Letting it Out [open]
Characters: Toph Bei-Fong, Open
Location: Gym
Time: Evening of Monday
Content: Toph's letting off some steam
Format: 1st or 3rd is fine.
Warnings: None yet.
Toph knew she could have used the Danger Room if she really wanted, however, sometimes it was just fun doing things the old fashioned way: with a punching bag. Toph was dressed in her worn out gi and was kicking the crap out of a bag hanging in the corner. It was a little difficult since it was hanging, but after finding it initially it was easy to continue landing solid blows and keeping her ears peeled for the sound of clinking metal as it swung.
She knew there were healthier ways to deal with this. She could probably go talk to the other staff members or some of the students. Still, this was what felt right to her. She had been a teacher for some of the students that had taken off and more than anger she felt disappointment. It wasn't just disappointment in the students for making that choice...but in herself for not doing more to teach them about groups like that. Hadn't she TALKED about Magneto and those like him in combat simulations before? How could they just turn their backs on this place? Maybe it had something to do with the fact that those students just didn't feel like this was home...not like Toph did.
It made her sad...which led to her punching and kicking things. Suddenly, her punch triggered the sand in the bag to fly out of the other side. Whoops. She forgot these things had sand in them. It started pooling on the floor of the gym. Toph sighed and started using her powers to pool it back together and put it back in the bag.
