"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.

"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.
