[Action 03] Quad--Early Morning

[Yeah, there might be other open areas in Fisherman's Horizon, but Toph likes the quad.

Right now, it's pretty early, and she's going through her bending forms. They look an awful lot like this (also known as Southern Praying Mantis Style, for those Earthly kung fu junkies), but without all the rocks flying everywhere.

Observe?]

No, I'm going to want to know where the closest cover is, and I'm gonna want them to shoot whoever's shooting us.

The range and accuracy are part of that. And it might affect your choice of cover.

Not that you can't just make cover, apparently.

[She sorta smirks]

See? It's not really all that useful for me.

Just one example. Point is, you want a basic understanding of all the options. Same way you need to learn the basic foundations of martial arts before you pick something to specialize in.

You... I mean, I assume you started out with the basics. Punches, kicks, physical conditioning, right?

Earthbending isn't normal martial arts, and this isn't normal Earthbending. I learned from badger moles when was about four or five.

Uh.

Okay, I didn't expect that.

Badger moles?

[Toph takes a rock and bends it into a surprisingly accurate rendition of a badgermole as 'seen' by Toph.]

They're a lot bigger, though.

[She gestures to a bench over ten feet away]

About that big.

And clearly they're intelligent enough to known martial arts. That's pretty wild. I can see why you'd have trouble with the whole course schedule, with that sort of background.

I can get used to the schedule, it's all these pointless classes I have to take I don't like.

[identity profile] haha-steelguard.livejournal.com 2011-09-02 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm just saying, they're not all pointless. Besides, it's good to learn new things.

[identity profile] erosion-sucks.livejournal.com 2011-09-02 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe it'd be better if I could, y'know, read and stuff.

[Shrug]

[identity profile] haha-steelguard.livejournal.com 2011-09-04 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty sure the classroom terminals can read stuff out.

[identity profile] erosion-sucks.livejournal.com 2011-09-04 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
Yeeaaaaaaaaaah still not into the whole 'classes' thing.

[identity profile] haha-steelguard.livejournal.com 2011-09-04 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Not much hope of changing your mind, huh?

[He's grinning. It doesn't bother him too much.]

Keep your ears open and maybe you'll pick up an interesting thing or two. And when you get to my classes? [Palmpunch!] I'll make sure you learn some things worth knowing.

[Toph grins. Thank you, people who understand]

You got it.
