[ Action ] .044

[markofthebrave]

[Should you be passing by the bridge between the clinic and the Item Shop on this fine, finally-a-break-from-the-heat afternoon, you will notice that there has been a certain change in the landscape. A large wall, seemingly made out of one solid chunk of earth has appeared by the riverbank and painted white. At varying points in the day there may also be some spheres, pyramids, inverted pyramids appearing beside the wall... and that white wall is on its way to becoming multicolored.

There by the wall is a large sheet and on it rest pretty much every container of water-soluble paint found in the Item Shop, mainly strong primary colors. There are balloons and small buckets and bowls, and just about everything you could want in order to throw paint at a white wall.

Random passerby, what do you do? Continue on your way and hope not to get splashed with mud, water, or paint? Stop to wonder at this strange work of 'art?' Or if you don't mind getting your hands dirty, there does seem to be more than enough paint...]

[Oh yes, she hears it.]

Is that a challenge, Sweetness?

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

[Hey, that makes it sounded even cooler than it is!]

Yeah, sure did! They're the best teachers around.

[markofthebrave]

Nice! [And Katara sets to on her own section of wall.]

[generalflirt]

I daresay it is, Toph-chan!

[THIS FACE]

[blessingone]

How did you manage that?

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

[Caesar reaches for one of the small bowls and dips it into a container of red paint. He looks at the wall for a moment before tossing the paint onto it.

He tilts his head. Hmm...]

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

[Well...it was mostly an accident, but...she'll downplay that bit.]

I ran away from home one day and ended up in a cave by my house, and that's where I met them. We understood each other because they were blind, like me. So I just followed what they did, and ta-da. Best earthbending lessons ever.

[blessingone]

You're some lucky they were friendly. But I guess it worked out for the best.

[Hmm, this wall could use some more colours. Maybe a little pink. While she's reaching for a bucket of pink, she asks:] Why were you running away from home?

[She doesn't sound particularly concerned about the running away, though -- she's expecting something normal, like refusing to clean one's room and having an overreaction that comes with being a kid, like it sounds like Toph was at the time.]

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess you're right. I don't know if they'd be so friendly to someone who wasn't an earthbender.

[And Fenimore's suspicion would be right--Toph didn't have some big, major reason for running away from home. Not until she met Aang, at least.]

I just didn't always like doing what my parents said. Even when I was little.

[markofthebrave]

[And Katara, expecting such a response, dodges.

It goes SPLAT on the wall behind her.]

Ha! You missed. Try again.

[markofthebrave]

[No more words! This is not a bending war, but Katara's had enough training in the past year and a half to be plenty fast without it. She dips her hand in the yellow paint and lobs some at Toph!]

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

[Oh, it is so on, you guys.

Well, if Katara isn't going to use her bending to her advantage, Toph won't either--much as she'd like to. Instead she ducks before that yellow paint can hit her and she goes running to scoop up a glob of paint herself.

She's lobbing it right at you, Masaomi.]

[blessingone]

Still, I guess you don't have to worry about that now, being the world's greatest earthbender.

And you wouldn't be the first to run away like that. Thyra and I tried it when we were kids...but we only got as far as next door.

[markofthewise]

[... oh. It got on the wall. It is kind of... neat looking. But he tries throwing another handful at Katara anyway.]

[generalflirt]

[And he takes it like a pisser. Well, he tries to dodge, but he prioritizes re-arming over ducking. And now with a new blob of green in hand, incoming for Toph]

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

Yup! You've got that right.

[And just to punctuate it, she bends a mini-badger mole out of the ground in front of her.]

Who's Thyra?

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

Nothing like making a mess. Why do you think kids play in mud?

[blessingone]

[Woah. She'll pause in her painting to take a closer look at the badger-mole. ...Yeah, if that's what a badger mole looks like, she'd definitely call that a monster.]

She's my younger sister. That is, not by much -- we're twins, actually. I was just born first. [A pause, and her expression grows somewhat weirded-out.] Though, I guess there's more of a difference now. [If Thyra were to come to Luceti from the same point in time as Fenimore, she'd have more than a year on her. That is weird.]

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

[They're just misunderstood!]

You're a twin? Sweet! [But she can follow Fenimore's train of thought.] I guess it's not quite the same for me, but it was weird to come here and have Katara and especially Sokka be so much older than they were back home. [She screws up her face a bit.] I feel like the only kid around these days.

[markofthebrave]

[Grin.] No idea. Maybe the same reason that kids play in the snow?

[markofthebrave]

[She glances at him.]

That's it?

[markofthebrave]

[Jumping to the side! Some of it may tag onto her arm, but most of it splatters on the wall.]

[markofthebrave]

[Ha! And better watch out for another one from the left!

...then again, two against one isn't really fair. Katara bends down to grab up some more paint and throw it in Masaomi's direction.]

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

[And she takes those paint blobs like a man, thank you very much! Plus, not like she cares how she looks. She just wants to get the other two as messy as possible.

While Katara is throwing her paint ball at Masoami, Toph jumps over and scoops some up to throw at the waterbender herself.]

[tvorcrash.livejournal.com]

[A small chuckle.] I see...I see.

[He'll start completing the rest of this messy rainbow he plastered onto the wall. He certainly looks like he's enjoying himself, given that small grin on his face.]
