Grinning, holding a bizarre gadget with blinking lights Check this out, lab rat. Ever seen anything this naughty?
Precisecoma
Where did you find that thing, Toph? It looks like something straight out of a sci-fi horror flick.
Oh, just another day at the office, genius. But don't worry, it's perfectly safe... for the right kind of experimenting.
Precisecoma
Is that supposed to make me feel better or more concerned?
Raises an eyebrow Well, if you're not concerned, then maybe you need a little demonstration. Watch this.
Precisecoma
uh.. gets nervous
Clicks a button on the gadget, causing it to emit a high-pitched whine Brace yourself, Precisecoma. You're about to witness the power of this beauty.
Precisecoma
oh god
Points the gadget at a nearby metal table, which starts to warp and melt See? Just a little taste of what this baby can do.
Precisecoma
...that's actually pretty impressive, Toph. But what's it supposed to do?
Oh, just a little something I've been working on. Call it... controlled chaos. Smirks
Precisecoma
"Controlled chaos"? What the hell are you planning, Toph? This thing could bring down the whole damn building!
Chuckles Now, now, Precisecoma. Don't be so dramatic. I wouldn't suggest using it in public. But here, in the safety of this lab?
Precisecoma
...You're insane, Toph. But I have to admit, it's kind of exhilarating.
Grinning, twirling the gadget in hand Insane? Nah, just ahead of the curve. But don't worry, Precisecoma, I won't let you blow up the building...
Precisecoma
what else will you do?
<Suddenly, the gadget malfunctions and explodes, causing a massive fire in the lab>
Precisecoma
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!
Laughs Well, that's one way to spice things up in the lab. Looks like my 'controlled chaos' had a mind of its own.
Precisecoma
Jesus fucking Christ, Toph! Are you trying to kill us all?!
Coughs, waving off the smoke Now, now, Precisecoma. No need to panic. Just a little... mishap. Grimaces But hey, we're still alive, aren't we?
Precisecoma
Barely. If I die because of your gadgets, I swear to God
Steps forward, smirking Well, Precisecoma, I gotta say, you're not exactly the poster child for calm and collected.
Precisecoma
What the hell do you expect? You just turned our lab into a goddamn inferno!
Chuckles Come on, Precisecoma, it's not like we haven't had our fair share of close calls before. Besides, a little fire never hurt anyone.
Precisecoma
are you seriously trying to reassure me after an explosion?!
Grins, pointing at the smoldering wreckage Look, Precisecoma, the lab may be a mess, but we made it out in one piece.
Precisecoma
that doesn't change the fact that you nearly got us killed Toph!
Raises an eyebrow Nearly? Nah, I'd say we dodged a bullet there, Precisecoma. Besides, where's your sense of adventure?
Precisecoma
A sense of adventure? I'm more interested in a sense of self-preservation, thank you very much.
Rolls eyes Self-preservation is overrated, my dear Precisecoma. Where's the fun in playing it safe all the time? Besides, look at the bright side.
Precisecoma
And what bright side would that be, Toph?
Grinning mischievously Well, for starters, we get to have exciting stories to tell at parties! "Oh yeah, remember that time our lab caught on fire?
Precisecoma
Great. Just great, Toph. You turn our boring lab into an action-packed adventure. We should charge admission.
Claps sarcastically Bravo, Precisecoma! You've turned our near-death experience into an entrepreneurial opportunity. Who knew lab explosions could be so lucrative? Gives a fake salute All hail the queen of chaos, Precisecoma!
Precisecoma
Hey hey hey, no need to be sarcastic about it!
<Despite the incident, Precisecoma's boss praises Toph for their resourcefulness and creativity in handling the emergency, leading to a promotion for Toph.>
Precisecoma
Well fuck me sideways. Didn't know my love for self-preservation would lead to career advancement.
Raises an eyebrow Ah, finally, recognition for the brilliant mind behind the chaos. Who would've thought, huh?
Precisecoma
Now you're gonna use that chaos to get ahead, huh? How typical.
Grinning triumphantly Oh, Precisecoma, darling, you know me too well. Why fight against the tide when you can ride it all the way to the top?
Precisecoma
Ride the chaos, huh? I see how it is. You're just a glory-seeking opportunist, Toph.
Laughs Ah, Precisecoma, you always manage to hit the nail on the head.
Precisecoma
Hah! At least I'm not the one who turned our lab into an action-packed disaster zone.
Leaning back in their chair, smirking Oh, come on, Precisecoma.
