021 - Phone and Action

[worstvikingever]

[Phone] Okay so I've got a few things that people requested from the forge? I can bring them by houses or you can come pick them up whenever. Basically if you requested something, it's probably done. So... yeah

Action!

[putmeinstitches]

[Loki can't help himself. He's both curious and impatient by nature, and he wants to see how Hiccup's doing. So he's dropped by. He knocks on the door and decides to use that one new word he picked up from Gamzee. With a grin:]

Good afternoon, motherfucker. I hope you're keeping busy in there!

[worstvikingever]

[Hiccup looks up at Loki's entrance and nearly drops what he's working on at his greeting.

Okay no, scratch that, he does drop it. As he's scrambling for the dropped pieces on the floor, he looks up at Loki, completely dumbfounded.]

What did you call me?

[putmeinstitches]

[He's honestly surprised by the reaction.

Sure, he wouldn't have been surprised if Hiccup hadn't heard the word -- Loki hadn't heard it much, if at all (he couldn't remember) around Mayfield. But the offense?

He says it like the most casual thing in the world.]

A motherfucker.

[worstvikingever]

[Hiccup's standing again, and he flinches. He stares at Loki for a moment, wondering what he did to deserve to be... but wait. Hang on. Does he really... oh gods he really doesn't get it. Hiccup almost wants to laugh. Instead he just.

Facepalms.]

You do know what that means, don't you?

[myblimpisbigger]

[Say whaaaaaaaat]

You neglected to mention any sort of side project.

[Hiccup this is your dad hovering. Hovering. He wants to know everything. Share with him you are a family that is what families do]

[worstvikingever]

[What huh oh hi not!dad]

I'm just trying to figure out cars more, I guess. I've been meaning to, and I got an opportunity to do it so... yeah.

[It's not a lie! Just... avoidance of certain truths!]

[myblimpisbigger]

[HE CLEARLY TAUGHT YOU WELL]

Mm. Well, you know I certainly don't make use of our allotted car. Feel free to tear it apart as much as you wish. What you figured out thus-far?

[Meaning, 'how does a non-spark go about exploring technologies foreign to him'? EVERYTHING IS SCIENCE]

[worstvikingever]

[And he is learning a lot about cars with this project!]

Really? That's... that'd be great!

Well... I've basically been studying pictures of engines that I've gotten from the library, but I've got a few engines lying around from when I take apart cars so I can use the metal in the forge. So I can kind of look at the schematics and the books and see it in person.

[richtighammer]

[Thor has, at some point in the past few weeks, learned to use a telephone. However, he still doesn't much trust it, and only the urgency of the situation (he needs a hammer!) convinces him to pick up the strange device and speak into it.]

HICCUP STOICKSON!

[...Or, y'know. Bellow into it at the top of his lungs. He's still not very good at this whole electrical device thing, funnily enough.]

[worstvikingever]

[OH GODS YEAH HOLDING THE PHONE AWAY FROM FACE]

Uh... Thor? You really don't have to shout. I can hear you if you just... talk normally.

hi sorry are you still up for finishing this ;A;

[richtighammer]

[The concept of an "inside voice" is not something that was taught in Viking kindergarten, but Thor makes a valiant attempt at lowering his voice nonetheless. It almost works.]

Have you finished my hammer, boy?

I am if you are. :3

[worstvikingever]

[Ow. Still bad, but at least it's a little better.]

Yeah, actually. I have. You can come by and get it whenever.

[Phone]

[ralschild]

You can make weapons?

[worstvikingever]

Yup. Pretty much... anything, although not guns so much. But if you have a specific request I'll give it my best shot.

[ralschild]

Ah... Guns are hard to use. Do you know how to create daggers and throwing knives?

[worstvikingever]

Yeah sure. Do you have something specific in mind? I uh... come from a Viking village, so I'm not necessarily as familiar with some kinds of weapons, so if you could make a drawing of what you have in mind that's usually best.

[phone]

[autocrossbowplz]

Ah, I take it that means you have the Autocrossbow complete?

[worstvikingever]

Yeah, it's all set. I think it is, anyway. I mean, it's built to specification. You should probably try it out, though, there's probably some tweaks that need to be made or something.

[autocrossbowplz]

As is to be expected. When would be a good time to come pick it up?

[worstvikingever]

Well I'm at the forge most afternoons after school, around 3:30 to 6:30, so any time then would be fine.
