013 - Phone

[worstvikingever]

[Hiccup's been slightly in a daze since the prom since. OMG PROM KING. wtf. Still not really sure what that means, he's trying to forget it happened.

Part of that includes getting back into the forging business. Which is why he's making this phone call.]

Hi everybody. Just thought you should know that I'm still doing stuff out at the forge. If anyone wants anything, just let me know and I can probably make it for you. All I need are specifications and materials or a way to get the materials I'll need.

Uh... yeah. Just let me know. Don't worry if you're wanting something complicated, either. I can probably figure it out. It'll make it more interesting, anyway.

And... I guess just as a side note I should thank everybody who voted for me. Uh. Yeah. Thanks. That was kind of fun, I guess.

[Really. How uncivilized. SIIIIIIIIIGH]

I suppose I'll indulge you in giving you the correct answer. This time. It's a human being---as an infant, you crawl around on four legs, then move along to two, and then, as you grow older, you require a cane to keep moving.

[This is an incredibly roundabout way for the Riddler to say he wants a new cane. Good luck ever trying to get this guy to be direct.]

[worstvikingever]

Uh... okay. That makes sense.

[Sort of.]

So... what was it you wanted?

[Oh, if you could see Edward's palm sinking into his face right now.]

I've already given you the answer.

[worstvikingever]

[Okay, he's a smart kid. He might not have any clue how to handle riddles, but he can put pieces together when they're put in front of him.]

...a cane? Okay, so why didn't you just say that?

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

[Hell, Edward was almost expecting Hiccup to suggest that he make a human being. ]

Didn't you say that you weren't afraid of suggestions that might be a little complicated? This isn't any ordinary cane that I'd be requesting of you, kid.

[worstvikingever]

Just as long as you're not making any more requests in riddle form then I think I can probably handle it.

I've already got a few designs drawn up but I've been a bit... occupied, shall we say. I'm sure I can find you the materials you'd need with little-to-no problem.

[worstvikingever]

Sure. Just bring 'em over and I'll take a look and see what I can do.

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

Excellent. And the name is Nigma. Edward Nigma.

[worstvikingever]

Hiccup. Nice to meet you.

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

Hiccup?

[Racking his brain, Edward can remember talk of a "Hiccup" before.]

You're a friend of Susan's, aren't you?

[worstvikingever]

Yeah, I am. Why?

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

I'd thought so. She mentioned a "Hiccup" staying in my room back in January.

[worstvikingever]

Oh. Yeah. That was when the angels were all over the place and I couldn't get back to my place. Sorry about that.
