Waking up

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

[Viking and dragon incoming, but Hiccup doesn't seem all that happy.]

... others can dream they are heroes, or that they are at some other place, they could even fly without wings in their dreams, or anything but but but a princess?! Being a girl!? Haha, the Gods must have thought it would be funny to show me how it is to be a girl-! A princess even, very funny! ...A princess... In a kingdom with dragons...

[And in the middle of his rant, Hiccup's knees go weak and he falls flat on his face... and not getting up. Toothless, the dragon who is following him, stops next to him and lays down to take a nap too. They were practicing all day after all, so Hiccup could distract himself from the 'dream' he recently had.]

To Thor's hammer... But it was so real, how could it be so real, I can still remember everything... [Hiccup mutters into the Astral floor in a muffled voice.] I was- I was going to marry Astrid...! [The realization makes him blush like some kind of viking tomato.]


((ooc: Yyyes, the experiment has ended. No more Princess Hiccup or wild Nigh Furies around the Plane. Thus, freaked out Hiccup!))

[Toothless is freaking scary. But Matti is brave enough to scurry over to Hiccup, trip and sit next to him.] A-are you o-okay...?

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

The Gods hate me why wouldn't I be okay?! [Motions around with his arm, but still laying.]

[notameliajones.livejournal.com]

[This is slightly sillier than when maman gets a hangover.]

G-God doesn't hate you... e-eh... w-w-what happened to you...?

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

I don't even want to start on all of it. [Sighs.] I couldn't kill a dragon, and now I'm here, stuck with one, who I think as a friend of mine, and then this strange dream happened where I was a girl, and I wanted to ride dragons, because everyone was doing that-- What a stupid... idea... [Mutters and slowly sits up, his expression is thoughtful.]

[notameliajones.livejournal.com]

Th-that doesn't mean... l-look, God loves everyone no matter what... a-and if you couldn't kill... i-i-isn't that... g-good....? [Matti glances at the dragon, wary of it after all the stories about dragons kidnapping and/or eating princesses.]

[stillshinigami]

[The last thing Duo expects to see today while exploring, keeping his mind off war? It's a dragon.] The hell?

[Damn, he outta be used to this by now.]

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

Hel, yes, yes that is the place, that must be the place I'm at the moment, it must be.

[Toothless is already half asleep so he doesn't pick up on the panicky vibes. He is a bit lazy around Hiccup anyway.]

[stillshinigami]

Kid... this is not hell. Not even close. Not literally anyway.

I just didn't think I'd ever see.. whatever the heck that thing is. He yours?

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

I know this is not Hel, I was just saying... I feel like I'm there already.

[Sighs.]

He is a dragon, a Night Fury. Toothless. And you are, uuuh... [Finally, Hiccup pushes himself up to greet the stranger.] Aaaalright I don't think I know you. Uuh, hi I'm Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, nice to meet you!

[guyexplains.livejournal.com]

[Cool dragon bro!]

You alright there? [Because Hiccup looks both freaked out and embarrassed, Guy's nanny instincts kind of propel him towards the young man.]

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

[Toothless appreciates that!]

Just let me forget what happened and I'll be alright, or fine, or closer to good...! [Hiccup sighs, leaning against the sleeping dragon.]

[guyexplains.livejournal.com]

That sounds rough. [But Guy won't pry.]

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

It was. I was a girl! I mean, for real! I was a girl for real...! [Still can't get over that.] Who would ever do this to other people?!

[anoblesavage.livejournal.com]

It was not a dream. It was an experiment.

[As blind as she is, Leela is capable of recognising Hiccup's voice and kneeling at his side, resting one hand on his shoulder.]

You did not choose what happened, Hiccup. We wlll not judge you for it.

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

Experiment, Oh Odin... of course it was, yes. I can't even have the satisfaction that it was a dream. [Heavy sigh as he slowly sits up. He looks at Leela thankful.] But I was a girl, Leela, and there were other things, and it was just... horrible. If it really happened. Oh, Gods, it really happened...!

[anoblesavage.livejournal.com]

Yes. [She squeezes his shoulder in a comforting gesture.] But it is over.

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

[Hiccup sighs heavily, don't wanting to say that he feels pretty much like a fool now.] Did something like this happen with you too before?

[ex_oneiromancer912]

[Morgana seems so happy to see Toothless.] You are yourself again.

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

[Toothless recognizes the familiar scent of Morgana, so he takes the trouble to open his eyes and lift his head to look at her as a greeting.]

For the love of Freya... [Hiccup whimpers.] Of course it wasn't a dream, was it?

[ex_oneiromancer912]

If so, it was a dream we all shared. Hello, Toothless.

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

It's not fair... It was horrible. Well... right then and there it was I-I think just the usual panic about my dad, and dragons, but-- Being a girl?! [Hiccup sighs and watches as Toothless strolls to Morgana. Hey, he feels like he had seen her a long ago. He missed her!]

But in one thing it really was like a dream... In the kingdom, people and dragons could live together.

[DRAGON. Emil is only slightly intimidated.]

Is that a dragon?!

[He sees Hiccup at the last minute. Trying not to stomp all over him means that Emil stumbles, too, and now there are two derpfaces facedown on the Plane in relative proximity.]

Aaah!

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

[!!! Okay, Toothless is alarmed, there are high tension around him and that's something he might not... like. Though as he watches Emil fall, what reminds him of someone, he just... stares with big, cat-like eyes.]

[It makes Hiccup suddenly push himself up too, there are screaming after all!]

What? What? Oh-- yes, the usual dragon scare, what a surprise. Okay, calm down, of course he is a dragon. Toothless is a Night F-- [And hello other guy on the floor...] Well that's... familiar.

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[Emil disengages his face from the floor and rubs his nose to make sure it's still on. His face goes from a frown to an uneasy, awkward smile.]

S-sorry, I didn't see you...

[He pulls himself to his knees, then gets up.]

I thought most monsters didn't like people.

[He reaches out, then stops himself and lets his hand fall back to his side. Emil, of course, smells like dragons and kittens and chimeras and all sorts of beasties, and he would never hurt one. But Toothless is free to hate him on principle of not being Hiccup.]

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

Aah, no problem, I'm used to it you know. Apparently I'm not a viking-like viking, so common things like noticing I'm there is just too much to ask sometimes. B-but I'm not blaming them. [Hiccup laughs nervously as he gets up too and dusts himself.]

Uuuh... thaaaat is somehow true, but Toothless is different. I have a feeling that all the dragons are different, but I couldn't really test that yet. It's just-- [But he can't really say more since Toothless gets up and stomps toward Emil, sniffing loudly. Hey, he is interesting okay?] Whoah, alright, Toothless, easy! He won't hurt-- oookay I think you know he won't hurt you...
