PHONE:[Hiccup has filtered this call from Klaus and Lucrezia, as well as the "usual suspects" and as many of Grady's cronies as he can manage, but since he's not great at this yet, it is NOT FILTERED WELL from Grady's cronies. That is, of course, assuming that anyone's actually taking phone calls at the moment.
Anyway he sounds pretty tense.]
Klaus Wulfenbach can no longer be trusted. He's completely under Lucrezia's control, and she's a crazy sadistic bitch, to put it lightly. Okay, to be fair, he's still in control of his mind and his own thoughts and whatever, but whatever she tells him to do, he has to do it, whether he wants to or not.
And usually it slides firmly into the "not" slot.
So just. Stay away from them.
Okay next. Quinn, I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to kind of take over your forge. I'm not a good fighter, guys, and so as much as I'd like to help out there, I know where I'm useful. I'm useful at that forge, making and fixing weapons for you. Or armor. Or anything else you need. Seriously guys, just come on over, tell me what you want, and I'll do my best to make it for you.
I think... I think that's it for now.
ACTION: [Hiccup has set himself up at the forge and is working intently on... various projects. Swords, shields, axes, spears... he's even managed to get gun schematics from the library and is working on making his own firearms. If your character wants anything made/fixed or even just wants to chat with Hiccup, here's the place to go.
A warning, though. Hiccup is... acting a little differently than normal. He's far more confident, serious, and... intense than normal. Something happened, clearly. But he's not going to talk about it.]

Anyway, I will be over in a little bit! It will be easier to talk about it there.

Date: 2011-03-22 10:38 pm (UTC)Sure, I'll see you in a bit.

Date: 2011-03-22 10:48 pm (UTC)It doesn't take her too long to get to 339 Brady Lane, since she sprinted across Mayfield.]
Hiccup, I'm here!

Date: 2011-03-22 10:51 pm (UTC)Hey, Jade. Glad you made it okay.
action;
Date: 2011-03-22 10:55 pm (UTC)I made sure that I was really careful when I was coming here! I didn't want to get caught by anyone.

Date: 2011-03-22 11:22 pm (UTC)I kind of did! I made sure that I kept my distance, though.
action;
Date: 2011-03-22 11:33 pm (UTC)Did you... see what was happening?
action;
Date: 2011-03-22 11:41 pm (UTC)There was a lot of fighting going on. I could hear the noise still, but-- there was definitely a lot of fighting, too!
action;
Date: 2011-03-22 11:43 pm (UTC)Anyway what do you got?
action;
Date: 2011-03-22 11:50 pm (UTC)[She says that more to herself, before pulling her bag off of her shoulder and setting her rifle down. She takes out a handful of bullets and holds them out.]
These! This is what I need the most, but I have a hard time getting them from the hardware store.
action;
Date: 2011-03-22 11:53 pm (UTC)Mind if I try taking it apart?
action;
Date: 2011-03-23 12:01 am (UTC)[For now, she'll put the rest of the bullets back in the bag. It'll be nearby if they have to pull anything out of it later.]
action;
Date: 2011-03-23 12:13 am (UTC)Huh. So basically it's just the casing and the core.

Date: 2011-03-23 12:38 am (UTC)[He pulls out the gun he was working on. It's not great, but it's a start, and for someone who's never actually handled a gun before, it's actually an amazing effort.]
This is what I have so far.
[He hands it over.]
Is it okay? Will it work?
[It might. It's really more a work in progress than anything else.]
action;
Date: 2011-03-23 01:36 am (UTC)Hiccup, this is a really good attempt! I'm not sure if it will fire, but... is there a place that I can try without hurting someone?
action;
Date: 2011-03-23 01:48 am (UTC)Will that work?
action; DO YOU WANT IT TO WORK? Or just have it sputter a little or something? :|a
Date: 2011-03-23 03:16 am (UTC)You might want to move back in case something happens! I don't want you getting hurt.
action; IDK FLIP A COIN heads it works, tails it just goes "click"
Date: 2011-03-23 03:49 am (UTC)action; AWESOME ALRIGHT, and it was heads \o/
Date: 2011-03-23 03:57 am (UTC)The bullet hits the metal with a loud DING, although the metal didn't get too much damage. It's just dented, that's all.]
action;
Date: 2011-03-23 04:01 am (UTC)YES! It worked!
I mean obviously it still needs work, but awesome!
