[GODS how do you use this thing? Hiccup will be pushing buttons and every now and then there's a short 'Wow', or 'Well that didn't work.' or... various other mildly frustrated phrases and then finally.]

Okay... so I push this and... tilt it like. Oh! Hey, I think it's working. If that... green light thing means what I think it means.

Okay! So. ... Everyone. I guess. [Man, how's he going to put this? He'll speak slowly, it's obvious he's double thinking this. Enjoy the elaborate hand gestures as he tries to describe his sentences.]

I haaave a question for you.

[More hesitation and some minor background noise since no one responds right away.]

I guess I should just come out and say it then, huh?

Right um. So how does everyone feel aboooouuut dragons?

Not that. You know, it's a big deal or something to be worried about or anything. Just... a general question of curiosity. Right. [Not suspicious, nope. NOPE.]

I'll just... hope somebody actually heard that.

[Ignoring everything else for a moment...]

Aliens?

[strategic_guile]

[Fingers wiggle] Aliens~!

[toothpicc]

Okay. All right. You're just trying to... yep. Not falling for that one.

All right so! Actually. There are no dragons here. Probably. I was just you know, wondering if there ever were theeeen... how would people react. Really. No dragons.

[strategic_guile]

[He laughs] No, I'm serious about the aliens. Walk around for a while and you'll see what I mean.

[Doesn't believe him, but he smiles anyway] Well, if they freak out about dragons, they're going to have a nervous breakdown eventually. There's a lot of weird stuff here.

[toothpicc]

Yeah, aliens. My roommates a troll. I think I'm getting used to it.

[strategic_guile]

A real troll? [Nods his head in acknowledgement of the weird] Well, you have dragons. Is that really so far fetched?

[toothpicc]

Not what I was expecting, either. [Shrugs]

I guess... not? This place is just weird. It takes some getting used to. ... A lot of getting used to.

[strategic_guile]

I'll give you that. [Snerk; then gives a wave]

Anyway, don't let your dragon eat anyone and you should do fine.

[toothpicc]

[A tired wave back. So much for keeping things on the downlow.]

Sure. No problem.
