Eleventh Flight. [glitched audio/brief video/action at Mahogany Inn.]

▒▒or Almighty... Where d▒▒ ▒▒is storm come from all of ▒ ▒udden...?

[That sure is a familiar voice to some people in Johto, even as distorted as it is...

The speaker pauses, unsure not only of the weather, but the strength of his network connection as well. After gathering a breath, he continues on with the reason he started this recording in the first place.]


Er, hey guys? H▒▒▒▒ang stole my leg and took off a ▒▒▒▒▒ ago.

[There's another pause as a loud crack of thunder rolls by, followed by a bout of static.]

▒ ▒▒▒▒ ▒▒▒ink anyone should be outside, but if you can keep an eye out for ▒ ▒▒owlithe carrying something that looks like a foot, I'd appre▒▒▒▒▒ it. I thought h▒▒ ▒ome back, since it's raining, but I hav▒▒▒ seen him...

[Hiccup's face appears briefly as the feed freaks out one last time, looking just as it had three weeks ago when he had vanished without a trace. There's concern there over his current predicament, but he doesn't seem to be aware of his time away from Johto.]

Thanks anyway... I'll be in my room here if anyone in Mahogany finds him.

[ooc note: HEY WHAT'S UP, I'M BACK! Tags might be slow yet for a little while! Also (maybe?) posted early because I don't know what I'll all be doing today.]

[Hey, Hiccup, speaking of thunder, have you ever heard the thundering footsteps and excited braying of a toddler Deino who just realized that after what seems like years and years of fruitless searching, she's suddenly found her warmthing?

Surprise. Incoming Beatle dragon is currently rebounding off of walls and other assorted hallway fixtures as she rushes down toward her goal. ETA: ten seconds. Assuming she doesn't run into another doorjamb.]
doitrockapella: (DISBELIEF ❖ that's as many as four tens)

[SO EXCITING. These relevant inquiries will have to wait a few minutes while Abbie excitedly nudges, nuzzles, and occasionally lightly headbutts Hiccup in her enthusiasm, because OH MY GOD OHMIGOD YOU GUYS THIS IS THE HAPPIEST DAY.

Shortly thereafter, it's Chief's turn to poke his head out to see what Abbie's getting up to, but rather than come down to intervene, he disappears again — and it soon becomes apparent why.]


...found her? Good. The last thing we need is to have her on the loose in a storm like—

[Because now it's Carmen's turn to make her appearance, and her attention quickly goes from the sight of her overenthusiastic dragon to the person she happens to be slobbering all over.]

...this...

[Oh, hi, son guy.]
doitrockapella: (FOND ❖ oh cute a penguin joke)

[personal profile] doitrockapella 2012-09-12 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well uh it just got a lot better, thanks, kiddo.

All things considered, it's not exactly rare to see Carmen smiling. But the one that crosses her face as the realization sinks in — slow at first, and then suddenly pleased and warm — is one that very few people manage to elicit. But of course, Hiccup's always been something of a special case.]


You're —

[But she cuts herself off, because true or not, stating the obvious (you're back) would just be kind of pathetic right now. So instead she'll settle with a more vague, but equally...well, almost relieved, actually: ]

There you are.

[As she proceeds down the hall to investigate this missing foot business, and also to get in position to give him a hand up if he needs it.]
doitrockapella: (DUH ❖ it's called a royale with cheese)

[personal profile] doitrockapella 2012-09-12 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yes, well, naturally. Dragons > girls. Even when that girl is Thief Mom.]

It is. Zack's having a bad time of it.

[BUT THAT IS HARDLY IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW. Because son guy. RIGHT HERE. Eeee.]

What happened to your leg?

[Meanwhile, Abbie is practically sitting on Hiccup in her attempt to garner ALL THE PETTING AND SNUGGLES.]

Hiccup! It's Kiki!

I'm glad you're back!!!!
doitrockapella: (GIRLISH ❖ the miss in misdemeanor)

[personal profile] doitrockapella 2012-09-13 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Carmen, being the awesome mom she is, will just take a minute to reach down and half-push, half-pry Abbie off of Hiccup before offering him a hand to help him to his feet. ...Foot.]

Hookfang? Your Growlithe — you have him back, too?
punchandkiss: (Hmmm?)

[personal profile] punchandkiss 2012-09-13 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
...Hiccup?

[People had said he might come back, but she hadn't really believed it, and...there he was. Back in Mahogany? What? She looks so confused.]

[He had heard that this guy (Hiccup was his name, right?) was gone. ...Not like he responded to the message when that girl posted it. He wouldn't know what to say to her anyway.

But here Hiccup was -- well, his voice anyway. Color him confused. But hey! This was a good thing!]


Can't understand a word you say, but it's good to hear you.
doitrockapella: (HATCH ❖ chronoskimmer gets us gone)

[personal profile] doitrockapella 2012-09-13 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Abbie is only moderately distraught about this, less because of the ungraceful push to her nose and more because she really wasn't done laving attention and joy all over her warmthing and it's always a bummer to be interrupted in the middle of your happydance. Fortunately, the Leavanny is likewise interesting, and she can content herself with curiously sniffing and nudging at that. For the moment.

Meanwhile, Carmen's sticking close, making sure Hiccup's got his balance and even then still kind of hovering a little to make sure he keeps it, half-considering just hauling him up and depositing him on Chief's back to make his mobility that much simpler.]


I can't imagine he went far, between the thunder and the rain. I can have Vicky go out after him if he doesn't show up soon.

[But she's considering what to do about the other part, too.]

You don't remember ever being gone.

Someone... stole your leg?

[That gets a raised eyebrow.]

[YESSSSSS, HEAD PATS. Best day ever. Leafything is now dubbed interesting, too, but obviously Warmthing will always be first in Abbie's affections.]

I don't know. We woke up one morning and you were just...gone. [A beat.] I'd have been impressed by the disappearing act, if I hadn't been too concerned to appreciate it.

[Oh, but okay, that wobbling just isn't going to do. With a brief whistle, Carmen waves Chief over and motions for him to turn his back to them once he arrives.]

Here. Let's make things a little easier on you until we can get that leg back.

[And, hooking her arms under Hiccup's in one swift motion, she hauls him up and deposits him neatly on Chief's back, who obligingly adjusts his tail to give him a better seat.]
