008.5 ☠ audio

[believeslegends]

Well, I think we can all agree that last week? Never happened. We're just not going to talk about it. [Or how much the Captain sucks. Noooot saying that on the network.]

Sokka, not a word. You either, Hiccup.

Right, I think I'm going to find something else to do.

[And for all you comment log people, Jim's just hanging out on deck 12, digging

Comments

[withanokka]

I would never.

Oooover the communicators, anyway.

[believeslegends]

You'd better not at all.

[withanokka]

[He laughs.]

You made a cute kid, Jim, you can't deny it!

[believeslegends]

Sokka. [This is his warning tone.]

[tweakinabox]

[A ~fly~ buzzes past Jim on the luggage deck, bzzzzing around his head irritably for several passes. Does Jim have any idea he's being waaaaaaaaaaaaatched, eyes moving back and forth from fly to Jim.

There is a moment of tension, muscles gathering tightly within furred haunches.

*POUNCE* into Jim's lap he lands, scaring the fly off.*

Mrow?

[believeslegends]

Oh jeez-- [whoa hey cat suddenly in his lap. Uh. Wow. He glances around wondering where the owner is]

...Where'd you come from?

[spiderpsycho]

[You might want to check the shadows in your peripheral vision, Jim...]

[believeslegends]

[Do you ever get that feeling that somebody's watching you?

There's that feeling of someone with Killing Intent nearby.

Ooooooh crap he knows this feeling. Crapcrapcrap he's sloooowly and discretely reaching for his knife]

[spiderpsycho]

[There is a breath of hot, putrid air on the back of Jim's neck.]

Cabin boy.

[The growl is low and guttural as a claw grazes the side of Jim's chest-- the spider wants to play with his prey a bit. He remembers what you did, Cabin Boy, whether you do or not.]

SCREAMING

[believeslegends]

[WELL THERE'S A VOICE HE HASN'T HEARD IN A WHILE. But it's not like he can ever forget what to do either. Jim pulls his knife so fast (now so, so thankful Sokka gave it to him as a not-present) and swipes at the claw as he pulls it and takes the moment to duck away from him quickly. He really hopes his movement knocked some of the suitcases in Scroop's way]

[andtheywillaugh]

What kind of name is Hiccup?

[believeslegends]

A Viking one apparently. Doesn't make much sense to me either.

[andtheywillaugh]

Mhm...

[believeslegends]

... What?

sob i-is this okay mommy...

[courageousrose]

[ And oops, don't mind her backing into you, Jim ]

Ah-!

[ Spinning around, giving him a sheepish look, holdin' her book, just chilling ]

... I didn't think there'd be anyone down here.

fjlkasjdfkl jOMGOSH HI DAUGHTER

[believeslegends]

[Whoa didn't expect to be bumped into. Great more tall people 8| But he tucks some hair behind his ear; he's not that bothered. Look, he holds up a hand in apology]

Hey-- No, it's okay. There usually isn't anyone down here.

HI MOMMY HI

[courageousrose]

[ Be nice to your big sister from the same movie family company, kid. ]

Oh? Well, that's a relief. I ended up exploring, you see...

[ No Beasts to get mad at her here! ]

And... who might you be?

BABY /gathers up in arms

[believeslegends]

[Jim's always nice! Except when it's Scroop, that's another matter entirely.]

It's easy to get lost around the ship with how huge it is.

I'm Jim.
