[the feed cuts in with a shaky impact with... the ground. on the screen? One furry boot, and a hunched over figure, searching through some stuff in his bag. Looks like someone's prepared for the weather, at least. you can't see his face clearly: he has no idea what the pokégear that he threw on the ground's recording; none of your fancy technology

[foolishwren]

... Yeeeep. Sorry to say, but... not a dream.

You're not the first person to think that, though.

[THE DRY SARCASM. She likes this kid already. He looks like the dweebs she used to make fun of back in high school.]

[Video]

[allthreefourths]

. . .

[lifts his head to look around for a moment. in shock. don't beat him up, heather]

Uh. Well, that's nice to know that I'm not dreaming about disembodied voices.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

[.... Snhrhrhghkkk.]

Look down at the handy dandy red contraption, genius.

[Video]

[allthreefourths]

[aaand he does so.]

Hi. You're a talking red... contraption?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

.... [... To troll or not to troll. ... She'll take pity. THIS ONCE.]

... For the purpose of this conversation, sure. Look at the screen.

[Aka the thing with a moving figure on it.]

Howdy.

[Video]

[allthreefourths]

[oh heather. THANK YE. also hiccup's standing up to pick up the pokegear, staring in. amazement.]

There's lots of things I could say here.

Too much I could say here, actually.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Yeah, that's the general consensus. [Says the person in the tiny little box on the flat red thing.]

You must be new.

[Video]

[allthreefourths]

Really new. Extremely new.

[lifting up the gear to look at it. from the bottom, top, and sides.]

And confused, too.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Well, confused I can buy, but-- ... have you never seen this kind of thing before or something? [She asks because he's pretty well-spoken for someone who'd be so unfamiliar with technology like this-- BUT HEY YOU KNOW WHAT, OH WELL. Different worlds, after all.]

Anyway-- sorry, but you're not dreaming.

Also, stop that. You're making me dizzy.

[Video]

[allthreefourths]

No. I'm used to my associates being big, uh, people. Not small people in a... red contraption.

[and suddenly he stops doing that inspecting thing.]

-- Right, sorry. You probably don't appreciate being rotated around excessively.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

[Wait, what-- ... ohhhh. He thought she was a little person in the 'Gear. ..... this could be pretty funny.]

ANYWAY-- uh, just-- never mind that.

You're probably gonna want to... y'know, not sit around in the snow.

[Video]

[allthreefourths]

Yeah, good suggestion.

I'm kind of used to this, though. Subzero temperatures, freezing around in the snow, the works. Completely used to it.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Oh. WELL. In that case, you should be good to go.

[She's... ONLY PARTIALLY SERIOUS.]

... Where are you FROM, anyway? [THOSE FURRY BOOTS. Was he a Canadian?]

[Video]

[allthreefourths]

Probably haven't heard of it, but I'm from Berk.

Land of Vikings, dragons, usual things. The place that is Not Here, apparently. Obviously.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

... Dude, Vikings?

[LONG PAUSE.]

Aren't they uh... usually big beefy dudes with horn hats?

[Video]

[allthreefourths]

Yes, that would be correct. Can't you see it?

[flexes.]
