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!?

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.

You aren't exactly what I expected a viking to look like.

*Obvious statement is obvious.*

But that's better, being what everyone expects is boring.

Home isn't exactly a warm place, but it isn't too bad. Here isn't any worse, at least not yet. And if I'm traveling Wildfyre will definitely come in handy, but...

I don't really want to think about Christmas. It's weird, and not in a good way because... it'll be my first Christmas without my dad. And my friends, and... *does not want to explain girlfriend to viking* other people.

[newberktown]

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.

Christmas is all about family and being together and... the people I really want to give Christmas gifts to aren't here.

That's the only thing about being here that really sucks. If I was doing a magical Pokemon Adventure, I'd want Eli and Fiona to be here. At least Fiona, even if all the camping and outdoors isn't her thing...

[newberktown]

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.

[for_realsies]

One of them, they... are more than just my friend.

And they couldn't spend Christmas with me. It would be super great if they could appear before then, and I could ride out and meet them for the day.

But if I think about it too much and hope... *She doesn't need to finish that line of thought.*
