[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.]

[And he'll keep chasing it. Because he's smart like that. At least until he finally sees who has definitely, indeed, been HORRIBLY TORMENTING HIM.]

Toph!?

[It's only a matter of seconds before he's grinning wide.]

When did you get here?!

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

Not too long ago.

[Still grinning]

[redforehead.livejournal.com]

You know, this might sound like crazy talk, but I heard you were actually here before.

[He finally grabs the book and stands up, cracking his neck a little.]

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

Well, I wasn't, trust me. How long have you been here?

[redforehead.livejournal.com]

A while. Not too long, though. [Sokka silently counts on his fingers.] A month and a half? Something like that.

[Toph pats the ground next to her]

What's it like here? The others were a little...occupied when I asked.

[redforehead.livejournal.com]

Occupied how? [He scratches his head. Yeah, can't exactly come up with a word to describe this place.]

Well, for one thing, everyone seems to think we were brought here through time-bending or some other craziness. How does that even work?

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

Well, Katara was nagging, Zuko was...Zuko, and I had to get on to Aang because of that whole Zuko-dating-Katara thing.

[redforehead.livejournal.com]

Sounds perfectly normal to me!

[Except that last part. Which he'll ignore. In denial? Perhaps slightly.]

You should check out the training center. It's covered in rocks and metal and stuff. [He plops down for the moment at the spot she indicated, books settled beside him.] And the cafeteria's... ehhh. They have these tubes of meat named after dogs, except there's no kind of dog in them. Not even a polar-bear dog. Is that weird or what?!

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

[Good grief, was she the only one taking this in stride?!]

Tubes of meat named after dogs? What?

[redforehead.livejournal.com]

I can't make this stuff up, Toph! They're called "hot dogs". But seriously, they're awful, don't try them.

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

Avoid the dogs. Got it. What can I eat in this place?

[redforehead.livejournal.com]

... pretty much everything else. Though whether it actually tastes good is another story.
