[This announcement comes to you thanks to a very nasal voice which seems to be doing it out of some kind of obligation. Don't judge ~~much~~.]

Ah, about the machines in the Station: they have instructions in Drabbish now. Printed paper sheets that I stuck next to each device, you can't miss it. So it would be really, really great if breaking could be avoided from now on. Just saying.

[He's heard some stories, okay. He likes having a little piece of home, please take care of it!]

Oh, and the cakes outside? Those are for the fairies, and they can get a liiiiittle... [Annoying as hell?] ...frustrated if you steal them so... try the kitchen if you're really hungry?

[Yes, he's even whipped by tiny fae women. Details.]

[Locked to Eren]

Hey, I did find some tools. I can take a look at your gear now.

[Locked to Queen Anne]

Your Majesty? It's true, machines do work here. I have the music if you still want to listen to it.

((ooc: Feel free to say your character found the sheets or the cakes and messed with them!))

Odin be praised, thank you.

[ No more exploding microwaves!! ]

[Chuckling.] No problem. I just... like my machines being functional, you know? [Please don't tell him the details of that incident or you'll never hear the end of it.] Oh, and the movies are ready too.

I know the feeling, trust me. And that sounds great! Will you be joining us, O'Lord of the Tech?

[ Shrugging, meh. ]

Merida's off hunting, it'll just be me and Jack otherwise.

Oh, look at that, I have my first official medieval title now. [Amused? You betcha. Or so he is at first, but then surprise takes over.] You... want me to hang out with you?

I don't think technology is ... medieval, whatever that is, but you could probably call yourself a lord and no one would argue the point. Hel, you could call yourself a blue chicken and get away with it.

[ Hiccup's green eyes warm up, friendly, and he nods. ]

Sure thing. Any reason why you can't make it?

Iiiii was joking but by medieval I meant the title thing, because we don't use them nowadays. You're from Earth too right? [Or so he got from the post with Jack.] The Middle Ages is the era that came after the Roman Empire fell. ...if that tells you anything.

[He's not used to getting invitations like this, especially to hang out with the cool kids (because that's how Jack sounded to him, little asshole prankster). But Hiccup has been nice so far and only two more people shouldn't be awkward as a party, right?]

What? No, no, I'm... pretty much free now. I printed the pictures I wanted and found coffee so... [He looks down at his ring hand, which is flexing his fingers. He needs to practice a bit more, but a break sounds great. Finally he nods at Hiccup] ...yeah, count me in. A movie marathon sounds fun.

[For a second, he's confused again by that voice, but Hiccup's the last person who'd be able to translate any instructions, so he immediately catches on, especially with that fairy cake talk.]

You really scared of some little fairies?

[Points to Jack for not bringing up that subject again.]

I'm NOT scared of them, alright, I just like working in peace!

Well, you should really stop bringing it up, because I'm just so tempted now.

[Those cakes might not last long out there.]

Jack. [This is Dave's attempt at a serious face.] There are more cakes in the kitchen. A fridge full of them!

Yeah, but the ones you can't have always taste twice as delicious.

[It's all about that challenge.]

No, that's the illusion of finding other circumstances seem more desirable than your own. It is NOT true.

[What challenge, they're just resting there.]

Hey, I'm a spirit. I could be twice as nasty as those fairies and I don't see any cakes being laid out for me.

[Not like he'd really do anything about it, of course.]

[Stares... stares... frown.]

...is that some kind of threat on my love for peaceful afternoons inside?

The Roman Empire fell? Wow. Uh, I'm a Viking, if that helps. Some of the maps in Caer Scima marked out what was left of Berk and all the archipelagos in a future time-line as somewhere called Svalbard.

[ He nods. ]

My first movie marathon is really turning out to be an event, I'm excited. Oh, you don't mind Toothless coming along, do you? He's my dragon.

Viking? You already said this but... wow. And I thought the read-head princess was from old times. [He looks a Hiccup with new eyes.] I guess the whole big sizes and horny helmets deal is inaccurate after all. Ah, I'm from America. If you saw a map then you probably already noticed the new land on the west.

[The word dragon has his eyes widening his body leaning back from the locket a bit. Not the best experience with those beasts, alright.]

...did you just say you have a dragon?

I did, he's a Night Fury but he wouldn't hurt a fly, at worst he'll steal your snacks. The, uh, preconceptions are actually very accurate, my whole tribe of the Hairy Hooligans is pretty buff and we have a lot of horned helmets to make us look scarier. I'm just ... not.

[ Not a great example, really. Eh. ]

...oh. Sorry about that.

[And he actually means it, he feels bad now. He knows how it's like not to be like the other guys, but he can't stop his mouth sometimes.]

Your pet is a dragon that steals snacks while you watch movies. I... shouldn't be surprised anymore. [He glances at his ring again - maybe it's time to fix some preconceptions about other things too.] Sure, bring him along. It wouldn't be a real movie marathon without an animal drooling on my lap.

[He misses his dog. :(]

Nothing's wrong with peaceful. But there wasn't any real chance of it ever being quiet.

[aka he's gonna keep your life as rowdy as possible.]

Winter is supposed to be quiet! You know, snow absorbing sound, animals hibernating...?

[He's so tempted to confess he can do fire magic now.]

If you really believe that then your winters sound boring. You're not a bear, are you? [The only living thing that has an excuse to not appreciate winter the way everyone is supposed to. Although even those big guys need to lighten up and go outside for a bit.]

If you say you're gonna coop up underground in the Station all season, I might have to smack you a good one when I see you.

Oh, you have a pet?

[ PETS R COOL tell him more. ]

A bear. My roommate has always offered many colorful words about my hermit habits, but a bear is definitively a new one.

[Sighing, he rubs his forehead. It seems Jack is gonna fill in Bennet's shoes. Hooray.]

I did not say that. [Just kinda implied it.] I'm from New York, Jack, I can't just stay inside even if I wanted to.

Ah, yeah... he's not a dragon but... Just a second, let me...

[He reaches behind the locket for some more printed paper sheets. These don't have words, though, they have colors - they are pictures. After going through them, he finds the one he wants and shows it to Hiccup. There is a small dog with short legs pawing at a person's pants.]

This is Tank, he's a bulldog. He's been with me since I was a kid.

New York. City that never sleeps. And yet you're whining about things not being quiet.

[Dave, you're weird.]
