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

[Hiccup nods. He suspects there are other being here who aren't exactly human. He has yet to run into one, but it's exciting to think that there are other species out there.]

Yeah, I'm human.

[He looks back to Toothless who stares at the two of them curiously.]

So, uh. Do you need me to take off his harness, or have him stand anywhere in particular?

[lamortespoir]

[ Sanson himself is a spirit, but details. ]

I see.

[ He takes a step towards Toothless, but not within biting distance. ]

I do not know much about the physiology of dragons. You can tell me about your companion. I mostly treat injuries and not illnesses, so I would also need to know if its blood and organs have any special needs.

[drekisal]

Uh...

[He purses his lips as Toothless stares at the newcomer with wide green eyes, curious, but he keeps his head low, unsure.]

I guess what's special about him is that me mostly eats fish? And he's limited to how many shots he can make. Shots-- as in fire blasts-- plasma blasts.

[It's harder to explain about his dragon than he first imagined. He swallows thickly and clears his throat before gesturing to his tail.]

He also has a prosthetic tail fin. He can't fly very far without someone riding him to steer it.

[lamortespoir]

[ Sanson picks up the tablet next to him and starts making notes in case he forgets. ]

Fish is plentiful in the ocean. Some are not poisonous, he can feast on those.

[ But about that fin, though: ]

Is the fin welded to his body?

[drekisal]

Yeah, that's what I've heard. I'll have to learn these new fish species.

[Oh that tablet is new to Hiccup, and he looks at it curiously before he's snapped back into reality by his question.]

N-No, Thor no. It's just strapped onto his tail with strong leather. See?

[He gestures to the Night Fury's tail.]

It can be taken off.

[lamortespoir]

[ That's a lot more convenient. ]

Do you have the blueprints for a spare? It would be wise to make multiple.

[ He takes a picture of it with the tablet and saves it. ]

One more thing. Do you intend to fly with your dragon? If so, do not go too fast. There is a device on this planet that shoots down things that approach very high speeds. I would not wish that to happen to you.

[drekisal]

I don't have any on hand, no. [He purses his lips. The arrival here was rather abrupt. He shrugs.]

I had a bunch at home but ah. I think I'll be able recreate them here. No problem.

[Hiccup raises his eyebrows as toothless even looks at him, as if hearing the complications of flight.]

This place recognizes speeds? Is this place alive?

[lamortespoir]

There are devices and other technology that can assist you in building it.

[ At Hiccup's surprise, Sanson merely tilts his head. ]

The planet, Iniidae, has a soul of its own. It sleeps and dreams on a timespan much longer than our awareness, but it is very much alive - and injured. Our mission here is to find a way to return, but also to heal the planet so that we may do so.
