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]

I'll still drop by and practice or whatever, just like when I feel like it?

I'm totally changing my shoes first. Do you know how much these cost?

[She shrugs. Cool with her]

Just get on some old flip flops or something, geez. I know you have some.

You do know I'm gonna totally get back at you for this, right?

[He's thinking imagining some sort of mild-trouble-inducing sign on the back of her shirt, because how's she ever going to know?]

[She just grins]

You really wanna prank war with me?

[She is very, very good at prank wars]

And what's to get back at? I'm just encouraging you to donate to charity!

Yeah, with all that mad TA money I have lying around?

[Spoiler alert: Feliks is totally still bumming off his parents.]

Also? Bring it.

Except not yet 'cause it's my turn now.

Feliks, if you're telling me you don't still get a check from your parents I am calling you a liar.

Well I mean, there's that, and I guess I still have some from that time with your dad...

[You know, the time we sued the ass off him.]

It's just ten bucks or whatever you wanna donate, a hundred if you don't do the bucket. But if you don't do the bucket, I will laugh at you.

[That was a fun time.]

So I mean, you're kinda actually encouraging me to donate less than I have to?

Feliks.

[The face Toph is making is her "stop bullshitting" face]

Do the thing.

Well, I didn't say I wasn't gonna. You challenged me, right?

[And he is laughably short-sighted about challenges and similar ridiculous ideas.]

Yeah, so get the ice water and donate.

God, give me like three seconds!

[She won't see him get up to go to his closet, but she'll probably hear the rummaging.]

Do it outside so you don't get the floor wet!

I know, I was gonna!

[No but seriously it's probably very good that she reminded him.]

Still reminding you in case you forgot.

Like I'd forget.

[He would.]

Uh-huh, keep telling yourself that Sweetcheeks.

Come on, like you never forget anything!

Not as often as you do. You're about as air-headed as a balloon animal.

[He's hurt. Devastated, truly.]

Wow, rude to the max. Is that like, the kind of thing a teacher should be saying?

[Toph is just grinning]

Is when I've known you for five years.

Is this harassment? I'm feeling way harassed. Dirty old lady probably just wants to see me in a wet t-shirt!

Wait...

[Cackling.]

One, blind. Two, I'm pretty sure you're older than me.

[What's he supposed to do except burst out laughing?]

I know, that's totally why it was funny!
