⊕ 08: Iron

[Toph is sitting on the Plane and leaning back against Appa, who is curled up and munching some hay. Toph is fiddling with a chunk of what looks like some kind of black metal. She's holding it between her hands and metalbending it into various shapes--a star, a square, a snake, and a miniature Appa. Appa lets out a rumble.]

I know, I'm still working on it. Space earth is weird.

...Nice yak!

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Yak? He's not a yak. He's a flying bison.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Doesn't look like a bison. Bison are big shaggy brown guys that live in the west and get farmed for beef. That looks like a yak with an arrow.

What'cha up to?

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

I'm just bored since none of my friends are around, so I figured I'd practice some metalbending.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

You can do that to Metal? [:O] I can't...

[mercwamouth]

Space earth? Isn't that an oxymoron?

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

I guess, but what else am I supposed to call it?

[mercwamouth]

Space rock? Space metal?

[Patting Appa's muzzle] What're you up to?

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Killing time, really. No one's been around. Now even Aang is gone, so Appa's been lonely.

[ram-of-gold.livejournal.com]

[Have an Old Shion!] Practicing are you?

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Something like that. Gotta be able to bend it into whatever I want, right? It's all about precision.

... [fidgetfidget. he's hesitant about approaching, as usual.]

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

I know you're there, Zuko.

[Appa greets Zuko with a groan.]

[firedprince.livejournal.com]

[Eep.]

Uh... hi.

[He bows to Appa, but doesn't come any closer. Lol.]

[Observing from fifteen or so feet away-- don't know if you can sense him watching, but. If only the rest of you were so willing to do live demonstrations.]

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

[Doesn't look up and keeps playing around with the space rock.] I know you're there. You know, it's kind of stalkerish to watch people without their knowledge.

[solvethemystery.livejournal.com]

[A slight shrug.] Clearly it is not without your knowledge if you know I am here, is it?

[peacefulways.livejournal.com]

You look bored.

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

[afjdalfjkla.] Twinkletoes! [Jumps up.] Man, where have you been?

Not that I was worried or anything. Just, you know, Appa was getting lonely.

[Appa will be pouncing on you now, Aang~]

[peacefulways.livejournal.com]

Haha, sorry. I've been around... I'm still trying to figure out how this all works, I guess.

[laughs at that! typical Toph~ oh, hey, and is pounced on by Appa~ laughs some more and hugs the bison's giant nose]

Hey, buddy! Don't worry, I didn't forget about you.

[guywaboomerang.livejournal.com]

Hey Toph, Appa!

What's up? Where have you...

[Sees the space metal]

That's not my sword is it?

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

[GUESS WHO IS SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU BUT IS GOING TO TRY NOT TO SHOW IT?]

Where have I been, where have you been? Last I remember is you were making maps.

No, it's the piece you gave me, dummy.

[guywaboomerang.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it turned out to be a lost cause. This place doesn't seem to stay put long enough to make a map. Plus it's impossible to find a direction. There's a lot of cool places, though.

Oh, right, that. Is Appa just here as a model or was he getting a little stir-crazy?
