First Flight

[drekisal]

[ACTION]

[Hiccup finally made it to the base with Toothless in tow. He looks around the interior of the base, his survival kit pulled close to his chest, a few of the pieces from it resting on Toothless' back. Everything was so alien to him. Designs, smooth metal. No wood... The viking notices Toothless' unease and reaches a hand out to the black dragon's head.]

Easy bud. We'll find a room or something which we can call our own. [The dragon gurgles in protest, but he leans into Hiccup's comforting hand

Hiccup couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed by all this. This was much more than what he expected. Everything looked so different from Berk.

He spots someone down the hallway and waves his arm. His metal leg taps against the floor as he rushes to get their attention.]

Ah, hello? Can I ask you a few questions?

[TEXT]

okay this is kinda like terror mail, yeah? geez, and to think i almost scribbled on this thing!

anyways, i was wondering if anyone had any fishing supplies on hand? or even some fresh fish in general? my dragon and i arrived not too long ago, and toothless is getting a little cranky.

...are the fish here even safe to eat? i never considered that.

anything helps! and i guess i should introduce myself. im hiccup.

Comments

[drekisal]

pasta...? no its

its like getting mail from a pigeon. but its from a small dragon called a terrible terror. long story.

everything huh? have you had any troubles with sicknesses here then?

[quadjumps]

oh you're one of those people who's from the past huh

well obviously you don't have to send anything by pigeon here.

and no but that's because people cooked it. what the fuck do dragons even eat? why do you have a dragon? do they eat cooked food?

[drekisal]

well uh

toothless, my dragon, eats fish primarily. and sometimes fruit, depending. he prefers raw food mostly.

and as to why i have a dragon. i just kinda do? we're good friends. have been for a long time.

you don't have any where you come from?

[quadjumps]

raw food might kill him

no??? i'm from the normal world.

[drekisal]

we both have different definitions of 'normal'.

in my world, it's normal to have dragons flying around.

[quadjumps]

in my world

which is literally the most normal of normal

dragons don't actually exist. but a lot of things that happen around here shouldn't exist so i guess you fit in

[drekisal]

what kind of abnormal things have happened around here that you've witnessed?

[quadjumps]

mermaids.

[drekisal]

ya know, that actually sounds pretty neat!

were you able to talk to them? did they lure you in with siren-like songs?

[quadjumps]

okay so
i've been talking to dirk, who is apparently a merman, and he said i have to pass his trials three for him to do me any favors.
i'm on the second one right now which is literally impossible.
maybe you'll have better luck, idk

[drekisal]

you mean someone in the crew IS a mermaid? merman? merperson? that's a amazing!

so the only reason why you're doing these trials is because otherwise he won't do favors for you? what do these trials consist of? never knew merpeople did that...

[quadjumps]

all i wanted was for him to bring the alien seals to the base using his magical voice or singing powers w/e mermans do
first trial he asked me to challenge one of the swimmers we used to have to a swimming match.
second trial requires me to get a straight answer out of dave strider but L O L

[drekisal]

l o l ? is that some kind of code?

and is this dave strider such a bad guy? what kind of answer do you need to get out of him?

[quadjumps]

oh my bad. i forgot you're from ancient times

literally a straight answer. he doesn't know how to answer a question without writing a novel

[drekisal]

okay sure, im from ancient times.

maybe he likes to give out details? nothing wrong with that.

[quadjumps]

do you know what a computer is.

no this guy likes to dance around the answer
you gotta just talk to him yourself i can't explain it

[drekisal]

i um



no i dont know what a computer is.

but it doesnt mean it's essential! obviously ive gotten by without one of those.... things.

[quadjumps]

see you didn't need a computer to survive
that means you're from the stone ages.
case closed.
