Post your comments or questions to Toph about the episode "The Runaway" here.

*runs back into forum after their close escape from Combustion Man after her and Katara's last "scam" went a little sour*

Wow, that was a close call!

*runs in after toph*

*Once she comes to a stop she places her hands on her knees as she tries to chatch her breath*

Your telling me. *takes a deep breath* Toph, If I ever sugest doing a scam again. Do me a favor and earth bend me into the nearest river.

*lets herself fall onto her back on the ground breathing heavily, but still manages to crack a smile*

Yeah, but I gotta admit, that was pretty fun!

Nice trick with the sweat there Katara to break us out of that wooden cell. Didn't know you could be so disgustingly creative.

*blushes ans she makes her way to a chair*

Well it was a last minute thing. But at least now I know I'm never with out water to bend.

We make pretty good team....too bad we didn't get that reward though.

*still likes the idea she has a wanted poster nickname*

*jumps up from her seat and puts her hands on her hips*

No! no more scams!

We have plenty of money we don't need any more of it.

*raises herself up on her elbows at Katara's motherly outburst but is not offended this time*

Okay, okay....but it WAS a lot of money

*sighs and starts to pace a bit*

True, but scamming is deffenitly more trouble then it's worth.

*she goes back to sit on the chair* I'm just glad we were able to get away.

I mean why is combustion man chasing us?

Got me. He doesn't seem like your typical Fire Nation soldier. Wonder where he came from?

He's a pretty interesting creep though, I gotta admit.

*screatches*Intresting!?!

*throws up her hands*

He's actually trying to kill us!

*jumps in*

*painted something on his forehead that looks like an eye*

BOOOOO!!!

He does seem a bit determined about that. Wonder why he stopped chasing us?

I mean I threw some bolders his way, but from our last encounter, that didn't seem to phase him in the least. We only got away the last time because we had Appa.

*sensed Sokka's approach and doesn't flinch*

*sees Sokka and jumps*

Don't do that!

*bends some sweat off her brow and water wips him*

*is cover is sweat*

EWWW!!! GROSS! GROSS!

*jumps around*

Get it off me get it off me!! :(

*crosses her arms* serves you right for trying to scar me.

*Turns to Toph* Yes and freezing him didn't seem to work either.

*frowns* I wonder what we could do to stop that guy.

*laughs at Sokka*

Like you didn't "see" that one coming Sokka!

I don't know, but at least he's not too hard to sense coming. With that metal leg clanking around he's pretty easy to distinguish. Just wish I knew what his weaknesses are.

*rolls a wad a siliva around in her mouth thinking and an odd thought pops up in her head*

Hey Katara, if you can make water from sweat, I bet you could make something really disgustingly creative from your own spit.....like spit daggers....now THAT would be cool!

I know one weakness of his.. -_O

Oh? What's that Lora?

Spit dagers ... ewww ...

*shutters* I don't think I could do that.

*looks over at Lora* really? what is it?

*wipes the sweat off*

*listen closely to Lora*

Well you gotta admit Katara, it would have a whole new meaning for Zuko to get spit in the face, lol

*giggles* Well if it's to use on Zuko.

.... I'm in.

Aw...your swamp cousins would be proud!

Now getting back to Combustion Man. Who do you think sent him after us? I mean if the Fire Nation knows Aang is alive wouldn't they just send their troops after him instead?

Yes that is what I just don't get.

And we've never had anyone after us who actually wanted to kill us. Usually they just want to capture us.

*starts to pace* what could this mean?

Well except for Princess Azula, but I don't think she would send someone else to take away her fun.

In any case, I think we need a plan to deal with him.

*turns head to Sokka looking expectantly for an answer*

You have to hurt the eye on his forehead... A pebble hit the eye on his forehead and he seemed to be in alot of pain when it did... -_O

Smart choice on firing the small pebble at that Eye to block his chi, Toph. ^^

And I never knew that you had such good aim. o.o

*didn't realize she did anything*

*shrugs shoulders*

I wasn't really aiming at his eye. I just chucked a big boulder at the dude, heard the explosion and kept running.

Well at least you now know a weakness.

first off, zuko hired that 3-eyed creep to kill aang. secondly he has a metal arm and leg so next time you guys run into combustion man, toph why don't you metalbend his arm and leg so that would leave him unable to follow you guys.

I'm kinda surprised...I mean, Zuko has always chased me, but no one's ever wanted us dead before.
Coinman has a good idea, Toph. If you metal bend his arm over top of that thing on his head or something, he won't be able to do that combustion thing any more. If we run into him again, anyways...I hope we don't.

Somehow, Twinkle Toes, I don't exactly picture him as a guy who easily gives up.

And though your idea is a pretty good one Coinman, there's one big problem with it. I usually have to be in contact with the metal in order to bend it. I doubt I'd be able to get that close to Combustion Man without getting fried myself.

well it was a nice idea anyways i just was giving some suggestions on how to get rid of that creep.

No problem. Appreciate the suggestion anyways. Frankly we can use all the help we can get to deal with this guy.

By the way, has anyone seen my metal bracelet? You know the one I made from that space earth Sokka gave me? I left it here in the camp when Katara and I went back in town to pull that scam because I was afraid the guards would take it from me. But I can find it now. It was in my bag.

*hears Momo chittering in the background and turns to face the lemur suspiciously*

Momo, did you take my bracelet????

Oooh. Yeah. I knew that, I was just...testing you, Toph. ^^;; -scratches back of neck-
But, no, I haven't seen it... -glances suspiciously at Momo-

This message is for Toph,Aang,Sokka and Katara , I wanted to let you all know i look up to you all so so much you all have shown me that not matter if your a water ,earth ,air, bender or worrier that you can do anything .

:aflag: :wflag: :eflag: :wflag:

*looks up at Toph and Aang with big eyes holding a cracked open lechy nut in paws, with several more empty shells scattered about feet*

* Falls on the ground, face first, then looks up to see momo* Woah! Momo! *Chases after Momo* :momo1: :air:

-stares suspiciously at Momo-
Momo...? o.O Have you seen Toph's meteorite bracelet?
