Voice / Action for HazMats

[theaxeeffect]

So... this is what we use to talk to everyone, right? Weird, but okay.

I'm hoping most of you are used to the idea of having dragons around already, seeing as Toothless has apparently been here for a while. Well, now there's another one. Those of you on the Night Fury have probably noticed by now. She's big, blue and spiky, and she's mine. Her name's Stormfly.

Like Toothless, she won't do anything to you unless you attack her first. So don't. If you see her around and she lets you, you can pet her. She usually likes that. Just be careful of her spines -- they're poisonous.

If you aren't sure what to do, you can ask me, or Hiccup.

--Oh, I'm Astrid. I guess I should have said that first.

[anelegantmyth]

There ARE other dragons, you know. Just saying.

[ Don't worry. She's not being sarcastic. Her tone was more a reminder than anything. ]

Re: voice;

[theaxeeffect]

...Oh, right. Sorry. I've never seen any like yours before.

[anelegantmyth]

I'm not surprised. You have to be from my world to actually know about the dragons that come from there. Since, I'm positive, you won't see them anywhere else.

[theaxeeffect]

I wonder if the same is true for ours...

[anelegantmyth]

Well one thing's for sure, I have NEVER seen a dragon like Toothless, and I have a somewhat foggy memory of what yours looks like but I know I've never seen one like it either.

[theaxeeffect]

There may not be any others like Toothless, even at home.

There are a lot of Nadders, though.

[Action]

[willwork4sugar]

Yep. It's pretty weird talking to a book and you run the risk of looking crazy, but there's no denying that these things come in handy.

[The owner of the voice happens to be hanging out atop the fo'c'sle, running a whet stone along the edge of a blade.]

So, getting used to ship life?

Re: [Action]

[theaxeeffect]

[Looks up and closes the journal, self-conscious despite what he just said.]

Not really.

[Action]

[willwork4sugar]

[A smile quirks at his lips at that.]

Can't blame you. I've been here for months and I still prefer solid ground under my feet. My experience on ships back home's been for specific trips or brief battles, nothing ever this long.

Re: [Action]

[theaxeeffect]

[Small shrug.]

We've always had ships, but when we still relied on them I was too young to join the fighting. And after that... well. Why sail when you can fly?

[Action]

[willwork4sugar]

I'll admit, the most experience I've had in flying is whenever I had to hitch a ride with Twigs and Toothless, here.

Re: [Action]

[theaxeeffect]

Twigs?

[Action]

[willwork4sugar]

You know, Hiccup.

[theaxeeffect]

...I should have guessed.

[willwork4sugar]

So, everyone have dragons back where you're from?

[theaxeeffect]

In our village, yes.

[willwork4sugar]

Nice. We have something called wyvern riders back home. The wyverns they ride are pretty similar to dragons, but most of them look pretty similar, at least from those I've seen.

[theaxeeffect]

There are a lot of different kinds of dragons. Even more different than Night Furies and Deadly Nadders -- at least those are around the same size.

[willwork4sugar]

Heh, you sure have some colorful names for your them. ...sooo...how big do dragons get?

[theaxeeffect]

The largest is about the size of a small mountain.

[willwork4sugar]

[He whistles lowly, but that's only because he hasn't yet seen the Fell Dragon, back home.]

[theaxeeffect]

The smallest are about the size of a rat.

[willwork4sugar]

Huh. So they come in compact size too.

The ones we got are about as big as your dragon. ...and then we have Manaketes, although I think they're kind of rare. They're...I guess you could call them dragon-people? They can change from a human form into something like a dragon.

[theaxeeffect]

...Yeah, that's new to me.

Hiccup would probably like that, though. He tries hard enough.

[willwork4sugar]

[A laugh.]

That he does.

[theaxeeffect]

At least he doesn't have his flight suit here.

[willwork4sugar]

Flight suit?

[theaxeeffect]

It's exactly what it sounds like.

[willwork4sugar]

[Gaius shakes his head, smiling crookedly.]

Crazy kid.

[theaxeeffect]

[Can't help but smile herself.]

Yeah, that never changes.
