Hey, what kind of jobs can you do in this city that don't require reading or writing?

[ombrasolare]

I would think construction would be the obvious choice for you.

[visibilityzero]

I already built a playground. Does this city actually build anything though?

[ombrasolare]

Considering the arbitrary way the city tends to interpret things, I think residents would enjoy having another option that is more reliable.

[visibilityzero]

Yeah, but I want something to so every day. I'm bored!

[ombrasolare]

What is it that you like to do?

[visibilityzero]

[ she's actually having to think about this... she hasn't got a lot of hobbies outside Earthbending and by extension, fighting ]

I dunno...

[ombrasolare]

Then why not experiment? I'm sure you can manage to find new things to try out every day until you settle on a few that you like.

A job can be a drudgery sometimes.

[visibilityzero]

Obviously I'm not going to pick a boring job! I want something fun so that I'm NOT bored all the time.

[ombrasolare]

Has there ever been anything you wanted to try, but never ended up being able to do at home?

[visibilityzero]

Yeah, only everything. At home I wasn't allowed to do anything on my own.

[ whoops, Toph mistakenly thought he meant her actual home, not her world ]

[ombrasolare]

You really don't seem the type to let anyone tell you what you can or can't do.

[visibilityzero]

[ sulky silence ]

That was different, and I left so they couldn't do it anymore.

[ombrasolare]

So you have tried different things. Was there anything you enjoyed in particular?

[visibilityzero]

[ thinking ]

I like animals.

[ombrasolare]

There is a zoo in the city, I believe, I wonder if they take employees?

[visibilityzero]

[ her milky eyes light up ]

What kind of animals do they have?
