At least there's no elevator music...

[thespaceopera]

[At least two weeks have passed since the Drift Fleet passengers woke up on this strange wing of the Marsiva... Some new passengers have even joined the group instead of being Shuffled off to a fleet ship! The large monitor in the central room remains quiet for now, so how is everyone holding up?

Have you been relaxing? Enjoying the Earth media? If you can even remember them, how have Calibrations been treating you? Has anyone started getting a little stir-crazy?

Don't worry... This ship has no shortage of mysteries, and you'll be seeing a few more soon.]

[You see, here's the thing. It's not that Nea is freaked out by the concept of powers that'd get you through doors. His "family" was full of that stuff. Joyd could walk through walls, Road made her own dream doors, several other Noahs could just blow the door up (and would) if they felt like it. The clan was full of freaky powers and that's just commonplace for his life.]

[However, what was a bit more freaky was the fact that he was a guy from the 1860's and this woman just barged into the room, making a big hole in the process, while his pants were half down and was trying to figure out what the hell is this underwear he's apparently wearing-]

[So uh yeah, have him being VERY surprised and falling the hell over because he's not even that coordinated in this body and his pants are down]

- What the fuck?!

Get out! I said I was getting dressed!

[bolder]

[She just leans against the inside doorframe, not really caring a damn bit.]

So? [Ha ha. Yeahhhhh.]

[save_the_souls]

[ . . . ]

[Yeah you know what?]

[After a moment of staring in disbelief and WISHING he could use his powers right now to take this woman out, "Allen" suddenly falls limply over completely like some sort of puppet that's just lost it's controller. Screw this, he can try to figure out what's going on later]

[bolder]

[And Toph just yawns and waits for Allen to come back. She's got time.]

[save_the_souls]

[It'll take a moment, since Allen had been asleep before. But soon enough he'll be stirring awake] Nnh...

[As he starts to move, he opens his eyes and notices Toph there...looking very much down at him] Toph...?

[Why is she here? And why is he on the ground? And most of all, why do his pants feel like they're...]

[........]

EH??!?!?!

[bolder]

About time, Spud. I'm getting hungry, so I want breakfast.

[She leans back, clearly waiting... again.]

Put your pants back on.

[A moment later:] Also your demon friend came out to play.

1/2

[save_the_souls]

It's Allen!

[And damn right he's pulling his pants back on. What in the world-]

[save_the_souls]

[And then he hears that last part]

- What?

[bolder]

Yeah. He must've been shocked he was in space or something. [She's just... so chill about this right now.]

Whatever he is, he's really bad at being you. [Toph can't help but grin, a little reassuring and a lot smug.]

I called you Spud a couple time, and he didn't correct me even once.

[save_the_souls]

He-

[Shit. He is not so chill about this]

You knew it was him, but you went into this room anyway?!

[bolder]

[Toph narrows her eyes, really not liking his tone.]

Yeah, I did. I wanted to see if he was up to anything!

[save_the_souls]

Toph! That was reckless! What if he had attacked you?! Noahs are incredibly powerful and dangerous!

[bolder]

So am I! You guys obviously don't share information, so he doesn't know what I can do!

[She's ruffled, both from his reaction and his attitude towards her. Even if they are justified.]

[save_the_souls]

[he stares at her for a moment]

[Then, he reaches over to his metal bedpost, grabbing hold of one of the rails with his left hand. A simple yank with the hand rips it off the bed. Then, he squeezes the rail in his hand until it shatters in his hand.

[tosses it on the ground between them, letting a bit of silence linger between them. It's clear from his heart rate- he wasn't even trying to use his power.]

If this happens again, you get Ino and Crowley. Or anyone else you trust could help. You don't put yourself alone in the same room as a Noah.

Please, Toph.

[bolder]

[Toph's getting irritated, both at his irritation with her and the way he's handling it. Never mind the fact that she know's he probably right and he's perfectly valid in his reaction towards her. Actually he's handling it very damn well.

Sadly, this is Toph and none of that really means anything to her right now. She glares at him, immediately turning to the door.]

Fine. Consider me gone. [With a flick of her hand, his door is pried open and she leaves, at least civil enough to slam it shut behind her.]
