Who: Toph and YOU potentially
Broadcast: Everyone ever
Action: Blue Fish!
When: August 19, late morning

[VIDEO;]
[A broadcast flickers on, and it's Toph! She's lounging on the weight bench in the cargo hold, lazily moving two fingers up and down. Occasionally the hand weights are caught in the side of the feed, following her hand motions.]

All right knuckle heads, here's the deal. There are shuttle races happening, and I don't mean the sissy "see who can reach the other ship first" nonsense. I mean the "go so fast your engine burns out and your teeth still are still vibrating when you're done" type. The proper type.

[Toph stops moving her hand, and there's a loud, metallic CLUNK in the background as the weight falls to the ship's floor. She stands up, a grin slowly creeping across her face. It's actually somewhat menacing...]

So, I wanna know who's up for some fun. We can make it interesting with bets. Money, things, favors, whatever floats your little boat. Let's see how many of you won't wuss out when you're given an actual challenge.

Make the transfers out to Toph Beifong.

I'm not lying!

...That's it? Really?

Are so!

And yeah! You could use some fun in your life, and that's more than enough reason.

Getting sick to my stomach is not fun, Toph.

I'm sorry, but I'm not going.

Audio

[bolder]

We'll see about that.

[save_the_souls]

I mean it, Toph.

I'm happy to root for you guys, but I don't want to go.

[A loud groan. Jeez, Spud, you party pooper.]

Ugh, fine. Have fun sitting on your butt being boring.

[THATS RIGHT. But oh good, he's relieved]

Only if you kick everyone's arses in the races.

[bolder]

Without you there, it might be more difficult... [She sounds almost sad. They both know it's bullshit.]

[Total bulllllshiiiit]

Uh huh. Sure.

You'll do great, I'm sure.

It means so much to have you believing in me, Allen. I don't know what I'd do otherwise!

[There's a pause where he rolls his eyes. Then he remembers she can't see it so he'll calmly explain like he does when he reads stuff aloud.]

That pause was for an eye roll.

[Oh my god, Allen. He's learning so quickly, and she's proud of him. All he gets in response is loud laughter.]
