Okay, City, here's the thing. The newbies from my world have brought in something called pro-bending, and I want in. You need an earthbender, a firebender, and a waterbender, and I figure I can count on Char for the fire part. Sorry, Stutters, but I saw her first. Anyway, I'm recruiting someone with water powers. You don't have to call it bending, you just have to be good at it.

Come by the Jasmine Dragon if you're interested. If you can hold your own in a fight, you're in.

[ Yes, Toph. Show all these teenagers who are older than you. ]

Try it! It's a brownie sundae.

[othersdie]

You have interesting ways of entertaining yourself.

[Korra hesitantly takes a bite...and does her best not to wince. Way. Too. Sweet. She swallows quickly and smiles at Rapunzel.]

It's...very sweet.

[tangledintower]

...too sweet? Sorry...I can get you something else if you want...

[sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiding in next to]

So, are you ready for this? The second coming of the Fire Ferrets.

[griiiin, because of course her being an airbender now doesn't phase him.]

[zipperbent]

Stutters, Toph? Seriously?

[ Toph scuffs her foot on the floor and is quiet for a moment. She can feel that hurt. She doesn't blame Korra too much. Water Avatar, cut off from water? Aang would have gone insane cut off from air. ]

[ She coughs. ] Well, new world, new rules, right? Couldn't you adapt to take a waterbender spot or something? I want to be able to say I beat two Avatars.

[ She grins. ]

[beifongbandit]

Well, I can't entertain myself with boring things. I like doing what I'm good at.

[beifongbandit]

I'm sure it will be entertaining. Or dangerous! Hopefully both.

[beifongbandit]

I'm still deciding. You need to come up with another amusing characteristic.

[othersdie]

And that's fighting. Understood.

[Not that he's concerned or anything.]

[tangledintower]

As long as nobody gets killed, I'm okay with both! Sometimes a bit of danger is fun!

[zipperbent]

You're making me sound like a one-trick poodle pony.

Re: action;

[Korra screws up her nose as she thinks about this.]

How would that work, though? The rules say you can only bend the water you're given. You can't exactly give someone air.

[anatural]

[Talking with Toph and the others has given Korra enough to think about that the smile she gives him is free and easy.]

You bet I am. This place won't know what hit it.

[Korra feels like she kicked a puppy. Ack!]

No, it's fine! We don't really have a lotta sweets where I'm from. Kinda hard to grow sugar in the ice.

[beifongbandit]

And you're good at being quiet and paperwork, so I guess those are your hobbies.

[beifongbandit]

I'm pretty sure that killing someone is against the rules. It wouldn't be much of a game if you could only play it once.

[othersdie]

Being quiet, maybe, but paperwork is a necessary evil. I prefer gardening and reading.

[beifongbandit]

Well, the earthbending still needs work, so it's one trick for now. I could call you Poodlepony!

action;

[beifongbandit]

[ Toph will help her ponder. ]

Maybe you could put a time limit on it? Like you could only bend for a minute at a time, or something.

[beifongbandit]

I like the dirt part, but I don't see much payoff.

[tangledintower]

Exactly!

Oh, this is gonna be fun to watch!

action;

[tangledintower]

Ohhh...that makes sense. I can understand not being fond of sweets if you don't have them a lot.

I really can bring you something else, though, if you'd like.

[othersdie]

Getting an exotic flower to bloom can be a challenge. I like that.
