3.) Video

[talkingfishbone]

[Remember how when you were a kid and someone made the mistake of letting you near a video camera? And how you recorded you and your friends LARPing in the back yard, making up silly skits that involved using up-side down laundry baskets as cages, and lots and lots of footage of you tormenting your house pets?

Yeah, no, Hiccup's totally too old for

[there's a bit of silence on this end -- Jim was going to ask him for help finding Sokka who got away from him but.... well wait hold on.]

....Huh. So I guess it happened to you too.

voice;

[talkingfishbone]

Yupp. Second epidemic of teleporter malfunctions. Well. Since I got here. The first time it was screwing with species. Now, it's age.

You sound older.

voice;

[believedlegends]

Great. [doesn't he sound thrilled]

Uh, yeah. Happened on the way to find the library we were supposed to meet you at.

voice;

[talkingfishbone]

...Ohhhh.

That was...today, uhm...

[WAY TO GO, HICCUP.]

As, uh, as you saw, I kinda have my hands full, I mean. Toothless isn't really in any state to be left alone...

voice;

[believedlegends]

Right...

...Guess that means I can't ask you to help me. Sokka turned into a kid and ran off as soon as he realized he wasn't at home and I haven't been able to find him since.

voice;

[talkingfishbone]

What?

No, where? I'll be there in a sec, jus--

ahhhh--

[DRAGON WHERE IS HE GOING TO PUT YOU. You know what? Just. Have the apartment. BUT BE NICE TO IT.]

voice;

[believedlegends]

Uh... I think it's Zone 6?

[HICCUP HE APPRECIATES THIS A LOT, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW, kid Sokka is kind of a pain to deal with alone B|]

voice;

[talkingfishbone]

By the library? Or--o-or that gaming place?

[He's already out of Astrid's apartment and heading towards the nearest teleporter.]

voice;

[believedlegends]

The library.

Action

[talkingfishbone]

[A man with a fabulous ginger beard is running around, trying to find you, Jim. With his genes, you'd...really expect him to be taller, but he's only about 5'8". Still, none of his outfit seems to be fitting all that well.]

Action

[believedlegends]

[And here's Jim standing around looking anxious and about the same height and... generally looking about the same, just with more defined features. He sees the guy and stares for a second and... Okay, yeah that's Hiccup. He waves him over]

Hey-- Over here.

Action

[talkingfishbone]

Hey.

So, Uh.

[He pauses to sweep some of his hair behind his ear. He's still unsure of what to think about the length.]

How long ago did he run off? Which way'd he go?

Action

[believedlegends]

Um-- [oh jeez a lot to take in all at once and already asking questions. Jim runs the past hour or so through his mind in the attempt to sort it out]

Left of here, about an hour ago. I tried to follow him but lost track of him really fast.

Action

[talkingfishbone]

Oookay. Okay...

He should still be here, I mean. It's not like he knows how to use the teleporters. Maybe we should...

Maybe we should get some meat? Like. To lure him out and stuff.

[...Sokka's a little boy, NOT A DRAGON.]

Action

[believedlegends]

...

You know, that might almost work. [he's smirking at the idea. And if he knew where to find meat, he would've tried it already.]

Action

[talkingfishbone]

Yeah? Well--

Let's go!

[Hiccup leads them towards the nearest fast-food stand--the same branch that's on his Zone--and uses Astrid's credits to buy a few hamburgers.]
