[HICCUP IS GOING TO FIGURE OUT THE COMMUNICATOR TODAY IF IT KILLS HIM.

So first you'll be getting a text post.]

wajrig oh so that's how that works

[Truly brilliant. Next he'll be fiddling with the video... aaaand there it goes. SUDDENLY IT IS VIDEO. Hiccup blinks and he flinches back away from the communicator before leaning in toward it, clearly fascinated.]

Oh. Wow. That's cool.

[He grins a little and leans back.]

Oh. Oh it's... oh gods...

[WHOOPS HE DIDN'T REALIZE HE WAS ACTUALLY BROADCASTING AND NOW HE IS FLUSTERED BUT TRYING TO RECOVER]

Sorry! Sorry, I just... um. I'm trying to figure the communicator... thing... out. Um. I kind of come from a time when we didn't have like. Anything you've got here so... yeah. Figuring stuff out! Super fun times. Woo.

Anyway. I'm Hiccup, hi. Yes, that is my name.

Um. So... uh. [HE WASN'T PLANNING ON BROADCASTING WHAT DO] So what do you guys do around here? I mean I know there's a war going on... or something... but how does that actually work? Do we get attacked a lot? And what do you do when that isn't happening? The city is waaaay different from Berk, so... I'm kind of lost here.

I know I'm kind of asking a lot of questions and I'm sorry but. Yeah. Confused. So. Any help would be awesome. Thanks.

[He's more than "kind of" lost but he won't admit it.]

Well, during training times there's places where you can pair up with Weapons and Mice-sters to see if you're compatible. Resonance determines if you'll succeed. You learn about that yet?

[worstvikingever]

Not... really...

[WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO BE COMPLICATED sheesh]

*the look on his face makes Auron chuckle* It sounds complicated but once you actually try it a few times, you get the idea. Do you know if you're a Weapon or a Mice-ster?

[worstvikingever]

They told me I was a Meister.

[nofarplaneyet]

Okay, so you're like me. You need to find someone who can turn into a Weapon and see if you work well with them.

You, yourself, also have a special ability since you're a Mice-ster. You can either use it yourself or it only works if you have a Weapon. Only trick is that we can't figure it out right away.

[worstvikingever]

Oh yeah, they told me that I could heal weapons but I dunno how I'm supposed to even practice that.

[nofarplaneyet]

You can heal Weapons? That might be the one of the more important skills around here.

If you can do that, it means that if a Weapon is injured, you should be able to fix them up.

[worstvikingever]

[blink blink

hiccup important? huh.]

Maybe, but I dunno if it's like any Weapon or just whoever's my partner or whatever or if we have to be fighting or if it can be any time I dunno.

[nofarplaneyet]

Well, for something like that, you'd need to test it out. Even if all you could do was heal your partner, you could be saving their lives with your skill.

[worstvikingever]

[Oh.]

Huh.

[That's. A big deal.]

[nofarplaneyet]

*Pretty much.*

So it's something worth testing. *Then realizes he hasn't given his name.* Name's Auron. I'm in charge of one of the Zones in the Watch and I teach on the training grounds.

[worstvikingever]

Okay cool. Uh. Yeah, I guess I'll have to try it out.

What do you teach?

[nofarplaneyet]

I teach beginners some of the basics, I teach anyone who wants to learn how to use a sword. Also teach a survival skills class.

[worstvikingever]

[He nods.]

Okay. I'll uh. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.

[nofarplaneyet]

Name's Auron if you need to find me.
