[Sokka waves at the camera.]

Hi, I'm Sokka and... I have elemental magic. Would someone be willing to help me learn how to control fire... since that's all I seem to be able to do right now. Or teach me how to channel other elements, that works too. But mainly how to control fire.

[He looks kind of sheepish for needing to ask this, but that's that.]

My sister is a healer, so I'm sure she can heal any burn wounds that might happen while training.

Thanks.

poor sokka. the irony of it all.

[temptationaccomplished]

Goodness. I hadn't even considered the dangers that might come with these powers. Let me see if I can find my beau; he seems to be doing rather well with ice so far, and he had some fire powers before all this. He may have some tips.

[scotch_egg]

There goes the neighborhood.

[temptationaccomplished]

Excuse you? Now you cannot even blame this one on Creme. He didn't summon you up in the phone this time--there was no call placed. You inserted yourself into this situation.

[scotch_egg]

[he's carefully ignoring this]

[serpentinthegarden]

[ He looked up, ignoring the look alike, to lazily answer the angel's call. ]

Oven mitts.

[temptationaccomplished]

[That's really not all that helpful, says the angel's look in reply.
He turns back to the camera and Sokka.]

Young man, I apologize for both of them. I just cannot take them anywhere.

I do hope someone else has a better suggestion, since these two clowns see fit to turn this into their own personal comedy routines.

[scotch_egg]

I told you. Why would you expect to get any good advice out of that disaster. Do you see what he tries to squeeze himself into?

[temptationaccomplished]

The same clown car you arrived in, apparently.

[serpentinthegarden]

[ Some comment could have been made here about what Fell might have seen him squeezing out of too but as there was a kid on the line... ]

It's all about feeling. If you want something to burn imagine it burning, if you don't want something to burn imagine it holding together.

[temptationaccomplished]

Thank you.

[serpentinthegarden]

[ Trying not to look too pleased that he has just been thanked. ]

The kid still has to work on not burning the place down around him.

[temptationaccomplished]

Well, I suppose he'll have to learn water magic sooner or later.

[bendless]

I've been trying, but it seems like I need to control fire before I can do anything else.

[temptationaccomplished]

There's a specific order to these things?

[bendless]

There seems to be in my case because whatever I do I can't seem to do anything else.

[bendless]

That sounds... too simple, to be honest. Does it really work that easily?

[serpentinthegarden]

Yeah, it works that easily. Try... driving through a flaming wall without bursting into flames yourself. If you can do that then you've got it.

[bendless]

... yeaaaaah I'm not going to do that.

[Well... it seems like there's an... interesting trio of people around, suffice to say. But rather than comment on what the other responders are doing, Walter sticks to addressing only the original question.]

I ran into an older gent who was using ice magic earlier this month. I'll show him this next time I see him.

[bendless]

Thanks, I appreciate it. Any element is good to learn.

[angel_of_death]

No trouble at all. Good luck to you.

[bendless]

Thanks. You too, with whatever magic you ended up with.

[angel_of_death]

Much appreciated.

[He's sure he'll have a handle on it soon. It isn't too different from what he's used to, and he's relentless in his practising.]

Cheerio.

[mithrarin]

Trade you? I'm pretty good with wind, but I'm still working on the others.

[bendless]

I don't have much to trade since I can't really control my fire abilities. Otherwise I'd be really up to that.

[mithrarin]

Honestly, even just seeing how you get fire in the first place would help me. I'm used to wind... sort of, I suppose. But other things, not so much.

[bendless]

Oh. Well in that case, sure. I can show you the little I know.

[mithrarin]

Do you use a weapon? If so, that might help, so you should bring it.

[bendless]

I have a few. Would you rather have me take a sword or a boomerang with me.

[mithrarin]

I'm most familiar with a sword. What's a boomerang?

[Noooot exactly a weapon Falana had ever thought up.]

[bendless]

It's a curved projectile weapon that comes back when you throw it.

[mithrarin]

Oh. That seems like it should be easy to work with for wind manipulation, so it sounds like using it is a good idea.

[bendless]

I'll definitely bring it with me, then.

[mithrarin]

Good... because I'm really curious about it, now.

[bendless]

You won't be disappointed with what you see, I guarantee.

[madcuriosity]

Perhaps I could help, Mr. Sokka? I've gotten rather alright with earth like vines and flowers. I can make a fully blooming flower, in fact.

[bendless]

You can make flowers bloom with earth magic? That... actually kind of makes sense. But if you're that good already, I'm sure you can help me out.

[madcuriosity]

Well, flowers are part of the Earth, after all. I-I don't know about being that good, I just know flowers, is all.

[bendless]

I'm sure you're just being modest, especially for not being here for that long and already making flowers bloom.

[madcuriosity]

Oh, well, I just enjoy talking to them, is all, so they show me how to do things.

[bendless]

Talking to the flowers? And they reply?

[madcuriosity]

If they're awake, most certainly!

[bendless]

I didn't know flowers could talk! That's kinda cool.

[madcuriosity]

Oh yes! Their flower beds just need to be hard enough for them to be awake!

[bendless]

I get it... if you have a soft surface to be on you just wanna sleep.

[madcuriosity]

Exactly so! And most people tend to make very soft flower beds, even if you made a hard one, as soon as it rains? Why, your flowers shall be asleep in no time.
