Wang Fire 2 - [Action/Voice]

[markofthewise]

[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. >.>))

Ah yes, I understand. An older brother who you fear you'll never be able to live up to. [He rests his hands underneath his beard.]

You are your own person, young lady. Never forget that.

[Dramatic sigh.] But it's just so hard. He keeps doing...

[markofthebrave]

...these ridiculous, embarrassing things. I'm afraid I'll never get over it, let alone live it down.

[beardofthewise.livejournal.com]

[He is seemingly unbothered by all of this.]

Perhaps you feel embarrassed because of your own self esteem issues. Do you often compare yourself to others unfavorably?

[markofthebrave]

No, I'm pretty sure it's him. Do you know, he's taken on the most ridiculous last name?

[beardofthewise.livejournal.com]

Is that so? May I ask you a question?

[markofthebrave]

I don't know. Is that your normal method of advice giving?

[beardofthewise.livejournal.com]

I prefer to cut to the heart of the matter. Do you think it's healthy to expect others, your own brother even, to conform to your own standards and expectations? Do you think that's fair for him?

Hmm... [She appears to give this great thought.]

Frankly?

[markofthebrave]

Yes!

[beardofthewise.livejournal.com]

[He shakes his head forlornly.]

I see. I'm afraid you're beyond help.

[markofthebrave]

I could say the same thing about you. [Leaning over and tugging lightly on the tip of his beard.]

You're obsessed with facial hair! There's got to be some cure. It's unhealthy.

[beardofthewise.livejournal.com]

Ow! OW! [It's GLUED ON and that hurts.]

Please! Not the beard!

[markofthebrave]

[Which is why she tugged it lightly!

And now she just shakes her head.]

I can't believe you.

[beardofthewise.livejournal.com]

I have no idea what you're talking about. [Mr. Bird squawks.]

Neither does Mr. Bird. [With his fez.]

[markofthebrave]

Have you actually fooled anyone with that thing? Everyone here's known you for months.

[beardofthewise.livejournal.com]

[He shakes his head, clearly having no idea what she's talking about.]

You remind me of my old wife. She kept accusing me of things. And then she died.

[markofthebrave]

Really? You must miss her terribly. [So much false sympathy.]

You know, Luceti has a way of bringing people in, even when they're dead.

[beardofthewise.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid that ship has sailed. I'm with Ruby Fire now.

[markofthebrave]

My, that would make things awfully awkward for you if she showed up. And you give relationship advice while you're still with two women?

You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

[beardofthewise.livejournal.com]

Sometimes the best advice comes from experience. Such as, "Be careful who you marry, you might not like your first wife."

[markofthebrave]

"But if she shows up still married to you while you're married to someone else, you'd better learn how to run?" Thanks. But I think that most people could figure that out for themselves.

[beardofthewise.livejournal.com]

[Ahem] Sometimes, when you lose the person you love, you need the strength to move on.

[markofthebrave]

No, no. No need to try to explain. I just know that I'll be going to someone else for advice on my love life. After all, I met the most interesting guy the other day...

[beardofthewise.livejournal.com]

[Eyebrow.]

Is that so.
