Fifth Quirk - Video (Ecruteak City.)

Sooooooooooraaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

*Imogen is all ready to leave, she swapped out her previous traveling outfit for a new outfit from her computer. Her pack is on and her Pokeballs are in the pocket on her jacket. Her outfit is a bit warmer but still just as odd as usual, and her hat has holes in it for her two tails of hair. She's holding Zorua in her arms.*

Look look! I dunno what to name him yet, but he hatched!

And just in time to head out! Such a great bit of luck!

Isn't he cute!?
newberktown: (i can't believe that worked)

[Meanwhile, this guy is dressed how he pretty much always is. And doesn't seem to be bothered by weather getting colder.]

It's definitely easier when they hatch before you travel, especially if you have more than one egg on you. [Which he tended to, when he went through Egg Phases...] That's a Zorua, right?
newberktown: (are you okay back there)

[personal profile] newberktown 2012-12-07 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
If you have time later, you should really spend more time there. [He likes Ecruteak.] The museum's great.

[Hmmn... Hiccup wasn't the best at names, and he spent a lot of time with two people who were frequently criticized for the names they'd given their pokemon. Not the greatest guy if you wanted suggestions, really.]

Uh, sure, I guess. From what I've seen, a lot of Zorua like to play jokes on people by using their illusions, and they're pretty smart. My friend Carmen named hers Sly. I don't know if that helps you any, though...
newberktown: (derp)

[personal profile] newberktown 2012-12-07 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's got a few good guesses, but might as well ask...] What kind of pokemon is Wildfyre?

Who knows? You might get the odd well-behaved Zorua. All pokemon are different.
newberktown: (and i made a dork of myself again)

[personal profile] newberktown 2012-12-07 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah. [Yep, that was one of his guesses.] Unless you're a smaller person, you might have to wait until she evolves to ride on her. Or if she's a bigger Ponyta.

[Not like Albert's, which was only a foot tall.]

But I'm sure you won't have too many problems. People learn how to ride giant birds and dragons all the time, here.

Letting it choose for itself might end up being for the best. One of my pokemon didn't like the name I picked out for her, so she named herself instead.
newberktown: (doof)

[personal profile] newberktown 2012-12-08 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
True. But even they have their limits.

[He's not...following, if that blank look is anything to go by.]

No, she picked Eve. You must have her confused with some other pokemon.
newberktown: (eheh...)

[personal profile] newberktown 2012-12-09 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! Yeah, that...makes sense, too. [Have a sheepish grin.] I'm Hiccup Haddock. Nice to meet you.
newberktown: (i actually built this dragon)

[personal profile] newberktown 2012-12-09 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
It does seem like a long way away--but it all depends on how you train them, I guess. My friend Astrid is much more focused on training than I am, so even though she came here long after I did, some of her pokemon are stronger.
newberktown: (sooooo...)

[personal profile] newberktown 2012-12-09 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
You've met her, then, I see. She does that whole 'viking' thing better than I ever could.

[Dragons were all him, though.]

Some of my pokemon are like that, too--but since I'm not much of a fighter myself, I get it. You learn to work with what you've got, for battles.

[And usually, then ended up being more than enough.]

No, I was assigned to be a trainer. Didn't stop my pokemon from trying to say otherwise, though...
newberktown: (trying to explain)

[personal profile] newberktown 2012-12-10 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
It's...a side effect of our upbringing. The people of Berk don't have enough creativity to fill a bottle.

[Even Hiccup, with all his innovations, could only come up with the name 'Toothless' when faced with a dragon seemingly without teeth.]

I guess, but that doesn't mean you have to. You could focus on travel, or working. A lot of people settle down and get houses. [Shrug.] I'm staying at one of my friend's houses right now.

[...Man, calling Albert a friend was weird.]
newberktown: (derp)

[personal profile] newberktown 2012-12-10 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
The dragons made things exciting, at least.

I'm usually traveling around, too--we came here for Thanksgiving and it looks like we'll spend Christmas here, too. We'll probably get back to flying around, then, unless Albert needs me to make more things for him.

[He's helping with science. c=]
newberktown: (uhh)

[personal profile] newberktown 2012-12-10 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
For most vikings? There's fighting, drinking contests, going out to get food before Devastating Winter rolls around--and when that's done, there's preparing for Thawfest.

For me, there's building things. But I'm generally dealing with the dragons anyway.

[The kept busy, even if a lot of it was for survival or just showing off brute strength. Life as a noodleviking was hard.]

It...gets pretty cold, here. Astrid and I are used to it, but that's because the weather on Berk is miserable 97% of the time. It's easier with fire pokemon around, though, so Wildfyre will come in handy.

And hey, maybe you can consider this your Christmas in July.
newberktown: (so you see)

[personal profile] newberktown 2012-12-10 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I...get that a lot.

[Oh, he can understand that sentiment.]

Last year here was my first Snoggletog without my dad or the other members of the tribe--that's our winter holiday, back home. Even though Toothless was here back then, it wasn't the same. He'd never celebrated Snoggletog, and other than massive amounts of snow, there wasn't really anything here to make it seem like how it was back home.

It wasn't the worst Snoggletog ever, but...it was pretty close.
newberktown: (jeez this is not fair)

[personal profile] newberktown 2012-12-10 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... It's definitely rough. It does get a little easier, if you make your own family here, but it's not quite the same. You just have to wait and hope that maybe they'll come here, too.

-- eh, you might want to keep an eye on that thing. They like messing with you.

[Squint. HE KNOWS OF ZORUAS.]

[Okay, he's following, and ... wait, that last part was a verbal nudge, wasn't it. Have a raised eyebrow in response to that, girl.]

Aha. Buuut if you're right about that, then...?
greatbigrock: (not impressed)

Then if you're wrong that's your loss, isn't it, missy?

Look. All I'm saying is that it's better to have an idea of what's going on before you do anything.
greatbigrock: (HAHA don't think so)

[He notices that with some amusement. He's not out to hit on her, though - not that she'll necessarily know.]

Didn't you just assume I was mean?

[trollface?? Also, hands in the air in the classic "hey, whatever" gesture.]

Alright, whatever you say. Let me know how that goes.
