1st Flight [video]

[dragonconqueror]

Oh for Thor's sake, they said this would be easy...

[There's a curious green eye studying the communicator before it zooms out to reveal a young boy of about fourteen or fifteen, his face covered in scratches and scars that look both fresh and old, the oldest one a nick on the right side of his chin. He grins a bit tiredly, sitting back and snapping his fingers.]

I knew I could get it to work! Man, if we had things like this back home it'd make communicating with other tribes easier...

[He fiddles a bit, the screen flicking off as he discovers the other functions, a bit of text gibber jabber appearing before it switches back to full video, then he remembers the people he spoke to said that others could be watching.]

Uh, hi. I'm Hiccup. Great name, I know, but I guess it's kept me from being snatched up by gnomes and trolls all these years so it's worth something at least. If you couldn't guess, I'm kinda new...just arrived really. I don't think I was awake for a lot of the talk though, getting knocked out by a giant dragon tail would do that to you. I think I'm awake. At least I hope so anyway. This place doesn't look like any Valhalla I ever dreamed of.

[He reaches down to scratch at his leg.]

There's...a lot of things here that we don't have at home. I hope I don't blow anything up. And, uh, this is gonna sound kinda strange but I don't suppose anyone has anything I can, er, walk with? [Pause.] One of my legs kind of...doesn't work. They helped me here but I don't know how I'm going to get around...

I guess that's...it? Yeah.

[He goes to get up but lets out a yelp as he puts pressure on his injured leg and he falls backwards, crashing to the floor.]

Comments

[dragonconqueror]

Thanks for the warning. We've met.

[His tone is a little dry, if not a bit joking. He's not entirely sure if he should be amused or disturbed by the fact that he's actually met a God, now that he's been allowed time to think about things. He inclines his head in a so-so manner.]

A healer came, but...it's going to take a few sessions. It doesn't hurt much anymore though.

[witchnotwarlock]

Yeah. Watch out for him, okay? He's from my universe, kind of, and it's. Just be careful, okay?

[Loki is the god of mischief, so you should already watch out, but this Loki used to be a really bad guy. Like, a really bad guy. Yeah, watch out.]

What'd you do to it? How did you get hurt?

[video] pardon the little threadjack here

[bacondivination]

Hey! [ He's a little indignant. ] I only had a little harmless fun, and I hardly need you slandering me to one of my mortals.

[ Is claiming ownership of random people okay? Well, if not, it should be. ]

Besides, he knows the tales.

[video] <3

[witchnotwarlock]

I'm not slandering, I'm warning. It's kind of mind blowing to meet a god! You don't think about what happens after, or what he's been doing that you don't know about.

[bacondivination]

Still slander. Vile slander!

[ He makes a somewhat dramatic gesture to punctuate that, but settles back down pretty quickly. ]

The fact that it was reasonable and actually quite kind of you to tell him has absolutely nothing to do with anything.

[witchnotwarlock]

Right, of course. Nothing to do with anything. [Just. Such line facing. He doesn't know how Loki does it, being annoying and funny all in one go.]

[bacondivination]

You've got it now. Good job.

[ He chuckles while offering a playful grin to Billy, and promptly shuts off the feed. ]

[video]

[dragonconqueror]

Got it. I mean I know the myths but I wasn't, ah, expecting to run into one of the Gods here.

[Or anything like that. Gods are meant to be heard but not seen. They're like children in a way, but the other way around.]

Ehhh, fell off a dragon a couple of thousand meters in the air after getting knocked out with a hit by the tail of one as big as a mountain.

[video]

[witchnotwarlock]

Yeah, don't worry, I get it. It's... it's kind of nuts.

[He gives a nervous kind of laugh. Gods are... it's so complicated. So very, very complicated.]

...Yeah, that would hurt your leg. Or break your leg, is it broken? How is nothing else broken?
