[There's a small girl onscreen. Tiny, pale, likely no more than 13, with a mass of heavy, dark hair and pale green eyes that spear outward from the feed.]

[. . . Though there's something off about that glare. It doesn't quite seem to focus like a glare should. And the screen itself is not quite centered on her; it cuts off her chin.]

[But there's certainly enough visible to say that she is decidedly Displeased.]

[And wet.]

I think I've gotten pretty tolerant of weird stuff going on around here. Bending suddenly getting yanked away? Managed. Invasion of the purring fluffy things? Whatever. Dream-sharing? Yeah, fine. Way, way messing up the timeline, until my-- . . .

[She cuts herself off there, though, her lips pressing together sharply. And when she pushes on, she lets that go.]

Forget it.

The point is, enough's enough. When I go to sleep in my own bed in Earth, I'd better darn well wake up in my own bed in Earth, not turn over and find myself tipping over into a fountain in the Water Sector. Whatever's going on, somebody had better speak up about it now, because I'm wet and I'm cold, and there's some kedan family living in my house, and I want an explanation now so I can smash the source into a pulp several times with a rock and get back to bed.

[A sneeze. But she looks no less fierce for it, jerking the back of her wrist across her nose.]

Start now.

Look, I can explain everything. Believe me, I know just how you're feeling right now. But... invasion of purring fluffy things? Really? Why haven't I gotten to experience something good like that—?

[And then it hits him. His eyes go wide, and he just loses all ability to speak for a few moments.]

Toph?! Toph! You're here!

[solo_patria]

[Oh dear. Someone who, like him, once, has no memories of a past time here. Unlike Enjolras, it seems like she's missed a damn sight more than a few weeks a few years ago, what with the war and the year asleep and...all. He's studying the screen a moment, trying to come up with an answer, before just going with it in his reply.]

Ah, welcome back. Yes, things have been a bit... Weelll.

What IS the last that you remember? That should help me to explain.

[Zuko didn't check the consoles often, but today he did, and there was an interesting surprise that left him stunned. She might not still be there, but he was going to try anyway.]

Toph? Is that you? It's Zuko, are you still there?

[video, not that Toph cares]

[whitelotustile]

Well, it is a bit of a story. But it sounds like you need a cup of tea first. And quite possibly a blanket.

[because wet and cold can be solved by large amounts of tea.]

[Aang's never really been one for sitting in front of the console for hours on end. It's too busy to be meditative, and too passive to be fun. What he has discovered though is that leaving it on for background noise while he does other things is highly entertaining.]

[He's mid-way through weaving a necklace from a long section of string he scavenged when the dulcet tones of a Beifong catches his attention.]

Toph? TOPH!

[There's a sound like a body hitting the floor as in his haste to get towards the console Aang has gotten himself tangled up in his own limbs.]

Are you a new arrival? (She seems so well-informed!) I can bring you a towel.

[Her brows rose slightly in surprise.]

[So there were other kids here, besides herself and Aang. Or, at least, there were now.]

If you missed the final battle in the Dream Realm, then that means it's been more than a year since you were here. [She assumed that the girl had been here before, based on the kedan family in my house line. It had been a while for Midii as well, so she couldn't remember if she'd seen that face before or not.] A lot of things have changed since then. Including housing arrangements, and a lot of local attitudes.

[Straight to the point. Her preferred method of introduction.]
