Greet the (New) Meat! (no, don't eat them!)

[cityship]

By hook or by crook or by avoiding hook and crook, the crew assembled from the previous podpops eventually made it up to the Living Area to greet their new crew mates. The creepy sculpture was also there, though less to greet them than it was always there.

The strange, fleshy seating had multiplied. You really, really don't want to know how.

"I don't know," Toph said. "I bend. Rock." She looked extremely confused. "...wait. Geo-what?"

She shrugged. "I, uh. Make rocks move. Using my qi."

"Yeah, that's a geokinetic," Kon affirms. "At least where I come from. Uh, has anyone told you the whole deal yet?"

"What deal?" Toph shrugged, trying to not look bothered by how everyone was being vague and skirting around issues.

She tended to like things straight-up.

"I know I'm not in any of the Four Nations anymore, if that's what you mean."
