thinking of savetheearth/voicetesting.....

A place full of all kinds of people and things to do? That DOES sound pretty exciting.

[ it's clearly tempting him, along with a little something else. ]

Aaaand it might be fun to see what not being the Avatar, at least for a little bit, would be like. Like before I found out- [ then comes the more serious look. ] -but I can't. I'm not running anymore. There are things I have to do, and people who need me. And plenty of fun things right here.

...Why do I get the feeling it's gonna happen anyway?

It's a pretty exciting place, I think!

Though I'm pretty new to it.

hello notif thanks for not showing up!!!

[monkeyfeathers]

I do enjoy excitement...

[ no, no! resist! but- ]

Is it weird, not being yourself?

happens!

[eras]

You know I'm...not sure? I know a little about the person I was here, because it's weird, but back at home in Locke I...guess I don't really know enough!

I only remember little things, and they are mostly feelings along with some images. I don't know how alike or unlike I am from that girl!

[monkeyfeathers]

Wow, so that is pretty weird.

[ not even REMEMBERING himself from before except for a little bit would be pretty different... but at the same time- ]

I've had all kinds of past lives, so maybe it would be kinda like that! And MAYBE the girl you were before will show up as some kinda spirit and give you guidance and advice on things, and then you can see how alike you are.

[eras]

Oh, that would be really cool! I mean, having a spirit guide? That's pretty fantasy-story worthy. Do you really get to talk to spirits of your past selves?

[monkeyfeathers]

Oh, yeah! All the time! It's not fantasy to me. [ he looks thoughtful. ] They aren't always helpful, though. Even though they're me, we can be pretty different. [ he's thinking of YOU, KYOSHI. ] But maybe if you meet yourself, you'll be more helpful!

[ pretend that makes sense!! ]

[eras]

Different...? So you give yourself a hard time?

[metalbent]

You gonna have hair, twinkles?

[ Clearly the important question here. ]

[monkeyfeathers]

[ the MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION. ]

I hope not, it was really itchy before. [ waaaay too much trouble. how do you handle it toph share your secrets ]

But I guess I probably would! It'd have to hide my tattoos- [ wait ] -but I guess I probably wouldn't have those either, huh? AND I bet there won't be anyone there calling me "twinkles," either. This place sounds really different already!

[metalbent]

Nah, even if another life you'd totally be a fancy dancer type. Sorry, twinkletoes, it's just in your blood!

[ she is the best of friends. ]

I'd sense through sheer youness that you'd be Twinkletoes. Some nicknames just transcend lifetimes.

[ no they don't ]

[monkeyfeathers]

[ clearly the best. ]

Wow, but what if I actually AM a dancer in another life? Sounds like a lot of work. [ uh not exactly what she meant. at the nickname line he wrinkles his nose. ]

Toph, I don't think that's how that went. FRIENDSHIP, not nicknames! You don't need one to have the other.

[metalbent]

Can't be more work than I've put you through, Twinkles.

[ seriously, dancing? pfffft. Earthbending is where it's at. ]

Hey! That's absolutely how it went! You know why? Because I say so.

But sure, I guess we could do the friendship thing, too.

[ you know not like it's any skin off her nose. #subtle ]

[monkeyfeathers]

I'm sure there are lots of Earthbending dancers. They could shoot themselves up into the air with earth and do flips and things. [ nope now he's picturing it... and probably thinking of trying it. of course the airbending gives him an unfair advantage here. ]

Well, yeah! I don't think we could meet and not be friends. ...Uh, eventually. [ because that didn't happen so quickly the first time, after all. ]

[metalbent]

Yeah, except we're not sissies. [ Stop imagining that right now, Aang. She will kick a rock under your stance, don't test her. ]

What can I say, I guess I've got a soft spot for lily livers. Don't go spreading that around, though. [ ...Though yeah, she'd give a dancer slash Aang a hard time. Who's surprised? ] If we met up again.
