[Guess who's out wandering Deck 05?

If you guessed a half-blind elven midget, you'd be right! Cyrus has managed to slip away from his guardian angel and is trying to figure his own way around. It's not easy. Everything is dark and blurry and focusing too hard for too long hurtsMaybe you bump into him while he goes around a corner, maybe you see ( Read more... )

[Toph has finally managed to figure out that Aang's room is on deck five. But that doesn't tell her where on deck five.

So here she is, reduced to wandering aimlessly and hoping that she'll hear him or something.

She's hardly paying any attention to where she's going, holding her cane at her side and instead using the wall to guide her.

Were those footsteps she heard just around the next corner? Though Toph starts to listen, she doesn't actually stop walking--]

[Bonk! Cyrus walks right into Toph and stumbles back.]

What the--

Ow!

[Toph stumbles back a few steps and rubs at her head.]

Watch where you're going!

Why don't you do the same?

Because my Dad taught me never to look at idiots, why do you think?

[She waves her can over the floor in front of her, just for emphasis. Was that the wall she just hit, or his foot? Almost straight away she realizes; she doesn't care.]

What's your problem, kid? No one ever tell you to respect your elders?

Didn't anyone ever tell you not to pick on a poor, helpless blind girl?

[She's neither poor nor helpless, but the only people who need to tell others to respect them are the kinds of people who can't earn respect to begin with.

In other words, losers.]

...blind?

[That explains something. Not a lot, but something.]

Huh.

Yeah.

[She thumps the floor with her cane.]

What about it?

Nothing. I'm in a... similar situation, is all.

[... A few months ago, she'd have jumped all over him and pumped him for information on how regular blind people survive round here. But Toph's got it pretty well figured by now... Sort of. And she doesn't actually recognize his voice.

So instead, she probes the floor in front of her with her cane.]

How long've you been here?

And where's your stick?

Not long, less than a month, and I don't have one. Someone else has been helping me around.

[Guess who hasn't been able to look through deck twelve since the incident?]

[Toph makes a great show of turning her head side-to-side, obviously listening... Before realizing that he can't see her either.

Yeah. Oops. She's just never going to mention that again.]

Huh. So where's your babysitter now?

[Cyrus makes a little scoffing noise.]

Not here, clearly. I can at least maneuver my floor on my own.

rocklikerunaway July 19 2010, 17:37:02 UTC
Right.

[Has he thought to count the doors between his room and here?]

Just one question; how are you gonna read the number on your door?

Reply

scarredpalms July 20 2010, 10:55:22 UTC
I'm not. The numbers are raised; I can just feel which one's mine.

[His mun even checked with a mod to make sure!]
