Okay.

So.

What was that.

I don't really... what's April Fool's Day, and why does it mean suddenly everything is... back to normal?

Well. You know. As normal as this place gets, apparently.

"April Fool's day was originally the pegan new year, but when the Christians took over Europe, they reduced it to a holiday about pranks. Its for immature idiots."

[She pauses a minute]

"You... Haven't seen Precis, have you? She seemed wrong at school."

[worstvikingever]

Precis? I...

[He thinks.]

I haven't seen her in the past few days, no.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I see... If.. You still want to work on the mechanical things here... It may just be us then. But, April Fool's day is a holiday for idiots."

[worstvikingever]

...oh. Is she... is she gone, then?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I think so."

[She sighs a bit]

"Perhaps the whole recycled soul thing was a joke and she went home though."

[worstvikingever]

...recycled soul? Wait... what are you talking about?

[GUESS WHAT HE STILL HASN'T HEARD ABOUT THE SOUL GENERATOR 8D]

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"They said that in the dairy there was a generator that was powered by the souls of everyone that became a drone permanently. But, that seems rather silly."

[worstvikingever]

[There's silence.

For a long moment.

Then finally, in a very quiet voice, he says,]

Silly.

Yeah.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"If its not a joke... Then this place is so horrible, any sane person should spend all their time screaming in fear and never do anything else, even though that would be pointless as well. So, I am taking that as part of the joke, because, otherwise, I don't know if I could sleep at night."

[worstvikingever]

[He's still quiet.

Because he's angry.

Because even if it isn't true, it means that Toothless was in there somehow.

And that's not okay.]

They destroyed it, didn't they?

But. That means that if it's real, then it's back in the Dairy. Running as normal.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I think they did, and if something like a soul is real, then there was more than ample time to escape. Or, I would like to think that."

[worstvikingever]

Right.

[He'll have to think about this.]

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Oh, also, I had someone prepare a present for your.... Mother. The robot attacked and I couldn't deliver it myself, but if you want it, its sitting on my dresser."

[worstvikingever]

Thanks, but don't worry about it. We're... she's... well she's okay for now, and she... might be having a change of heart.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Its a tea that causes someone to loose their voice for a day or so. I don't really like hurting people. Which, is kind of silly in a military captain, but, such is life."

[worstvikingever]

No that's okay, I understand. She's lost the... whatever it was for now, and we're giving her a second chance, so... I guess hang onto it, just in case? But right now I'm willing to let her have her chance.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"That's very noble. I'm sorry, lying and trying to control people... I just find those very distasteful."

[She pauses for a moment]

"How did your time at the forge go?"

[worstvikingever]

I know, and I agree, but... there's more going on than just her being... I dunno. Evil.

It... [involved him killing his father figure] went well.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Evil for the sake of Evil is rare and exceptionally stupid."

[worstvikingever]

Yeah, it's not... it's complicated. But she's getting a second chance and she seems... happy about it, I guess. In her own way.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Just... Be careful about it. You're my friend, and, as it is right now, I'm not as good at defending my friends as I was back home."

[worstvikingever]

I know. We're both being careful. I mean. Klaus and me.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I've never met Klaus. He sounds like someone who it would be interesting to discuss theory with."

[worstvikingever]

Yeah, you two would probably get along.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Well, you two are welcome over for tea any time. Scot and Tom are bad conversation."
