Eleventh Viking Charge [ Video]

[punchandkiss]

[When the camera clicks on, rather than show Astrid, it shows a wide, grassy field. About twenty feet away, sitting in the grass, is Hiccup, next to his Salamance, apparently talking to it and not doing anything else. After maybe thirty seconds of this, the gear turns around to reveal Astrid, looking rather annoyed. Her Sentret, Fuzzball, is perched on her shoulder.]

I need to know how to snap a stupid boy out of a funk.

All he does is sit around staring at his gear or talking to his dragon or talking about that Clair trainer! Or talking to his dragon about that Clair trainer. Or just sitting there thinking about that Clair trainer! That's it!

[No she's not jealous, shut up.]

He's not training enough or doing anything and keeping his attention for more than five minutes is impossible!

[She almost shouts that last bit, and then catches herself and sighs.]

I just need to snap him out of it, that's all.

...Like what?

[audio] Feel the jealousy flow through you!

[punchandkiss]

Punching Hiccup never works, trust me.

[Astrid hits him a lot, really...]

Video

[punchandkiss]

He's kinda immune to me hitting him by now.

[She's a viking, this isn't weird.]

Oh. M-Maybe you could ask your Pokemon to use an attack...um lightly.

Well, there is that dance coming up. You could ask him to go with you.

[Oh hey, he knows that name.]

I think I've spoken to him once or twice.

[He was at Christmas at the Justice Ranch or whatever it's called.]

Well it does sound like you'll have to have a real talk with him at some point. Maybe if he saw this post you made he might realize that?

_{[Well, Heather might be a bit of a dummy when it comes to her OWN relationships, but she ain't blind.]}

... Sooo, what about it is pissing you off more?

The fact that he's off in la-la land, or the fact that he's got a crush?

[Video]

[punchandkiss]

Yeah, he did. We're uh...

Arguing...

Right now.

[video]

[punchandkiss]

But...I wasn't gonna go?

And all he'd want to do is see that girl there anyway.

[punchandkiss]

I don't think violence will fix this...this time.

[She is a usual advocate of violence.]

[Video]

[punchandkiss]

[Shut up Heather.]

La la land, obviously.

That's a weird name for it though.

Oh? It is a chance to see a new area, which is one of the reasons I am going, myself.

I could help you ensure that he won't look twice at that Clair woman.

[video]

[punchandkiss]

I guess...[She hadn't thought of that.]

[And then a beat.]

How?

[video]

[usedencore]

I can give you advice- and good advice, at that... But the real question is: are you going to be up-front if I ask you about why this situation is making you so mad?

Re: Video

[red_roses]

Then....then you have to call his name very loudly!

[video]

[punchandkiss]

...What are you talking about?

Video

[punchandkiss]

Okay, so he'll answer me if I try.

He just can't focus!

[video]

[bywiseguidance]

By making sure he does not take his eyes off of you, yes?

[...Ziva is an enabler.]

[video]

[punchandkiss]

Ah...I don't, I mean...

That's not...

[She mutters something under her breath. Why is it so hard to lie to Ziva?]

Re: Video

[red_roses]

Hmm....w-well, sometimes when my daddy is working very hard, my mom will make his favorite thing to eat....

Video

[punchandkiss]

[Astrid actually thinks that over for a moment.]

Well, it's a good idea, but his favorite thing is dragons and that's what he's thinking about now.

[Video]

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

Ah, well it's better then silence I suppose.

[Somewhat?]

You could always ask someone else to talk to him, if this doesn't work.

[video]

[newberktown]

[Hmmmmmn. He might be looking a little disappointed.]

Does that mean you're not going?

[video]

[punchandkiss]

I wasn't...I mean, I didn't get a ticket anyway.

[A pause.]

Are you?

[video]

[newberktown]

Well... I was thinking about it. The fourth ball that hit me on the head had a ticket in it, and I'm pretty sure the adults want to go, so...

Even if you don't want to dance, there are lots of other things you should be able to do. [He shrugs, looking a little more uncertain now.] I think tickets count for two people. You should go with me.
