004 - A strange request by phone

[worstvikingever]

[When you pick up the phone, it's Hiccup on the other end. He clears his throat nervously.]

Uh... well. I have kind of a weird request for everyone. I was hoping that...

[He sighs and decides to just get it over with already.]

Okay I'm wondering if anybody has any extra appliances around the house that they don't need. I've... kind of gone through what we have in the house without anyone yelling at me yet and I'm trying to keep it that way, so. Yeah.

Keep in mind you probably won't be getting it back. I'm trying to figure out how all this stuff works. It's... well. I guess you could say it's for science.

Wait. I didn't do that right.

[He clears his throat, and then in his best impersonation (which is actually pretty spot-on) of Klaus in full spark mode, he says,]

It's FOR SCIENCE!

[[Okay, Theta can't help but laugh at that. She even applauds a bit.]]

I'd assist, but I'm afraid I'm already pulling apart the machines here. Nonetheless, I wish you well. Are you an ergaleomancer as well?

[worstvikingever]

Theta? I mean. Miss Buckley. Sorry, I forgot. Anyway I thought we went over this, you had to explain what the... ergalowhatsit was.

But thanks for the offer.

Another person that claims to know me? I don't recognise your voice. Who is this?

[...Hiccup wat u do.]

Were you the one that destroyed the toaster, then?

[worstvikingever]

[OSJFDKLSJFKLSDFJ WAIT YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO HEAR THIS.]

Uh... do you promise not to maim me if I say yes?

[myblimpisbigger.livejournal.com]

[... y so adorbs]

You are under my care; I don't plan to maim you at all. I could have told you how it worked, however, without damaging it quite so badly.

[THIS IS THE STORY OF PRECIS'S LIFE. Only replace a dragon with a robot. She's so pinged by this phone call, and how excited she is is very evident when she speaks.]

For science! I totally do the same thing! Everything here is so cool, isn't it?

[worstvikingever]

[OH MAN EXCITEMENT IS INFECTIOUS so Hiccup responds with enthusiasm.]

Oh man it really is! All the stuff here is incredible!

[brb-inventing.livejournal.com]

I know, I know! Right? Everything's so different!

[Mokuren is a scientist too. But she's more a biologist and less a techie.]

You're looking for electronic appliances?

[worstvikingever]

[Hiccup just wants to learn about ALL THE THINGS.]

Yeah! Mostly, anyway. Phones, blenders, anything like that that you might not need.

[krakowiak.livejournal.com]

You mean like, hairdryers and stuff?

[worstvikingever]

Yeah, sure! Anything you might have extras of or can stand to get rid of.

[electrowhipit]

Someone's enthusiastic.

[worstvikingever]

Well. You know. I like this kind of thing.

Do you want a coffee machine?

[Rin doesn't drink coffee, and she's the only non-drone that she knows of, so HER WORD GOES.]

[worstvikingever]

Oh man that would be awesome! Sure!

[seriousbigtime.livejournal.com]

For science, huh?

[worstvikingever]

Yeah, I guess. Klaus says it a lot when he's working on stuff, I thought it was kind of fun.

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

For Science?

[You have her full interest.]

[worstvikingever]

Well yeah, I guess. I mean, mostly it's so I can learn how the stuff here works, but that counts as science, right?

[realitywarping.livejournal.com]

[PEAKED INTEREST. She's been pretty curious about the gadgets here too, herself.]

I will look around and see what I can find!

[worstvikingever]

Really? Thanks a lot... uh... what's your name?

[enough-bodybags.livejournal.com]

[Medic laughs.]

Zhat is a good reason. I do not heff any appliances to give you, but good luck in your endeavour.

[worstvikingever]

Thank you! And it sounds like other people do have stuff, so it'll be great.
