[Klaus is droned. That much was obvious as soon as it happened. Hiccup has no idea if it's temporary or permanent, but either way it's depressing.
And then Hiccup ran into Astrid. The way she said hello immediately tipped him off to the fact that she was gone too. Astrid never talked like that.
So there it was. The man he looked up to as a father and the girl... well. They were gone. Talking to empty shells of them made him want to go somewhere quiet and smash his head against a wall. He didn't, of course. That would be stupid.
So instead he spends most of his time at the forge or just away from the house.
Hiccup, for the purposes of this post, can be found at the forge (339 Brady Lane), or in the park, just quietly sitting on a bench and watching the birds.]
[Phone: unfiltered]
Anyone who asked me to make them stuff, I've got most of it done now. Just give me an address and I can drop it off, or you can come by the forge and pick it up.
Anyone else who might want something just let me know.

Date: 2011-05-26 05:33 am (UTC)Oh, cool! So, uh... Well, I guess I should introduce myself first. I'm Bridge Carson. Probably guessed that I'm kind of a newbie around here.
Well, a few days ago I met a very friendly doctor while shopping, and she explained a lot of stuff to me. Told me it would probably be a good idea to come see you? I'm just kind of unsure what to even ask for. I'm more experienced in technology based weapons than any melee weapons. Anything you'd suggest?

Date: 2011-05-26 05:38 am (UTC)You're asking me for advice?
no subject
Date: 2011-05-26 05:54 am (UTC)Well, of course! I mean, you make them, right? You might know what's not too heavy, and maybe not too long? I know next to nothing about these things, honestly. I just need something I can protect people with. I... really don't like the idea of actually hurting anyone but, you know how it goes.

Date: 2011-05-26 06:04 am (UTC)Oh. Yeah, sure.
So uh. When you say "technology based" what sort of stuff do you mean? Just so I can get an idea of what you might be more comfortable with.

Date: 2011-05-26 06:13 am (UTC)Well, okay. While I was still a cadet at the academy, we just got this standard issue blasters. Not really all that strong and they had to be recharged almost every few hours. When I actually advanced to the ranger ranks, I got an awesome high-powered laser rifle. ...And then I got promoted again and got two even more high-powered laser pistols.
...Of course, that doesn't really help you out much, does it? That kind of technology really doesn't exist in the 50s. Oh, but my second gun was actually in two parts. The barrel could be used as a baton, so... I've got some minor experience in something like that, I guess?

So would you be more comfortable with or without a blade?

Date: 2011-05-26 06:59 am (UTC)Give each one a few swings, see which one feels best. I can let you know for sure that there's mostly swords floating around right now, though, if that makes any difference.
no subject
Date: 2011-05-26 07:31 pm (UTC)Wow... that was something else. You don't really have to get too active when using firearms but this is actually a good thing. I was kind of worried how I would work out without the training courses we had back home.
[And now was the moment everyone was waiting for. Or not.]
Hm. I'd probably have to go with the sword. It's just a lot easier to swing for me. And if it's like you say, probably more people are using them so that's a lot more convenient. So, how much do I owe ya?
no subject
Date: 2011-05-27 03:05 am (UTC)I don't really need any money. If you want you can just owe me one or something.

Well, guess I'll be heading back now. Was great meeting you and everything, Hiccup. I'm sure I'll stop by once I get a little better and think I can handle something else. Take care!
