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.]

I didn't mean it in that sense.

[markofthewise]

Well whatever, that's not the point. One unit, two units? The important thing is that I'm not Sokka, Warrior of the Water Tribe anymore. I'm Sokka the Firebender from now on.

But you can keep calling me just Sokka.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Right. So what made you want to create a flame thrower?

[markofthewise]

So I could shoot fire from my hands! But since I can't use magic or firebending, I figured I'd just do it with science!

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

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

[markofthewise]

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

[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.

[markofthewise]

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.]

[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.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

So now you're justifying it?

[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?

[markofthewise]

[fffff] I'm not the one who was upset, you were!

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

[markofthewise]

Oh haha. It is to laugh.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I didn't upset you, did I?

[markofthewise]

Firebender Sokka is not so easily angered, young Winry.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

'Young Winry,' huh? How old are you then?

[markofthewise]

I happen to be a month shy of sixteen.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Really? I'm a year older than you.

[markofthewise]

[...]

Oh.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Problem?

[markofthewise]

Nope! No problem at all!

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Alright. So you're telling me I have to dismantle a gun if I want a flint spark?
