[Hiccup is grinning down at his wearable. Or, rather, he's trying to. He can't help it if he needs to shoot Toothless a few looks. The dragon is only headbutting him repeatedly. Hiccup isn't sure if Toothless wants him out the door, already, or is just full of affectionate excitement. It may be both.Hey, Astrid? I know you're, like. Busy and stuff ( Read more... )

[You know who Hiccup needs to meet more of? Helmet people.

Here, Rookie will help. Because he is normal and suddenly incredibly interested in this.]

You're Toothless's friend?

[He knew big ol' dragon had been missing somebody...]

[voice] talkingfishbone May 31 2011, 04:03:23 UTC

Uh. Yeah. The--the original.

[Not that he's bragging.]

[video] huragokwhistler May 31 2011, 04:12:48 UTC

[Hey, he's just glad to see folks reunited.] Well. Nice to meet you. Know he's been missing you since I got here.

Ah. I'm Rookie, by the way.

[video] talkingfishbone May 31 2011, 04:17:19 UTC

Rookie? Uh. Hiccup. Though...I...guess you already knew that?

Anyways its, uh, it's nice to meet you. A, uh. A friend of Toothless is a friend of mine!

[He almost couldn't say it with a straight face.]

[video] huragokwhistler May 31 2011, 04:36:48 UTC

Just a nickname. [And not a commentary on his skills.]

It's a pleasure, Hiccup. Glad you've found him, by the way.

[video] talkingfishbone May 31 2011, 04:49:09 UTC

How, uh. How'd you meet? Just over these 'video' things?

...seriously, it's still a little crazy to know Toothless has friends. I mean...besides me.

[video] huragokwhistler May 31 2011, 05:09:49 UTC

Yeah. Though it's... kind of a long story. [There are buckets and the Numa Numa song involved. It's a little weird.]

Well, he's a pretty popular guy.

[video] talkingfishbone May 31 2011, 05:22:22 UTC

Ch'yeah. Noticed.

[And as awesome as that is, he's not sure if he'll ever be used to it.]

So...have any Night Furies where you're from? Or...any dragons at all?

[video] huragokwhistler May 31 2011, 05:26:54 UTC

[He shakes his head. Well. Helmet.]

Unfortunately no. It's been interesting to see them, here.

[video] talkingfishbone May 31 2011, 05:44:45 UTC

...

Wait, you...do have a face under that, right?

Or is that...just...

[He starts motioning to his own face.]

Y'know. Your head?

[video] huragokwhistler May 31 2011, 05:58:19 UTC

[He chuckles. Oh, you.]

Contrary to some opinions- [And here he ducks to release his helmet's locks] -we are people under here.

[He pulls off the helmet and behold! Face! Complete with military haircut and a smattering of combat scars here and tere.]

[video] talkingfishbone May 31 2011, 06:09:19 UTC

[The short hair is a little unnatural looking to him, but the scars say warrior well enough.]

So it is battle armor.

Okay, so, what is that made of? And your helmet--how can you even see out of that? It can't be stone, even though that's sort of what it looks like. If it fits all the way around, how exactly do you breathe? Are you part of the troops here?

Is there a war going on we don't know about? Does Astrid know, because I think that'd be a great thing to get her in on. Just. Personally. Knowing her, as I do.

[Oh my Gods, where has his mind gone.]

[video] huragokwhistler May 31 2011, 15:42:19 UTC

[Oh lordy, explaining the armor. Where does he start? And how does he keep it from getting too technical. Even so, he grins.]

It's mostly metal and ceramic. The plates, anyway. The helmet's the same metal as the rest of the armor. The visor's sort of like glass; how we see through it. Breathing really isn't that hard, honestly. And yes, I am. I'm with the UNSC here.

I've heard there's a war on - one of us believes that, anyway - against the people on the planet below. My armor's because of a war back where I'm from. [He pauses, smiling.] She's a fighter, huh?

[video] talkingfishbone June 1 2011, 00:21:23 UTC

[Hiccup's momentarily taken back by someone actually answering him. And with a smile. And without insulting him first.

He shakes it off, and tries to keep cool.]

Y-Yeah, uh. Okay. Why would you make armor out of pottery?

Most Vikings are fighters.

[video] huragokwhistler June 1 2011, 02:24:23 UTC

[Well. This is what Rookie does. He answers questions.]

Would you believe it's actually stronger than you think?

Vikings?

[Okay now that? That is awesome. Vikings, man.]

[video] talkingfishbone June 1 2011, 03:24:56 UTC

Yupp. It's, uh. It's what we are.

Vikings who ride dragons.

[Apparently.]

And, I'd say you were messing were messing with me about the whole ceramics thing if I didn't know how long it takes to fix armor. No smith in his right mind would waste his time on something that doesn't work.
