One of those intro posts

Hi! I'm K, and once upon a time (almost exactly a year ago?!) I played Toph on the turtle under dustonmyfeet. I've been enabled/lured back again due to Avatar-type people babbling on my timeline. Life's a little crazy that way. I always loved the game, though, and I'm excited to be back!

So have one Toph Bei Fong from Avatar: The Last Airbender. She'll be appearing on the turtle from the exact canon point she left from, which means all her previous memories of the turtle are intact.

. . . Basically this ends up meaning you get a Toph who fell asleep one night about a year ago in the Tushan plotline and will now wake up fast-forwarded to find all her CR vanished, Malicant defeated, and actual castmates from her own time. Please bear with her as she tries to wrap her brain around the paradigm shift. XD;

Looking forward to tackling new CR and all the shenanigans! <3 (Give me all of them, plz!) Also feel free to add me on Plurk at twistofmoirae!

The sigils are very similar to what's on the Dreaming gateways, yep. Not the same, but they can work in similar ways.

The foundation, not so much, since Anton has disconnected the ley-wards. When he is examining them it would leave vibrations, though--like a live but disconnected wire--but he doesn't have a current reason to do that.

Things like plumbing and energy are stored elsewhere and transmitted as needed, so Toph might feel vibrations when someone turns on a tap or a light (and track where it's been turned on, from the sounds of it). Temperature control is more widespread ... that's probably more of a surface thing rather than an effect internal in the walls, so she wouldn't feel that.

Okay, that makes more sense. This definitely would make her curious, especially if she can't determine the source. She got used to water and electricity from previous dealings with Keelai, but they had a definite source and could be traced through the feel of the pipes or the wires.

Haha, we got there eventually; apologies. Sigils would definitely track as more all over the place than usual plumbing. Sounds good!

If you've got any other questions about the Hotel's workings, feel free to toss me a PM or use the Hotel's status page in Anton's journal here.
