( 2ND Snowy Flight — video, both courts )

[ Smoke is seen billowing as the locket's owner shoves a door open, coughing and waving a hand. This is broadcasting from the Station, evidently, with the modern-day look of things behind only mildly scorched around one side of the kitchen. Hiccup himself has since bathed after the journey from Caer Scima and obviously raided the Station's underground storerooms for clean clothes; he wears a bright red hoodie that hangs open over a plain tshirt, which in turn shows he still wears his leathers beneath and his prosthetic. Only the flightsuit is safely stored in his underground bedroom.

He spits a mouthful of sooty grime aside, swiping his weeping eyes as he steps out into the sweet relief of fresh air. ]


To anyone who wants to use the Station's kitchen right now, uh. It's down one 'microwave' and 'freezer'. Not our fault, I might add! Well, improving the freezer could debatably be called a mistake on Jack's part ...

[Behind Hiccup, the winter spirit could be seen approaching, sans wearing his cape which he instead uses to try and wave off the smoke in the air. His normally pristine white shirt is no longer very winter-like at all, darkened and dirtied by all the floating soot most likely. Upon hearing his name, he peeks from behind his accuser, not as cheery as he tends to be.]

Excuse me, Doctor Boom. I was trying to calm down the fire that you started because your science-y senses started tingling and you got, and I quote, "curious". I'd say that my miniature blizzard saved your life.

[ Looking more harassed and frazzled than normal too, a twitch goes in Hiccup's jaw. His pitch heightens, although he attempts to keep his irritation down. ]

There's nothing around here that says you shouldn't put metal objects in the box that heats everything up, you'd think it would make sense and just melt it, if anything.

[Excuses that Jack has heard over and over, prompting the repeated eye roll. Instead of arguing further, he brings up a hand over Hiccup's shoulder to grab the locket, directing his attention to it.]

Point is, because of Mr. Metal Bomb over here, the kitchen's been compromised, so if you wanna roast your meal, you'll have to do it old campfire style outside. Or if you have some things to blow up— [Hiccup gets a nice quick pat on the cheek.] —you can refer to Sir Haddock right here. He's apparently pretty good at that.

[ A very flat expression and folded arms await Jack coming full-circle with his own version of events, and Hiccup rolls his eyes so much that it looks like they might slip right free of his skull. ]

Thank you for summing that up. Pardon me for not understanding everything about electronics within a single afternoon. [ The locket is then, for a third time, turned back his way. ] There is an oven left, it's just the box thing that died, and someone destroyed the frozen food cupboard-whatever. I'm going to be cleaning up the resulting mess all day, if anyone wants to, oh, I don't know, help.

[ The latter is said with a pointed look at a certain winter spirit.

Unexpectedly, lost in their bickering like old ladies, the boys have forgotten about the flame-haired (literally, she's still smouldering) teenager in the midst of the kitchen. They both wince near-simultaneously when a thick accent curses loudly, and sporting equally sheepish faces the locket is hastily switched off before Merida can catch them slacking.

Apparently a sixteen-year-old, pissed off Scottish girl with singed hair is a far better incentive for two grown men to clean up their mess than anything else. ]




( OOC: Hic, Jack and Mer are all at the Station if you'd like to dive in with Action, otherwise all three will be chatty on their lockets regarding the big boom from the kitchen today. )

[ That would be the sound of a muffled gasp and Alice dropping a cup as soon a she sets sights on the disaster at hand. It's not their fault, she just happens to be deathly afraid of fire. And Alice is now not coming any closer, but she can't really leave anyone in there.

She'd never forgive herself. ]


What on earth-

[ DEEP BREATHS. Alice is a little too frightened right now. ]

Is everything alright?
digophelia: (I'd like to see what lies beyond)

[personal profile] digophelia 2014-10-15 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, no, there's smoke, too. Hopefully whatever caught aflame has died down now. She can only hope, fire catches quickly after all. Alice nervously takes a step back, rubbing the side of her arm. ]

There's no fire now, is there?

[personal profile] winterwork 2014-10-15 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope, luckily my presence was here to save the day. [Jack appears from behind Hiccup, attempting to dust off the soot from his cape.

Thankfully, there was a frost man involved, using his magic to kill off the active flames even if he can't do much to resolve the already flowing smoke. Of course, this resulted in iced up kitchen that will most likely melt eventually (which might result in a minor flood later, just one mishap after another really).]


Flame boy's sorry for that.
digophelia: (I didn't sleep too well last night)

[personal profile] digophelia 2014-10-15 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Mister Frost?

[ She can't help but choke that out after her mind already running off with the worst case scenarios. Some of the past traumas she can move past, but fire is something that will take her forever to get over. Alice heaves a sigh of relief, nearly dropping to her knees. The last thing she wants to see is this place burn down with so many people.

She feels that not many would be able to get out, not like the last time. Of course, along with relief and Alice still shaking with fear. ]



What? What were you both thinking?! You ought to be more careful! Fire can travel so quickly.

[Taking a moment to sneak away to open his own locket in private.]

