[voice/action]

[ Surprisingly, Toph's device is still working, despite sand abuse. She's sitting around near the camp when she feels some familiar footsteps... not particularly close. ] Wait... is that idiot really wandering around the desert on foot? [ She shouts: ] Hey, Tyr! Stay put. [ Who knows if he'll hear her. ]

Char, Bad Jokes, Runaway, Bitey... the rest of you I don't have nicknames for... I've got to go rescue somebody. I'll be back later.

[ ooc: Okay, so Toph is leaving her lovely caravan to find Tyr and a few other people... Rita, Riou, basically anyone who wants to join in! Feel free to have your own threads and threadjack and mingle, etc. She'll meet back up with the caravan group later. ]

...Char? Bad Jokes? Runaway and Bitey?

[ Looks around at everyone else with him. Which is which. This is curious... ]

[blackshadow]

She likes to give stupid names to people. I'm surprised she actually called me by name...

[everhoping]

I was actually curious which of us got which nickname...

[ Tyr is Tyr...! ]

[blackshadow]

Maybe you're "Bad Jokes"...

[blackshadow]

[ His ears aren't sharp enough to pick up that little "idiot" but, but he does hear her yelling. He turns around and shouts back: ] —Toph? What do you want?

[beifongbandit]

[ She's going to yell back as she heads in his direction. Not... really in any particular hurry. ] What are you doing, Suspect?

[blackshadow]

We're trying to find our friends. [ Looking back at her other group. ] Who were those people?

TOPH!? [ Aang's as close to the screen as he can get. ]

Where are you? We got separated from everyone and Appa's been flying for hours! [ He sounds just a little bit desperate, but he continues doing his best to bend the sand away from Appa's eyes. ]

Are you okay? [ It seems a little lame to add, but he does it anyway. ]

[beifongbandit]

Twinkletoes, there you are!

I'm... [ She rolls her eyes. ] In the desert, I don't know. Somewhere near a really big building that's mostly fallen to pieces. Are you okay?

[video]

[100yearsgone]

I'm okay. We're okay.

Can you earthbend or something? Maybe I'd be able to see something like that up here. [ He can airbend through the sand clouds. Toph can't be that far, the desert just looks bigger than it actually is. That's what Aang is telling himself. ]

[A day or two before Rita dies! Rita lives on the beach, but the beach is not usually this hot and dry. She's lazing around somewhere, taking a break.]

Ugh...How are you so excited?

[anunluckypenny]

You're hanging out with someone named Bitey?

audio;

[beifongbandit]

He's a vampire apparently. I think his real name is something else.

audio;

[anunluckypenny]

Aw, that's too bad. "Bitey" would be a hilarious name for a vampire.

...Unless the vampire didn't think it was funny.

[a_parting_word]

Don't wander off on your own, will you?

[ video ]

[beifongbandit]

I'm just going to go rescue an idiot. Don't worry about it.

audio:

[charring]

Stay safe, Toph.

audio:

[beifongbandit]

I will. I won't be gone too long.

Re: audio:

[charring]

And...Bitey? Really? [This would be the sound of Charlie laughing.]

[boutant]

I got "Bad Jokes"?

... Well, it's better than "Shorty".

[beifongbandit]

I'd rather pick nicknames over things that matter, like being unfunny.

[boutant]

I'm better at sarcasm, I think.

[signatures]

Are you sure that's a good id--

[ Aaaand she's gone.

Voice: ]

I imagine Charlie will want you to check in with her when you've made it somewhere safe.

voice;

[beifongbandit]

Why wouldn't it be a good idea? You guys take care of Charlie. I'll trust you with that.

[signatures]

Right. They'll do their best, I suppose.
