[All this walking around in snow in dirt shoes didn't do anything good for Toph, so she's been in bed sick all through the holidays, and pretty grumpy about missing Christmas. It figures that she had to miss the one good thing about staying here, doesn't it? And she's also bored. Desperately bored. Oh well, at least she's spared a mommy and daddy

I've got some tea that could help with congestion.

[earthrumblegod]

Psycho-what now?

[mikangirl]

[...oh yeah, she shouldn't be discussing this sort of thing with you, huh?]

People who've been brought here who apparently have nothing better to do with their time than cause more trouble for everyone else.

[earthrumblegod]

Oh, like the cricket guy?

[mikangirl]

Jay? No. He's just a brat.

[earthrumblegod]

So- you mean, like, serious trouble for everyone, then. Lurking around in the woods? [That's no good, she's got a friend who lives in the woods.]

[mikangirl]

Honestly, I don't know. But I'd recommend not going out there alone, just in case. There are some kinda mean people here.

[fff, she came here to make you tea, not terrify you about evil forest dwellers. On the other hand, a warning can't really hurt.]

[earthrumblegod]

That's okay, I bet I can take them. Besides, Moro would shoo them off if they made too much trouble.

Oh, hey! Now I can get you your present. Hang on a sec. [Toph goes to fish around in the heap of badly-wrapped parcels.]

[mikangirl]

Oh, you've met --

[Hmm. Lost a Toph to parcels. She'll clean until you get back.]

[earthrumblegod]

[Toph rummages until she finds the right one, grabs it, and heads back over.> Met what?

[mikangirl]

Moro. The wolf god. Well, one of them, anyway.

[Ooh, present? 8D gimme gimme.]

[earthrumblegod]

Yeah, I met her a while back. It's really strange that these guys could capture someone like her. But if Zhao could kill the moon, I guess it's not impossible.

[She hands over the present, which is pretty heavy.] Didn't know what to get anybody, so I just made something. [It's a small, stone statue of a turtle duck.]

[mikangirl]

Zhao could -- that's kind of scary. But yeah, the people that run this place don't seem to have any problem with any kind of power level at all. And--

[mikangirl]

--Oh hey! [Grinning at the turtle duck.] I saw these a couple months ago! They were really cute.

[earthrumblegod]

...They have turtle ducks here? [You bet she looks excited about seeing something from home.]

[mikangirl]

Not any more. There was an amusement park that sort of magically appeared here, and it had a petting zoo. These were there. I thought they were the cutest things in the place. [Petting a statue now. |D]

Thank you!
