When: Feb 22, afternoon

[Here's Toph's face, looking very serious. Like, super serious.]

Guys, I have a really important question I want to know the answer to.

[And a pause for dramatic effect.]

Has anyone actually been to jail yet? I mean, there is one, and we have robot police drone things. So what's the hold up? [She sounds almost disappointed. Toph really wants to break someone out, okay?]

Comments

[goodjob]

Yeah, incarceration ain't exactly my idea of a good time, but short of paying somebody to get locked up, you're kinda outta options.

[bolder]

I just asked if anyone was locked up yet. And of course it's not fun, that's not why I want to know.

[goodjob]

You're a weird kid, you know that? What's the jail obsession, anyway?

[bolder]

How is one question an obsession? [She gives the feed a sour expression.]

I want to know if it's as easy to break people out as I imagine it'd be. So just breaking myself out is boring when you think about it.

[goodjob]

Because it's about jail.

Why'd you imagine it'd be easy?

[bolder]

That's really stupid reasoning.

Why do you care?

[goodjob]

If kids're into things like jail, dying, getting real sick, getting real beat up, or war'n shit, they usually think about it a lot. Just my experience, though, I only raise five kids.

'Cause I'm nosy.

not sorry

[bolder]

Oh my god, lady, I'm pretty sure protection's a thing in most worlds.

[Completely off the subject now oops.]

bless u.

[goodjob]

[Fiona cracks up.]

Yeah, tell that to my parents. They're my siblings, smartass.

thank

[bolder]

You should have mentioned that in the first place. What the heck are people supposed to think?

[goodjob]

Whatever the fuck they want, I stopped giving a shit at fourteen.

You never answered the question. Why d'you think it'd be easy to break outta jail, here?

[bolder]

Maybe I didn't want to answer you.

[But she does now. She kinda likes this lady.]

I control earth and metal. It'd be like a test.

[goodjob]

Yeah, I kinda got that sense.

Earth and metal? So... you could break the bars, I guess. What about force fields, though? This place is pretty high tech, you may've noticed.

[bolder]

I've sorta noticed. [Now she does her trademark waving her hand in front of her eyes.]

Still, worth a shot!

[goodjob]

...What, you blind or something? [She's kidding.]

Why can't you get arrested yourself, then? Kinda skimping on the scientific method, here.

[bolder]

What? No! My eyes only see darkness just fine.

[Ha.] Again, boring, too easy.

[goodjob]

[She snorts.] Hilarious.

Oh, right, I get it. You wanna get in and out on your own.

[bolder]

No, get someone else out without being caught. Really, it's not hard to understand.

[goodjob]

May come as a fucking shock to you, but I don't break people outta jail real often. Haggling with bail bondsmen, I can tell you about, but not this.

I'm kinda guessing it's a hobby of yours though.

[bolder]

Yeah, that's boring.

[Toph shrugs, not really caring either way.] Not really. I wouldn't mind making it one, but the chances are few.

[goodjob]

Yeah, for twelve-year-olds.

Huh. Well, I ever need help with that, I'll come to you.

[bolder]

Nope, still boring for everyone ever.

Sure, I guess. You have a name?
