[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.]

Oh. Huh. So it's pretty important to find the right person?

[yoichi]

Yes. There is something called 'Resonance' which allows you to become more powerful, if you can cooperate with your partner.

[worstvikingever]

Right. I remember hearing about that... but how do you know if you're... uh... resonating?

[yoichi]

It's... a unique feeling. You can communicate through your minds, and you feel much stronger.

[worstvikingever]

[Well that catches him by surprise. No one mentioned that.]

Oh. Wow.

[yoichi]

Strange, yes.

You'll probably get used to it.
