worstvikingeverPHONE:[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.]

[Action. Obviously.]
Date: 2011-03-23 04:10 am (UTC)That's right. Lucrezia heard your call (you're not terribly good with filters, apparently).
She didn't like what you said. She took offense at it. And she, of course, sent Klaus to inform Hiccup up this fact and then smash him into a bloody pulp. Again.]
Hiccup.
[She never said he couldn't give fair warning!]
[action]
Date: 2011-03-23 04:13 am (UTC)Hi Klaus.
[action]
Date: 2011-03-23 04:21 am (UTC)Ah. A gun. Klaus looks at it calmly, before he raises his eyes to meet Hiccup's. He doesn't say anything; this isn't something he feels needs to be spoken.]
[action]
Date: 2011-03-23 04:28 am (UTC)I've never killed anyone before.
[Even that is calm. Too calm. Some part of Hiccup is really freaking out right now but it's far in the back and the rest of his head is telling him that this is the only way. The only way to keep Klaus from hurting anyone else against his will. The only way to keep him from being forced to follow Lucrezia's orders without question.
The only way.
But. He still hesitates. Because this is Klaus. He's like... he's pretty much his dad. He is his dad.
Suddenly Hiccup realizes just how similar the two men are. He hadn't even thought about them in the same context before but once he realizes it, the thought can't escape his head.
So he hesitates.]
[action]
Date: 2011-03-23 05:00 am (UTC)Hiccup...
[His expression softens ever-so-slightly.]
Son. Please.
[action]
Date: 2011-03-23 05:06 am (UTC)His breath hitches.
Did he... did he hear that right?
oh gods no
no
NO.
There is nothing else.
This is the only way.
The only way.
He regains his grip on the gun and forces himself to stop shaking.]
I'm sorry dad.
[With the gun pointed perfectly at Klaus's forehead, Hiccup pulls the trigger.
The gun is flawless.]
