So someone told me I'm supposed to have this roommate. Whatever. I'd know whoever it is if they ever came to this stupid place they call an a-part-ment. I guess that's a house or something. I don't know. So whoever you are, you can show up. Even if you're some horrible gross monster thing.

I'd just rather live in the place I was, but someone said that I had to live in this building because I'm a kid and I need supervision. I threw some rocks at them. I regret nothing, by the way. That guy needs to learn how to respect the greatest Earthbender in the world. I mean come on. I traveled with the Avatar. I can handle myself.

And this school thing. Still not happening.

[....Sigh. The hardest part is that Lin can hear the woman Toph will become in her phrasing and tone. She should have introduced herself earlier. Well. She shouldn't keep on sulking like a child.]

I've been home several times, but you don't like staying indoors much. [No word yet on being a horrible monster.] Lin. Your roommate.

It's a habit.

[So she's an adult. She's okay with that, as long as she doesn't cramp up her style or make her eat weird healthy things.] Toph, nice to finally meet you.

[Zap. Her voice has an odd, slightly throaty note to it which wasn't evident before.]

...You as well. I'm sorry my odd hours alarmed you. I'm-- When I'm not on medical leave, I'm the chief of police for the island, so they will continue to be strange. I will rarely be home for meals, but there will be food in the ice box, as there has been already. Help yourself.

I know your roommate. She's had a really rough time of it lately - though she would ever admit that - so she's probably just needed some time to herself. I'm sure she doesn't mean to be rude, but if she is a little short-tempered, please try to be understanding about it.

My name's Itsuki Koizumi, by the way. The greatest Earthbender in the world, you say? That must make you Toph Beifong. It's an honor to meet you.

Yeah, I guess. She could have just told me she was in a bad mood or something and then gone off. [She would have said leave a note, but heh.]

You know of me? Where are you from? Earth Kingdom, Water Tribe?

[doublebladed]

But did you actually hit them with the rocks, or did you miss?

[metalbending]

Course I did.

[doublebladed]

...you didn't kill anybody, right?
