Well, I'm glad I'm no longer a Hume; I was starting to miss my tail and my ears. I also didn't like the effect gravity had over me during that.

[It also beat having a draft come up through a hole in your pants that was for a tail. Although, not too long after her first comment she stumbles and lands on the ground with a thump and a groan; that was probably Atomos' way of not mocking it for being the Avatar of time and space. That hurt alot and a cure spell was casted with its little chime.]

They're not like those rice cakes or mochi that are handed out around during Doll Festival or Feast of Swords.

[She moves herself closer to the communicator and grabs it.]

Anyway, that was probably the most weirdest of Valentione's day I've ever had. I don't understand all this additional stuff that's outside my door. Is this another part of the same event? Its so vibrant and looks like it could use some firewar- I mean fireworks. I know I have some in my yukata that I could probably share with the rest of the boat.

[Rummaging and success!]

I might need to figure out which ones they are before handing them out. It wouldn't be too great if I gave everyone the kind that turn you in to these lantern creatures with their tongues sticking out.

You have fireworks? I'll have some!

[Toph is making plans.]

I don't know what all these new gifts and the noise is about, but I gotta say, I like having real food delivered.

Wait, what do you mean 'the kind that turn you into lantern creatures'?

[identity profile] rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com 2010-02-17 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, they're a mix of alchemy and magic, when you use it the spell takes over. Its only temporary though, so its nothing to worry about. I do have other ones that shoot three out before disappearing.

If you're interested, I can come down to wherever you are.

[personal profile] waitsandlistens 2010-02-17 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
Magic...?

We're talking about the same thing, right? They smell like blasting jelly and when you light them on fire, they shoot up in the air and explode?

I'm on the sushi de- uh... Deck eight.

[identity profile] rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com 2010-02-17 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes.

Uh, no. These fireworks are different from the ones you know. These don't hurt the users, aside from blinding someone if you fire them off in someone else's face.

Alright, I'll be there soon.

[personal profile] waitsandlistens 2010-02-18 02:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, the blinding thing isn't gonna be a problem. But I don't know any magic spells. Have you tried them on the boat before?

[Toph really doesn't want to be a lantern-beast. It'd make for a good practical joke though... Hmmm...]

[identity profile] rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com 2010-02-18 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, I have and they work fine. You don't need magic to use them.

[personal profile] waitsandlistens 2010-02-19 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Sweet! No fire, no magic. Sounds cool.

So how do you start them then? Or should I wait for a demonstration?

Uh... I don't have any money, but I can still pay you back for them if you want. If you ever need any stone or metal or crystal dealt with, I can handle it.

[identity profile] rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com 2010-02-19 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Its simple but I can show you a demonstration.

Don't worry about it, I have plenty -- wait, did you say crystal?

[personal profile] waitsandlistens 2010-02-20 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
Sweet!

Yeah, crystal. Why?

[personal profile] waitsandlistens 2010-02-20 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
No. [There are kinds? That could be interesting.]

The kind I'm used to is usually underground. My friends said it glows green, if that makes any difference. [pfft. Colour. Who needs it?]

[identity profile] rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com 2010-02-20 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I see.

[She sounded disappointed.]

[personal profile] waitsandlistens 2010-02-20 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
[And curiosity is piqued.]

What, does your magic use crystals too?

[identity profile] rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com 2010-02-20 08:39 am (UTC)(link)
What? No, no, no... They don't. I just use them for crafting.

[personal profile] waitsandlistens 2010-02-20 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, cool.

Can't help you though. Sorry. I've only ever tried craft-bending with sand. [And space earth. But that doesn't really count.]

[identity profile] rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com 2010-02-20 09:01 am (UTC)(link)
Its alright, thank you for the offer.

[personal profile] waitsandlistens 2010-02-21 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
Not a problem.

