Day 211 [Open/Action or Prose!] | Not quite extinct

Who: Ryu 3, Anyone.
Open: Open
When: Day 211
Where: The Skyway and later the Hospital.
What: A certain prodigal dragon prince returns.  But what happened?
Format: Will match!
Warnings: Possible talk of death, childhood trauma and memories.  Y'know, the usual warnings that go with Ryu.  Oh, and naked dragons.


Ryu has been strangely missing for quite some time, without so much as a note or any sort of mention as to where he's going or why.  It's remarkably unlike the boy to do something like this, which makes his eventual reappearance all the stranger.  Far out on the Skyway, someone might come across what appears to be a nest of sorts.  It's taken Ryu some time, but he's managed to trace a path back towards the Bastion.  It's here on the Skyway he might be found in one of his dragon forms.  Having to fend off so many creatures in the past days, he's wary of anything approaching him, especially having used his powers so much.  He's hungry, tired, and likely sustained a few wounds.  While he'll be quick to bare his claws and teeth, a familiar face would most certainly be welcome for him.

---

Later on, Ryu has been put into the hospital for his injuries and malnutrition.  He's not likely to be terribly talkative about where he's been or what he's been doing, but he'll welcome any visitors with a smile, especially close friends.  While the lack of nutrition is more a problem for him than his injuries, this is probably one of the few times anyone will get a look at him without his regular clothing.  He does his best to keep himself covered, but there's no hiding just how worn from battle his body really is, though a good many scars appear to be quite old.  Either way, he'll welcome the company, and someone needs to keep him from trying to wander out of his room.

Toph is just about to ready to leave with a "'kay thanks", but then the guy decides to make conversation. She could leave, but she doesn't feel like going on another fruitless hunt for Zuko again, and maybe the other girl will come back here.

"You could say that," she says a little grudgingly. "...how long have you known her?"
tophgirl: Toph stands text says "Toph Bei Awesome" (Default)

"What's Gasfella?" Toph asks. "It sounds like some kind of weird disease."
tophgirl: Toph picks her teeth (Annoyed: Seriously don't care)

Toph snorts derisively. "I could take it." Then she remembers that somehow, they've managed to put a limit on her bending. Without that... She scowls and immediately banishes the thought You’re just as helpless as your parents thought.

Toph snorts. "Being in a group doesn't necessarily mean you're stronger or better able to face a threat," she says. "Sometimes it just means you've got more targets to accidentally hit. What were you doing out there, anyway?"
tophgirl: Toph jerks her thumb back (Annoyed: Get in the back)

"Wait a minute." Hold up there, buddy. "You can turn into a dragon?!"
tophgirl: Close up of Toph looking thoughtful (Confused: Thoughtful)

Nothing to fear. Right. Like Toph was going to be afraid of a stupid dragon. She's the greatest earthbender of all time, current limits on her ability notwithstanding. She'd turn any dragon that so much as breathed at her funny into dragon stew.

She's just baffled at the idea of a person becoming one.

"How is that even possible?"
tophgirl: Toph crosses her arms and looks annoyed (Annoyed: Grumble)

[personal profile] tophgirl 2014-08-04 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, right, Toph will believe that when she sees it. "What's this Calamity I keep hearing about?"
tophgirl: Toph holds chopsticks and looks annoyed (Annoyed: I'm trying to eat here)

"Yeah, I got that part," Toph snaps. "That's part of the whole tourist brochure. But what was it? A weapon? A war? A science experiment gone wrong?"
tophgirl: Toph looks thoughtful (Serious: Hard at work)

[personal profile] tophgirl 2014-08-12 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"Who're they?" She might as well ask them herself.
tophgirl: Toph earthbends (Badass: Get ready)

"Those're some weird names." Still, Toph files them into her memory. Weird names or not, if they're the people who've been here longest, they're the people she should talk to.

"How long've you been here?"
tophgirl: Toph looks thoughtful (Serious: Hard at work)

"You're not the kind of guy to carve the days on your prison walls." Toph can understand that. She put time into three categories: too much (boredom), not enough (training to face the Fire Lord), and whatever. Breaking it down further was a pointless exercise for idiots like Sokka.
