nekky!
when: Late Jan. through Feb.
where: Around Riverview
warnings: None so far.
[i. Beetles Attack]
[Giant beetles. Sure, no problem, why not. They're on a rampage toward the city, and that's dangerous, but nothing that can't be handled, right? Unlike others, though, Hiccup is not keen on resorting to lethal methods. They're creatures looking out for their own survival, just like anything. Even dangerous dragons back home could be relocated, rehomed, settled somewhere to live in their natural environment.
Hiccup is up in the air on Toothless, trying to steer one of the beetles off-course. The dragon's huge wings flap in the beetle's face area, and he darts away with impressive agility before he can be caught in snapping pincers. From there, Toothless fires off a few blasts of purple fire, leaving smoking spots on the ground, trying to deter it. Sure enough, the beetle does turn somewhat to the left. A success.
Until it suddenly rears back, and catches dragon and rider by surprise. Toothless roars in alarm and Hiccup shouts as the horn rakes across the night fury's body and tears off the prosthetic tail fin, sending them both veering toward the ground.] No, no, no-!
[ii. Even Action Heroes Go to School]
[It's a little sunnier today, slightly warmer than it's been, but the cold has never bothered Hiccup much. It's winter 9 months of the year on Berk, after all - he's used to it. He's found a nice patch of grass in a courtyard area just outside the communal housing building; being cooped up at his desk was not resulting in work being done.
Toothless is curled on the grass, dozing pleasantly in a sunbeam, and Hiccup has fitted himself into the C of the reptile's sleeping body, leaning against one tucked-in wing, looking much more casual today. He's adopted some of the local style, wearing jeans with one of the legs rolled up so as not to get caught in the metal workings of his prosthetic, a sage green hoodie, and a thrift-store sneaker.
There are books and papers spread out all around him - remedial biology, basic engineering, catch-up math, beginner chemistry, and some spiral notebooks that seem to be filled with sketches and notes.] Imaginary numbers... Are we sure they didn't make this stuff up? [He muses to Toothless, who just mrrs in response without opening his eyes.
And then the wind blows one of his papers out of his hand, and he gets up to scramble after it. Maybe help him catch it?] No no no, hey, wait, I need that!
[iii. Dragon Ate My Homework]
[You can't take a dragon to class, not even at university. So, when Hiccup attends, he has to leave Toothless on his own for a few hours. Of course, the dragon is quite smart, and capable of meeting his rider at a certain time of day, so in the mean time, he wanders. On the ground, one might notice, never quite taking to the air when he's alone.
Maybe you find him pouncing on beams of light outside the communal housing building, or possibly he's downtown, sitting back on his haunches and intently watching a fish vendor, tongue flicking out a few times with interest. Hiccup will come to find him at some point, but for now, Toothless is having his own day out on the town.]

He's... not really like a dog. Or a horse. It's a lot harder to take care of a dragon than either of those animals. [Dogs and horses don't breathe fire. Fortunately.]
It is fun, actually! I've learned a lot of cool stuff.

Right. [She looks over towards the dock and it looks like there is more shouting.]
If you want to keep talking we should walk. It looks like things haven't calmed down and I was looking to get something... not fish- [She points at toothless.] -to eat.
You're welcome to tag along if you want.

[Toothless might be an accessory to theft. Luckily, no one will find out about it since he's such a cute dragon.]
no subject
With raised eyebrows, he looks to Toothless for an answer, but the dragon just cocks his head to the side.]
Well, I should. Probably go, you know, pay for the fish he ate. [Squint.] Honestly, Toothless, you know better.

I'll see you around.
