16 Water Whips .//. (Goldenrod) [Vd + Act]  
[ This video is being filmed by Carla, though the accomplices, Mr. Poly-Rolls and Kishi are immediately nearby. Kishi is acting as the platform to give various vantage points

and also blocking the camera from Katara's immediate view. Katara is in the room with Sokka, but neither know they're being recorded. She walks into view first. ]


Weird things have happened before, but I've never gotten anything from home till now.

[ Katara is wearing unfamiliar red clothes. They're pretty revealing around the midriff but she doesn't seem the least bit uncomfortable about that. Look who got their Christmas presents! And then Katara can be seen turning her head and-- ... ] Sokka, don't tell me that's what you got from home! You'd better not have used actual glue again.

[ The camera whips sharply towards the vanity in the room then, where Sokka is preening a BEARD that he definitely did not have a month ago.

Or yesterday for that matter.

There is also an exaggerated voice to go with it. ]


MY DEAR SAPPHIRE. Of course I did. It will be very useful if we ever need to fool someone!

[Unless they're watching this broadcast but.]

... [ Just. Sighs.

Do you see what you are traveling with now, Heiji, DO YOU?

Carla gives up the fight to stay quiet and falls onto the floor laughing. The last thing the video feed captures besides the tumble and the ceiling afterwards is Katara's footsteps coming over before it shuts off. ]

(ooc: Video responses will be threadjacked by Sokka Wang Fire, so beware! Or tell us if you don't want threadjacking.)

You know... if you wanted to fool people, it may not be a good idea to let this broadcast.

We didn't know that it was recording. Carla has a habit of getting a hold of my gear, lately. [ The Marowak in question seems rather nonplussed about this, polishing her bone club. ] Not that I have any need to trick anyone.

Yeah, but Sokka's disguises are usually more over the top. [ THAT'S MY BRO. ] I think we've had to use disguises at least seven times in the past year. Personally I think I liked my Painted Lady disguise the best.

[And still in the deep, silly voice:]

Your point is taken. It is extraordinarily kind of you to take the time to point this out to us, and if Wang Fire can ever do you a service, consider it rendered cheerfully!

It is indeed Wang Fire. With the Wang coming first. Because a Fire Nation man named "Fire" as a given name is just ridiculous. Yes, sir.

We woke up and found these things waiting for us. I have no idea where they came from, but we were trying them out. [ Grins. ] I got my disguise from back home, and Sokka, too...

[ Giggling. ] Your brother's disguise comes with a beard?

It did. [ Laughing eyes, laughing eyes!

Well, that earns a flustered look, but a smile. ]


Thank you, Lacus. I'm kind of guessing everyone in Johto got something from home. How about you?

Thank you, Sir --- I mean, Sokka, isn't that right?

Are they from your home?

[identity profile] doesactivities.livejournal.com on December 28th, 2011 11:48 am (UTC)
I might know a Sokka, if he wasn't clearly not from a Fire Nation place like I am, since Sokka is clearly not a Fire Nation name.

[How much of this is serious and how much is Sokka goofing off? Well, we'd like to think he's a better actor than this, but he ain't that good at being put on the spot without think time first...]

But yes, they are from my home.

Oh! I am sorry, Sir. I was fooled by your strong resemblance to the younger man.

[ She did enjoy his goofing off ... but she smiled seriously when he did. ]

I am more used to seeing Katara in blue ... the designs on your current clothes look different. Made for different weather maybe.

I don't know, he told them what they wanted to hear and it all worked out just fine. [ Was nervous as getout going in there but-- ] They didn't seem to think too highly of us to start with because of where they thought we were from. [ They probably didn't think twice about it. ]
