markofthewise | Wang Fire 2

[The recent arrival of Hawky has Sokka remembering the Fire Nation. The old days... when Sokka was another person. When he was a man. A man with a beard. Not only that, but it's a rather warm day for September. Sort of like... a Fire Nation summer. And it just so happens, he has a beard. He always has a beard. So he digs out his long neglected Fire Nation clothes (which are tighter than he remembered them being), moves his hair up into a top knot, uses some red dye on his wings, and applies a layer of glue to his face and eyebrows, applying his beard and busy brows. Wang Fire is back.

He sets up a booth in front of the plaza. Beside him, on a special stand, is Hawky. Cleverly disguised as well, with a small fez (with a Fire Nation emblem) strapped on his head. He is, of course, giving free advice today. He even leaves a voice post on the journal, using a very deep voice that sounds nothing like Sokka.]

Fellow citizens of Luceti. Do you need... advice? If you do, talk to the great Wang Fire. Troubled romance, missing home, family issues, or even trouble deciding what to eat for dinner. I can help!

((ooc: Will be answering tags with

beardofthewise. And yes, canonically, this is actually a convincing disguise. >.>))

...And you really think you can help?

Of course I can. Why wouldn't I be able to?

I don't know, a lot of people have already tried.

They only tried. You can either do, or do nothing. There is no try.

Oh yeah, your infinite wisdom really shows.

You're using sarcasm to turn this all back on me. Why do you fear opening yourself up?

I barely even know you.

If that's the case, what better advice is there than that from an impartial stranger?

You know, that skin color you have is really unique.

If you're not pursuing wisdom, perhaps I'm not the person you should be talking to, young lady.

I have a friend with the same complexion. Maybe you know him?

[He narrows his eyes a bit.]

Possibly. I know a lot of people who get plenty of sun.

I don't know, I've been here a while and haven't seen many people as dark as you guys. He has a sister, you know. Before you they were the only two with such rich colored skin.

... are you attempting to say something about me? I hadn't realized this village was exclusively pale.

No, not at all. I was just pointing out some facts.

Irrelevant facts. But if you don't have anything you need, I'm sure there's other people who would accept help.

Fine! Maybe I'll bring my friend I told you about here. He's got some problems you might be able to fix.

[He leans forward.]

Interesting. So you're saying your friend has many problems, but you have none? Or perhaps, you are not willing to admit you have them?

None that I'm willing to share with you.

But you'd share the problems of someone else? They call that gossiping

Not if I bring him to you. We're really close, and I'm sure he'd benefit from your sagely advice.

And yet, you think you wouldn't. Does this mean you consider yourself superior to him?

Considering the fact I don't pretend to be old men? Yes, yes I do.

[He merely shakes his head.]

I think I know what your problem is.

Is that so?
