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!

[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.]

[renzokukens.livejournal.com]

You did more than just 'walking' back there.

[snotbending.livejournal.com]

Oh! I whistled too.

[renzokukens.livejournal.com]

Right. Enough with the games.

[snotbending.livejournal.com]

I still don't see what you're implying.

[renzokukens.livejournal.com]

... You did something with the walls. I saw it.

[snotbending.livejournal.com]

No, I mean I really can't see it. What happened to the walls?

[renzokukens.livejournal.com]

You were moving them.

[snotbending.livejournal.com]

Did it at least look cool?

[Son of a-] Er, I can't move walls.

[renzokukens.livejournal.com]

You misplaced the walls. Go back and fix it, or you're being sent up to speak with the Headmaster.

[Toph sighed melodramatically. This guy was just like Katara! Total killjoy. She stomps around him, stomping all the way back to where she messed up the walls. A few minutes later, the metal scraped back into place, just like new again.

Stomp stomp back.] There. all fixed.

[renzokukens.livejournal.com]

[Squall went around her and looked around the corner to scan the metal walls. Just like new. He raises a brow and turns back to face her, folding his arms over his chest.]

... How did you do that?

[snotbending.livejournal.com]

It's called Metalbending. I invented it. It's just like Earthbending.

[Well, it looks like she's going to have to explain this.] Processed metal has earth in it right? Well, I can bend metal like I can bend earth, or sand. It's an innate ability I have.

. . .



Cadet Toph Bei Fong then.

[snotbending.livejournal.com]

[Blink blink blink... then a smug look. She crosses her arms over her chest.]

Clearly you've heard of my awesome.

[renzokukens.livejournal.com]

[Squall tries not to roll his eyes and just lifts a brow.]

As your Commanding Officer - it's my job to know who you are.
