o2 [walking around Garden]

[snotbending.livejournal.com]

[Toph was bored. So freaking bored. Classes started in a few days, but there was really nothing to do until then.

She was walking randomly around Garden, hand trailing against the wall as she walked... when suddenly, she smirked. She tapped her bare foot on the floor to see if anyone was coming... when there wasn't, she moved her arms in the familiar pattern, and a piece of the wall shot out. Chuckling to herself, she did those practiced movements again, and another piece of the metal wall shot out a bit ahead.

This would go on for a couple more feet, until she was quite satisfied with herself. Whistling a tune, she continues her walk.]

[Cause ... you know, the sound of flying metal into more metal isn't exactly quiet. For a minute Squall almost thinks there's an attack, one they hadn't anticipated. What in the name of Hyne was going on...

He quickens his steps to where the sounds are coming from.]

[She was about halfway through those practiced motions again when her spider sense tingled she heard someone coming. Oh well... might as well finish, right?

The metal underneath Squall's feet ripples in a wave like motion. And off goes Toph, running. She doesn't want to stick around to get in trouble!]

[And it ends up causing Squall to DANCE PUPPET DANCE for a few seconds, his brows lifting in surprise, arms lifting out at his sides for balance.] Tch--! [He hops back and glares after the Cadet. And then breaks into a run after her.]

Get back here!

[snotbending.livejournal.com]

[Oh man. She was going to be in so much trouble. Especially when Katara heard about this. She could already hear her waterbending friend now. Toph, you shouldn't trick people. Toph, you shouldn't do that! Toph, you shouldn't metalbend the school!

Oh yeah, she was going to hear about it. That's if she got out of this mess. Where to go, where to go- she immediately turns a corner, and bam! goes tumbling as she trips over a plant.]

Oww...

[renzokukens.livejournal.com]

[Squall comes veering around the corner and grabs onto it to stop himself from pretty much stomping all over her. He pushes his hair out his eyes and walks to where she's laying.]

... Where do you think you're going?

[He doesn't crouch to check on her, just stands next to her, glaring down at her disapprovingly.]

[snotbending.livejournal.com]

[She seemingly doesn't look at him, but sighs. She can't see that glare, Commander! hahaha]

Uh, trying to get some dignity back after completely getting beaten by that potted plant?

[renzokukens.livejournal.com]

It's called karma. Get up.

[He takes a step back so she can.]

[snotbending.livejournal.com]

[Her hand felt the floor for a minute before she pushed herself up, then dusted the imaginary dirt off of herself.]

So, uh... did I do something wrong? [It was time to play innocent.]

[renzokukens.livejournal.com]

... What were you doing back there?

[snotbending.livejournal.com]

Walking?

[Cause that's what she was doing! She's not going to mention anything about her awesome ability to Metalbend. Really.]

[bitterfire.livejournal.com]

Metalbending, huh?

[ Azula chuckled as she looked at the little green-clad earthbender, genuinely impressed. She quickly moved to walk beside her. ]

That is a pretty amazing skill for such a small girl.

[snotbending.livejournal.com]

[Azula... complimenting her? Or was she just being sarcastic? Let's go with compliment and start from there.]

Well, metal is made out of earth, after all.

[bitterfire.livejournal.com]

Most earthbenders are much too stubborn to have that kind of thinking. I do believe you're the only metalbender I've ever met.

[ She faked a laugh. ]

It's amazing how people seem to go above and beyond expectations.

[snotbending.livejournal.com]

I'm the only metalbender because I invented it!

[Hands go to her hips.] Well, we wouldn't want you to get bored.

[bitterfire.livejournal.com]

It's really amazing how a girl like yourself got caught up with the imbeciles that befriended the Avatar. You don't really seem the type.

[snotbending.livejournal.com]

[Any semblance of humor amusement left Toph's face at that. You do not talk about her friends that way, Azula.]

Look. You may not like them, but they're my friends. You have no right to talk about them like that.

[bitterfire.livejournal.com]

I see. Maybe you are a bit of a fool after all.

[ She played with one of her bangs before flicking it away, moving her arms to cross over her chest. ]

Anyway, how do you like the Garden?

[snotbending.livejournal.com]

I'm no fool. I choose who I want to be around. They're twenty times better than you or your stupid Fire Nation lackeys.

[Hmph.] It's a bit boring though.

[bitterfire.livejournal.com]

[ Maybe only better than Mai. ]

Yes, incredibly. I miss the war.

[fierybluebird]

[Would jump, but it's Marco. So pure deadpan even though it can't be seen, he just grabs a small piece of flying metal wall carefully and holds it in flaming blue hands.]

Showing off or just practicing, eh?

[snotbending.livejournal.com]

[She's heard that voice before.]

Boredom. So just a bit of both.

[fierybluebird]

Ah fair enough. It's pretty quiet without classes or war now. Of course there's always the massive Hide-and-Go-Seek game.

[snotbending.livejournal.com]

I'd give that a shot, but I'd pretty much fail at that whole seeking bit.

[fierybluebird]

Not necessarily. Hide-and-Go-Seek works on the principle that you can't find people with your eyes.

[Luki's skipping down the hallways when she sees a piece of metal suddenly jut out from the wall way up ahead]

That was COOL!

[She tears off after the other girl to catch up]

Do it again! Do it again!
