"You're cursed?" she asked as she continued to hold Basil in her arms. "Is it a terribly bad curse sir? I don't think you will have to worry about it here. Although if it's an awful curse perhaps you should go to one of the researchers. I'm sure they will try very hard to help get the curse off of you."
She continued to look up at the tall lanky man. She'd not seen his sort of dress before but she could guess quite easily he had arrived before the Gate had been closed down and no one had helped him! Oh how awful! Alice had been visiting her father's corporation when she had seen this gentleman.
YAY! ALICE! Sorry this took a bit. I got a phone call ^^.horrendous_nameMay 17 2010, 23:08:11 UTC
"Wha-"
Hiccup spun around, not expecting to have anyone actually respond to his personal mutterings. "Uh..." He stared for a second, not even knowing how to respond. The girl somehow seemed a little different from some of the others he had spoken to before for some reason, but maybe he was just imagining things. "No, it's all right. The gods just hate me."
He smiled slightly, like he was passing off what he was saying as a joke.
"Thanks, but I don't even know where I am. I guess I kind of got left out of the loop." After all, everyone else seemed to know he was a kind of 'visitor'. Why was he the only one who didn't understand this?
<33 Hiccup! <3 And no worriesmadcuriosityMay 17 2010, 23:18:08 UTC
"You're in Somarium sir, specifically you're in the city of Somni. Espoir Village isn't too far from here however. There, now you know where you are!" she smiled brightly.
"Do you feel a better knowing where you are now? I can try to answer a few more questions if you'd like. Oh! But I should introduce myself. My name is Alice!" Alice curtsied to Hiccup, smiling. "And this is Basil. It's nice meeting you sir." Alice stood up straight and gazed at the new visitor. Really she was starting to wonder at the rest of the residents. So many weren't helping the new arrivals!
He listened, those names pretty much going right over his head. None of them were recognizable to him in any way, but at least he understood where he was a bit. When Alice introduced herself, Hiccup smiled a bit more genuinely back at her. She was definitely being a lot more polite than many of the others he'd met.
"Thanks. It's nice to meet you too. My name's Hiccup." And his expression became a little more sarcastic again as he chuckled nervously, scratching the back of his head with his free hand. "Haha... Great name, right?" Not really, but a horrendous name was supposed to scare away threats.
"So, Somarium, right? Have you guys heard of Berk around here? How far away are we?"
[It was probably only a matter of time until the Night Fury decided that those concrete trees needed investigating. Navigating is a bit tough, though; lots of side streets to move down, and the surface felt weird on his feet. Sort of like rock, but not.
Still, there's a lot to look at, and smell...And people aren't yelling "NIGHT FURY!" and "GET DOWN!" when he moves by either.
[Now that he thought about it, there didn't seem to be any dragons in this 'dream realm' either... The buildings had to be far older then he was used to, after all, they were made of stone and metal. Not to mention the fact that they were HUGE. He hadn't even seen trees get as tall as some of these buildings. That meant the dragons weren't attacking here.
Man, everything in this place really was different. It was starting to sink in for Hiccup... What if he couldn't get back in time? What if he couldn't get back at all?!
No. There was no way he would let that happen! Hiccup thumbed through the pages of the notebook in his hands for a second, looking at all of the notes, and the weird objects he had written down, hoping somewhere, he had gotten some kind of answer he may not have realized. However, even all together, the information he had didn't tell him anything. He snapped the book closed with one hand and shoved it into the pocket in his vest as he kept walking...]
[Though many of the residents living within Somarium had seen the oddly-dressed boy as a 'visitor' to their city, Naomi saw him as something else entirely.]
Shouldn't you be headed towards school? I don't believe your mother would be happy to see you've decided to play hooky.
[She had already written the outfit off on account of the frequent theatrical performances all of the schools put on.]
[He shot this new woman a confused stare, wondering why she stopped him... No one else had approached him with any accusations like this yet, so why was she asking about school? Of course he wasn't supposed to be in school, he just got here! It wasn't helping that Berk didn't exactly have the best education system, or ANY education system for that matter, aside from Dragon Training.]
What do you mean? I'm not playing hooky from anything.
[However, coming from a 14 year old boy, how believable would his word be?]

"Do you need any help?"

Which means it's time for gallumping towards them! Now people ARE yelling as he plows past, but he doesn't notice. That looks like...]

"WRRRRR!"
[Oh, crud, Hiccup. Night Fury. Currently on a crash course towards you and looking like he might cannonball into you as a greeting. Get down.]

[He's not backing down. His dad is Stoik the Vast. In Hiccup's mind, his dad is the king of stern looks. This didn't scare him.]
So, what, was I supposed to guess that I was supposed to go somewhere after I've barely been here for an hour?
