[Early enough on in the morning, everything is same as always at Iroh's new tea shop. Not too many patrons early in the day, but he's happy enough to serve whoever comes through the doors looking for a pick-me-up with a side dish of wisdom, or pai sho lessons.

It's mid-afternoon that makes for truly out of the ordinary. Anyone passing by would be hard pressed to miss the smoke pouring out of the shop that smells severely of campfire. A quick check of the building shows why. The grey-haired owner of the establishment is absorbed with firebending into what appears to be a large roasting pan. A roasting pan with a hole at the bottom for the fire and a hole in the lid... which seems to be the exhaust port for all the smoke. That is, if you can see through the smoke to what's going on.

The rest of the day, and well for that matter, the rest of the month, the tea shop and all its contents will smell (and taste) of campfire. But Iroh'll be serving a delicious new brand of smokey tea.]

[Anyone in the Overlord's Castle today might come across a certain firebender wandering the halls, looking more frustrated than he does utterly baffled, although it's a close one. The Gatekeeper gave him some sort of explanation, but being in an "other world" that isn't the Spirit World is too hard for him to wrap his mind around just yet.

He's had some strange dreams before, but aside from sharing a certain fire theme... He'd never populate his subconscious with all these weird-looking people. Maybe the dragon over there, but even so, that is not a normal-looking dragon.

You might even be able to catch him muttering to himself:]

Wake up, Zuko. You don't have time for this.

[Aren't people supposed to wake up once they realize they're dreaming? Why is that not happening?]

[It is difficult to define what a normal afternoon is by Netherworld standards. In the dark, torch-lit halls of the Overlord's Castle, penguin-suited prinnies totter about pretending to do work, while most other vassals make no effort at all to pretend. No fights have broken out yet, but it is questionable how long that will last with the Overlord being awake. It is just the sort of calm that comes before something unexpected happens, or someone makes it happen out of boredom.

And that is precisely when the first stranger comes through the swirling vortex of the Dimensional Gate.

It doesn't seem so unusual at first, because people use that gate on a daily basis. But more people start to show up, people who aren't demons. The Gatekeeper herself has no idea where they've come from, or how they've found their way to the Netherworld.

Unfortunately, neither do the unexpected guests.]
