[ 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...]

[A beat of his own.] It looks like an incomplete rainbow.

[She grins wide, forgoing the sponge she was carrying in her hand and going right for a whole bucket. But first, she'll hop out of her wheelchair and move it away a bit. Sokka would probably be mad if she got his invention covered in paint.]

[...

No. No, that wall was not there the other day. Caesar isn't really curious about it, but he stops anyway. It was something different, at least.

...actually. It's kind of strange. And not colorful enough.]

[blessingone]

So it's more for fun rather than being a community art project, huh? Is it just the two of you?

[She turns to regard the cheerfully splattered wall. There are some patterns from when she's run her hands through the wet paint, but for the most part...]

I guess you're right.

[markofthebrave]

Want to help complete it?

pfff, let the awkward begin! it's funny, I was just thinking about these two the other day

[markofthebrave]

[Well, does your not!curiosity enable you to cross on over and check out the other side of the wall? Because that is where the splashing sound is coming from.]

[markofthebrave]

Are you going to be okay without the chair?

[This random passer-by elects to stop and look over this work of art; it's not many things that have made Temari smile of late but she finds it nearly impossible to resist the impulse as she watches.

Nearly impossible. She's not actually smiling. But she'd looking a bit less tense.]

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

[...Community art project?] Nope, it's just about having fun, brought to you completely by me and Katara.

So, you getting messy, or what?

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

[a note in the journal was all it took for her to wander out to see this...and she can't help grinning when she catches sight of this colorful display.]

[tvorcrash.livejournal.com]

I guess it wouldn't hurt to get my hands dirty. [Or hand, in this case, but whatever. Same metaphor.

He'll walk right over, taking some of the paint with his working hand as he passes it.] By the way, if you don't mind me asking, who are you? I'm Souji.

Me, too! Talk about good timing. XD

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

[Hmm. Well, it's not like he's in any rush to go anywhere, so it couldn't hurt. He'd have to pass by it either way, so if it doesn't turn out to be very interesting, it shouldn't be too difficult to extract himself.

He walks ahead slowly, then, glancing in that direction as he passes.]

[Iroh is wandering around town, just trying to learn his way around, but stops to marvel at the extremely odd spectacle, rubbing his chin in Iroh style]

My my, what in the world is this then? This was decidedly not here earlier today...

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[Even if Sanji wanted to escape, the wind is not on his side today - which means he's gripping that bridge like it's his last lifeline, to keep from floating freely at Mother Nature's mercy.

And what does he see while snarling obscenities under his breath but a wall!... and paint. An oddity, that, and he stares in bemusement while his legs hang high in the air]

... Did Toph-chan do this? [Unless someone else in this village can construct a slab of earth in the same manner]

[markofthewise]

[Yeah, Sokka is just going to stare and shake his head disapprovingly.]

And you say my art is bad.

[She doesn't reply immediately. Is that really worth getting her clothes covered in paint? Her distaste for technology means that she has to do the laundry by hand, too. She looks down at what she's wearing.]

[blessingone]

[And then she looks back up with a grin. She didn't really care for this dress, anyway, and the leftover effect of spending that event as Toph's little sister is that she feels free to be a little silly around her.]

I'll pick messy over what. [Coming over now!]

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

Sweet! Make something awesome, and if you want to try a different shaped wall, that can be arranged!

[She grins.]

[blessingone]

I can't say I've tried working with these kinds of shapes before -- you'd be the expert on that one!

[Let's see. How to approach this? ...Toph did say to use her hands, so she's going to dunk one hand in a blue bucket and one in a green bucket and proceed to smear these hands along the nearest part of the wall. She's really not thinking about how she'll be able to change colours later.]

[markofthebrave]

I'm Katara. [Beaming smile!] It's nice to meet you Souji.

[And she gestures to the wall with a grin.] Splash it on anywhere.

[markofthebrave]

[Well, should he venture far enough, he will find a paint-speckled Katara in the process of throwing a pot of blue over a patch of red.

...this is probably his last chance to run before awkward sets in.]

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

[Strategists are all about recognizing opportunities, so he'll just wait for the next one if he needs it. He crosses his arms, and watches for a moment.]

Painting?

[...even if he was more creative, painting wouldn't be his thing.]

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

[While she paints, Toph will continue creating shapes out of earth, getting more and more abstract as she goes. One of them looks remarkably like Appa, in fact.]

I'd ask what your favorite color is, but colors don't exactly do it for me, ya know.

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

[Hey, Toph knows that person! She turns around and grins emphatically.]

Hey, Gramps! Like it? It was Katara's idea, but I did all the hard work.
