[Console: Video]
[The person on the console screen looks shockingly like Sokka. Have you ever seen Sokka before in person? Then it's pretty easy to tell that the person on the screen actually is Sokka. He's got Sokka's eyes, Sokka's skin colour, and a somewhat similar style of hair given that there's still something like a small swish of hair at the top of his head.
[Except, he doesn't look exactly like Sokka. Unlike the Water Tribe warrior, his hair is slightly different—worn down instead of strictly pulled back. He's sporting a rather large moustache and a rather glorious beard. He's sporting the colour red instead of the colour blue, even if his clothes is somewhat makeshift. And above all else, he doesn't sound like Sokka. The man is talking with a rather posh and sophisticated accent and a pitch that's at least an octave or two lower than Sokka's normal voice.
[But it's still Sokka. Though perhaps if one hasn't seen him before, he might be mistaken for someone completely new.]
Greetings and salutations, my dear citizens of the Shell.
My name is Fire. Wang Fire! Sophisticated gentleman and trained psychotherapist, at your service. [He twirls his moustache with his right hand, as if to add embellishment to the declaration.]
It's come to my attention that, of late, there's been quite the rumblings of frustration on the account of a good many people that I've had the pleasure of making acquaintances of. And why ought it not to be the case? The Shell has changed so dramatically over the past few weeks, almost to no one's general preference. And so it's with this in mind that I've decided, as a most magnanimous gesture, to offer my services to you all.
Should you perhaps need someone to talk to about matters of the mind or the heart, you might find me around the Midnight Hotel, where I'm currently staying. If you can't find me around, just ask around reception. They'll be able to summon me to your side in a jiffy.

Action
What part of playing along don't you get? [He's still wearing the bear and the moustache, but the voice isn't Fire's any longer; it's clearly Sokka's.]
Action
[Wan put his hands up and backed up a step.]
I didn't know you were faking it. You could have just told me.
Action
I was in character! I didn't exactly want to break it while I was talking to everyone else on the Shell. It's an important aspect of theatre! It's what helped me sneak into the Fire Nation Army as well as a Fire Nation school!
Action
Action
I mean, no... okay, look, it's complicated. It'd only be a con if I was trying to get something out of it. I mean, when I joined the Fire Nation Army, yes, that was a con! I was hoping to get some good intel out of them... figure out how they worked! Much like Aang was when he joined the school!
But here? I'm just trying to help people...
[By dressing up as someone entirely differently with a different speech pattern that wholly isn't Sokka. Don't question this logic. It's perfectly sound.]
Action
And how is dressing up like this and pretending to be someone else helping anyone?
Action
Action
[And he reached out to grab at it and test it.]
Action
[Yeah, it's glued on, and that's going to hurt like a mother.]
Hey, lay off the beard! It doesn't come off that easily!
Action
Why isn't it coming off?
Action
Action
[Wan gave a third tug - very light so it wouldn't actually hurt Sokka. But he also didn't let go.]
Does that mean if I tug too hard, you won't be able to grow a real beard?
[Tug. Tug.
Payback.]
Action
Why would I want to grow a real beard? Then my face would just always be scratchy!
[Still, nonetheless, Sokka gently grabs Wan's wrist and tries to just push it away... slowly... if he lets go.]
Re: Action
[He countered, but did finally let go as Sokka pushed gently on his wrist.]
And I have a fine beard.
Action
Action
[Wan blew a puff of air at it.]
Action
It does. But it's a necessarily evil of the disguise!
Action
[Wan blew another puff, but finally leaned back and let Sokka have his space. Then sighed dramatically.]
Well, I suppose if you're not doing anything underhanded I'll be able to let this whole... double identity thing go.
Action
Re: Action
[No hesitation.]
wow, rude
just telling it like it is
no subject
