Hey, this is Hiccup. [HE SOUNDS REALLY NERVOUS.]

I guess now is a good time to say that if you requested something from the forge, it's all done now, you can come pick it up. We uh... we might not have time for me to take requests right now, but I do have some extra weapons and shields that I made if anyone needs one. Just let me know.

And... you guys? Good luck.

[he listens attentively and only speaks when Hiccup is done talking, sounding lightly intrigued.]

We do something similar in Kanto. Some wild Pokemon can be troublesome to people, even dangerous. That's why Trainers exist - we teach them right from wrong and show them how to use their abilities to help humans, not hurt them.

Eventually, they can even become our friends. Was it like that with yours?

[worstvikingever]

Kind of, I guess. Yeah. Though the village had pretty much been at war with the dragons for centuries. It really wasn't until I trained Toothless that things turned around.

Every tradition has to start somewhere. I bet, hundreds and hundreds of years ago, Pokemon used to be like that, too. Maybe it only stopped 'cause someone like you came along to stop that.

[worstvikingever]

...maybe. I mean, yeah, probably.

Sorry. I guess I'm a little distracted by all of this.

[hispalette.livejournal.com]

...Yeah. Just thought it'd be worth trying to talk about happier stuff.

[worstvikingever]

...yeah, that... that makes sense. Getting all worked up is... not exactly helpful, is it.
