Who: Anyone
When: Day 150, morning (Maybe slightly forward dated since it's a jump from the last post.)
Where: Common Area
What: Weather Station Exploradora

[It's a kind of overcast today. Lucky it hasn't actually rained yet!]

[And there's this lady, waiting in the Common Area, watching the clouds rather impassively. Or maybe slightly annoyed/worried, depending how well you can read linefaces. There are two cases at her feet. And there is a white board at her side.]

['LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS FOR WEATHER MONITORING STATION SET UP' written in bold letters. 'Yes, you will receive payment for your work' written in smaller text under it.]

Go that way. It's shallower.

[points]

--Really? How can you tell?

I can sense earth. The riverbed is higher there, which means the water is lower.

OOh, that's a cool power! [OK, heading over to where she pointed]

[It is indeed shallower water! Though in the middle, it is getting up along Kengo's neck even on his toes if he's trying to stand in the way, but it should be a short enough section to get across safely if you're careful.]

[which means Toph is probably having to cling to Kengo's back]

[She can sit on his shoulders and keep the equipment and his clothes from getting wet. He wavers in the current a little bit since it's pretty strong.]

We're almost there! [Sounds a little out of breath but they should be fine]

[Just don't fall over in the current. Go go go~]

Don't drop me!

I-it's okay, it's fine! Please be careful about the choking

[She can feel the water moving back down to her feet rather than being up to her thighs]

[And finally, you manage to make it across the river! Hopefully without slipping in the muddy bank after you're out, but the river has been conquered.]

[The compass still points forward.]

[will wait to be put down]

I hate water.

Maybe there'll be a better way back. It's still pretty cold for this kinda thing. [Shaking off water and tossing his jacket back on at least.]

Maybe I can build a bridge or something. Or damn the river...

It's a lot of water to block off, so a bridge would probably be easier. Well, let's just keep going for now, we can figure it out on the way back!

[ONWARD]

[onward]

Yeah. Water's got to go somewhere.

[You continue on for a little bit. Toph may notice that there's a series of small tunnels under foot. Not too odd with the prairie dog like creatures about, but there's no barking to be heard.]

[But then there is movement eventually and something pops out of the burrows ahead of them.]

[The little creature looks like this. All big ears and fluffy tailed and it's only about a foot long with gray fur. It's certainly not one of those prairie dogs.]

[And it's crawling out of the burrow and bounding towards them! Looking all the world like an excited dog more than anything.]

[what is that]

[is it attacking or playing?]

Hey, we're not the gophers. Go chase them.

Whoa, they're pretty cute!

Hey buddy~

[Who knows, but heart rate says it's excited as all get out, can you tell the difference between attacking and playing with that?]

[And seems to feel no fear of bounding over to rip and tear and shr-]

[No, actually it just wants to sniff you and lick you all over, running between you two as if it can't decide who to focus on.]

[and I was prepared to pull it off Kengo too.]

Awful friendly for something that's never seen people before.

Yeah, I wonder why.

[Because you guys are AWESOME, clearly. So new and exciting and yay!]

[It does seem to decide on what to investigate, stopping to sniff and lick at Toph's feet.]

Hey, that tickles!

[It's INTERESTING.]

[SniffsniffsniffLICK.]