So uh, fireworks. [Subtle isn't she? Toph's outside the Kuma Ko, sitting on a stool with her feet on the rung and willfully ignoring how easy it would be for someone to sneak up on her right now.]

It's around New Year back home and we usually set off a couple to celebrate. [Nostalgia? What nostalgia? There is no nostalgia here?]

[identity profile] rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com 2010-02-21 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
I'm almost there. I usually light them around special events.

[There, the Mithra finally made her way in to the Kuma-Ko. She gave a wave to the bears and looked for the person she assumed was Toph.]

Are you the one who asked about the fireworks?

[Commentlog]

[personal profile] waitsandlistens 2010-02-21 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
That's me! Name's Toph. I guess that makes you... Wait, what is your name?

[Clearly, nobody has ever taught this kid about Stranger Danger.]

[identity profile] rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com 2010-02-21 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
Catpaw.

[She gave a small smile and reached in to her gear to pull out the fireworks.]

Its nice to meet you Toph.

[personal profile] waitsandlistens 2010-02-21 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Toph nods.] Likewise. So how does this work?

[identity profile] rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com 2010-02-21 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
Well...

[She trailed off to grab on to Toph's hand to show how to start the firework. One shot goes off and kabooms in to pretty fireworks.]

Its simple, like I said. The other two shots will go after a few seconds between each.

[personal profile] waitsandlistens 2010-02-21 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Toph can't stop grinning. Non-Fire-Nation related Completely-safe explosions. She whoops as the second explosion fires off.]

Sweet! So I need to find a some New Year cake and some other stuff first, but I can let you know when I'm gonna set these off if you want.

[They're Catpaw's fireworks. She should get to enjoy them. It's not like Toph's always deliberately discourteous.]

[identity profile] rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com 2010-02-21 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds wonderful and you don't have to worry about using them without me around.

[She hands over a couple of more.]

I have plenty.

[identity profile] pimp-hat.livejournal.com 2010-02-17 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I know whatchu mean. Spent half dat party figuhin' how to walk again.

[identity profile] rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com 2010-02-17 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I believe you Kevas. I had one person concerned if I was alright or not.

You're not hurt, are you?

[identity profile] pimp-hat.livejournal.com 2010-02-18 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Spent most my time clingin' to sometin' to keep me up.

I would say dat all I hurt be my pride but honestly I ain't be havin' any of dat anymore.

[identity profile] rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com 2010-02-18 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, I remained seated on the ground. For a good reason.

Well I'm glad that you didn't get hurt.

[identity profile] pimp-hat.livejournal.com 2010-02-18 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Dat be too bad. Was kinda fun all t'ings considuhed.

Gonna take more den t'ree or fuh liddle spills to put a dent in me.

[identity profile] pimp-hat.livejournal.com 2010-02-18 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Course really. How fragile joo t'ink I be?

[identity profile] rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com 2010-02-18 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Well considering there was one time you fell through the stairs and broke a few bones.

[identity profile] pimp-hat.livejournal.com 2010-02-18 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Well seein' how I don't remembah dat, dat don't count.

[identity profile] rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com 2010-02-18 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
But other than that, you are pretty strong.

[identity profile] pimp-hat.livejournal.com 2010-02-18 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
What can I say? We trolls be built to last.

[identity profile] rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com 2010-02-19 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a chuckle.]

Of course.

[identity profile] pimp-hat.livejournal.com 2010-02-19 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Haven't found anytin' dat be able to put me down fuh good.

[identity profile] rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com 2010-02-19 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Except in the Carnival.

[identity profile] pimp-hat.livejournal.com 2010-02-19 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Heh, we'll see 'bout dat.

[identity profile] rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com 2010-02-19 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Please be careful you plan on going in.

[identity profile] pimp-hat.livejournal.com 2010-02-19 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Don't get me wrong now. I don't go lookin' fuh trouble. Life back home just taught me to be ready fuh it.

[identity profile] rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com 2010-02-19 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I would agree.
