Okay, so this ship? And everything? This is all messed up. Rochelle, you weren't kidding when you said it, I believe you now. Captain, I think I can just take my leave now, okay? Because it's-- This is all crazy, I don't even know what's going on anymore!

[long pause followed by an audible sigh. Why did you people have to be so stupid and let that

Sokka was fine last I saw him...

[Gideon hasn't come back yet, though, and he's starting to get worried. He sounds worried. Worried and trying to hide it.]

I thought the plan was Stay In Our Rooms Until Crazy Girl Gets Bored With The Idea Of Maiming Us. I'm, personally, not married to the current plan, so if you know something I don't know, I'm all ears.

[withanokka]

[Oh, hey, that's Hiccup.]

Yeah, that's basically the current version of the plan, but I'm not entirely fond of it either, so.

And yeah, Jim! I'm okay! Except, you know, well, I keep going to grab things and there's nothing to grab them with. But I'm good!

[talkingfishbone]

Jim, huh?

Jim! Try to get him to cross his arms next time he sees you. That never gets old.

[withanokka]

You know what? It's not gonna be funny when I've got both arms back.

[You are just ASKING for a noogie, man. If not much, much worse pranks.]

[talkingfishbone]

You sound...cross.

[withanokka]

....did you really just make that joke.

[There's a very long, long pause.

And then he starts to snicker.]

[believeslegends]

[right so he just sat and listened to all of that and he's kind of torn between being confused, outdone, and laughing. Since when did he get to be around people his own age? Almost never, that's when.]

Glad to see someone's getting him to laugh about this. I'll have to try that sometime.

[talkingfishbone]

Admittedly, I may have ruined it. He'll be on to us now. Can you be sneaky, or will have to do all the work?

[withanokka]

You guys.

I CAN HEAR YOU.

[talkingfishbone]

[Pointedly ignores.]

[withanokka]

Oh, come on.

[believeslegends]

I'm not gonna try it right away. Give him a few days to forget and then I'll get him to do it. He won't see it coming.

[talkingfishbone]

I fully approve of this plan.

[...

He's getting along with someone.

...

THIS IS WEIRD.]

I'm, uh--

I'm--

I'm Hiccup, by the way. Just arrived. Came in, uh, the other day from my home and yeah.

[believeslegends]

[That's because Hiccup's never been around another teen outcast who likes building things. Though he's trying not to snort at that name. Seriously, what?]

... Right. Sorry you came during all of this, but it's not bad having more people around.

[talkingfishbone]

Right.

Yeah, right, it--it totally does.

[You are being stupidly nice. He told you his name--you totally laughed, why are you being nice?]

[believeslegends]

[because you aren't judging him. :|]

Guess you're staying put up in your room too, huh? Kinda boring.
