Oh yeah! The Blind Bandit is BACK!

[Stone can be heard grinding and shattering and tumbling in the background.]

Thanks to whoever finally told me there was a cave down here. I owe you one. This is so cool! Well, except for the water. But I can deal with that.

[There's more rumbling and a few loud splashes - like rocks being hurled into water to make crude stepping stones - before the communicator stops transmitting.]

"Blind Bandit"?

[waitsandlistens]

Yeah. It's my fighting name. Who's asking?

[blindimmortal.livejournal.com]

Fighting name, hmm? Interesting.

I'm Gail Woodling.

[waitsandlistens]

It'll get more interesting if this boat has an underground fighting arena. I doubt it. But if there's a cave on board, anything's possible.

I'm Toph Bei Fong.

[blindimmortal.livejournal.com]

The boat is very strange, yes.

It's a pleasure to meet you... Toph. But, may I ask, why do you call yourself the Blind Bandit?

[waitsandlistens]

Because that way nobody ever stops me to ask for directions.

Oh also, I was born blind.

[blindimmortal.livejournal.com]

[Doesn't Gail sound amused]

How very interesting. So was I.

[waitsandlistens]

Huh. Well what do ya know? I'd say you're the first blind person I've met besides me, but thanks to the Captain, that's not true.

So are you a bender, or is there no bending where you're from?

[blindimmortal.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid there is no 'bending' where I'm from.

[waitsandlistens]

Well that stinks. I guess that means you can't see with your feet either.

[ilikesoap.livejournal.com]

Blind Bandit? The hell are you smashing down there kid?

[waitsandlistens]

It's a cave, made out of earth. I'm an earthbender. I can control the earth.

I'm smashing giant purple pumpkins.

[ilikesoap.livejournal.com]

Uh huh. Sure ya can.

I like giant purple pumpkins.

[waitsandlistens]

...

...

Whatever. I was having some fun breaking rocks in the cave. What's your problem?

[ilikesoap.livejournal.com]

Huh? Nothing. I'm just tired.

Really though, how are you making all that noise? I'm pretty sure explosives aren't allowed.

[waitsandlistens]

I told you: Earth. Bender. I don't need explosives. If you don't believe me, come down here and I'll show you.

[ilikesoap.livejournal.com]

[Yawn.]

If it'll make you keep the noise down, sure.

[waitsandlistens]

I'm sorry. Am I keeping you awake, Princess?

[ilikesoap.livejournal.com]

No. I do that well enough on my own.

You're just being noisy.

[waitsandlistens]

[tachikhromatic.livejournal.com]

...You have explosives?

[Say yes say yes say yesssssss please, please please!]

Will you share them?

[waitsandlistens]

No.

If you want to knock down some earth or rock, I'm you're girl. Otherwise, there's a fire on Deck Whatever. But I'm pretty sure the boat won't explode if it's already on fire.

[tachikhromatic.livejournal.com]

Awwwwwwh....

I don't think that's a real fire.

[waitsandlistens]

It's hot. It smokes. There's really only one way to find out for sure.

[tachikhromatic.livejournal.com]

It's true that it cooks food, but it doesn't seem to actually burn anything. I think it's actually possible to walk through it, without being hurt.
