it, IF YOU WERE HERE LAST SUMMER FOR THE ANGEL PLOT and Yuca thinks your character was unhappy with how it went, you're on the filter. No need to ask if you are, if there's any inkling of doubt that you might be included, you are. ~~In addition to Horst and Tommy by affiliation~~. Yuca is now suspicious of all of you ever ~~and he's really really pissed off~~.

Oh. Yeah. He's also part-tree for this event. Whoop.]]

Like I would waste my time.

[Why the fuck is he first on the list, dude, screw you. 8|]

No need to feel special. I included everyone that might hold a grudge.

Because so many people can summon fire at will.

[The problem, though, is that Zuko doesn't sound annoyed. Or angry. Or surprised, really.

He's oddly monotone.]

It was an example.

[His tone, sort of- gradually breaks down to monotone as well. They're arguing about something that neither of them really care about. 8\]

Your immortality was brought up...? By who?

Hence the broad message. I don't know.

No, I meant who did you hear it from? Why the message at all?

[Because he was only vaguely paying attention to Tommy. Hospital stay and spazzy green spandex don't make for an attentive vampire.]
