[Closed] Hello Roommates.

[toothpicc]

Date & Time: Day or two after the bombs end. (When Hiccup arrives in Exsilium)
Location: Room 703
Characters: Hiccup, Saber, and Meenah (Roommates of 703)
Summary: Hi, nice to meet you. Nice. Troll-esque figure. No. That's not a dragon behind me. It's um, an elaborate floor lamp? Elaborate floor lamp.
Warnings: Noooooooope.



[The idea was that Toothless wait outside, behind a rock and out of site, while Hiccup went in the apartment building to investigate. And everything seemed to be going just swell.]

Hello? Anybody here? Anyone at all? I was told that...um, yep. No one's here.

[Or so he thinks. He'll walk around the apartment a bit more and try to find a window facing to where Toothless is hiding. Just to check on him. When he peeks out, however, Toothless takes it more as an invite than a simple hello. He'll be yelling out the window in a harsh whisper,]

No no no no no. No. No. What are you doing? Stay there. Stay down there. If anyone sees you - Don't come u- you're climbing up anyways. Oh Gods. Um.... uh...

[Well this could be a problem.]

What is climbing up?

[ There's a gust of wind behind him (even with the door shut) and a young woman who couldn't be older than fifteen appears there suddenly. Her hand is clenched tightly, almost as though she was holding onto a weapon, but there's nothing to be seen. ]

Stand back, I will be able to take care of it. [ Not openly hostile, but there is concern on her voice. ]

[tyrians]

[ and then the door slams open, with a grey-skinned teenage troll girl speaking up, looking around with her white-out eyes ]

This is the hive I'm supposed ta be stayin' in? Talk about a shithole. Don't got no gold or nofi --

[ she cuts herself off when she sees the two and then the dragon at the window ]

Aight. Okay. I don't wanna min-know.

[toothpicc]

Oh, no. Ah, um... everything's fine. Just... [He'll slam the window shut with some effort before Toothless can get a chance to climb inside. So he'll just glare and scratch at the glass from the other side, he looks like he's ready to jump through it though.]

I didn't know anyone was, um. Home. Sorry I guess I'm in the wrong place. So I'll just uh... head out now. [He'll start sliding to the door and waving at Toothless to duck down when the two are looking in the other direction, if they are. Otherwise he'll be trying to act innocent and failing miserably.]

[ex_cashcow493]

Are you certain?

[ Saber's guard lowers significantly once the window is shut as the wind leaves the area. With her hand free now, she clasps both of them in front of her as she relaxes. ]

I have not met any of the others who reside in this place. [ Calmly spoken. ] We should figure out the living arrangements if so.

[ Quickly adding: ] Is there any way to verify the information?

[tyrians]

[ Meenah glances between the two before shrugging and walking past them, shoving the boy to the side and when she passes him, standing in front of the window and tapping her trident against the glass.

finally, she turns: ]

'Ey, dork. This your dragon, right? If it ain't, we should probubbly krill the dragon beshore it tries to get us.

[toothpicc]

[Toothless will give a growl from outside. It's just making Hiccup more nervous. He'll actually run and put himself between the window and Meenah if he can.]

Wait I can explain-!! I mean. Yes! He's a friend. He won't hurt you. Just don't hurt him- He's- I was- [And then some gears turn.] Wait. Uuuuhh... [He'll breathe for a second, because he forgot to before.] You mean you don't care if he's- [He'll gesture from the window to the room they're all standing in but the word "here" doesn't seem to be making it out of his mouth. Instead all that he manages is a weak "aaah".]

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Glancing between the two, Saber's hesitation becomes clear with the lack of commentary. Dragons weren't a good thing from where she hails from and if one were to show up in Camelot, why, she would have slain it on the spot. Bringing a hand to rub the side of her head, she considers this place and the strange things she's encountered thus far. ]

Is it a pet of this land or from somewhere else? [ A strange question to ask, but at least she's talking finally. ] Will it's kin seek it out?

[tyrians]

Why would we care?

[ a beat. she doesn't really get it ]

I mean, if it ain't gonna kill us, that's fuckin' borin' and who's gonna give a flyin' dolphin flip aboat it? [ she doesn't move when hiccup runs between her and the window, but points her trident threateningly at him now ]

Woulda been fun to krill it.

[toothpicc]

Kin... well, no. I mean, I haven't seen any other dragons here. Then again it's not like you can see everything in this place in just a couple hours. Um, but he's from home. Well, my home, Berk. I guess they just brought him here with me. They're not exactly fond of dragons back home so I just thought you guys probably wouldn't care for them much either! Surprise, I guess.

[With a short shrug he'll rub the back of his neck. Now he just feels silly about his little panic attack just then. And... he should probably do something about Toothless just hanging on the outside wall.]

If it's all right, I'll let him inside but, no weapons. Really. Maybe... put them in another room or something. I know that sounds crazy, but you'll have to trust me.

[ex_cashcow493]

If he will not cause problems, then he can remain.

[ Wary, she finds no reason to deny her roommate. He had as every right as herself to have who he chose to have in his room. ]

If he came from home alongside you, then he has every right to be here. Although if he does strike to maim anyone in this room, whether it be a guest or not, I will stand up against him.

[ Saber doesn't sound as though she'd harm him, but if it came down to it, she might. Protecting the lives of others came first and foremost to her. ]

In your world they are not fond of them? Why is that?

[tyrians]

Ugh. Boooored.

[ Meenah steps back and walks away, her trident resting on her shoulders now ]

Just bring it in, loser, before I change my mind on guttin' it. This is my favor to you.

[toothpicc]

[How to explain that one... he'll start inching to the window. He'll state very flatly,]

Well, they... burn our houses and steal our food. But! But, there's good reason for that and I can explain that too, it's not as bad as it sounds. Or there are reasons for it... Let me just let him in first. [He'll turn to the window, but then turn back around.]

Oh, and. Thanks. Even just letting him inside, that's not exactly something I can do back home so, I appreciate it. He will too! Really just... [Right the window. So he'll open it and up pops Toothless' black head and beady eyes. He looks annoyed, though whether it's at the others in the room or Hiccup for keeping him waiting for so long is unclear. He'll crawl in through the window with some trouble since he obviously doesn't exactly fit through it so well. Hiccup will try to make... more calming gestures, but otherwise the dragon is staying up against the wall. Still unamused.]

Okay so! Um. This is Toothless. Toothless, this is... [Oh, names. They forgot about that.] Our neighbors. Be nice. Please.

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Instantly guarded, Saber eyes the beast with widened eyes. She's not afraid of this Toothless, especially when the name sinks in. ]

A dragon without teeth? [ Yes, that's the first thing to comment on. ] Surely it is harmless.

[tyrians]

[ meenah's eyeing the dragon, clutching her trident and baring her teeth. she doesn't say anything but she's clearly debating something. ]

[toothpicc]

Ah well... something like that. But I wouldn't exactly say harmless.

[Toothless so doesn't appreciate that Meenah. He'll crouch low and give a deep growl. Barring his own set of teeth. Hiccup will move in front.]

Hey, hey whoa. Okay. Um. When I meant no weapons I really. Meant. No weapons. Please. He just doesn't like them and... he'll be fine just please don't let him see the ... trident thing. [Oh please don't let this get out of hand...]
