[Commentlog] No worries ^^rocklikerunawayAugust 15 2010, 09:21:05 UTC
[Toph stands still, thinking for a moment. Then, hunching her shoulders, she spreads her arms out wide and stamps her foot.
Stones fly toward her, each no larger than her fist. In moments her front is shielded, all but her eyes, as though she'd armoured herself with a river bed.
She won't be able to dodge like this. But she now has more than enough ammunition for the time being and she should be able to take anything Goten brings.]

[A pebble strikes Goten in the forehead before he figures out that she didn't through a giant rock at him this time and he yelps before destroying the rest with a short-range energy blast.]
[She punches the air in front of her, sending a fist-sized rock Goten's way. This's probably like tossing pebbles at a badger-mole, but it's not like he's hitting back yet.]

[Well yeah, Goten's having a lot of fun punching flying rocks out of the air. But he should probably go on the offensive sometime and so after he knocks the stone aside he decides to attack the ground.
Since she's using it and all.
That would probably be good, right? So he presses some energy into his hand and punches at the ground, releasing it to make a blast and a crater. Being a little child, it doesn't really occur to him that she might be able to use all the debris he just tossed up in the air.]
[The blast reverberates through the cave floor and for an instant Toph isn't sure what she's feeling.]
... Whoa.
[And then dust and tiny stones begin brushing across her cheeks, and she grins.]
Sweetness.
[Instantly, she drops her armour. She throws both arms out in front of her, palms flat and facing up. The dust and debris hangs stagnant in the air for a moment. And then it billows out, drawing with it every bit of loose grit that coats the cave-floor. It's not a big dust cloud. She'll need to be careful she doesn't move out of it. But it's thick.

[That he can't. Plus, her ki is pretty small and very unfamiliar, so Goten will have to stand very still and concentrate to try and get a lock on her. He was never very good at this sort of thing.]
[That's weird. He's not moving, but he's not freaking out either. He's just standing there, not turning to look for her or anything.
Toph begins circling around, slowly and quietly. Her grin's faded to a small, smug little smile. This is probably a really bad idea, but if it works...
She starts edging in closer behind Goten. She draws a fist back. If he's tough enough to punch through rocks, there's no way she'll hurt him. But it'll be funny.
Three quick steps to close the distance between them, and then she aims a punch for right between where his shoulders had been, only seconds before.]

[Ki is difficult to track when it's small, but when she charges and throws a punch Goten jerks around to catch her fist. He hooks his other hand under her arm and hefts her over his shoulder to throw her.]
[Yeah, she can't lie. Deal with it.]
I'm bringing fried meat-bread-sticks.
[Corndogs. What is nutrition?]

Yeah, I like it a lot! Don't you?

I just don't know a lot of kids who do. I mean, my friends fight. But they don't always like it.
[She rolls her eyes. Who doesn't like to fight, seriously?]
C'mon then. Let's try this again, you and me.
Reply
[Yeah Goten thinks it's kind of crazy too. He LOVES fighting.]
Okay! And I won't use energy either!
Reply
[Toph had been squaring off, but she stands up straight and huffs her bangs out of her face at that.]
We're not doing this if you're gonna go easy on me.
Besides, how else're you gonna learn how this place effects you?

But what if I hit you with it? I'm not real good at making it move right...

I think I can handle it.

Okay! [Hey, if she says she can handle it then she can handle it. Besides, Goten's having a lot of fun with this.]

Hey, small and speedy has worked on super-strong opponents before.]

Goten can't hit her if he can't see her, right?]
