Wang Fire - [Action]

[markofthewise]

[Today is a special day. The plaza, though still with a good amount of snow on the ground, is one of those places in the village where enough shoveling and foot traffic has removed most of the snow. Therefor somebody who was absolutely not Sokka saw an opportunity. By noon, a small one-person booth had been set up in front of the fountain. A sign above it reads "FREE ADVICE".

Sitting at the booth is a particularly distinguished looking Fire Nation man twirling his manly mustache and stroking a very refined beard. He certainly seems to know what he's talking about and he's casually greeting people as they go by in that deep, almost booming voice of his. Having stress? Don't know how to deal with your feelings? In love with someone but they don't know it?

Wang Fire is your man and his Free Advice Booth is open.]

It seems like that saying is backwards..

[markofthewise]

Nonsense! The Fire Nation is at the pinnacle of culture of the four nations. Now then, have a seat young man. What's your name?

[7bladesword.livejournal.com]

I don't know anything about the Fire Nation, so I cannot agree.

[But no, he will not have a seat. He will just come closer, and cross his arms.]

No-ah.

[markofthewise]

Well Mr. No-ah. I can see that you are dealing with a lot of anger issues, no doubt due to how often people mistake you for a woman. But fear not, there is hope for you yet!

[...The glare is back.]

...I'm not changing how I look...

[markofthewise]

Aha! I think I see it quite clearly now. You're not angry because of people's mistakes, you're seeking an avenue to vent other frustration. Tell me, my boy, what is it that really upsets you?

[7bladesword.livejournal.com]

That is not something I'd be willing to tell a stranger!

[markofthewise]

Well then, my name is Wang Fire. Now then, as you were saying?

[7bladesword.livejournal.com]

Just because you tell me your name, doesn't mean you're still not a stranger.

[markofthewise]

If you can't trust a stranger with your problems, who can you trust?

[7bladesword.livejournal.com]

My sister. [Even though she's too young for him to be able to tell her anything. =\]

[markofthewise]

And why haven't you already told your sister about all this anger you have?

[7bladesword.livejournal.com]

She is not here, and nor is she old enough to be able to understand.

[markofthewise]

So there is no one for you to talk to at all? How unfortunate for you, my boy. What you need to find is a close friend and confidante. It's the only way you'll move past your issues.

[7bladesword.livejournal.com]

That is not the only way...

[markofthewise]

And what would you suggest? After all, you seem only here to follow your own advice.

[7bladesword.livejournal.com]

I am only over here because you called me a girl. [Change of subject what?]

[markofthewise]

Then perhaps you should be on your way, young man. There are other people with problems who want advice.
