"When she was running, she wasn't watching where she was going. The next thing the blonde girl knew, she fell through a hole. When she opened her eyes again, she discovered that she was no longer in Jump City or the desert.

Terra got off of the ground and dusted herself off. People were standing in a line, and seeing this prompted her to do just the same. Looking up at the gate, Terra looked at the two, giants with their clubs, and she gulped. "Great. What did I get myself into?" she muttered.

"Name?"

This stopped Terra's train of thought -- but she didn't hear what was asked of her. "I'm sorry?"

"What's the name, kid?"

"Oh! Uh. I'm Terra. Hey, what is this pl-?" Before she could finish her question Terra was handed a map and a small, rectangular shaped object. She stared at the object for a few seconds, wondering what she was supposed to be doing with it. "What's this?"

"An electronic journal. Better to have it now than having to buy it inside."

Inside of where, though? "Uh... thanks." Taking a deep breath, Terra walked inside of the city -- and her eyes widened upon entrance. She grabbed the map and opened it up.

Paixao, huh? Well, this might be a chance to start over.

Terra watched as Toph displayed these things she could do -- and was surprised. She had a good idea of what Earthbending meant, since she was a geomancer herself, but seeing it in front of her was different. She moved differently than Toph did. Terra easily guessed that her movement looked more sloppy in comparison to Toph's.

The last thing Terra saw Toph as when they ran into each other was an Earthbender. Toph wasn't helpless by any means, at least to Terra, but seeing her display of power impressed her very much. "That's amazing," she said, a wide grin on her face. "Seriously. Not too many people can use their other senses to do things like that."

Hmm. Since Toph was an Earthbender, maybe... "You know, they don't call it Earthbending from where I'm from, but they do call it geomancing. I'm what you can call a geomancer," she said. Although, Terra then realized something: with how her powers work, she wasn't in a position to brag.

Now Toph was able to be surprised. It wasnt that she hadn't sensed a certain scrap in the girl- if anything, she reminded her of herself a little bit, and it was almost unfathomable that they would posess the same kind of power. Toph was only hesitant in seeinf hoe Terra displayed these powers. It was always a good idea to evaluate anyone in your mind by the feeling you got, and if Toph was going to make any determination in what Terra was able to do, she'd have to "see" first hand. After all, a lot from Terra that she got was uncertainty, and if that were the case, it might leak out in other ways too.

"I never knew it was called anything but Earthbending," Toph said. "Well, in any case, if we have a similar power, I wouldn't mind seeing what you can do. Show me?"

"You really wanna see?" she asked. Uh, well, duh. Same powers. "... Well, all right."

She takes her stance and concentrates. Taking a look around at the citizens, she waited for an opportunity to display her powers without hitting anyone. When she saw an opening, she moved her arms upwards, rocks coming out of the ground and she threw them forward, as if she were throwing a ball. She then put her arms downwards and rose them up, taking rocks from the ground and tossing them up into the sky.

She looked to Toph, and rubbed the back of her head. "I can take up large rocks and fly on them, too, but I don't think anyone's going to like it if I made a bit ditch in the middle of the street," she said.

"I'm glad you realize that." Toph smiled, not condesendingly but more like she was evaluating someone. "You know, you really aren't half bad so long as you really out your heart into it. Oh, and you could use a little discipline...otherwise, you might hurt somebody right? But the power is all there: it really is my luck we wound up seeing each other. If I were along, there'd be no way I could show anybody what I can do, and I doubt you could either. Any way, maybe its fate or something."

Not that Toph believed in anything silly like predestined providence. "At any rate, we better hurry on to the soup kitchen, because after both of our displays, I think I feel pretty hungry. While we're there, we could meet that friend o yours and see what else we could find about thjis place, right?"

Toph flashed a genuine grin, glad to have met a girl who resemble her a little, even down to their size.

"You think?" she asked, feeling relieved. Sure, hearing that from the Titans, er, other people reassured her, but it was different when it came from another geomancer -- er, Earthbender. "You know, maybe it is fate. Not that I like thinking of things like that." Because if fate and destiny really were literal, fate probably hated Terra at this point in her life.

"Oh! Yeah, we really ought to get going. We really need to get somewhere warm, too. At this rate, my legs are going to start turning blue," she laughs. And if Toph notices, Terra was ready to lead her back down the path to the soup kitchen. "And who knows? Maybe she can give us the tour of this place if things go well between us," she said, trying to be optimistic about meeting Raven.
