(Or just come harass him in person over here on the Farm!)

[Hiccup's next reply is actually an audio message--it's quicker, anyway.]

Did you want to go with?

[He's careful to make it clear that it's simply an invitation. No use guilting Albert into it with a hopeful tone if he didn't want to go--the point was to repair this damaged bridge, not wreck it further by annoying him.]
newberktown: (really trying to pull that shit with me?)

[It takes a few seconds for that fact to register, but he definitely notices.]

It's possible.
newberktown: (i actually built this dragon)

[It just wasn't something that happened in dragon-slaying class.]

That's what I was thinking, yeah. [Now that he knows how.] Haven't actually built anything in a while, and I probably can't accidentally start a fire with this.

[...Right?]
newberktown: (okay let's see what you're up to)

Sounds a lot like people.

[...No, that totally wasn't a pointed comment.]

If the thing isn't turning, it shouldn't spark right? [He'd rather keep his streak of explosion-free months going.] I'll just stop it if it breaks for some reason.
newberktown: (and i made a dork of myself again)

[Hiccup sighs, but otherwise doesn't push the issue. It's not the time.]

Great. Shouldn't be a problem, then. [Though he does make a mental note to buy an extra bulb or two. You can never be too careful when your name is Hiccup Horrendous Haddock.] So, uhmn... Did you? Want to come with? I can ask someone else, if you don't.
newberktown: (that was unexpected)

[personal profile] newberktown 2012-09-19 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? [He sounds surprised, but not unpleasantly so.

...Honestly, the fact that Albert agreed is enough to keep him from commenting on those names. Because what.]
I mean, uhmn--we shouldn't be gone for too long, anyway.
newberktown: (derp)

[HICCUP is a better name than Albert's names.]

I would if I could... [It was all so advanced, though. Where the heck was he going to find this stuff on the Isle of Berk?] It's more because of that storm messing with the network, though. Someone started talking about power being knocked out and back-up generators.
newberktown: (sooooo...)

Then I guess I'll just have to learn that, too. [...He figures it's harmless enough to mention her.] Carmen started teaching me about it, anyway. Ben Franklin, with his kite and his key.
newberktown: (welp)

[You forgot to mention his stunning good looks, Albert...

But instead of trying to come up with something that will appease Albert on all fronts, Hiccup goes for a different question.]


What kind of stuff did da Vinci do? Besides writing in code.

[He may have pronounced the name wrong, but he's a viking. What did you expect?]
newberktown: (you have got to be kidding me...)

[Sorry, but there's one part of that speech that Hiccup's a bit stuck on.]

He took apart corpses?
newberktown: (I CAN EXPLAIN)

[personal profile] newberktown 2012-09-20 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
Uhmn, I--

[The little voice in his head is screaming ABORT! ABORT!]

It's just not exactly something you see every day, is it?
newberktown: (BOOOOOO!)

1/2 - september 18th - an olive branch.
