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.]

It's a sword. I have knives already. But, if you manage to pull it off, I'll be impressed.

[markofthewise]

Sword, knife, stick, whatever. Firebenders don't need weapons. But anyways, when I was working on it, I had it just about at the point where the parts wouldn't all fire off at the same time and nearly kill you in the process.

You won't look good when you're all on fire!

[latkje]

That must be difficult, then, when they come across something that won't burn.

It's a tricky piece of work. I wonder if I'll be able to use it?

[markofthewise]

They... burn it more. I guess.

Don't know, don't care. [FIREBEEEENDING]

[latkje]

Your priorities are remarkable.

[markofthewise]

Oh, please. Like I'd set myself on fire. That's what other people are for.

[markofthewise]

Have I told you about how great fire is?

[restoremyhonour.livejournal.com]

Other people can set you on fire?

1/?

[markofthewise]

No, I can set other people on fire. Like... bad people. And jerks. And earthbenders! And... and... the Water Tribe!

[Sokka suddenly realizes what he's saying. Just because he's acting like the way he thinks Firebenders are, doesn't mean he likes it now.]

[markofthewise]

I... I should go.

But anyways, I really don't know where else you'd be able to find the stuff. Maybe I could ask Toph if she recognizes the material from stuff she would've felt in the mountains.

Could you? That would be great.

[restoremyhonour.livejournal.com]

That's not the way the Fire Nation works anymore.

[markofthewise]

But I get half of whatever's found! I need to make flamethrowers for my feet and mouth too.

[markofthewise]

I know. It just... blurted out, that's all.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Right.

[markofthewise]

[It really is a good thing that this experiment ends tonight, or Sokka would so be dead.] What do you plan to use them for?

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Your flame thrower idea got me thinking that maybe I could put one in an automail arm!

[restoremyhonour.livejournal.com]

Maybe think more like uncle would.

And less like my father.

[markofthewise]

A flamethrower arm, huh? I like it! [If she hits him up after the event, he'll probably just give her one of the two he's set up.]
