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

Yeah? What is it?

[Action, mid afternoon]

[ooeeooahah]

[ There is a woman walking down the sidewalk, checking a map in her hand and noting the names and numbers on the mailboxes.

Teenagers doing maintenance on a non-standard prosthetic are sights that are cause for comment. ]

Er... Hello? Do you need help?

[This sight, oddly enough, reminds Wes of home. Though it's not quite like the prosthetics he's familiar with]

You get decent response from that?

[action]

[roadroller]

[she's just stopping by for a visit! What, it's totally innocent, it's not like she's trying to further some kind of agenda or anything!! But whatever she had in her mind, the leg kind of distracts from it.

She does remember that this is the guy who was dissecting her coffee machine. Perhaps he is now truly mad, and trying to give himself robot super powers. She taps her chin thoughtfully. How to put this...]

You know, Hiccup, I think even mad science should have its limits. ♪

Action

[ Souji is out on a walk, going to nowhere important in particular. He sees Hiccup what looks like Hiccup stabbing his leg with a knife. Souji sprints toward him, getting ready to reason with the young man that even if this place is dreadful it's no reason to take your life and you'd just come back the next morning anyway so save yourself the pain.

He stops his sprint when he gets close enough, seeing that the boy's actually adjusting his prosthetic part with a screwdriver. ]

Hey there. Need any help?

[ action ]

[electrowhipit]

[ A car pulls up in front of the house, where it sits silent for a moment.

And then it talks. ] Are you using a screwdriver on your leg?

"Hi Hiccup."

[Ruri waves slightly and walks over to him, watching the leg maintenance]

"Do you need any help with that?"

[She blinks and tilts her head slightly]

I-Is that... is that automail?

That's no way to ask a girl!

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Still missing that leg, huh?

[bluefrompallet.livejournal.com]

Oooh calling a girl, Hiccup?

Pardon me, but you wouldn't have happened to see a fairy passing by here, would you?
