Who: Toph and YOU!
Broadcast: Everyone ever
Action: That too-- Hospitality Deck!
When: Before the 6/14 shuffle

[ACTION AND VIDEO]

[For whatever reason, it's eerily quiet, and the sound of two bare feet hitting the metal floor of the hospitality deck can be heard. (it's really for dramatic effect, who are we kidding) The owner, a small girl of fourteen, stares into space (ha!) as she takes a few slow, deliberate steps. After a moment, she crouches down and places her hand on the floor, pauses, then speaks. Or yells. Whatever.]

Hey!! Someone tell me what's going on! This isn't another weirdo spirit thing is it? I'd hit my quota for the month already!

[She huffs in annoyance, straightening up. Now she's quieter, talking more to herself.] What's with this weird place?

[savedtheworld]

Um... I'm not sure. Sokka's the one who knows most of the things.

...Oh! And, you should have an augment on you! It teaches you about space and what you're gonna do on the spaceship!

[bolder]

We're doomed. [Deadpan.]

Hmm... I guess I'm a pilot? [Said like she doesn't believe it either.]

[savedtheworld]

A... a pilot?? Are you sure you got that right? [Sorry Toph, he knows you can do a lot with your feet but

it's freaking space]

crying

[bolder]

It's the first thing that popped into my head, okay? Trust me, I'm feeling the same as you right now.

[savedtheworld]

Well... um... I believe in you?

But... mayyybe you could use someone nearby whenever you try flying...

[bolder]

What? Don't you trust me? [Ahahaha.... haaaa.]

[savedtheworld]

I trust you! Really! But I also trust... anyone who could help you?

[bolder]

[Huff.] Yeah, yeah, I know. How likely is it I'd hit something out here anyway?

[savedtheworld]

Um... a little likely? I'm not sure. But sometimes I see rocks and stuff out there... and there's the other ships, too.

[bolder]

Wait you mean actual rocks? How can I get one?

[savedtheworld]

I don't know! We can't just walk out into space. But sometimes I see rocks floating out there. ...Like the one that fell and Sokka made his sword from!

[bolder]

Can't you bring one over? I want more of that stuff! [She pulls back her sleeve to show Aang her bracelet.]

[savedtheworld]

I'll... see what I can do? [He looks on sheepishly.] I'm sure I'll find a way!

[bolder]

Cool! [A big grin.] So what've you been doing here?

[savedtheworld]

Oh, you know. Making friends, learning about outer space, looking for fun things to do. Normal me things!

[bolder]

Yeah? So what'd you find?

[savedtheworld]

Well there's some stations out in space and one of them had a lot of really fun games. And another place had a thing that make any place with holograms!

[bolder]

You mean I can see anything I want at all?? [Mock excitement goes here. Ignoring that the thing in her head told her what a hologram was.]

[savedtheworld]

Yeah! Even... [Then the light dies down as it hits him.]

...Sorry!

[bolder]

Man, you guys still fall for that stuff. Guess some things will never change.

[savedtheworld]

I guess not, aside from it being in space now!

[bolder]

Heh. [Oh, Aang.] No really, what's your favorite thing about the holo-dohicky?

[savedtheworld]

Well... I was able to get it to show me places from home. Like... the air temple.

It was really nice.

[bolder]

[Awww baby.] Yeah, it sounds like it! I know I was a fan of the western one when we were there.

[savedtheworld]

That one's really great, isn't it? I hope you get to see the rest someday... and see how really great they are!
