worstvikingever[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.]

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

Date: 2011-04-17 06:56 am (UTC)Well, I feel dumb. I wouldn't have said anything if you told me about it, though... jeez, for a second I thought you took your experimenting too far, like in a horror comic. ♪

Date: 2011-04-17 06:58 am (UTC)No. No way I'd do that on purpose.
[He's had enough amputation for one life time thank you very much good gods]

Date: 2011-04-17 07:08 am (UTC)Ah, I'm glad you're not upset. ♪ Actually, there was something I wanted to ask you about.
no subject
Date: 2011-04-17 07:12 am (UTC)Yeah? What's that?
no subject
Date: 2011-04-17 07:13 am (UTC)- Ah, first of all, do you happen to have a prom date? ♪
no subject
Date: 2011-04-17 07:14 am (UTC)Yeah, actually. Why?
no subject
Date: 2011-04-17 07:16 am (UTC)Well, to be honest, my friend Ruri seemed kind of out of luck as far as dates go, but she said she was looking for someone smart and polite, and I suddenly thought that you might count.

Date: 2011-04-17 07:19 am (UTC)[He suddenly feels a little guilty. Ruri's his friend too. But... Astrid is kind of sort of maybe his girlfriend possibly? And she'd definitely punch him if he asked someone else but why would he want to do that when she was here anyway? But still. Knowing Ruri's left without a date bothers him.]
Yeah, I'm... all set. Sorry.

Date: 2011-04-17 07:23 am (UTC)Aw, it's not your fault! ♪ I just asked on a whim, anyway...!
[After that, she collects herself.]
... But she won't go if someone doesn't convince her. I tried, and it was... kind of hard.
