[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. >.>))

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?

Yes! [Ahem.]

You have no imagination. And your sense of humor needs work. Taking life too seriously is a very dangerous thing, especially for one so young and lovely looking.

No imagina-

What?

My line of work requires imagination, moron!

I have to specialize every order to the customers needs, while still sticking to my own style and create something unique for every client! Someone in my position can't produce something the same way twice! Business would become stagnant!

In fact I'll have you know Edward and I have begun to forge something completely unique, using a special metal! It'll be brilliant and nothing short of a Master Piece!

And the design came from my imagination.

So there!

[That rant was almost Katara-worthy. Well, not almost. It wasn't quite as scary. And he didn't tune all of it out. The last bit was interesting, but even so...]

You are using only examples of your work. Yes, that is imagination, but it's imagination being used for one thing. What about... everything else? The sky? The trees? The birds? Everything you see? Of course, this all just goes back to the sense of humor part...

[A disappointed shake of the head.] I'm afraid the only advice I can offer you is to go out and do something silly. It might be the only hope you have.

Sense of humor? Really? Coming from a guy whose sense of humor consists of bad jokes and pretending he's a therapist.
