First Flight [Action]

[trainsurdragons]

[There's a console that's been plugged in for quite a while, about five down from Pac-Man, still looking as new as it was when it first was plugged in. Well, save for a few nicks here and there.

Actually, the game titled Riders of Berk will be turning one year old in a few weeks, but it's main character has chosen to keep that to himself, for now. Not like anybody would say a whole lot about it, really. At least the gamers find a combination racing/fighting game with dragons a pretty neat deal.

But as long as the game has been plugged in, not many have seen nor spoken to Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III all that much. Maybe that's because he just never visited GCS too much? It's unsure why- perhaps he just felt more comfortable in the console, never having to worry about getting stuck for some reason and not being back in the game before opening.

...Actually that's probably the reason. The viking doesn't have the best luck sometimes.

But today? Today he's finally ventured into the thick of the central hub of the arcade, walking slowly as he looks around at the other characters passing by. He's the hero of his game, so he doesn't have to worry about people running from him since he's 'a bad guy', but that doesn't mean he feels any more included. Actually, he feels like he's sticking out like a sore thumb here. Just this- spindly teenager with barely any meat on his bones, walking with a slow gait, with a soft clicking sound following every other step. That's what you get for having a bit of a tragic backstory- the programmers decide to chop your leg off.

This might not be Hiccup's first time here, but it might as well be.]

[It's kind of hard to be inconspicious when you practically sparkle. Sometimes Tooth wished her programmers hadn't given her such a vivacious colors. So many people were interested in her being a newcomer and all... but the poor girl just wanted to be left alone!

Hiding among the crowd was working so far. "Hey!" someone shouted as she jumped over them. There were several other disgruntled noises that followed, getting closer and closer to the brunette boy. Then, suddenly, Hiccup would feel a pair of hands on his shoulders from behind as Tooth positioned herself to hide behind him. Personal space? What's that?]

Shhhh. Let me hide here for a second.

[...You poor kid! You may have noticed this man in the background of your game... one or twice? He tends to wander. But even if you had, he'd never seen you!

Have the blond-haired, goggled Laguna suddenly there, his lion-like Moomba companion next to him. Laguna could hear that clacking and clicking.]
H-hey! You okay there, kid?
