Book 11: Memories Down the Stream [Voice/Action]
[By now, it almost seems like a way of Luceti - that whenever good news happens, it will be followed by bad before long. Just yesterday, Katara had come back to the house. As herself. But today? The house woke up to a different empty room. Toph's.
It seemed like so soon since she had given him his last metalebending lesson. He still had so much to learn. And he still remembered so clearly when she showed up, tunneling from the earth like the little badger mole she was. Her original presence in Luceti may have precluded his, but when she came back, she was from the same time as him. He know that aside from missing one of his best friends, he'd miss being able to relate to one of the few people from that time.
But in a way, Aang knew this could be for the best. He remembered how she had worried about her life, with everything the future had shown to them. The short time that her daughter was around. How Toph feared the possibility of having to live her life in Luceti without ever returning home, that she might not become the person she thought she was supposed to be. But now she didn't have to worry about that anymore. She could live that life for herself. And hopefully, she'd find peace and happiness in that life. They could all still be friends there, too, in that lifetime.
Aang spends a little time wallowing in his grief, first. After all, he misses her already. Then he remembers one of the first things she told him when arriving. "Missed me? After only a month? Come on, don't get sappy!" With a faint smile, he nodded before he rose to do what he had to do. Toph had put her hopes in him.
And he soon addressed the journals.]
Hi everyone. This is Aang. You should know that Toph Beifong is... She's gone back home. I guess our world can only go so long without its greatest Earthbender around. She left some letters to hand out, but everyone who knew her should know... She cared about you a lot more than she says. Even her punches had friendship in them.
[He grabbed the letters that she had left behind, knowing all too well what they all said. After all, he was the one who had to transcribe them for her.
And so, Aang starts to play the distribution game. He first gives out letters to those around the house. If there were any who did not find about Toph's absence at the same time as him, then he would give them the letter and the news prior to the journal announcement. Then, he seeks out Suki, Ion, Fenimore, Shikamaru, Masaomi and Saori to deliver their letters. If there's any he can't find, he'll leave the letter at the door of their house. Or in their mailbox. Do we have mailboxes?
He tries to go about his normal daily activities afterwards, showing few signs of anything wrong. Places to frequent include the Welcome Center, library, tea shop and item shop. And in the evening, after dinner, he takes some of the remaining metal sheets lying around the house out to the forest to do some metalbending practice on his own. Still, every time he messed up, he could almost feel the punches.]

action;
In a way, it is, Suki. But it's not your fault that you don't remember and no one should make it like it is. I don't know about any other people who've known you... but I know that we, your friends, we're doing our best to help you feel welcome. Cuz every Suki's our Suki, you know?
action;
I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have said anything. That was so selfish of me. [Guess she's still pretty bitter about everything.] I know. I know you guys have been there for me and welcomed me with open arms, and I'm really grateful for that. I don't mean to push you away, and I don't mean to draw the attention away from Toph leaving, but- [A sigh.] Maybe it would've been better if I left instead.
action;
The only thing I can say for sure, is... the only thing that's better than either of you leaving... is all of us leaving. Together.
action; -SORRY THIS IS LATE! Feel free to drop!!!
We should do something... for Toph. [To get the focus on who it should be on.]
action; -NOT SORRY THIS IS LATE! Feel free to dance!!!
action; -i'm too sick to dance
I was thinking something... physical. Like maybe something you can put in the house. Something that represents her?
action; -your heart still can
action; -can I?
action; -you can dance if you want to; you can leave your friends behind
action; -but what if they don't dance? or can't dance?
action; -then they're no friends of mine
action; -S!
action; -A!
action; -F!
action; -E!
action; -T!
action; -Y!
action; -DANCE!
action; okay
action; pie?
action; cake
action; the cake is a lie
action; the pants is a lie
action; and so is death?
action; absolutely
action; something clever and witty here
action; butts
action; you're a butt
action; so's your face
action; rude!
