1. video [upside-down]
[A video feed begins, displaying a small girl sitting on her bed in her apartment quarters. She's fiddling with the placement of her netbook as it records, but she doesn't seem to realize it's... filming upside-down. When she's erroneously confident it's pointed in the right direction, she crosses her arms and grins.]
Hello, everyone. My name is Toph Beifong! I'm a new person here, but if you're from my world, you've probably heard of me. Greatest earthbender who ever lived, pioneer of metalbending, celebrated war hero. Not to mention a wanted person for a while, too. And the star of a smash-hit play.
[she straightens up and tips her head, apparently pretty proud of all that.]
Anyway, I wanted to let everyone know that I'm blind, so I can avoid having to explain it to each of you every time we meet. But - don't think I'm asking for your help or anything either, I can get around fine with earthbending. Basically, just don't bother coming at me with any pictures or books or papers or whatever. I can't see them or read 'em.
[she pauses as if about to say something else, and then suddenly brightens.]
Oh! I was gonna say not to bother sending me text messages either... but actually, I was messing with this thing earlier and I found out it could read them to me! [As she says it, she waves her hands in the air excitedly.] I mean they gave me one with special buttons just for me, so that I'd be able to use it, which is so cool already, but I never thought it would read for me on top of it! How awesome is that?!
[very awesome, because she's all smiles now.] So, I guess that even though you basically kidnapped us right when we were ready to start relaxing... I should say thanks to you Initiative people, too. I can't really think of anyone ever giving me something like this! You know... something that I normally wouldn't be able to use, but it's fixed so I can. It's kinda nice.
Anyway, uh... nice to meet you all! [she reaches towards the camera again and the video ends.]

Mister, if you can't understand even that explanation, I don't think any other explanation is gonna help ya.
no subject
There must be more depth to your actions than throwing rocks. At best, your liberal use of phrase lends a colorful impression of it.
no subject
If you're asking so you can learn it, don't bother. You're either an earthbender or you're not. You can tell pretty early on when you're a kid if you can do it or not.

Besides--there is nothing that may trump me. The machinations of an 'ability' are, at best, something worthy of my curiosity.
