7th Episode [Phone calls]

[bamboozler]

[Phone calls locked to aristocracy!]

[Welcome to the 1950's. Mr. Panda is a successful banker and father known around town as a jovial and, unfortunately, clueless man. His biggest successes are Bearbank, his little princess Pilouette, his very dear daughter Toph...and, eh, there might be a third child in the middle there somewhere. Maybe.

Now that he's made his wealth, he spends a lot of his time gossiping! So if you're in the aristocracy and/or on good terms with Panda, you might get one of the following phone calls.]

[Night One]

Hello, hello...! Do you ever want to pick up a really awesome talent, even if it means you have to risk your life to learn it? Is there anyone in town like that?

[Night Two]

Hello, hello...! Don't mind me, just go ahead and start talking! Ah! But first, don't you get a really good feeling when you say "Mr. Panda" out loud? It's great, isn't it?

[Night Three]

Hello, hello...how do you think I should get beautiful women to fall in love with me without even trying? With Pillo and Toph and the other at the dance, I realize it's very quiet around here...

[Option 4]

[On night one, two, or three, Panda is still going to call your character...but what he talks about will be a total surprise! Are you brave enough to take that call?]

[OOC; Since Panda is physically using a phone for this post, this post is only open to rich people and people he might know (teachers, doctors, bank customers...). Sorry. If you pick option 4, just tell me what night and I'll have Panda come up with something just for your character. o7]

Mm...Pillouete's clothes never get that dirty. If people are giving you a rough time at school, it's okay to tell me. I'll make sure they don't get away with it, Toph.

[seismicity]

That's because she doesn't know how to have fun... [ Toph shifts in her seat, trying not to sound suspicious. ] Don't worry about it, Dad. I can take care of myself! I'm your tough Toph, remember?

[bamboozler]

Is that what you're doing...having fun? [She hasn't really answered his question, but he finds himself nodding. He's easily caught up in conversations like that.] That's right! Just be careful, alright...? Your daddy still worries~!

[seismicity]

[ She nudges her dad with her shoulder, almost roughly but not quite there. After all, she was still pretty tiny compared to her bear of a father. ]

I'll be careful, I promise. Anyway, if anything weird happens, I've got Fluffles to watch out for me. So it's cool.

[bamboozler]

[He ruffles her hair. Miraculously, his claws never touch her! That'd certainly be confusing, because he doesn't have claws. He's a person. (He's a panda).]

That's right...but Fluffles can't do all the work, okay? Just be careful for me, okay?

[seismicity]

Sure, Dad. I can do that. [Toph smiles. That wasn't promising not to do anything else, technically! So it all works out.]
