video ☇ world's on fire
Who: Hiccup & you!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Sure, he's on the blue planet.
When: 7/24
[video]
[The feed is a little blurry at first, but then Hiccup adjusts it. It's the engine room, supposedly, though it's covered in scrap metal and schematics and cloth-draped projects. Hiccup waves a little before he starts. He's wearing his usual leather armor, though his hair is pretty poofy. Thanks humidity.]
Uh, hey, everyone. I've been working on a couple things and I thought they might be useful. Basically, whatever I didn't use for a personal project ended up going into something I call a Firebelcher.
[He reaches off screen briefly and grabs what looks like a flamethrower.]
The Nunn... nunnilly... the ant people need help getting rid of fungal blooms. Fire's the best way to do it, so I made a couple of these to help. As you might guess from the name, they spit fire about six feet in front of you. The switch is here-- [he turns and points to it] -- and it'll turn off if you remove pressure as a safety feature.
Each belcher has about five minutes of continuous fire. That doesn't sound like a lot, but it should be enough to do a lot of clearing. When it runs out of juice bring it back and I'll give it a refill.
I'll be at the village nearest the blooms if you want to help.
[He puts the flamethrower down.]
Also, ah, if anyone knows where Bran is... mind pointing him my way?
[action]
[Anyone looking for Hiccup will find him out on the beach where he said he'd be. He's got a nice pile of handmade Firebelchers and some canisters, which are definitely in the shade and basically half-hidden beneath sheets and such. He's ditched most of the armor so he can take a break and jot down some notes. He's wearing a green shirt with the sleeves rolled up and unfortunate leather pants, and it's too damn hot even so.
He's also got a mad case of sunburn.]

Dude, that is so awesome.

Heh, thanks. It took some work to figure out how to propel it without blowing the whole thing up, but I figured it out. Eventually.

The Firebelchers are a bit bulky though. I prefer something like a flaming sword-- even if my crewmates don't always appreciate the utility.
[They just don't want things to explode in their faces. It's not a bad thing.]
no subject
[He knows that's not how it works, but that's the explanation he's living with, ]
What's not to appreciate? So long as you're not using it to burn people, it's a great thing to have around.
no subject
[He shrugs.]
Most people in my village like doing things the old fashioned way. If something is new and it looks a little weird, they'll probably think it's stupid.
no subject
My tribe is stuck in the old ways. Tradition is great and all, but how is your life gonna get any easier if you stick to tradition for everything?

[video]
I'm right here! On the First Breath.
[video]
I'm glad you're still around, or else this... would be a little sad. [He clears his throat.] Anyway, I have something-- something for you. I made it.
Why don't I come to you? That might be better.
no subject
[He sits up straighter in his little supply-room cot.]
What is it?
video --> action?;
[Time to jump in a shuttle. He manages to find one left, though the other one is... no idea. The important thing is that he knows how to fly it and he's not going to question just how. There are more important things.
But he does show up on the First Breath, and he's carrying something under his arm.]
Bran? Are you this way? ... Ugh, what a great time to get lost.
[action]
[Bran's voice comes from around the corner, in the ship's small supply closet. It's barely large enough to fit his small bed, but at least he doesn't need to use stairs to get to his cot this way.]
no subject
[A pause, then he remembers what he came here for.] Right, so... the surprise. Just give me a minute...
[He unfolds whatever it is under his arm. There's at least four snaps involved and some moving parts, mainly the axles locking into place. But then he sets the thing down and moves aside, and it's a small wheelchair. It's made out of scrap metal, but a new coat of paint definitely helps make it look respectable.]
It's a rolling chair. I, um, thought it would help you get around faster. It doesn't help with stairs, but I hope it'll help you do things on your own.

[It never gets old.]
video;
No one said you had to use it. If-- if you have a better idea, by all means, go ahead! Just trying to help out.
video;
Nothing better. Just saying it doesn't look impressive to me.
no subject
I'm sorry that I can't appeal to your sense of genius.

[Why yes, she is going to keep this up.]
no subject
Have you tried, uh, cutting your hair?

I need it.
video;
... For... helping with the fungus, right?
video;
Well, yeah! I mean, I can't use fire magic or anything else fire-y, so that's the only way I could help.
[Also oh my god it's a flamethrower.]
video;
Same here. Normally I'd just ask my friend to roast everything, but he's not here so I have to improvise.
video;
Well, it's a good improvisation! I think he'd be impressed. [Or roll his eyes, who knows?] Do you mind if I head over now? I want to try it out!
no subject
[He brightens slightly.]
That'd be great. Hold on a second, I'll send you my location. [Bam, some coordinates.] I'm outside the village proper.
