Eight Rocks ** video [Earthspikes are over--MAJOR QUAKE]

[roxrkool]

[The only reason the communicator turned on is because the video button was SMASHED against the wall when Toph threw the communicator. It falls just right so that it's angled to just barely see Yoh hanging from the ceiling an most of Toph's upper half. Her head is cast down. She looks to be mumbling to herself, growling slightly in disgust

[He ran into the building breathlessly. A sad, sad look on his face. As soon as he had seen Yoh's post, he had run as fast as he could to Horton. Now that he was there though, he had no idea what to do.]

Toph...

[puzzledprof]

[Layton looked from the girl huddled in his arms over to Sokka, keeping his voice quiet.]

You're a friend of hers, aren't you?

[roxrkool]

[She had no attachment to the ground at all, now. She didn't even hear Sokka come running down the hall she was so upset. Keeping her face burried into layton, the fought back the tears that were dried by his clothes. This was undignified, but she couldn't help it.

Yoh....

Then she heard Sokka say her name, and at Layton's question nodded to verify his answer.]

[meat4all]

[Sokka just stared. He had never seen Toph so upset before. He couldn't even guess at how she must have felt at that moment.]

Toph its...

[He wanted to tell her it wasn't her fault. But he knew that wouldn't help. It wouldn't help at all.]

Y-yea I'm her friend. [A friend who couldn't do anything to help the people he cared about.]

[fuck_you_d]

...

[roxrkool]

[Can't see your frequency... and too upset to care.]

[fuck_you_d]

..."just some earthquakes," huh?

[roxrkool]

[That mother fucking voice...]

SHUT UP!

[forged_anew]

T-toph?

[Zuko's voice is weak and breathless, but very much concerned. Toph didn't just cry for no reason. Toph didn't cry period, as far as he knew.]

What happened?

[meat4all]

She--

One of the spikes it...killed her friend.

[forged_anew]

[...]

I'm... sorry. Her Earthbending got... out of control, didn't it?

I told her to be careful...

[meat4all]

Yea...it did.

She's not...doing so good.

[crippledroyalty]

[Nunnally would be over there in a heartbeat if she knew where Horton was or that Toph lived on the first floor. But unfortunately, she knows neither and is forced to rely on the communicators, finding herself increasingly frustrated with her wheelchair.]

Toph?

[roxrkool]

[Which is probably for the better, because Toph already isn't happy with how many spectators there were to see her baaaawing.]

Hey...

[crippledroyalty]

It wasn't your fault.

[roxrkool]

[...]

Yes, it was... I should have gone somewhere safe... I... [silence]

[roxrkool]

[...]

No...
