[voice]

It's not like anyone I know is going to come here, anyway. Not again.

But if you want to talk, here I am.

[ ooc: Voice/video/action is all good -- you can find Toph at the teashop or in the square. Anything welcome! ]

[wasagift]

[creeping up behind her like a creeper]

He's coming.

action;

[beifongbandit]

[ Toph is surprised. She wasn't watching for anyone creeping up behind her. Considering how many people are in the City right now, there's a bit of a crowd anyway. She stiffens in surprise. ]

Who's coming? Who are you?

[ So many vibrations to sort out. Toph doesn't bother to turn towards River, trying to feel her out by foot. ]

[wasagift]

It's an endless cycle. He leaves and he returns. He dies and is reborn. All you have to do is wait.

[peering closely]

You don't like sugar very much, do you?

action

[firstgradephilosophy]

[As a representative of the Upper Tree Chapter of the G.R.O.S.S. Club, he feels it is his absolute duty to do something about the female operative on the other side of this square.

Plus, she looks a little like Suzie, with the shape of the back of her hair and all.

He sneaks up as quietly as is possible considering the difficult terrain and upon reaching what he feels is a strategically sound but well-ranged position, opens fire with his trusty water pistol.]

action; you, sir or madam or other, are amazing.

[beifongbandit]

[ Someone is throwing water on her. Toph isn't even sure what to think about this at first -- did someone spill a bucket? Is this Sugar Queen's way of saying hello? She shifts her stance and "looks" for the culprit.

It's a kid throwing water at her. She grins a little. Maybe he should get a little hello back! So she rumbles the earth under his feet a little. ]

action; why thank you

[firstgradephilosophy]

[A-ha! The operative is suitably inoperative, standing still under the sheer superiority of his att-]

Woah! [Luckily, years of training in the Avoiding Pouncing Tiger Style have given him the reflexes he needs to not lose his balance for more than a moment. Apparently this land is prone to earthquakes. He runs to take a more suitable position and opens fire again.]

[teashop action]

[fluttershyly]

Um... hello?

[Remember that horsebird, Toph? Yeah.]

I'm so very sorry to bother you, but may I stay in here for a moment? It's so busy outside...

[teashop action]

[beifongbandit]

Oh hey, it's the horsebird! I was wondering if I'd see you again. Sure, sure, stay a while.

[teashop action]

[fluttershyly]

Thank you ever so much. It's never this crowded in Ponyville.

action;

[transgress]

Well look who we have here. A familiar face- fortune must be smiling upon me.

[Azula saunters toward Toph, easy, breezy, and so far not setting anything on fire.]

action;

[beifongbandit]

[ The biggest of eyerolls. ] It figures the one person I didn't want to see would show up. What do you want, Princess Crazypants?

[Action] Toooooph~

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[Merlin isn't done being fascinated by this place yet, and knowing he'll probably get back home in a couple of days he's more than happy to take advantage of the free time. So he's wandering, and looking at things, and passes through the square.

He's not particularly paying that much attention, so he might walk into you if you don't pay attention either. Careful.]

[Action] hello~!

[beifongbandit]

[ Toph would like to have it on the record that he bumped into her, not the other way around. ]

Hey Lost Boy, watch where you're going!

action;

[kisspokepoke]

[ Guess who just wandered into the teashop? Come on, guess.

Oh fine, she'll give herself away. About immediately after entering the teashop, in fact! ]

Wow, I can't believe this place hasn't changed a bit! [ She practically skips in, looking around and admiring the inside. But since she doesn't see him, she calls out instead. ] Uncle Iroooh!

action;

[beifongbandit]

[ Oh hey, it's someone Toph can actually stand! On good days, anyway! Toph comes around from behind the counter. ]

Hey, Somersaults. Iroh isn't here anymore.

action;

[everlastingturmoil]

-- Toph, right?

action;

[beifongbandit]

--Jet?

[ Wow, she really didn't expect to see him here. ]

[voice]

[eyeofthetiger]

You sound like a kid. What are you going to know?

[voice]

[beifongbandit]

Plenty. I made a guide to this place. Guess you don't need it, though.

[ Because you know eeeeeeverything, is her attitude. ]

[notsobendy]

Are you saying you don't know me? I'm kind of unforgettable.

[beifongbandit]

Snoozles! You came back! [ :D ]

[bequiet_hescreamed]

You're a bit... rougher than I remember.

[beifongbandit]

...I don't know what you're talking about.

[ All my friends left and I am angst. ]

action; late sunday afternoon

[o_tea_p]

[The moment Iroh recognizes his surroundings, he takes a deep breath and smiles. It still surprises him that he can forget this place when he goes home. He has never been anywhere more memorable.

He immediately turns his steps in the direction of the Jasmine Dragon, hoping that Toph was still there and would have a nice cup of tea waiting.]

action; :D!!!

[beifongbandit]

[ The place is still as busy as it's been all weekend, and Toph has been entertaining Sokka and Ty Lee and some other people in-between serving and keeping any fighters out of the place. People got pretty crazy around visitor weekends.

But there was a tread she couldn't miss, no matter how long it'd been since she heard it. She stopped and practically threw her table's stuff to Rapunzel so she could greet the old man at the door. ]

Iroh! [ Toph might not be one much for friendly physical displays of affection, but you, old man, are getting the best hug of your life. ]
