First Flight. [video/action for new bark town.]

[For anyone browsing the network, they might notice a gangly, brown-haired teen flashing in and out of video. Technology this advanced might be foreign to Hiccup, but he's always been pretty good at working things out and soon enough he seems satisfied enough to keep it on video.

And is he wearing a dorky cape over his usual clothes? He is totally wearing a dorky cape.]

Uhh...

[Uncertain!]

Hello? I must be crazy... Uhmn, if anyone's listening, I could use a little help?

[A more thoughtful look as he goes back to fiddling with the device. A frown follows.]

New Bark Town? Hmn, I guess these guys don't know how to spell Berk... Why can't vikings see grammar is important, too?

[Hiccups gives the feed A Look before shutting it off.]

No... [Staring at you, Junpei. Teach him the ways of a modern teenager!]

They're like....you know. [ Sigh. Actually, this is pretty hard to explain. Time to try a different tactic. ]

Do you know what games in general are, at least? It's like those, except...virtual. Like, handheld, or on your TV screen or something.

[ Pantomiming playing a handheld game, in the slim hope it will help. ]

[Nope, continuing to stare. He can't imagine any of the games he knows being played on something you hold. Terrible Terror Tag? Catch the Gronckle? Axe throwing? Hiccup begins to frown.]

What's a TV screen?

[Yep, good luck with this kid.]

It's....the big monitor. You watch shows and movies on it? You can play games with it, too. Kind of.

[ ....This is hopeless, isn't it. ]

[Judging by the utterly lost look he is giving the gear? Yep.]

.....Yeah, okay, nevermind. Do you even have electricity where you come from?

[ He has reached the conclusion that you must be Amish or something. Only logical explanation. ]

[Honestly, Junpei. This kid's vest is made of thick, genuine fur. And check out those boots.]

Uhhh... [Staaaaaare. Then Hiccup slowly shakes his head.] I guess not? [But look! He refrains from asking what it is.]

[ ...Well, he's never met one before, and all he knows is that they live sans technology....they might hunt animals for clothing, why not? ]

Then I guess it makes sense that you've never heard of TVs or video games. Without electricity, not of that stuff would work.

Must get pretty boring, though. I mean, what do you do?

[...And yet he can survive the Nonary game.

But Hiccup loses the blank look after his lack of knowledge is explained away. At the question, he shrugs.]

Oh, you know. Build things. Accidentally destroy stuff. Ride dragons. Draw.

[ Yep. To be fair, though, Vikings have been gone for a very long time.... ]

...Dragons. Is that what you call bikes or something? [ Because dragons definitely aren't real, nope. ]

[Says you. =c]

Uh, no? [Back to the confused face. Oh boy.] Dragons are these creatures... Most of them can breath fire and fly, but they're all pretty unique. What's a bike?

[ And history. ]

Please tell me you're kidding or something. I mean, everyone knows that mythological dragons are, well, imaginary. [ Oh no not one more kick in the balls to science. ]

And uh...a bike's something you use to get around. It has two wheels and lets you go faster than just walking.

[B-but... VIKINGS ARE A REALITY FOR HICCUP.

And hey, that bike thing actually sounds pretty reasonable. Hiccup could probably make one...]

I'm...pretty sure they're real. They've been raiding Berk since before I was born. And I've just been to their nest.

[ JUNPEI REJECTS YOUR REALITY AND SUBSTITUTES HIS OWN. ]

Do you have any proof? [ Because otherwise this argument could drag on for a while.... ]

I mean, I've seen some weird stuff, but that's....pushing it.

[HAR HAR.]

Proof?

[Hmmmn, proof... Hiccup sets down the gear so he can dig around in his bag more and check his person. He returns in a minute.]

Uhmn. No. I guess I don't.
