[Action 01]

Option A: Lobby

[Toph is leaning against the directory with her arms crossed, unamused. The letter and course catalog are by her feet, untouched.

She's blind, Cid. Why the hell did you give her stuff to read? She's just going to stand here and people 'watch' for a while. Passerbys are free to notice her bare feet or blank stare. If you talk to her, she won't look at you.]

Option B: Quad

[Later, after lunch, Toph is sitting against a convenient wall, apparently doing nothing. People walking by her, however, have a tendency to trip and glance back at the ground behind them, swearing there was a dip there only to find that the ground is just as flat as it's always been.

She's bored and making people look like idiots is entertaining.]

Comments

No? That's usually what people have always brought up to me when I've said it. What do you mean I seem human then?

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

[She gestures]

Your shape. Except for that tail, you look human.

[moirailcompass]

Oh. Well yea, I guess on the outside we're not really all that diffurrent. [Nepeta wonders how Toph manages to 'see' since she obviously can't see. She wonders if she smells like Terezi, but doesn't think it polite to ask.]

[Toph shrugs]

I'm Toph.

[moirailcompass]

[She smiles] I'm Nepeta. Nice to meetcha, Toph!

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

So where am I, anyway? They gave me a letter, but like that's doing me any good.

[moirailcompass]

[she picked up the letter. It more or less said the same as hers]

This is Balab Garden, the school they purrobably told you about. This is basically a military academy where they teach you diffurent kinds of fighting techniques and magic--a place fur you to stay till the war is over or they find a way to send us back home. Explains time compurression, bah blah, has a catalog attached and warns you about using purrsonal skills too much.

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

Like I'm going to listen to that last one. What's a Time Compurr...Compression?

[moirailcompass]

[Oh! So she had special abilities? Curious, how curious.]

Eh, I don't really understand it all that well either but basically some...sorceresses they call them, are messing with the time stream which is making things wonky and...stuff compuresses together I guess, or something, and it clawsing rifts to open up in other worlds and times and thus you and I end up here.

[Yea, Nepeta it totally the best as explaining Time Shit.]

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

[A beat]

So, we're here because some stupid idiot screwed up?

[moirailcompass]

Well I think they kind of did it on purrpose--why I'm not sure. This school is suppose to train people to help in the war against them so I guess they are bad guys?

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

Still. We're here because of some idiot.

[Toph thunks her head against the directory]

Great.
