[ 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...]



((OOC: Threads will be answered by Katara, banditsblindly, or both! Threadjacking strongly encouraged! (Feel free to meet up with others or come in groups! For the inspiration of this post go to 2:21) Have fun!))

[A puzzled looks drops onto Toph's face.] Y'know, big hair creatures, long tails, claws? Blind as a bat? ...They lived near my house.

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

[So here's this earthbender who's been practicing new shapes, pretty much ignoring Katara and--whatever the heck it was she was doing with--

Masaomi?

...Okay, yeah, time to make her appearance. So she meanders over, right in the middle of their war zone.]

...What the heck are you doing?

[markofthebrave]

Well, that's how I painted it white, yeah.

[She splashes on some red.] But I thought it'd be more fun to do the rest like this.

[markofthebrave]

Sure they are. [Or you could just dive head first into a bin of bright scarves and pull out the most multicolored one of all... just to be admired. Of course.

But she dips into her blue and whirls it around, creating a whirl of splatter on a green surface.]

[generalflirt]

[Actually. He doesn't notice Toph before he's thrown his next blob of paint. So there's a projectile of green-blue goop being thrown at her head]

[markofthebrave]

You think so? [She wasn't sure people would have liked it... but she'd hoped they would.]

Well, maybe we can set it up someplace else and announce it so people will know it's there. We've still got a lot of wall to cover...

[markofthebrave]

[Katara. Grins.

And steps out of the way to allow Jilly clear access.]

[markofthebrave]

We don't have any paintbrushes. If you want to get detailed, use your fingers.

[markofthebrave]

[Oh -- crap.

And Katara drops the paint in her hands and makes a grab for the paint heading towards Toph with her bending.

IS SHE IN TIME?!]

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

[No. No, Katara, you are not in time.

And the paint splats right into the side of Toph's head.

A moment passes before the eruption.]

What did you do that for?

[Oh, you guys are gonna get it now.]

[generalflirt]

....Not my intention!!

[This.

This does not. Bode well]

[markofthebrave]

[...pffff. OK, this situation is so horrible that it has become hilarious. Toph will probably pick up on the suppressed laughter in Katara's tone.]

He was aiming at me, Toph.

[Hmm. To bend the paint off or just... invite Toph to join in? Sadly, her mood is more conciliatory than mischievous at the moment. She reaches out a hand and starts bending off the green paint.]

We were having a paint fight.

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I noticed.

[And she doesn't want to join in. Throwing around liquidy goop was Katara's gig. Doesn't stop her bending the earth around her to spray dirt like a sprinkler on the both of them, though.]

[markofthewise]

My fingers!? [He stares down at his hands. His beautiful hands. His hands that he crafts masterpieces with.]

I'm not sure finger-painting is really a me thing.

[generalflirt]

[Aaaah what- Masaomi doesn't bother to evade, instead he just shielfs his eyes because dirt in there would be awkward]

[markofthebrave]

Toph!

[She also just raises her arms to block the dirt, but considering that she's been getting paint-splattered all day, some of the dirt sticks on her.]

Oh, gross.

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

What? It's just earth, Katara. [Toph loves to be covered in it, personally.]

Besides, you totally deserve it.

[generalflirt]

[And it's stuck to him too. Ick]

Ah that's... certainly a new look.

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

[she doesn't hesitate to plan something out or pause to contemplate what would accent what they already have.

Fun was fun, and that was all that mattered.

She finds one spot that is currently bare and seeming to be in great need of a swipe of green and sets to with gusto.]

[blessingone]

[It doesn't sound like any creatures she knows of, but from the general description:] You learned this from monsters?

[markofthebrave]

It's dirt and you walked right in the middle of our fight!

[...]

In fact, if you ask me... you're asking for it.

[Do you hear the growing mischief in her tone, Toph? Are you scared yet?]

[markofthebrave]

[...you know what? Enough of this.

Katara flicks the red paint she has in a can in his direction. (Not bending. Just flinging.)]

[markofthewise]

[ON HIS NICE CLOTHES TOO.]

Hey! What was that for!?

[markofthebrave]

You're already dirty so now you might as well join in.

[Relax, bro. It's not like you do your own laundry.]

[markofthewise]

[He glares at her, then stares at the bucket of paint in his hands. He scoops some up in his hand, then instead of flinging it at the wall, lobs it at her instead.]
