009 - Phone and Action (I AM SO SORRY FOR THE SPAM, GUYS)

[worstvikingever]

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.]

[And Hiccup can't help it. He grins and lets out a whoop of excitement.]

YES! It worked!

I mean obviously it still needs work, but awesome!

[She laughs at his excitement! Because this whole thing is pretty exciting.]

This is a really good start! Is it alright if I do a few things to it to try to make it a little better? I'll make sure I show you what I'm doing!

[worstvikingever]

[He's almost entirely forgotten his previous mood, so excited is he about the gun.]

That'd be great! Yeah, that'd be really helpful!

Okay! Where are the tools?

[She'll flop down on the ground with the gun, looking it over to figure out what she wants to do with it, exactly.]

action;

[worstvikingever]

[Hiccup runs over and grabs a bunch of tools and brings them over to her, sitting next to her and watching her eagerly.]

[AND then Jade will get to work, pointing out a few different things and making some adjustments here and there! And she'll make sure Hiccup understands everything, too.]

action;

[worstvikingever]

[Hiccup listens intently and asks questions! This is exciting, he's completely forgotten about the past couple of days, it's incredible.]

[It's a nice reprieve, isn't it? Just dorking out over this kind of stuff. AND it will help Mayfield for the better later, hopefully.]

action;

[worstvikingever]

[Jade you have no idea how much Hiccup needed this. It's practically like nothing is wrong, like the only thing in the world that matters is figuring out this new thing so that he can make more, and it really honestly makes him happy.

There might be a couple brief moments in the conversation where his face goes blank and his eyes grow dark, but he shakes himself out of it and asks another question quickly, as if to get rid of unwanted thoughts.

Actually, that's exactly what he's doing.]