I just want to make sure it's clear that everyone knows it's Hiccup's fault. I'm a completely innocent bystander. That's all.
digophelia: (Crush the scepters of the kings & come)

[personal profile] digophelia 2014-10-15 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if either of you wanted something to eat, you can ask me next time.

[ Because why not, she's done this for children already. It can't be that much difference between teenage boys and children. Or so she thinks. She's not sure. Alice is angry as much as she is rattled. She takes another breath, rubbing her forehead. ]

I'm fine. I just really don't care for fire, at all.

[ Translation: "I'm terrified of fire", but no one has to know the nitty gritty, thankfully. ]
winterwork: (₁₀₈)

[personal profile] winterwork 2014-10-15 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, flames and I aren't exactly best friends either. [For obvious reasons.]

But the fire's out. It's just all this pesky smoke we're trying to get rid of now. [Which he starts to try and wave out the door with his cape again, a bit woozy from the heat of it.] And like Hic said, we'll clean up the mess afterwards.
digophelia: (Chained to the past a dream of liberatio)

[personal profile] digophelia 2014-10-15 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Alice begins her shuffle to find any sort of windows to open now that a panic attack has been averted on her end. Really, she's grateful no one is hurt, but that doesn't mean she won't be angry for the sake of being angry. She undos her apron and begins to help air out the smoke, fluttering away like a nanny. ]

Well, there may be a window or two to open. Or just air it out another way.

It'll be on both your heads if you don't clean up this mess!

[Merida huffs as she comes out of the station bathroom finally, still brushing herself down from the soot that had landed on her in the wake of the microwave explosion. Her hair is singed on one side of her head, but it's been fixed a bit, the rest of her hair pulled up into a high ponytail with a strip of fabric she kept from the remains of her original dress, bangs falling down to one side. The singed hair doesn't look too bad...actually it looks pretty good now that she's cut it away and her hair is up.

She apologizes as she nearly bumps into someone spectating on her way over, placing her hands on tartan and fur clad hips as she glare at them.]


You're lucky I have three wee devil little brothers, or I'd be less understandin' about this.
digophelia: (X()

[personal profile] digophelia 2014-10-15 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ High strung is an understatement. She'll calm down after a minute or so, as she fervently waves her apron to help clear out the smoke. It's exactly like when she had to clean up around Houndsditch, shaking out sheets and other clothing. ]

What matters most is that you're both safe.

[ And she means it, despite the urge to smack someone currently. ]

Besides, I meant what I said.

[personal profile] winterwork 2014-10-15 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
What, we blow things up and we get a meal out of it? Had no idea we'd get a reward out of this.

[With a snicker, he blows a small cloud of frost to help with dissolving the smoke out.]

I'm thinking you're being too nice of a girl now, Alice.

[A little while later with both of them working on fixing up the kitchen, Merida switches her locket on with a small sigh and rubs the bridge of her nose, her singed hair is pulled into a high ponytail, the blackened bits cut off so that the sides of her hair are uneven.]

What these two idiots are tryin' to say, is that they're sorry for th' mess an' they're cleanin' it up. It won't happen again, I'm sure someone has learned his lesson about puttin' metal things in th' food heatin' boxes.

[Pointed glare over her shoulder at her boys before she rolls her eyes when she catches Jack flicking water at Hiccup.]

[ Where was this frost that November night? Alice remembers the snow all too well- no. She's here in the present. This is not the fire all over again. Everyone here is breathing and-

Well, taking a toll on her nerves. Alice scoffs. ]


Oh, don't get your hopes up! I'm only going to do it this once so that no one else does anything else funny in the kitchen.
notyetlegend: ([oh] I'm just a girl)

[personal profile] notyetlegend 2014-10-15 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[She gestures right back at him, then to the kitchen.]

I don't know, try common sense! What happens when metal is heated up in a forge??
notyetlegend: ([188])

[personal profile] notyetlegend 2014-10-15 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's not like Mer could've foreseen it either, but she pokes his chest with a finger.]

Don't take that smart tone with me, ye tumshie! Maybe whoever built that thing made it so that somethin' triggers metal to blow up, I don't know!
digophelia: (The path through the woods)

[personal profile] digophelia 2014-10-15 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ At least someone is gracious enough to accept the offer and not get on Alice's bad side. Also, everyone in this kitchen is too tall and Alice feels even tinier with Hiccup. ]

You're welcome. But should you find yourself in this position again, just be careful with one of the devices that talks in a strange. Mister Fëanáro tampered with that one and his sons are very fond of it.

[personal profile] winterwork 2014-10-15 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jack is a very nice guy. Everyone else is just extremely blinded at this. PSSSSH.]

Mister who? And I told Hiccup to read the instructions before he started messing with things.

[No, he didn't.]
digophelia: (what. even.)

[personal profile] digophelia 2014-10-15 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, no, if that microwave was destroyed, Alice will actually be a little sad. ]

Mister Fëanáro. He was an elf that came from Caer Scima with myself and a few others. Apparently he had a penchant for crafts, his sons told me. He managed to get one of these things to talk back. I don't know how.

[ It had to be one of the coolest things in this place as far as she is concerned. Alice just stares at Jack for a moment, dubious. ]

Are you sure about that? Are you sure you didn't goad him?
