Sokka the 10th - [Action]

[markofthewise]

[With the day nearing its end, Sokka is finally ready to go public with the occupation he's been working on all week. So now he steps into the village square. Two metal tanks are strapped to his back, both filled with 'fuel'. Connected to each one of them is multiple-jointed metal piping used to house and protect a hose, both which connect to two specially designed nozzles on his hand. How are they activated? A lever for each hand, that when he pulls it, releases the liquid from the tanks in a stream as well as lighting a spark to ignite it.

So what is he doing? Why, he's showing off his fancy Firebending moves with varieties of "HYAH!" and "HWUH!" and so forth while he uses his dual flamethrowers to show off how awesome he is. This is potentially the most dangerous and stupid thing he's ever done. Hopefully he won't blow himself up, even though he's clearly put a lot of work into his newest invention.

Thanks to Nash, the area he is showing off in is now roped off for your protection.]

Yeah, just a little. How about you?

[latkje]

I've been busy slowly getting older. It takes a lot of effort, on my part.

[restoremyhonour.livejournal.com]

What do you mean by that?

[markofthewise]

When was the last time you bent lightning?

[markofthewise]

Well, I hate to tell you that your efforts don't seem be paying off. You still don't look a day over 45.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

What are you using to ignite the flame? Not the candles anymore, I suppose.

[latkje]

I said slowly. And I know I don't look anywhere near 45, but nice try.

[markofthewise]

When I pull these levers here, it causes metal to strike some flint, creating a spark to ignite the fuel.

[markofthewise]

Can you blame a guy for trying?

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I was hoping you'd say that! Where'd you find the flint rock? I'd like some for my own projects.

[restoremyhonour.livejournal.com]

That is beside the point. You're wanting to be a firebender, and therefore ba a part of the Fire Nation, as that is the only place fire benders come from. And as the Fire Lord I will only let the best into the Fire Nation.

It was in one of those 'gun things' in the smithy. Nobody was using it, so I figured, what was the harm in using it for parts? [Besides the fact that Elisa will probably kill him.]

[markofthewise]

Yeah, well, I'll just be like Iroh and be a Firebender somewhere else. I don't need to be in the Fire Nation to be great.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

So you stole it?

[markofthewise]

I happen to run the smithy now, thank you very much. Besides, it's not stealing if everything is free.

[latkje]

In fact, I rarely blame a guy for succeeding.

[Still, Sokka, the fire canisters. Suspicious.]

So, what exactly are you doing?

[markofthewise]

Oh, nothing much. I'm a firebender now, doing my bending.

[latkje]

What's a fire bender?

[restoremyhonour.livejournal.com]

My uncle was still a member of the Fire Nation, even if he was somewhere else. Anyone who firebends is tied to the Fire Nation. You, firebender Sokka, are a member of the Fire Nation.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

So now you're justifying it?

[markofthewise]

A jerk who bends fire! [No wait, Firebenders aren't jerks. He's a firebender.]

I mean, a person who controls the element of fire and can control it with with own motions. Like so! [He fires out a blast at an innocent lump of snow.]

[latkje]

But, aren't you controlling it with your tank? Never mind. I take it you've given up blacksmithing.

[markofthewise]

I am? Well great! No problem then, great to be part of the team, Fire Lord Zuko. Now if you'll excuse me I'll just-


HYAH! [He incinerates some snow.]

[markofthewise]

Everything in the stores are free to take! The gun was in a store, I took part of it!

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Then why so upset?
