[04] Action/Closed/Backdated to 9/28

[So. Damian's awake and Toph's chewed his ass out for lying. Next step?

Kicking his butt.

Toph's in the TC already, warming up while she waits]

[He's later than expected, but with Oracle's and Dana's help, Day's somehow managed to get a working Robin suit and replenished tech. Normally, he'd go for the stealth approach, but... it's Aang's Earthbending teacher.

Stealth doesn't exist with Earthbenders.]

Toph! You ready?

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

You bet.

[And there is now a rock flying at Day's head]

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

[Dodging! Robin scowls at her before pulling out his escrima stick and assuming a defensive stance. He's done his research, as any Robin should, but he's still not entirely sure how he's going to go about this.

Especially since he's pretty darn sure Earthbending's the most dangerous of the four elements.]

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

[Let's see. Airbenders can suffocate you, Waterbenders can drown you (or control your blood), and Firebenders can burn you. Meanwhile, Earthbenders can suffocate you with a landslide, crush you, smash you, and generally cause more chaos than legal.

Day's probably right. And if Toph--the girl who can read your movements--is the one wielding it?

May the Spirits have mercy on your soul.

Right now, she's shifting the ground at Damian's feet to throw off his stance]

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

[Well then.

Robin jumps, landing on the ground in a heap. Getting back up with the help of his escrima stick, he glares at her before lunging forward. Intelligence clearly doesn't come easy to him.]

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

[Clearly. Another shift, this time making a rather large rock appear in front of Damian to trip him while Toph steps to the left.]

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

[OW.

Robin groans, rubbing his nose before jumping into the nearest metal structure he can see. If Aang can't bend it, then maybe she can't either.]

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

[Toph cackles. Actually cackles. She starts shrinking the structure with Day in it]

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

[Ugh.

It doesn't take Robin too long to blowtorch his way out of the metal structure, especially since Toph's still shrinking it and contorting it and dear god, how can she do what Aang can't?

So of course, he looks unimpressed when he (eventually) breaks free.]

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

[And as soon as he touches ground, Toph is making said ground reach up to snag his ankles]

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

[What the hell? Damian jumps, but he's only partially successful.]

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

[And again!]

This is your idea of a fight?

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

And you people wonder why the world hates superpowered people.

[Damn, that's going to leave a mark. That comment really didn't mean to come out - it really didn't! - but goddammit if he isn't frustrated.]

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

I'm not superpowered. This is Earthbending. What, think I'm cheating?

[Day is now firmly held in place by a stone body armor type thing]

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

[Welp. No matter how much he squirms, he can't really break free.

This.

This might be a problem.] What do you think?

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

I think you don't like it when you get outmaneuvered.

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

Tt, you couldn't be more wrong.

[Except that she's totally and completely right.]

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

I know when you're lying, remember?

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh. [He remembers; his best friend's a living lie detector too.]

... So when're you going to let me out, you zift?

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

Why should I?

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

I don't know, because I could give you a month's worth of detention? [... Not lying about this one. He's legitimately able to do this to any student.]

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

...What.

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

Seriously.

I'm on the Disciplinary Committee. Did you even bother reading up on the clubs? [Aand this is where he starts ranting. Unless she stops him, he's just gonna keep on going...]

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

No, Blockhead, because I'm blind. [She pulls at her eyelids to make a point] Geez, what is it with you people and forgetting! I don't even know what a Disciplinary Committee is.

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

... Actually, I didn't know.

[Now he just feels bad.]

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

...you what? You didn't know?

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

It never came up in conversation! [flailing just a little, despite the fact that he. Can't move.] Aang and I were kind of busy doing other things.

[Like throwing sleepovers. And not sleeping.]

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

I thought the whole 'eye' thing and not looking at people kind of made it obvious.

[She releases him]

At least, everyone else always noticed. Huh.

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

[OW.

Well, he can't complain about being let go now.]

Haven't you realized? I'm not like everyone else. [He's just slow. Very, very slow.]

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

Look, the first time I met you, you lied to me. I was a little busy being mad to notice stuff.

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

I guess so.

... [He's not even going to argue that he can't fight a blind person, considering she was beating him up just now.] Um. Are we going to continue fighting or...

... you wanna say you beat me up and we'll go grab dinner instead?

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

...Sure, why not.

[Shoulder punch]

You're okay, Blockhead.

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

[OW. If she keeps this up, he's landing in the infirmary again for sure.]

Heh. Likewise.

... So remind me what you like again? I'm not paying for something you totally hate.

[erosion-sucks.livejournal.com]

Rice, noodles, plums. I'm pretty easy to please, as long as it smells like food and tastes like food.
