[He sounds nervous, as usual, but it's not as nervous as he's been in the past. Like when the angels were around, for instance. He's just... a little worried.]So hey, the new highway that... apparently just popped up. People have been checking it out, right? I wanted to go too but Klaus... uh. Wouldn't let me

Right now it just circles around. Big surprise.

Probably means they're just saving how they're going to screw us with it until later.

[Phone]

[worstvikingever]

Yeah, no kidding. Still, I can't help wondering what the point of a road that doesn't go anywhere is.

[Phone]

[godisachild]

Maybe it does. Maybe it's just that we can't access it for some reason.

[Phone]

[worstvikingever]

That's a really good point.

Is there anything we can do other than wait around to see if something happens?

[simplykind]

Oh...I thought maybe the noise was normal around here.

[worstvikingever]

No, it only started a few days ago. I guess you're new around here, then.

[simplykind]

I can't decide if that's better or worse.

Ah, yes! I arrived a few days ago, myself.

[worstvikingever]

Everybody is kind of on edge about it. Seems like something might be about to happen.

Well, uh... welcome to town, I guess. Did you get an explanation of everything?

I'm Hiccup, by the way.

[no_indoor_voice]

[bluntly]

Probably torturing drones or something like that. Or people here before us.

[worstvikingever]

[He's stunned into silence for a moment.]

Really? Would they... do that?

[no_indoor_voice]

Would it be all that surprising?

[worstvikingever]

I guess not. Still, it's not... not something I really want to think about.

[eldest_hatter]

There isn't much to see, I'm afraid.

[worstvikingever]

Yeah, someone mentioned a diner, and that none of the exits work, but not much else. But apparently there's bears in the woods. Psychic bears.

[eldest_hatter]

Psychic....bears?

[worstvikingever]

I have no idea. Probably just some bear they ran into and upset or something. I doubt it was actually psychic.

[He clearly gets a kick out of the story though.]

[istheatmosphere]

After I got dumped in that Westport place, I'm not too keen on going exploring, I'm afraid.

So far nothing exceptionally bad has happened. It could just be a matter of time, though.

[worstvikingever]

I dunno, from what I'm hearing from other people and just by what's going on in general, it just feels like we're building up to something, you know? To be fair, I haven't even been here that long, but still.

[istheatmosphere]

From what I hear on the phone, it seems I have been exceptionally lucky in avoiding these things, but I know how you feel. Weird noises can't be the end of it.

[worstvikingever]

Especially since they're coming from the Dairy, which is completely inaccessible.
