[closed] The first time I realized I was living in this world
Who: Newt Scamander and Hiccup Haddock
When: Mid-month
Where: Out in the wild.
What: Newt and Hiccup take their Wilders recruitment challenge.
Warnings: Crazy flora and possible battle against bird shades.
[It seemed like a no-brainer. The first time Hiccup heard about the Wilders, he knew that sounded like something he wanted to do, something he would be good at. He knows he's stuck here for the time being, at least until someone discovers how to reverse whatever happened with the mirrors to send the haphazard group back. He's a little anxious about being away from Berk (at least, at being away far enough he can't just fly back within a few days), but he has faith that Astrid will keep it together for him, with Gobber's help and his mother's help.
So, for now, he's trying out for the Wilders. He doesn't have a very good grasp on magic yet (even for the basics), but he knows he's got other talents - and some help, in the form of a Night Fury. When he hears that try-outs must be undertaken in pairs, contacting Newt seems like an obvious choice. They get along well, they both like creatures, they're both the studious type. He thinks it'll be a beneficial partnership.
One of the Wilders leads them out to an area thick with vegetation, all kinds of plants that Hiccup has never seen before in his life. He's trying to pay attention, of course, but he's also obviously fascinated by the flora, looking around with wide eyes, keeping one hand on Toothless so he doesn't wind up wandering off. The dragon is less intrigued, more disgruntled, occasionally sneezing or rubbing at his nose with his foreleg.
As the Wilder starts to give them their assignment, Hiccup whips out a little journal from his saddlebag and a stick of charcoal, writing down the plants they need to retrieve.] Okay, firelight flowers, orapples, and pickapeppers. Two of each.

These don't give off heat like the infected ones. The glow is intense, though, wow. [Toothless snorts, almost seeming to roll his eyes, and then he nudges Hiccup along. Apparently he agrees with Newt that they should move a little farther out for samples. Hiccup just laughs.] Okay, okay!
