[At first, all can be heard is the distant, and occasionally not-so-distant crashes of teleported junk as it lands on other junk. Then, after a few seconds have passed, there’s a distinctly teenaged sigh.]

Ooookay, so. Apparently ‘voice’ does not mean ‘get a voice’. That’s one mystery solved…

[The speaker starts moving around the junkyard, ( Read more... )

[Oh hey look another new person about to get crushed by falling junk. Why-]

2/idk punchandkiss May 23 2011, 02:43:05 UTC

[wait a second...]

3/idk punchandkiss May 23 2011, 02:43:54 UTC

[But, it couldn't be, could it? Well, it could. She didn't know how it worked but it could. Maybe. He probably knew. Maybe.]

[Another dream?]

4/idk punchandkiss May 23 2011, 02:44:54 UTC

[No it wasn't a dream, she still didn't understand half the stuff on these wearables that he was apparently already figuring out so. ...so...]

5, apparently. Just five. punchandkiss May 23 2011, 02:46:15 UTC

[Wait if it really wasn't a dream then Hiccup was in the junkyard and going to get crushed by falling bathtubs. Astrid appears on the screen, looking rather cross.]

Hey! Stop daydreaming and get out of the junkyard, Hiccup! It's dangerous in there!

[Okay...probably not the best hello.]

Video talkingfishbone May 23 2011, 02:50:42 UTC

GAH!

[Hiccup falls onto his ass, landing uncomfortably on the dented side of a half-buried Chevy.]

A--Astrid?!

How'd you--

How're you--

[He pokes the screen. It's a perfect likeness of her, just...flat.]

You're...yooou're a moving picture. Alright. That's...new.

[He blinks and swallows and tries to catch up with a world that is REALLY keen on leaving him behind.]

Video punchandkiss May 23 2011, 02:55:26 UTC

No I'm not a moving picture. The wrist things let us talk to people who are far away and no I don't know how they work before you ask so just hurry up and get to zone one before you get crushed.

[She is moving as she talks, and there's a questioning growl from something nearby.]

Video talkingfishbone May 23 2011, 03:03:08 UTC

Uh. Okay. Okay.

[He's getting up and going. See? He's listening to you.]

Just, uhm. Question? Where's zone one?

I'm just seeing lots of, uh.

[H-Hold on, gotta scurry away from a landing bath-tub.]

Large, falling objects.

Video punchandkiss May 23 2011, 03:07:22 UTC

Look for a large sort of...platform. Thing. If you stand on it and press the [here, have a very brief description of what boils down to the 'big shiny button'] it will send you to zone one. Probably.

[She hasn't really gotten the knack of getting where she wants to go just yet.]

Your wrist has a map but I only know how to find it by pressing the left button for five minutes so you might just want to look around instead.

Video talkingfishbone May 23 2011, 03:14:55 UTC

Uh.

Okay.

[Don't sound ungrateful, Hiccup; this shit is bananas and she's working with what she has.]

No, uh, no really. Thank you. That works.

[Allow him to leave the feed open while he picks his way over rubble and. Tries to figure out where this platform is. It's gonna take him a few minutes; he got a little mixed around after his crash landing.]

Video punchandkiss May 23 2011, 03:31:08 UTC

You'll know it when you see it. I'm coming to zone one, if you don't find it by then I'll come look for you. Be careful.

[In the background there's a loud swooshing sound, and Astrid's voice, quiet and obviously not directed at the wearable, saying something along the lines of 'come on, girl.']

Video talkingfishbone May 23 2011, 03:44:01 UTC

Uh, thanks. I will...

What was that, though? The, uh. The--the--

[Hiccup, pay attention. It's still raining shit, y'know.

The boy cuts himself off to duck for cover.]

You know what? How about I ask you when I see you.

[May be the smartest thing he's said all week.]

Video punchandkiss May 23 2011, 03:51:43 UTC

[She just rolls her eyes at the screen. Also is the sky moving by very fast above her head?]

Less talking, more running.

Video talkingfishbone May 23 2011, 04:20:13 UTC

[He awkwardly vaults over a chunk of debris.]

Working on it!

[After a few more minutes of only slight distractions--Seriously, Astrid, what is with that sky?--Hiccup makes it to the platform and hesitantly preforms the instructions Astrid gave him a few minutes ago.

The jolt of teleporting, quite honestly, scares the shit out of him.

He yelps and stumbles off the platform, turning to STARE at the piece of machinery. WHAT THE HELL, THINGER. WHAT THE HELL.

He hasn't even caught his breath before he realizes he's not where he was a minute ago.]

...uhhhhhhh...

Video punchandkiss May 23 2011, 04:26:06 UTC

[Astrid has apparently turned off her connection, though it hardly matters, since there's a flare behind him perhaps thirty seconds after he steps off the teleporter.]

[Hey Hiccup? Astrid is behind you. Oh, and she's on a Deadly Nadder. It is side-eying you as only a Nadder can, really, as Astrid hops off.]

Hiccup!

Video talkingfishbone May 23 2011, 04:32:27 UTC

[And all he can do is scream.]

Ahhh, what! Don't sneak up on--

[And there goes his voice. He just. Points at the dragon, not sure if she should be looking at it or Astrid.]

You--uhhh...

That's. That's a...

Wha, uhm...

[Yeah, no, he's lost and a little concerned for everyone's safety.]
