Open to all! Dated before the barrier goes funny.

The girl making her way through the city probably wasn't anyone's image of Toph Bei Fong, and certainly not the image of the statue standing near the police station. She was small, verging on scrawny (an effect compounded by oversized clothing), face marked with at least a couple of layers of dirt. In that clothing, her features obscured, she might even have been taken for a boy -- were it not for the heavy braid trailing down her back.

Frankly, Toph didn't mind the whole arrangement. The makeshift disguise let her explore the city pretty much as she pleased -- or at least the parts she was currently interested in seeing. No one paid much attention to a street urchin, and there were some benefits to being blind; it tended to make others look away, and by the time they thought something of a blind girl wandering around the city by herself, Toph was gone.

So far, she had a good thing going, except for the lack of idol worship.


((ooc: Pick a setting option. Feel free to pose in with whatever your character is doing in that area, and I'll pose back off of you with whatever Toph is up to. Glad to work out anything in advance -- just PM me or poke me on Plurk!))

A. Toph is in the less well-off parts of town, taking stock of the area and probably noting the triads with interest. You might even catch her at a scam. (Hey, new place, money is necessary, and she has to test the limits.)

B. Up near the bending arena. Maybe it's just a practice day; maybe there's a game going on. She's just as likely to come either time. It's enough like Earth Rumble that she'll be interested.

C. Taking a break somewhere in the city (though likely not in the upper class districts). The satomobile vibrations are still a little rough on her, and a girl's gotta eat.

D. Wildcard -- have an idea? Poke me on PM or Plurk!

[Toph's body language isn't hard to pick up at all, and Korra feels a little sorry for mentioning the topic at all. But...at least now she knows it's a sensitive point for her.]

I won't tell you anything, if that's what you want. I don't think I'd want to know all this stuff about my future either.

[Time to change the subject.]

So...where have you been living? I don't know if you've heard, but the Air Temple's open to the people who got dropped in the city.

[Immediately her body language eases. Korra's choice has been wise.]

I'm out with some others in the Spirit Wilds. It works.

[She's not quite sure if Korra knows about Aang, and isn't going to mention it until she's sure. Being confronted with your past has to be as weird as being hit with your future.]

[braavado]

With others...you mean more people who got brought here suddenly?

[The Spirit Wilds seems like the place where all these people are gathering. Maybe Korra should make a point to visit the area more often and see what's going on with them.]
