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. >.>))

[... Oh! This is interesting. Razette looks at him from the fountain, humming curiously. What is he doing?]

[A wave in greeting.]

Hello young lady. I think you need some advice.

[Her ears perk up at that. Advice? What kind?]

Yes... I think you need to learn about strategic hugging.

[...? She makes a curious hum. Huh?]

Oh yes, I can read you quite accurately. You are a girl who hugs excessively, to the point that each hug no longer carries any meaning.

[... Her ears droop at that. But all those hugs mean something.]

Yes! You must be sparing with your hugs. Use them only when they really, really matter.

[She lets out a loud hum, trying to urge him on. Like when?]

I see you'd like to know when the appropriate times are, hm? Very well. How about a test first?

♪~? [Test?]

I'll take that as a yes!

[Ahem.] You see a friend, one you saw only yesterday. Do you:
A) Wave in greeting
B) Run over and hug them
C) Wait until they say something first
D) Try to avoid being noticed

[... She raises two fingers. The second one?]

No no no! Wrong! Incorrect! Try again!

[... Changing to Wang Fire face. Does this work?]

[Blink.]

Don't do that!

[She returns to her own face then, looking confused. She forgot the options you just gave her again.]

[That look of confusion is lost on him.]

Well?

[... She thrusts her hand out for a handshake. Does this work?]

[He considers.]

Better! But the correct answer was to wait for them to say something.

[She shakes her head at that. She doesn't agree!]

... excuse me? Are you doubting the beard, young lady?

[Headtilt. Why would she doubt the beard? The beard never said anything.]

Question Two!

You see someone you've never met. Do you:
A) Greet them with a wave
B) Run over and hug them
C) Greet them with a wave, and run over and hug them
D) Do nothing and hope they go away
