Eighteenth Shooting Star - voice/action;

[risingwinds]

[He's been staring at his journal for a while, just trying to find the right words. It's... difficult, in part because he's so surprised and also due to sadness.

When Ven speaks into the journal, he tries to hide his disappointment; as a result, he sounds pretty strained.]

Hey, guys. Looks like it's December now, which means Christmas is right around the corner. I heard about a party over the journals, but does anyone else have something fun planned? If it's anything like last year, we'll probably get a ton of snow. A big snowball fight could be fun. Just an idea.

[He sighs. This isn't working...]

Terra's gone. After all this time, I didn't think he'd... [A beat.]

Does anyone wanna hang out? Or do something? I think I need a distraction right now.

[There, at least he's being honest. And with that, he'll probably check up on his housemates (especially Vanitas) and then head out into the village for a bit. He might be wandering a little aimlessly. He'll be just about everywhere before he returns back to the house.

Care to cheer him up? Or antagonize him? Anything goes!]

[What are bros for?]

Yeah? I mean--yeah! Let's do it. Want to build it by the school? The younger kids might get a kick out of that.

Good idea! I think it'd be a good way to lift everyone's spirits.

[And then Ven got the idea to build random snow things around the village. Silly derp.]

voice;

[dragoneer]

[Heck yes! Snow dragons are the most festive things of all.]

Exactly! How about...I meet you out there in half-an-hour?

voice;

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Works for me! I'll see you soon, Hiccup.

[And Ven will totally be there on schedule, dressed in appropriate winter attire. No need to get frostbite on his hands, after all!]

[dragoneer]

[Hiccup also shows up right on time, dressed for weather that's a little warmer by most people's standards. But pssh, he grew up on Berk in nothing but a tunic. This is nothing.]

Hey! Ven! Good to see you.

action;

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

[Well, Ven doesn't seem to mind, He'll just smile and wave, looking pretty excited despite the circumstances.]

You too, Hiccup!

[dragoneer]

I left Toothless back at the house. He...doesn't play well with snow. But that also means we don't have a model to work off of.

[He grins.] But I bet we can figure something out.

action;

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

We could always work from memory!

[He grins right back at him.]

Or just make up our own kinda dragon.

action;

[dragoneer]

Hey--that's a great idea! Alright. Let's build a completely new dragon.

[He starts gathering up snow.]

action;

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

It'll be the coolest dragon around.

[That's made outta snow. Toothless is a tough act to beat, after all. Ven's totally gonna help gather up snow, though. ...a lot of it, too.]

action;

[dragoneer]

[Hiccup nods.] Absolutely. So, we'll have to start with the legs, but we'll have to make them pretty thick if were going to to get them to hold the body up.

[He pauses thoughtfully.] Oooor it may be easier if we just build its belly against the ground.

action;

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Hmm.

[Both ways could work. Belly against the ground would be easier, but if they could get it to look just right, having it supported by legs would be pretty cool.

Ven places one hand to his chin, thinking this over.]

I think both ways could work pretty well. Guess it's just a matter of how much work we wanna put into this.

action;

[dragoneer]

Well? We could always try it with the legs, and if that doesn't work, just use the belly. After all, it's not like we've got a time limit or anything. We can make this as cool as we want.

action;

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Heck, we could do both! Who says we've gotta stick to one dragon?

[They could make a whole ton if they wanted to!]

action;

[dragoneer]

Exactly! We could make a whole dragon army. Toothless might get jealous, but he'll get over it when he realizes they can't even breathe fire.

action;

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Well, Toothless still gets bonus points for being a real dragon.

[Who can fly and do all kinds of cool stuff. What's not to like?]

action;

[dragoneer]

At least these dragons don't eat all the fish in the shop within ten seconds.

[And he sets to work on a snow dragon!]

action;

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Toothless must have a huge appetite.

[He laughs and starts working on his own snow dragon.]

action;

[dragoneer]

...Yeah, he does, really. He's not even that big of a dragon, compared to the others. But he eats more than any of the rest of them.

action;

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Maybe he uses up a lot of energy! Sometimes when you do a lot of exercise, you get hungry.

[It's just a thought. Now, let's see... this dragon's gonna be a big one. Hopefully.]

action;

[dragoneer]

I don't know. He's a pretty lazy dragon. [He laughs.] But he does eat even more when he's been out flying. We don't exactly have anatomy references where I come from, so I'm not even sure how big his stomach is or anything like that.

action;

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Well, maybe he just likes the taste.

[Ven shrugs, working on the legs of his snow dragon. Gotta make sure they're bulky enough to support the body.]

action;

[dragoneer]

He think he loves the taste. That's probably part of it, too. It's not the only thing he eats, but it's definitely his main diet.

[And Hiccup works on some legs, too, patting down the snow so it stays nice and tight.]

action;

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

At least there's plenty of fish to go around. Especially since it's all free.

[Hmm, okay. Once he gets some stable legs down, he'll start rolling up a big snowball to start the torso.]

action;

[dragoneer]

Definitely. Toothless would have made me go broke long ago if we actually had to pay for all those fish.
