[Toph feels the new presence on the ship, but she lets it go, figuring it's someone visiting another crew member. However, when the person keeps looking around, she figures she may go have a look.

So now, with Nami in the kitchen, Toph enters and stands at the door.]

Can I help you?

[mikangirl]

[Aha. She doesn't particularly like peering awkwardly through doorways on someone else's ship.]

I think you can, actually. We spoke a few days ago-- my name's Nami.

so sorry for the late

[bolder]

Oh, yeah! [Since they hadn't met in person, Toph didn't have the chance to get a read on her, so she's going in... blind. Har har.

She perks up now, acting a lot friendlier.]

Welcome to the Blue Fish.

no worries!

[mikangirl]

Thanks! Hopefully I won't take up too much of your time.

I needed a lighter metal, so I have some aluminium. [She unslings the small struts from her shoulder, letting the ends hit the ground with a light thunk.] Can you work with that?

[bolder]

[Toph waits, only smirking when it hits the floor. She makes a come here motion with her two fingers, and three pieces of the metal go zooming towards her, only stopping once they're a few inches above her hand.]

Tell me what you think.

[mikangirl]

[Okay, well then. She does flinch a little as the metal struts zoom towards Toph; it's a reminder of someone else and she could have done without. But meh. After a moment, she grins.

...and then remembers she's with a blind girl, gj Nami.]

I think you've got this covered.

I brought the wooden one with me. [She pulls that from her coat, but she'll wait until Toph asks for it. It feels rude to try giving them directly over without asking first.] It's three pieces that fit together.

[bolder]

[She walks over, avoiding the metal laying around, and reaches out for the wooden dohicky.]

Hand it over.

[mikangirl]

Here you go. [Three pieces of polished wood, all meant to fit together as a staff. She holds onto them until Toph has a grip, then lets go.]

If you can make it hollow, that'd be great. If not-- well, it'll be sturdier than the wooden one, anyway. [And she can do with a spare in a place where the powers that be seem to like stealing weapons.]

[bolder]

Hmm. [Toph takes her time feeling the wood out, grooves and shapes and the like. She flicks her finger, and a piece of the aluminum comes whizzing over to her hand. It's placed on top of one piece, quickly forming around it like a second skin.]

This'll be a lot lighter than the other one. Will the change in weight affect you at all?

[mikangirl]

[Whoa. Okay, she knew from Zuko about the bending thing, but it's pretty fascinating to see such a level of control.]

...uh. It probably would, yeah. But this is only the outer shell of the weapon; once it's done it'll be close to the right weight. I'll just have to practice with it a little to adjust.

[bolder]

[Toph nods in understanding.]

It'll be fine. If you've got more than this-- [She shoves some of the scrap with her bare foot.]-- I can try and make it denser for weight and strength.

But I want to know, what's going in the middle?

[mikangirl]

If I'm lucky and I can track anything remotely equivalent down? Technology that'll turn it into a weather staff.

...and if I'm not, I guess I'll just stare at it a lot and call the Atroma jerks.

[Yeah she's creating half a weapon in the hopes she can finish it one day.]

[bolder]

A weather staff? To what-- control it?

[She'd sound almost incredulous if she and her friends couldn't do that when they combine forces. Also space travel and magic.]

[mikangirl]

Sort of. More like... create its own smaller scale stuff and control that, instead. In weapon form, I guess it's kind of like throwing some wind or a lightning bolt at someone.

...or just taking a hot shower.

[bolder]

Oh, Avatar stuff.

[Toph please.]

Zuko can sort of do lightning stuff. If you have trouble getting the thing fixed, we could probably get him to help out when you point the staff a certain way.

[mikangirl]

[Snrk. Well, that brings up hilarious images.]

Avatar stuff...?

I thought Zuko was a firebender. [Though some fires do kick up their own lightning storms, so... makes sense, she guesses?] Huh.

[bolder]

In my world, the Avatar is the only person who can control all the elements-- water, earth, fire, and air. [Haha cycle order there.]

There are side skills to each one, too.

[mikangirl]

You can bend earth and metal, right? [Zuko's a tattletale.] I didn't know there was an Avatar, though. He sounds pretty powerful.

[And intimidating. And then one day Nami meets Aang and goes what the hell.]

[bolder]

Yup, I can, and I'm the best at it. [True story.

Toph actually laughs at the mention of Aang.]

Yeah, he can be when he needs to.

[mikangirl]

You know him personally, I take it.
