Player Name: Takato


[There wasn't anything Toph hated more than unannounced baths, and she certainly hadn't been expecting to go from being on top of a Fire Nation blimp to being underwater in any case. Last she knew she'd been clinging to Sokka's hand, dangling precariously from the very tips of his fingers. Had he let go of her? No, he wouldn't have. She trusted him too much to believe that.

Once she found her feet, she shook herself down and started feeling her way around. Feeling the cobblestone pathway under her feet, Toph gave a small sigh of relief. It was some kind of earth, which was good enough for her. Her feet picked up people walking around, which meant she wasn't alone. Had she landed in a Fire Nation colony? It was hard to tell.

She turned to the person closest to her, getting their attention with a small tug on their sleeve.]

Hey. Where am I?

[Zuko was pretty skeptical when he'd arrived, and he could see it. That doesn't mean he doesn't bristle with irritation that she's doubting him, though.]

There is no deal. We're stuck here and that's it! No one can even decide if they like it here or not, so don't get me started. [He cuts off that entire line of thought, and switches to,] Can you see okay down here, or do you want me to bring you up to the island?

[stoneblind]

[She stretches her toes, feeling the stone underneath her feet before shaking her head.]

I can see okay down here. It's a little weird but it's still earth in a way, just molded into something else.

[flammatory]

Well... that's something.

I can't believe that you're here. I wonder if this means everyone else is going to show up. They're sure taking their time about it!

[stoneblind]

Yeah. It's a little blurry but at least it's not like walking around on sand.

So we're the only ones?

[flammatory]

And Uncle, [he clarifies, still grumbling a bit.] But other than that... I think you're the only earthbender on the whole planet right now. It's crazy.

[stoneblind]

[Oh that's good. She likes Iroh.]

It sounds crazy when you really think about it.

[flammatory]

Yeah. It does.

... So I guess I should get you a towel. There should be some over here.

[stoneblind]

Towel would be great. I'm all for standing here dripping wet but I just went through the water ride of my life and landed in a weird place. Kinda don't want to do that again.

[flammatory]

[He sighs and leads her over to a nearby stand, grabbing a towel and holding it out to her, remembering to add,] Here.

Do I need to explain anything else? [Even he knows how terrible he is at this greeting thing, but he's trying.]

[stoneblind]

[She takes the towel from him, starting to rub herself down.]

Bottom line we're in another world in a bubble under the sea with no way out? I think that's a pretty good explanation.
