newberktown | Sixth Flight. [video/action for otherhome.]

[Adder had never got to really play with a pokegear before. When her old trainer hadn't been ooh-ing and ahh-ing over it, he had just been plain territorial. Hiccup had also been fascinated by the device, but after seeing the blue dragon eying it from afar, he had handed it over. Plenty of pokemon seemed to use the things, anyway.

So there the Bagon was, carefully pushing buttons and flipping it over in her little hands until the video function turns on and she starts exploring. Time to show everyone their new home!

Anyone who's been to the Other House should recognize it during Adder's (admittedly clumsy) tour. Just as it starts to get mind-numbingly boring... What's this?

Adder turns to show an oddly-angled view of Hiccup being dragged away by a Dratini by the neck.]

Midg--ack! I need that to breathe!

[...Well that was weird. The Bagon plods along after them.]

What are you-- ...Oh. Fish...

[The Magikarp is laying in the garden and looking very...still. Midgardsormr croons sadly as the viking kneels down to investigate.

His concern is rewarded by Fish suddenly flipping upwards and slapping him in the face. Before trying to...flop away.]

Ow! Fish, hey! Get back here!

Trouble in paradise? [ She doesn't sound sympathetic. Instead, she just observes passively. She'll offer tips if she needs to because, hey, the dragon guy was nice at least. And she could always use more pawns since her homcunbros keep on going home. ]

[Disembodied voices? ...Oh, the gear. Thank you so much for recording that, Adder.]

Not too much... I probably just startled him, is all.

You mean he somehow did not notice you until now? [ How? To Lust, Hiccup wasn't exactly a subtle person.

I don't think he expected to get bothered... Plus he would get startled by a leaf blowing by. Fish is like that.

You know, if he's like this now, it's only going to get more intense when he involves. [ Gyarados's reaction to being startled is to set fire to the rain and everything else. ]

[Oh... He'd heard about evolution, and had seen how it changes pokemon.]

I...hadn't thought of that.

[Blehhh.]

Looks like I'll have to just rehabilitate him faster... Do you know when he'll evolve?

From what I've heard, he evolves at level twenty. Have you ever thought about seeing a pokemon nurse for this? [ She wishes you luck, Hiccup. She senses that it'll be a very uphill battle. ]

[Level twenty... So Hiccup was about halfway there.]

Not...really. I thought they might make me explain why he's like this, and I don't know if they'd really understand that his previous trainer wasn't human...

I've mostly just been trying to get him to play with my other water types?

While they aren't aware of the new visitors, they are aware that other life forms have become pokemon trainers previously. Perhaps you should ask the network. I know some people that could double as pokemon psychiatrists.

[ She nods and smiles. ]

That's good. But, he'd be best to see a professional.

Alright, I'll keep that in mind... Thanks for all your help. Really.

It's no problem. You're worth the effort. [ Although she means this in a slightly different way... ]

[...Wait, what? Hiccup may be feeling a bit dumbfounded by her words, but the tips of his ears are turning a warm pink at them.]

Dwuh?

[Very eloquent, good sir. He clears his throat, because uhmn duh, that's not how she means it.]

I mean, uhmn. How so?

You seem like a nice kid with tons of potential. [ Thank god she's not pinocchio right now. She can't just say he seems like a decent human to use and trick! ] Your ability to look after your pokemon should make you a really strong trainer. [ After this conversation, Lust is going to brush her teeth with a bottle of jack. Maybe it might get the taste of lying out of it. ]

[Well, even if it's a lie it sure is giving Hiccup's self-image a boost. He still wasn't used to this whole receiving compliments thing.]

Thanks! I mean, I know I still have a long way to go, but... I have been trying hard.

[ Lust is going at ego boosting. It's one of her hobbies. Deflating them is the other hobby. ]

I wouldn't say it's that long. It'll be over before you know it.

[ She's close enough to Goldenrod by now, just a few hours away, but... what...? ]

... Are... you okay?

[He sighs, then takes the offered gear from Adder.]

Yeah... It's not like it hurt that much... More surprised me, than anything.

Well, at least that means they don't do it often, if it's still surprising. Right? Is Fish usually the prankster type? Or maybe upset about something? [ Because if it's the second then DANGER DANGER. ]

...I don't think he's a prankster. He more or less just kind of freaks out about things. Probably from my friend trying to eat him.

[Yep.]

[ Oh... Cringe. ] He's not... holding a grudge about that, right?

...I don't think so?

[Eying the flailing Magikarp. It was so much easier to read dragons than fish...]

Plus, no one tries to eat him anymore. So maybe he'll calm down, eventually.

[Luckily for Hiccup she got most of her laughing done before she hit the response button. Most of it. She's still sniggering a little when the video starts.]

You okay there, dude?

[His pride thanks you for that, Marceline.]

Yeah, I'm fine...

[Just kind of...watching Fish flail.]

Looks like he's trying to learn some tricks there, huh?

Does it?

[Hiccup rubs at his reddening cheek, glancing up from the fish to the gear.]

I always thought he was just freaking out.
