[SIREN'S PULL] IC CONTACT

[[Yes. There's a picture of a rock here. Smooth, contoured, big enough to fit in the palm of a scrawny teenager's hand. Not that anyone else would see this on their end, anyway.]]

"Uuuh...okay. I'm still talking to a rock. Yup! Because I must be crazy..." [An awkward laugh easily becomes a pathetic sigh.] "This is stupid. How does this even- " [*DOOT*]

Hey, Hiccup? Are you there?

How did that evenYEAH I'm here! Hi! Astrid. Wh-what was important that needed to be told, like, right now?

You're never going to guess. _{[And then she pauses for dramatic effect, cheeks puffed out as she holds her breath. Of course, that doesn't last for long and she ends up blurting it out.]}

-I got a job!

You- oh.

[Well, there goes the chance at guessing. But he is surprised. His voice sort of holds that tone with the usual.]

Oh! Hey, that's- that's good! Great, even!

Isn't it? I went in for my interview today and was hired immediately. The man in charge said I'd be perfect, being a Viking and all. Makes sense though that he'd want a real Viking as a focal point for entertainment, considering it's a Viking restaurant and all.

Best part? I get to fight with my axe. Isn't that awesome?

Really? Wow. That actually went pretty fast-

-Hold on, you're working at the Viking restaurant???

Yeah! Well, I will be soon. In a day or two.

Why?

Why? Because...Iii think I heard about it! Yeah. I'm sure there was a...news thing a while back talking about that restaurant, anyway.

[Because he never specified that's where he was washing dishes.]

There was. That's where I heard about it. Figured I'd be perfect for it and what do you know?

Now I can finally help make money for us.

Yeah, you really do fit the requirements.

[Don't mind the wistful Hiccup-ness of that sentence. He does perk up.]

Hey. The more saved, the better.

I know. I am the most Viking out of the Hairy Hooligans, after all.

It might take a little bit, but I was thinking that if we save up enough and we're smart about it, we can get our own apartment eventually. That way I don't keep ruining Snow's...

It's a nice thought. I mean, it'll take a while, sure, but. Yeah. An apartment would be good.

Well, it's not like Snow said anything about the damages lately, right? They weren't that bad...

It would be good. I think our parents would be proud too, that we'd be able to support ourselves. But, we're not there yet. We will be though, just not yet.

...I drenched the entire bathroom. The only reason other disasters haven't happened yet is because you've stuck signs everywhere telling me not to touch this or that. _{[Which were pretty annoying if she were going to be honest.]}

Well, okay, so there was that. I-it was easy to clean up, though! And I was taking some precautions just in case, you know?

The whole kitchen is yellow thanks to your signs.

Someone's going to have to teach me how to use the things in there eventually.

That was the only color that was available at the time.

And don't worry, we'll. We'll get to that.

Promise?

Promise.

Well...good then.

Yeah.

Um. I'll see you later, okay?

Of course. Maybe we can do something later.

Okay. Sure.

I was thinking we could go down to the shoreline. I've never really been there yet. I'll beat you at skipping stones too.

Really? Well, since the weather's slowly getting better, it'd be a good time to go there. And, yeah, you probably would.
