Heyyyy so remember me--

[ Yeah, probably not. Viking girl who wanted to go home how long ago? Yeah, she's still alive. And she still doesn't know how to properly use the journal, but she does know if she screams at it long enough words will start appearing. Which is nice. But still weird. ]

I'm... Astrid, and I've kind of been a bit anti-social what with dealing with my dragon and all and trying to figure out new things like... toasters! Why didn't we think of that? They're so-- oh.

[ Getting a little off track, yep. Um. That doesn't happen a lot, really. ]

Anyway, considering all I do all day is sit around outside or bother Hiccup I think it might be a good time to actually... oh... make some friends? Acquaintances? People I can wave to as I pass them?

Maybe? I, uh, got some pretty cool scars I can show off.

[ This is weird. Hiccup's awkward is rubbing off on her. She's just going to stop while she's ahead, okay. She was the most popular person in Berk so this whole thing is just. No. ]

[Connor chuckles]

Dragon, hmm? Can't really say much 'bout that, but it's nice t'meet you, Astrid. I'm Connor. I jus' got 'ere last week.

[ex_battleaxe109]

She's a Deadly Nadder, she's really taking advantage of the-- [ Hey, Astrid. Nobody here knows anything about dragons. So... ] This place isn't that bad, not exactly better than home but I mean, could be worse, right? It's uh, nice to meet you too.

I can log in with the right account, really

[spiritusaequitas]

[oh my god little Viking girl why are you so adorable. Murphy chuckles a little before speaking up]

Scars, huh? ... How'd you get 'em?

[ex_battleaxe109]

Oh, well-- some bad fires, some dragon attacks, I don't know. The usual.

[amiable]

Did you just say you have a dragon?

[ex_battleaxe109]

Her name is Stormfly.

[amiable]

There's so many dragons suddenly here!

[spiritusaequitas]

Dragons? ... I keep hearin' people say that one'a these days I'll get used'ta hearin' shit like that...

But t'day isn't quite that day.

[ex_battleaxe109]

That's not exactly a bad thing.

[ex_battleaxe109]

Well I never thought I'd get used to a device that toasts bread. Or bagels. [ Bagels are a new discovery, too. ] But I did.

[amiable]

O-Oh! I didn't mean --

[amiable]

There aren't any dragons back in my world!

[shepherdsveritas]

Yeah, I'm 'fraid I don't know what that is. Aren't any dragons or anythin' like that where I come from. T'tell y'the truth, this whole place has been pretty f-- [Wait... kid...] pretty unbelievable.

[ex_battleaxe109]

I've realized that my lifestyle is uh, definitely the uncommon one here.

[amiable]

[ She pauses. ]

Are... you maybe from Hiccup's world?

[ex_battleaxe109]

[ Hey, she's not a kid. She's eighteen. And a viking. She's heard worse. She's just from a Disney movie, ok. ]

Yeah, I can definitely agree on that one. It's really something, isn't it?

[spiritusaequitas]

Guess it does go both ways, yah. Hadn't really thought've it that way before. 'Lectricity's probably just as odd to you as dragons are to me.

... Name's Murphy.

[ex_battleaxe109]

Same island and everything. You know Hiccup?

[ex_battleaxe109]

Uh, yeah. Pretty odd.

[ Oh. Murphy. She has to get used to these names, too. ]

I'm Astrid-- but you knew that already.

[shepherdsveritas]

[Shush. He's a relatively good Catholic boy. 'Til he knows her better he's gonna try to watch his fucking language. He chuckles]

Somethin'... that's one way to put it, yeah.

[amiable]

Yeah, Hiccup's a friend of mine!

[spiritusaequitas]

That I did. ... Where y' at, Astrid? Can't say I'm comfortable talkin' to people over a book just yet.

[ex_battleaxe109]

You kinda have to look at the good in it or you're just gonna be making yourself miserable here, you know?

[ex_battleaxe109]

I'm outside.

I'm always outside.

[ex_battleaxe109]

He's kind of a loser, isn't he?

[ Oh no. Humor can't be read. ]
