[OPEN] earth rumble yeaaaaa
Date & Time: Monday, March 18, 2:00 pm
Location: a small open area wedged between buildings just outside the Hold.
Characters: Toph Beifong (barefootbender) and you!
Summary: There was quite a lot of interest in Toph's earthbending, and she isn't going to pass up a chance to show off to everyone! Toph puts out a message to the network telling people where to go if they want to see (or if they wanna challenge her!), and everyone is invited. Snarkiness, blind jokes and amazing earthkaratemagic ensue. (Either prose or brackets are fine.)
Warnings: none anticipated
[Around lunchtime on March 18, the following video message is posted to the network:]
HELLO, fellow Transports! Today's your lucky day! I, Toph Beifong, greatest earthbending master who ever lived, teacher of Avatar Aang, have decided to take out some time to display my talent for the curious. I know some of you that I talked to a coupla weeks ago wanted to see, so here's your chance.
And more specifically... I'm gonna take some challengers! So if you think you can take me on, let's go! I'd like to see you try.
[The camera swings away from her face and down at the floor, where there's an incredibly intricate and detailed model of the streets outside of the hold, that appears to be made out of rock. A little stone figure of Toph is standing in an open area about 5 minutes away from the apartments.]
I found a little bit of space, so come to this spot. I'll be ready at about 2 pm.
A.
Toph told everyone 2 pm because she wanted a little time to get this area ready. It's actually pretty small, so it's really not ideal for the kind of enormous show she'd like to put on for everyone, but it'll do. As far as she can tell through her feet, this city stretches on for miles and miles and miles. It's amazing, really - even bigger than Ba Sing Se, and Ba Sing Se was enormous - and unlike Ba Sing Se, the earth below is almost entirely covered in rock and metal over that entire expanse of city. It's pretty crazy, this future stuff.
If you get there early enough, or maybe if you just happen to come across her, you'll find her lounging on the ground eating instant ramen out of a styrofoam cup, or squashing back down her "map," or clearing out chunks of broken asphalt and cinder block by sending them to the tops of the surrounding buildings with a swipe of her fist. She seems pretty focused on these little tasks.
B.
At 2 pm, whether people are there or not, she's ready. It's time for some exercise after sitting around for two weeks. She stretches, does some push ups and sit ups, and finally plants her feet flat on the ground. Thrusting her arms forward, a sheet of rock suddenly sprouts from the ground, and she turns about 30 degrees and does it again, until there's a ring around her.
Whether you just want her to show you some tricks, or you want to challenge her, it's best to just walk up and announce yourself!
...Otherwise you might get a sidelong, suspicious glance from her as she waits for you to say something, especially if you're a stranger or someone she's never met in person.

"Say... why're you so interested in bending, anyway?" she asked as she juggled. Hermione seemed like a pretty normal person, and while some curiosity seemed normal, she had been writing things down earlier.
no subject
She took her wand out of her sleeve and held out out. "This is my wand. You can hold onto it if you like." She was curious to see if Toph would be able to feel the magical energy. "It's made from ivy with a core of dragon heartstring. Each wand is unique to the wizard who owns it."
no subject
Although Toph can't quite tell that she's holding something out to her, she assumes so from her words and walks back over with a hand outstretched and finds it with her fingers.
"Dragon heartstring? Like from an actual dragon?"
no subject
She thought Harry was being silly at first when he showed discomfort at using a different wand, but now she knew better.
no subject
Toph feels the outside of the wand with her hands curiously. It's just a... stick, as far as she can tell. No magical affinity here - just earthbending.
"Actually... I guess I have no idea what the difference is between the two. Haha."
no subject
"You were kind enough to show me earthbending. I can try to show you some of my magic, if you like."
