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.]

I thought this place, the Plane, is... well, like a dream world. That we're dreaming here! But... there are these experiments, why they're called experiments? Once, my whole home has changed but this place stayed the same. It's always the same.

[Hiccup frowns. His own words doesn't seem to make sense even to him.]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's not a dream -- I'm sure of that.

When you do an experiment, you make a change to something to test what happens.

Hmm... Then wouldn't it make more sense if they were changing the Plane then? If it's not the one being real...

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Hiccup, if the world you're from is real, the world I'm from is real, don't you think that there's a chance that the Plane might be real too?

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

It feels extremely real, yes. And evil. Just like Hel. [Hiccup nods.] Too real...

[Conan reaches over to pat Hiccup's arm.]

Don't let it bother you. If it's real, there's a way to explain it. Once we work out what that is, we'll be able to put a stop to these experiments.

It just gets me thinking sometimes. [Hiccup sighs.] I really hope...

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Nothing wrong with thinking.

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

Tell it to my tribe! [Snorts.]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

That bad, huh?

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

No, no, not really, if you prefer to use your head. Literally. Uh, they don't even know what 'literally' means...

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

It's okay. I had to teach my friends at school what 'literally' meant too ...

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

Really? But you said book are common in your world... sooo I'm guessing that people couldn't be that stupid...

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

They're not stupid, just young.
