012 - Phone and Action

[worstvikingever]

[Phone call to Astrid, failed filter because he still can't figure it out]

Hey, Astrid? I uh... had a question.

[Action, mid afternoon]

[It is a beautiful spring day and Hiccup is sitting out on the front lawn with a screwdriver.

No, not that kind of screwdriver, an actual screwdriver

Comments

[ action ]

[electrowhipit]

[ A car pulls up in front of the house, where it sits silent for a moment.

And then it talks. ] Are you using a screwdriver on your leg?

[worstvikingever]

[He's never seen a car like that before. It's pretty awesome. It's already got his attention by the time it comes to a stop. When it talks though, that's when Hiccup jumps about a foot in the air. Yes. Even from a seated position. He's talented like that.

Anyway, the screwdriver goes flying and he fumbles to try to catch it and just barely manages to do so.]

Uh... yeah?

[electrowhipit]

[ Jolt shrinks back a little ] Sorry. I didn't mean to startle you.

[worstvikingever]

[There is a car. A weird, strange car. Talking to him. Hiccup's kind of in shock right now.]

It's... it's okay? I just... never had a car talk to me before.

Action

[hontobakabaka]

"Hi Hiccup."

[Ruri waves slightly and walks over to him, watching the leg maintenance]

"Do you need any help with that?"

[She blinks and tilts her head slightly]

[worstvikingever]

Hi Ruri!

[He smiles at her. He'd wave but his hands are full.]

Nah, I've got it covered. Just making a couple small adjustments. But thanks.

[hontobakabaka]

"All right. I just know some adjustments are easier with two people."

[She nods a little]

[worstvikingever]

Yeah, I'm all set.

How're you doing?

[action]

[wontjustwait]

[ Winry was just walking Den around the neighborhood when she spotted someone's leg.

And needed to comment. ]

I-Is that... is that automail?

[worstvikingever]

[Huh?]

What's... automail?

[wontjustwait]

[ You asked for it. ]

It's only the greatest ever! A prosthetic modeled with the human body in mind! Every gear, every where, every detail, all designed to perfectly mimic the amazing work of art that is the human body! Automail is the absolute best~!

[ Calming down now. ]

I'm a mechanic for that sort of thing back home.

[worstvikingever]

[He blinks.]

That... sounds really amazing. Do you have any examples with you?

phone;

[k1_sauce]

HOLD IT!

That's no way to ask a girl!

[worstvikingever]

[Well that's the sound of the phone being dropped. And hastily picked up again.]

This... this call wasn't for you.

[k1_sauce]

Of course it wasn't! But I heard nevertheless and it's obvious you need help!

[worstvikingever]

What? No I don't.

Re: [action]

[worstvikingever]

[Oh hey it's that dude.]

Yup. Guess this time it's going to stay away.

[worstvikingever]

[Hiccup shrugs.]

I'm used to it, and this is the way it's supposed to be, so it doesn't bother me.

And yeah, it works well. I'll probably be working on it as time goes on, though.
