[Hiccup's been hesitant to use the network to broadcast anything to a whole bunch of people, most of whom he doesn't know, and thus has mostly stuck to simply replying to other peoples' posts. However, he's finally found reason enough to give it a shot, and so he appears on screen, a scrawny, awkward teenager with a nervous smile.]

Ooookay, so... This whole thing is really new to me, so maybe, uh, be gentle. Or at least, don't mind if I make any mistakes.

[You're also free to point any out--he's not against criticism.

Sitting up straighter, he attempts to appear more composed now. It's clear that he's sitting in his bedroom in the castle, mostly because he had the feeling he'd look weird talking to his locket out in the hallways, or something.]

I have a request, I guess. I, uh, I'm getting kind of tired of the castle and the grounds, but I don't exactly want to wander off into the woods or anything all alone. That would just be stupid. And since I haven't got Toothless here with me-- [nope, he doesn't even think to explain that one] --I don't really have much in the way of company.

Basically, what I'm trying to get at is, does anyone want to go out with me? --On a walk. Or a hike. Or--something. Not a date, that's not what I-- [Oh Gods, he's got himself stammering now.] Not what I meant.

[CLEARING HIS THROAT, trying to regain whatever composure he had.]

If anyone's interested in going, maybe on some brief expedition, or anything really, just...let me know.

[And he cuts the feed, but not before the camera catches him doing an embarrassed facepalm.]

video | seelie | open to action for people at the station

[chromosomes]

[ The Station is so different looking from the rest of the Drabwurld that it doesn't take a genius to figure out that it's where John is located, surrounded by modern looking appliances and a nice modern coffee mug. The occasional fairy still flitters past, but at least one of them is humming 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and another appears to have discovered a punk rock phase.

John's not too concerned about them. ]

Since I've already had a couple requests, anyone want anything from the Station? I don't know that I can deliver it in person, but I can hire someone with a wagon or something to send things to Caer Glaem.

Just remember that some things won't work outside of the Station and that I'm not made of money.
