Ninth Quirk - Video/Action (Violet City)

Coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!

*Barring questions on how Imogen has that much breath, the girl seems to be in awe over her new hatchling. A sparkly looking golden Vulpix. Currently Imogen's hair is in a pair of handlebar looking things sticking out of the side of her head. She also has an Eevee perched on her shoulder, her hatchling from earlier in the week. And of course Brenn the Squirtle who was watching as the new Vulpix set some drapery on fire.*

Not cool not cool not cool! Brenn!

*Squirtle jumped into action taking the fire out with a few simple water guns.*

No, Nove, no! We have talked about this. Fire pretty OUTSIDE. We are INSIDE. Stop that!

*Nove the shiny Vulpix did not seem phased by this reprimand.*

Alright, so I got a bunch of little hatchlings, but I seem to do pretty well getting them to behave with only a week of training. ...Barring Aglon, but she's unique, being a large dinosaur. She's stopped trying to eat Whiskey and Tailypo!

[That's okay. If he can roll with Gordon mishearing him, he can roll with Imogen's thought processes.]

Not too bad. Problem would be finding another viking who knows what prominence means.

It should be an easy word to teach, it's very ego-friendly.

I think you're overestimating the average viking's intelligence level here.

Well, I can only judge by the two I've met, and they both seem pretty smart.

If one isn't that creative with Pokemon names.

[Heeee.]

The two you've met are both pretty exceptional, I will admit. But it doesn't change the fact that only a handful of vikings could tell you that four plus four equals eight.

That must be kinda unfun.

I mean, you're smart and a lot on the scrawny side, so you probably don't really fit in with the others do you?

*Imogen knows what being an outcast is like.*

Well... Yeah, I guess. I mean, it's a little better, now, since I fixed the thing with the dragons.

[He shrugs.]

Astrid's great with an axe, though, so she fit in well, and the other smart kid our age--Fishlegs--at least looked like a viking. But they're all my friends now, even if Snotlout and the twins aren't exactly the perfect example of 'friendship'.

That's good, that it's better and you have friends.

*Oh no, Imogen had a thought.*

Did you notice that Astrid's name is the only name there that is normal? Well, I guess the other names are normal viking names, then that means Astrid's name makes no sense.

Hiccup, Fishlegs, Snotloud, not exactly the same feeling as Astrid.

I, uh... No, I never noticed? It doesn't seem weird at all to me--I mean, some of us have traditional names and some of us have descriptive names. Hiccup is both of those. I think it suits her, though?

[He's really used to having Astrid around, so... Her name is normal, to him.]

Well, where I'm from Astra means of the sky or heavens or stars. One of those. I would guess the words were related if you weren't from a different world from me.

So you think about how much her name suits her? *Innocent question is not nearly as innocent as it appears to be.*

Huh. That's pretty interesting.

[Heck yeah he's thought about how it suits her, it's pretty and she's pretty WHAT ABOUT IT.]

I guess? I don't know. [Is he pretending to not notice the implication, or is he just dense? Hard to tell with this kid.] Don't you think it does, too?

I dunno, I mean I've met her once so I didn't really think about it.

It's only interesting with more names to compare it with.

Is...that your way of asking me to tell you more names?

Well... *Imogen let the idea sit in her head.*

It wasn't, but if you wanna tell me more about your home, and the vikings, and the dragons, I wouldn't be opposed!
