⇟ [Voice | Action for Hazmat Crew]

[summing_it_up]

[Oh, what's this? It sounds like the journal fell onto sturdy wood planks, vibrating with the stumbling sound of footsteps running a ways away from where it landed. Well, make that footsteps and a light metal clunking mixing with the sound of a teenage Viking's yelling.]

–Aw, Toothless! No!

[The noise in the background cuts off with an abrupt and very confused growf.]

[ACTION]

[Anyone aboard the HAZMAT will now notice a ring of fresh, smoldering burn marks somewhere on the fo'c'sle (the front) of the ship.

Hiccup will be standing off to the side of it with his hands on his head.]

...Yup, this will not be good. I'm dead!

[Toothless sits there next to the unfinished ring, head tilted as he wonders what's wrong. What did he do? He just wanted to take a nap!]

[slugly]

Right! Definitely not! [YOU CAN PROBABLY HEAR HER WINK]

But if a dragon did cause trouble, it's probably a lot worse than trouble caused by anything else.

[except maybe kraken]

[summing_it_up]

[Kraken no Kraken please]

Should I be thankful that it isn't as bad as it could have been??

voice;

[slugly]

[what about cannibals]

I would be relieved but there's no harm in being thankful too. What sort of not-trouble is he causing?

voice;

[summing_it_up]

[That's just as bad]

He's. Burning the deck.

voice;

[slugly]

[cannibal more creepy!

Ah. Yes. That is bad. Hiccup DID say it could be worse though.]

You...




Still have a ship, right?

voice;

[summing_it_up]

[Okay, they are]

Yyyes. Yes, we do, thank Odin.

voice;

[slugly]

[Relieved sigh.] That's probably what you meant by it could be worse.

[it definitely could have been]

Why is he burning the deck?

voice;

[summing_it_up]

[He bites his lower lip for a second.]

He. Wanted to sleep.

voice;

[slugly]

... And burning things is like warm milk for dragons?

voice;

[summing_it_up]

Sort of? I guess? I still haven't figured it out.

voice;

[slugly]

The only thing I can think of is thermoregulation. Dragons sort of resemble lizards and lizards are cold-blooded animals so they need to bask in the sunlight to regulate body temperature.

... Maybe he's cold?

[HAHA...HA?]

voice;

[summing_it_up]

...

You know. I think that's a very good explanation.

voice;

[slugly]

Really? [She sounds pleased.]

Maybe you should find him a blanket then. That's a lot less dangerous for the ship.

voice;

[summing_it_up]

[He chuckles.]

Yeah, I should. I might have to get a few of them. Hope the other guys don't mind.

voice;

[slugly]

If it saves them a ship, I'm sure they won't in the least.

voice;

[summing_it_up]

That's an argument I'm going to borrow. You don't mind, do you?

voice; 1/2

[slugly]

Not at all!

2/3 I MEAN

[slugly]

As long as you pay me fifty doubloons.

donezo

[slugly]

Kidding!

Aaaa

[summing_it_up]

What, no way– ?

[Oh, he's being teased about it. He makes a muppet-like face (not that she can see).]

Hah. Okay then.

nerdsss

[slugly]

[POOR HICCUP]

Fifty is definitely too much. How about ten?

[STILL KIDDING. It's obvious because after she's said it, seriously, there's a light laugh.

Will he fall for it?]

nooo

[summing_it_up]

[He's getting it. He still plays along, though.]

If I had any, sure! Good luck trying to get anything outta me.

yesss brilliant awkward neeerds

[slugly]

[yes good]

We are pirates now, you know.

weepweep

[summing_it_up]

...I have to admit that you have a point.

cry some more /heavy

[slugly]

[she has those a lot]

Don't worry, I wouldn't.

[p a u ses when she thinks of mind-controlling candy]

Intentionally, at least.
