002 - The phone. The phone is ringing.

[worstvikingever]

[Hiccup has found the phone.

He has no idea what it is of course, so he's basically playing around with it until YOUR PHONE RINGS or something idek and he ends up accidentally making a call.]

What... is this thing?

[The voice is slightly distant, as if he's holding the receiver away from him... which he is, actually. He's holding it up and looking at it.]

I can't even tell what it's made of.

[Other such comments persist. You might want to interrupt him before he breaks open the thing to figure out how it works.

Residents of his house can interrupt him with action, but all others are phone calls.]

Comments

[worstvikingever]

Okay. I'll remember that.

[ergaleomancer.livejournal.com]

Mm, I think that might just be everything, really~.

[worstvikingever]

There's... a lot, isn't there. Thanks for explaining it. Uh... what's your name?

[ergaleomancer.livejournal.com]

Of course~.

Elizabeθ Buckley. [That's pronounced Elizabetheta. It occurs to her to offer him her nickname, but...she decides against it. Time to get people into the habit of being proper; it wouldn't kill them.]

[worstvikingever]

Okay. Nice to meet you, Elizabetheta. I'm Hiccup.

Thanks for all the help.

[ergaleomancer.livejournal.com]

That's Miss Buckley to you, Hiccup. Charmed, I'm sure. [Not really.]

[worstvikingever]

Oh. Okay. Miss Buckley. Sorry.

[Totally used to calling people by their weird viking name.]

[ergaleomancer.livejournal.com]

You'll learn, I'm sure~.

[worstvikingever]

Yeah... I'm working on it.

[ergaleomancer.livejournal.com]

You'll manage! [Not so much encouragement as "I'm done with this conversation." Predictably, she hangs up the phone shortly after.]
