[A: Outside 729 Anderson Lane] [Hiccup comes home from school to find that oh hey there's a package waiting for him. He stares at it for a minute before lifting it and shaking it only to find that it feels completely empty. Out of curiosity, he opens it.

The moment he opens it, part of his left leg disappears, replaced only by a bleeding stump as

[Seeing Hiccup fall she rushes over from behind and offers a hand up]

"What happened?"

[worstvikingever]

[Hiccup smiles a little and gets up with some wincing.]

Well, I lost my leg back home and Mayfield decided to be nice enough to remember that. Basically.

[hontobakabaka]

"Hrm... I know there has been some success at regrowing lost limbs back home, but I don't think I have the technology for that here. Maybe I could give the plans for something mechanical to Klaus?"

[worstvikingever]

Actually Klaus helped me with this one. I really don't need anything fancy.

[hontobakabaka]

"I was just thinking something you wouldn't fall over using."

[worstvikingever]

[Hiccup shrugs.] I should be fine with this, I just have to get used to it. Really it's just figuring out how to walk again and getting used to the feeling of... you know. Not having a foot.

[hontobakabaka]

"Well... If you're certain."

[She looks down slightly]

[worstvikingever]

[Hiccup tilts his head to try to catch her eyes again.]

Hey. Don't worry about it. It's not a big deal.

Well. Okay suddenly losing part of my leg again is kind of a big deal, but this is how it's supposed to be, right? So it's okay.

[hontobakabaka]

"Its a bit of culture shock for me, since medical technology has gotten to the point where we can fix that at home, but... As long as you are fine with it. I won't have to implement plan X."

[worstvikingever]

[Okay that sounds... ominous.]

Uh. What's plan X?

[hontobakabaka]

[deadpan, totally deadpan]

"You probably don't want to know. Its what I use when bad things happen to my friends."

[worstvikingever]

[He just goes linefais on her.]

Right. No plan X. It's all good.

[hontobakabaka]

"I'm sure Klaus would probably understand if you asked him, but, I was told a girl needs to keep a certain amount of mystery about her from Minato. I'm not sure why, but, she was an expert on those things."

[worstvikingever]

...uh-huh. Certain amount of mystery. Got it.

[hontobakabaka]

[She shrugs a little]

"I'm guessing its an adult thing, and those generally go over my head."

[worstvikingever]

[Hiccup shrugs.]

Probably a cultural thing, too. Vikings don't really care about mystery.
