[Yeah, while everybody else is getting their asses killed, Veidt is calmly walking up the steps to the library, intent on going through the newspapers.

Feel free to join him, if you're also on Team Pragmatism While Everybody Else Is Distracted.]

[[Theta can't go out to the highway, so she's out for a generalised wander. Then she spots him headed into the library. It makes sense to bother the librarian, after all, so she moves to follow.]]

Good day~.

Miss Buckley.

[ergaleomancer]

Mr. Veidt~.

[alexanderofny]

The town seems rather empty today, doesn't it. I suppose they're all out on the highway...

[His tone is a little dismissive.]

[Hiccup is arguing very quietly with an assistant librarian about something. Apparently he's trying to get his hands on gun schematics but the librarian doesn't feel it's appropriate for a teenage boy to be looking at such things and refuses to get them for him.

Hiccup seems a little more intense and... possibly angrier than usual, it's weird. But he's not giving up or backing down.]

[Oh, it's Wulfenbach's boy. Nice to see some of his students have some sense.

He approaches the assistant librarian.]

I'm sorry, what's the trouble here?

[When the assistant librarian tries to explain, Veidt just puts on a Concerned FaceTM.]

I don't know; I think every growing lad should know how to use a gun, don't you? It makes him better-prepared against the godless Socialist hordes, dangerous liberals...

[leans in conspiratorially]

...homosexuals...

[The assistant librarian shudders. Veidt leans back and smiles.]

And then, there's the good clean fun of hunting big game! But if you feel uncomfortable with the lad checking it out himself, I'll happily provide the necessary supervision.

[The assistant librarian nods quickly and hurries off to get the book, and Hiccup's Deist, demisocialist, liberal, pansexual Civics teacher just grins knowingly at him.]

[worstvikingever]

[Hiccup's not in a smiling mood. He might not be for a while. But he nods.]

Thanks, Mr. Veidt. She was really starting to get on my nerves.
