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.]

[Sokka sure is pressing his face to the screen. FIRE isn't exactly his favorite element, when people use it to oppress your own people for over a century, you tend to be a little leery of it. But that thing, that is just- ]

Dude, that is so awesome.

[personal profile] alwayscomeback 2015-07-26 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I bet you could use those for all kinds of things, not just the whole...bug thing. You need fire in a flash? Bam, there it is.
alwayscomeback: (And I won't let you choke)

[personal profile] alwayscomeback 2015-08-09 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Ugh, me too, man. It's hard getting by when you've only got your brain and can't magically make fire come from your fingertips or anything.

[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.
alwayscomeback: (My broken mind)

[personal profile] alwayscomeback 2015-08-16 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I get it.

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?

[Bran has been watching the flamethrower in COMPLETE AWE, but when he hears his name he pipes up excitedly.]

I'm right here! On the First Breath.
summerschild: (♜ but there was no sound)

[personal profile] summerschild 2015-07-26 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, please.

[He sits up straighter in his little supply-room cot.]

What is it?
summerschild: (♜ oh keep the spirits strong)

[action]

[personal profile] summerschild 2015-07-26 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
I'm in here! Look to your right!

[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.]

Apology accepted. It's just nothing special when I look at it.

[... Oh right, that's a thing.]

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.]

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!
