[Hey, this wasn't the Western Air Temple! This was... a boat? It had to be a boat. It felt like a boat. And if Aang was on a boat, that wasn't good news. He jumped to his feet and looked around. This didn't seem like a prison cell. It didn't even look like a Fire Nation ship! Where was he...? In any other situation, he'd be jumping out to see where

Twinkletoes!

[omnibender]

Toph! So you're here too?

[rocklikerunaway]

[YES! He remembers her!]

You got it. Where are you?

[omnibender]

[How could he possibly forget his favorite earthbender?]

I guess I'm in my room? This place is so weird! I haven't even tried looking around yet...

[rocklikerunaway]

Yeah, you might wanna do that. Take your keycard with you or you'll get locked out.

[She's heard him give Katara his room number but room numbers are pretty useless to Toph. All she knows so far is that he's not on Deck 7. She'd recognize that light step anywhere.]

What's it like outside your room? I'll come find you.

[omnibender]

What's it like?

[He's making sure to locate that keycard before poking his head outside and getting back to the communicator.]

It doesn't look all that different from any of the other boats I've been on... maybe a little less gloomy, since it's not a Fire Nation ship. [He laughs weakly, but he's not too sure if this is the time and place for laughing yet. This place just doesn't feel right.]

[rocklikerunaway]

Not helping. Are there bees or a fire or piles of junk?

[Hmmm... Can she give him instructions on how to use the elevator and trust that he won't stuff it up?]

[omnibender]

Bees? Fires? Junk? ...what kind of ship is this!?

There's nothing weird, it's just like any other ship. I mean, as far as I know. [Aang's looking around the halls a little more now. Nothing out of the ordinary here!]

[rocklikerunaway]

A crazy one.

Have you found the metal doors near the stairs yet?

[omnibender]

Metal doors, metal doors... all the doors are metal! Which ones am I supposed to be looking fo- oh! These doors!

...there's no handle! [Derpderp what are elevators?]

[rocklikerunaway]

You have to press the button, Twinkletoes.

There's only a little room inside. Go in an press the button for number thirteen.

[Man, Toph is so glad elevators have braille right now. Thank you Remy!]

/used wrong icon, then lost post. 8D;;

[omnibender]

[He pressed the button. Then waited. And then-] Oh, there is a little room in here!

. . .

.....AHHHH IT'S MOVING. TOPH WHY IS IT MOVI- hey, I'm going down!

XD I thought Opera ate it.

[rocklikerunaway]

Yeah. It's a moving metal death box, but it's faster than the stairs.

This place is big.

[Aang's probably about to find out just how big.]

Get out when you see a field of flowers. I'll be there.

[Aang may be able to hear the ping in the background as her own elevator arrives on the meadow deck.]

[omnibender]

[Toph, now is not the time for jokes like that. It might very well be a metal death box! Not that he thinks Toph would lead him to his death, but still...]

A field of flowers? But aren't we on a bo- WHOA. [And someone just got there!]

HOW IS THIS ON A BOAT!? [Sorry Toph, he did just scream that.]

[rocklikerunaway]

[Toph laughs. She's not very far away. Aang's making himself very easy to find.]

Who cares how it's here? It's awesome.

[And she kicks a stone off to one side, demonstrating the point. A boat with earth-decks: Sweet.]

[omnibender]

[SUDDENLY FLYING ROCKS ohwait, nope, it's just-] Toph!

[Aang's running over now. Careful, Toph: he's going to hug you whether you're expecting it or not.]
