014 - Action and Phone

[Action: general]

[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.

I guess it's better to learn how to deal with things I'll probably be seeing more and more of, so I guess bladed would be fine. I know the Doc also recommended finding a sparring partner so I could actually learn how to use it properly.

Okay well I have a few extra weapons so here. [He goes over to the weapon rack and picks out three, a short sword, an axe, and a mace. He brings them over.]

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.

[Cue the most hilarious weapons testing montage anyone has ever seen. He wasn't really used to swinging anything but his fists around so it'll take him a good few swings before he finally gets it down. And after a few minutes, he'll finally be done.]

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?

[worstvikingever]

[Hiccup shrugs.]

I don't really need any money. If you want you can just owe me one or something.

Uh, sure! Tell you what, if you ever need anything fixed, give me a call. I'm good fixing a lot of mechanical stuff. Even if I'm not really all that accustomed to stuff this only, it should only taking a little poking around to find the problem. Cars, toasters, radios. Anything like that.

[Hiccup grins a little.]

I think we got that covered at my house, but I'll let you know. Thanks.

[buttery-tech.livejournal.com]

Right, never know when you might need an extra hand. And thank you! I'll be sure to put this to good use. ...Once I figure out how to use it properly.

[worstvikingever]

Call around. There'll be someone willing to teach you.

[buttery-tech.livejournal.com]

...Oh yeah, duh Bridge.

[He'll lightly punch the side of his head, giving another goofy smile.]

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!

[worstvikingever]

Yeah, you too. Don't accidentally stab yourself or anything.
