step two

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.

[ jade has no idea what the hell earthbending is - she's sort of just assuming "telekinesis" here. the challenge in toph's voice has her half-smiling, though. ]

Count me in.

Are you sure this is a good idea?

Nope, sorry. "Space" and "flying" are two of the things I'm the very best at.

[ but it's amicable. ]

I'm gonna need... two favors for every race I win.

There have been a lot of better ideas! For example: every single one of them that doesn't end up with you crashing into a meteor and getting yourself seriously hurt.

You've had help from the autopilot!

Ugh!

[ katara will just... huff this at the empty feed, here, before turning her communicator off and going to skulk in frustration around her bunk.

forty-five or fifty minutes later, though, she'll be subtly on the hunt for toph. yo girl where you at. ]

[Allen ain't getting into those shuttles while racing. He wouldn't be any help and he's prone to motion sickness anyway. But he can still show team spirit!]

Go Blue Fish!

EH?!

But you don't need a medic there! I'd just be extra weight...!

[Says the very underweight guy]

AWW YEAH! Time to show the obvious superiority of the Blue Fish. Kick all their butts, Beifong style!

[Meanwhile, he'll be quietly setting up his own little gambling ring. Gotta make money while you've got the chance.]

...Then I might just throw up from motion sickness.

Shuttle races?

[Oh yes. Oh yes, Clay's interest is immediately piqued. He steps off the treadmill of his own ship, which is currently the only form of exercise equipment they have, and slings a towel around his neck as he grins down at the device.]

Sign me up! Racing's one of the things I'm best at back home.
alwayscomeback: (But I have seen the same)
