001 | accidental video

[The view on the feed is an accidental one to say the least. It's constantly shifting and moving, due to the fact that Astrid has tucked the Forge away against her belt, partially obscuring the video and giving the rest of it a charming view of the large scaly blue leg of the dragon walking beside her.

Someone clearly didn't stay inside those outworlders' quarters for long.

The dragon lets out the occasional low chatter, and there's an off-screen rattling some may find familiar to a snake.]

Easy Stormfly.

[Astrid's own tone drips with wariness, and from the corner of the frame you can see her fist adjusting and clenching against the handle of some sort of weapon. A double sided battle axe to be exact.]

Let me just try to figure out where we are. Or how in Thor's name we got here in the first place...

[Her steps are careful and deliberate, until the Forge lets out an angry buzz of feedback. One of the many skulls adorning her belt had brushed against something on the communication device, and it didn't quite agree with it it seems.

Astrid lets out a yelp of surprise, couple with an alarmed squawk from Stormfly, and wrenches the Forge from it's spot before throwing it away from her. The video feed shakes and spins, but the sight of sharp poisonous spines flying towards it is probably hard to miss.]

Oh! Was that a dragon?

[She's only ever seen Toothless, but she's curious to meet more.]

[The spines clatter harmlessly against the screen and around it and Astrid edges closer only to poke the edge of her axe against it. She peers down at it, her gaze narrowed.]

It was. And I won't stop her from turning you into ash if you don't put an end to this... talking back thing.

[Whatever you are.]

[her eyes widen and she throws up her hands.]

You mean the forge? It's just for talking to people...

[Suddenly she pauses, as if realizing something.]

Wait! You're Hiccup's friend, aren't you?

The forge? That is not a forge.

[She pauses, and her eyes narrow even further. Stormfly steps up behind Astrid to look down at the device with one sharp yellow eye, clacking her beak-like jaws in warning.]

And just how do you know Hiccup?

I know, it's just...what they call it, I guess.

[She shrugs and begins running some of her hair through her hands.]

He's here. Um, in Anatole. We're friends.

[ The glimpse on the network is a little confusing, but then Rapunzel comes to the rescue and Jack grins when the new girl demands to know where Hiccup is. Taking the chance his Viking friend will be able to see him too, Jack soars in the general direction of the outlander blocks until one huge blue dragon proves very hard to miss.

Silently dropping down behind the blond girl, he blows hoarfrost over the back of her neck then swerves back to grin, all upside-down. ]

Chilly tonight, huh?

[The sudden brush of coldness makes prompts a slight shiver from Astrid and she turns her head. Out of the corner of her eye she glimpses something, no someone, and catches a brief snatch of words, as though someone was shouting at her from a great distance.

Astrid glances around, her nose wrinkling as she squints. Stormfly inches forward to bump her from behind with her nose and Astrid turns towards the dragon, offering a halfhearted pat on her horn.]

It's alright girl. [Her gaze continues to wander.] I just thought I heard something.

Oh, this is going to be good.

[ Snorting when she fails to see the hand waving in front of her face, the breeze picks up and he glides over her dragon.

A tap from his staff sends ice all over those leathery wings. ]

[Stormfly gives a squawk, snapping her wings in an attempt to dislodge the sudden ice-over and Astrid frowns.]

Hey!

[Her tone is one of surprise and uncertainty, and she rocks from foot to foot, shifting the grip on her axe.]

[Some time after his friends have spoken to her, Hiccup is scrolling through the network posts on the Forge and pauses at the sound of her voice, eyes widening. It's been five or six months since he's heard anyone from home outside of his extracted memories, so her appearance is not only startling but makes his heart leap into his throat in the non-romantic sense of the term.]

A-Astrid? Astrid, your, um, your Forge...accidentally turned itself on.

Hiccup!

[She still holds the Forge close to her face. Uncomfortably close, some may say.]

Where are you?

Whoa! Okay, you might want to hold it a bit more at arm distance. It's a communication device, there's no need to hold it close like you're talking to someone in person.

[He raises his hands away from his own, attempting to placate her. There's nothing worse than an angry Astrid sometimes. With a small sigh, there's a trill off to his side and Toothless pokes his head into view, giving a happy noise when he recognizes her voice.]

Oh Thor, it really is you...I mean unless the Door's playing tricks on me...but it's that time of the month...

[The last part is muttered to himself and he picks up his Forge, scratching the back of his neck.]

I'm in the city. Where are you?

[She blinks and pulls away slightly, a smile flitting across her face at Toothless's appearance and Stormfly chirps from off-screen.

Her smile then fades into a grimace, and Astrid huffs, ruffling her bangs with a puff of air.]

Well of course it's me. Who else would it be?

[She pauses, chewing on her lower lip.]

I... I don't know where I am. I couldn't stay in those rooms I woke up in, and Stormfly was waiting for me outside, so I started to walk. I figured we'd make it back to Berk eventually.
