[open] Day 215 - outside the Forge
Who: Toph & you!
Open: Open
When: 215, afternoon
Where: Outside the Forge
What: With her bending limited, Toph is looking for another way to fight.
Format: Will match!
Warnings: Excessive levels of awesome from Toph...err...I mean... none.
It's taken Toph a few days to come to terms with the fact that there are ridiculous limitations on her bending. She's tested and retested them, trying to see where she can push it, but everything leads to the same inevitable conclusion. Her bending is limited.
So what's she going to do about it? No way is she going to accept just sitting around and helping out with little odds and ends in this place. She wants to be out on that Skyway, kicking ass and maybe finding Aang, Katara, and Sokka. She needs to find some way of fighting that plays to her strengths without relying on her bending...which probably means learning to fight with a weapon. If Sokka could do it, it can't be that hard.
The question then is — what kind of weapon should she get? Which is how she ends up outside the Forge that afternoon, examining weapons and trying to determine what would work best for her.

She may enjoy being underestimated in a fight, but Toph is still very sensitive to how people perceive her intelligence and competence. The quickest way to piss her off is to make her feel like she's being coddled or that things are being dumbed down for her.

He looks her up and down, then he starts to snicker, before breaking out into deep laughter. "Wait, wait," he gasps. "Do you REALLY think that I think women can't fight? I'm the worst fighter out of all my siblings, and I'm the only guy!"

Aang would probably be very confused to hear her expound upon the importance of questions, considering how she beat him up for questioning her teachings, but beating people up for asking stupid questions is also an important part of the learning process.

There's a reason that Psilon education is among the hardest to follow in the galaxy. But likewise, there's also a reason that the Psilons are the galactic leaders in every single scientific field.
"Knowledge is the basis of their society. Your worth as a person is determined by how much you know, and how much you're WILLING to know," he says, smirking. "And they let everyone know it. They're an arrogant people, hard to like if they aren't students of social norms, but you'll never find someone with a better grasp on how anything works."
