Something is not right with home

[This is Hiccup. Slowly pacing forward, with an absent expression on his face. He looks very tried too. Toothless, his dragon, follows him from a distance, looking utterly confused at him.]

[This is Hiccup, still. Noticed the changes in his reality. The temples... the strange, glowing, whatever things that people call portals... and that huge, maybe god-made metal boat-like-thing on the ocean... and the olive trees. The. Olive trees. He only had heard about them in books. It's just too much...]

Too muuuuch... S-sometimes I-I wonder if this isn't the gods playing a trick on me, if this isn't the end of the world, this must be it, if it's my luck, it definitely is the end of the world... [He mutters to himself in disbelief still just walking forward without any goal, followed by Toothless.]

Ragnarok itself...! [Siiiigh.] My... Berk has changed, and no one noticed it!

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

No one but you has noticed it?

What are the changes?

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

Apparently... No one, so uuh I'm not ever sure they are really there, or if they weren't there before, maybe my mind is still messed up. [Frowns, shaking his head.] Uuuh so far I noticed the- the olive trees, and temples, and... a very huge, metal... boat? I-I'm not even sure what it was...!

Hiccup-kun, has anyone told you about reality mergers?

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

R-r-r-r-reality mergers? [He might have read it once, somewhere, but there were more interesting things around, and--- No. The answer would be probably no.]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Right.

The different places we all come from, they're called realities, right? Sometimes when people meet here and form bonds, those bonds pull their respective realities together.

Like Haibara, who is from the same world as me, became friends with Satoshi-kun, right? So Satoshi-kun's school showed up in our world and our school showed up in his. But until I came to the Plane, I didn't even realise anything was strange about it! Sound familiar?

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

[Hiccup pulls huge eyes at that. Familiar indeed. Makes a lot of sense even.] Oh... Ooooh. Oh, yes I see. Completely normal, just as I suspected, yes, everything is fine, nothing out of the ordinary strangeness of this weird place.

Bu-- But... T-that means one day everyone's reality will merge into one! What will happen then!?

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

[That is -- a worrying thought.]

Hopefully we'll have figured out what is behind the machine by then and will come up with a way to prevent that.

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

[Indeed.]

Uuuh, I really hope. I kinda, start to have enough of the things it does... [Hiccup purses his mouth, thinking about the latest 'trick' it has pulled on him.]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Speaking of, how are you and Toothless doing?

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

Oh uh, you know just some trust issues, nothing... important. [Nervous laugh.] I'm surprised he still puts up with me even after I tried to kill him... again.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Ah. I guess it'd be hard to explain something like magical candies to a dragon ... still, if he's sticking around, it must mean he knows that wasn't really you he saw.

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

[Sighs, but smiles a little.] All of Berk's fishes won't be enough to satisfy him after this. He got more demanding, but I can't ask for a better friend.

But, but, did you get affected as well, Conan? I hope you didn't.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

I don't know -- a full stomach goes a long way, Hiccup-kun.

I noticed people acting weird and worked out something was wrong so I avoided eating the candy, luckily!

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

Uh, that is really is lucky. I wish I would have gotten your letter earlier. Though I don't think I would have realized that something is wrong with the candy...

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

When you meet three people in a row who all want to hurt you ... it's a bit obvious!

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

[Blinks... !!!] ... and ARE YOU ALRIGHT? I mean, you seem fine, bu-but, uh- so are you okay?

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

I'm fine, I'm fine! Only one of them tried to hurt me, and when he did, I had plenty of time to think myself back home!

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

Aaah, this is bad, this is so bad. People might be still around, playing their evil twin, and hurting others, Conan!

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

If there is, they won't be hard to spot -- and now we know about it, it'll be twice as obvious!

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

[Sighs.] Now I'm glad Toothless doesn't eat candy. Gwen said the coins were in the back of the shop, shouldn't we get more? Or is there enough already?

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen or heard of anyone acting oddly, so we're probably okay -- although getting more wouldn't be a bad idea! Just be careful -- did Duo tell you about what happened to the people who went to the shop?

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

Everyone went back to what they were? I hope it's true. Eh, no... He didn't. [Frowns a little.] Why what happened?

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Getting the things to break the spell wasn't as easy as walking into the shop -- people were shown the things that they're most frightened of! It was pretty scary.

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

What...? [And now he feels bad.] That mustn't have been a very happy experience. Gwen... Gwen did that all for me... For us!
