On potentially going to poly_chromatic

[engages_nightfuries]

I don't think I like your idea of fun. I mean, for me, fun is spending time with my friends on Berk. It's flying with Toothless and inventing something for my village, improving on things.

Fun isn't getting sent to a...what did you call it? A 'pocket dimension'?

I don't even know what that means. And considering my 'canon', as you call it, don't you think I've gone through enough on Berk without having to throw curses my way, too?

I...fine. Fine. Do whatever you want. Just...can you at least try to make sure Toothless is there? If he isn't, I'll trade for him. I want at least one familiar face there. Just one but if the others show up, that's great, too.

[ NICE, QUICK, CYNICAL ACCEPTANCE OF YOUR FATE, MAN he's kind of impressed ]

...Who's Toothless?

[engages_nightfuries]

[It's a talent. It's also a bluff until he can find a way to change his apparent destiny. Which he's not so sure he can, tbh! His mun is stubborn.]

My dragon. And my best friend.

[ethos]

He sounds like a fun friend to have. None of the dragons I know would be cool with people — [ riding them? flying with them? approaching anywhere close? ALL OF THE ABOVE ] ...people.

[engages_nightfuries]

Toothless is the best. It took a while for him to trust me and all, but he's amazing. And then I had to convince everyone back home that dragons weren't as bad as we thought they were so that I could keep Toothless around.

[ethos]

Then it sounds like the effort was definitely worth it. How long till you convince everyone else they want a dragon of their own?

[engages_nightfuries]

It took a while. [And cost him his left leg.] Now all the kids in Berk have one and the parents are finding uses for the dragons instead of trying to kill them off.

I'm Hiccup.

[ethos]

Hiccup? [ is that short for anything? ] I'm Percy.

And convincing the parents sounds like it was the hardest part of all that.

[engages_nightfuries]

They were pretty set in their 'all dragons are awful and must die' mindset.

[ethos]

I can't imagine a lot of normal parents that wouldn't be. I'm pretty lucky my mom never flipped out over some of the things that have followed me home.

[engages_nightfuries]

...what kinda stuff follows you home?

[ethos]

Pegasi, mostly... [ right because somehow monsters usually attack him at school ] And my hellhound wrecked the living room once before I had a chance to explain.

No dragons, though. I've only seen a couple around, and one's not even real.

[ruff]

Wait, you're going away? That SUCKS, man! And what the hell is a pocket dimension supposed to be, anyway?

[engages_nightfuries]

According to my mun, you won't even know I'm gone. Time works differently in this place, apparently. I could be there for years and return to Berk at the exact second of my departure.

[Yeah, he can't make sense of it, either.] A pocket dimension is a place that exists nowhere but still exists. Or something.

[ruff]

Exists nowhere, but ... that makes my head hurt. I'll have to tell my brother about it and watch his brain ooze out his ears.

Uh, good luck with your trip to ... nowhere.

[engages_nightfuries]

[Flat, dry tone.] Thanks, Ruffnut.

It'd be better if my mun knew if she could take Toothless or not. She's not even sure this is possible.

[ruff]

Going without your dragon? That would break his heart, and probably yours. Hope you can take him with you.

[engages_nightfuries]

I can trade for him, apparently, but the people I trade with take really....weird stuff. They're deities who can take anything at all.

[ruff]

Hmm, maybe if they like weird stuff you can trade them for Astrid's yaknog. At least then we don't have to drink it. XÞ

[engages_nightfuries]

[No, he didn't just laugh at that. What are you talking about? He would never laugh at Astrid because she would kill him for it.]

If it were that easy...they take memories for a while. Things like that.

[ruff]

Oh, ouch, that's not a good thing. Unless they were taking all memory that I have a brother, of course.

[engages_nightfuries]

None of this is a good thing.

[Pausing and looking a bit hopeful.] I don't suppose my mun can convince yours to try to send you there, can she?

[ruff]

Aw, sorry. My mun has _issues_. She has the attention span of a flea, so tomorrow I might be on the shelf for someone in another fandom. She's also too chicken to go into those big organized games (just reading the userinfo on that one you're going to made her eyes cross.) That's why she plays here; she can use several different characters with no obligations.

In other words, she's a big flake. [rolleyes]

[engages_nightfuries]

Of course. [Ah, well.] Well, my mun has two others there and she says the players are friendly so if you ever change your mind or have questions, to contact her and she'll do what she can.
