This is really not how she wanted to introduce herself to the newbies.

Damn you everyone on her Facebook. (You know who you are.)

Toph is outside in work-out gear, so unamused. Bender is standing nearby.]

So. My dear and loving family has decided that I'm not allowed to do a normal "I'm a teacher get over it" post today. My dear and loving family has decided to nominate me for the ALS ice bucket challenge with the stipulation that I do it on the intranet and send them a copy.

[Screw all of them]

I’m Toph Beifong, one of the combat teachers for you newbies. Yes, I’m blind. [Bender barks] Yes, I have a seeing eye dog. No, you are not going to get away with anything in my class. Yes, it’s mandatory for everyone, even you psychics. I teach basic stuff, stuff you can use to keep your butt safe, so you can deal.

[Off camera:] Okay, do it.

[Two random students run out with buckets, dumping the ice water all over Toph, who shivers and swears in Chinese and English before holding her hand out for a towel]

That sucks. Like, a lot. Feliks, you're it. If you're in my class and do it on camera so I can hear, I'll give you a "get out of test free" card.

[She heads off, needing a hot shower and tea]

Hey, now they know the bucket prank won't work with me.

And with the new digital interface whiteboards, the old eraser trick is a non-matter as well. I will admit that was something that crossed my mind in development.

[fuckuimametalbender]

Those things work through tablet or laptop, yeah? The whiteboards.

Re: [video]

[bluishgreymatter]

Oh, absolutely. Even phones. I even made an interface specifically for telepaths. That one took the most figuring out. Either way, you should have no trouble using it. Completely, firmly accessible in most imaginable ways. If I sound like I'm bragging, it's because I am.

[Toph just laughs]

Hey, if I don't have to try and draw diagrams you can brag all you want. Now when can I get a robot seeing eye dog for fights?

[Don't give her a robot, Hank. There isn't enough adamantium to make a durable enough robot for Toph.]

Re: [video]

[bluishgreymatter]

Why on earth would you need one?

[fuckuimametalbender]

[Pause]

For fights. I can't take Bender into a fight with me!

Re: [video]

[bluishgreymatter]

You, my little earth mover, can summon boulders. Boulders that quite thoroughly smash things. Why do you need a robot dog?

[video]

[fuckuimametalbender]

So I know which things to smash.

[Duh.]

Communications go down or I'm out alone and I'm a sitting duck if someone comes at me from above.

Re: [video]

[bluishgreymatter]

Hmm... I may be able to make something that will function better for that purpose.

[fuckuimametalbender]

You are my new favorite.

My little earth mover, it warms this old blue heart to hear that.
