012 - Phone and Action

[Phone call to Astrid, failed filter because he still can't figure it out]

Hey, Astrid? I uh... had a question.



[Action, mid afternoon]

[It is a beautiful spring day and Hiccup is sitting out on the front lawn with a screwdriver.

No, not that kind of screwdriver, an actual screwdriver.

He's making a few adjustments to his leg, you see. You know. The prosthetic one that has replaced his amputated left foot. That one.

Go ahead, talk to him. It's not like he's gotten enough comments on his leg yet. No, really.]

Comments

Wow, it sounds like we have the exact opposite situation.

[worstvikingever]

Oh yeah? Are you from way in the future or something?

[kettchmeifucan.livejournal.com]

I've never even heard of this planet, so I'm really not sure.

[worstvikingever]

Planet?

[He blinks, suddenly astonished.]

You're from another planet?

[kettchmeifucan.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I was stationed on Coruscant, but no one here seems to have heard of it.

[Still baffled by that. It's been the capital of every government for millenia]

[worstvikingever]

Yeah I... have no idea where that is.

I... don't even really get the whole other planets thing. We went over the solar system in school but it's just like... they're just shiny points of light in the sky, you know? It's all so far away.
