[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.
