[OPEN] there is a fire that we breathe
Who: Hiccup Haddock & You
When: Latter half of May
Where: Around the city, out past the wall
What: Rich jerks, odd jobs, magic studies, and contemplation, oh my.
Warnings: None atm.
[i. The Housing Dilemma]
[Hiccup isn't terribly surprised when the Coven decides it's time to find the newcomers a more... permanent housing solution. (Permanent meaning long-term temporary, he's hoping, but semantics.) He wasn't expecting them all to be led to a very wealthy-seeming district full of big and fancy houses, though. It seems a little much. A lot much, maybe.
If he's honest, he doesn't want to stay out here to begin with, but that decision feels more right when he and Toothless, on a stroll through the Haven just taking in the scenery on their way to check out the shopping district again, run into a group of wealthy-looking young men wearing angry scowls and carrying palms full of blue flames.
They're clearly not happy at all, jeering to each other.]
Look, boys, it's one of the charity cases we've gotten kicked out of our homes to house.
Is that a dragon? 'Ere, there could be a dragon stomping around your house, mate.
Just wait til it gets infected and goes on a rampage.
[Toothless is crouching now, growling, teeth bared, and Hiccup foresees this going very badly. He settles a hand on his dragon's side and reaches for Infero with the other.] You- I'm sorry you all got pushed out of your homes. I'm not staying here, I don't agree with it either-
Dragons like fire, right? Let's give them both a taste of it, boys.
Come on, we can resolve this peacefully-
[He could use some help.]
[ii. Looking For Work]
[Luckily, his housing situation resolves itself when he agrees to help Keith build up his new place out in the woods, past the wall. They can do some good out there, and Hiccup knows they'll be happier away from the Haven and the Aristocratic District. The only con about having to build almost from the ground up is, they have very little money for whatever materials they can't buy. Hiccup knows he needs to find work and hopefully a forge he can use in the off-hours.
So, he leaves Toothless out at the shack, and ventures into the city on his own to check out the shopping district. While he's looking for a place to work, he can't help but window-shop as well, stopping outside different stores selling jewelry, weapons, and anything mechanical to study the wares in the windows, mentally assessing if he has the skills to produce those sorts of items.] I wonder if anyone will even hire me...
[iii. The Library]
[With everything else going on in his life as well, Hiccup doesn't shy away from attending magic classes at the Coven. If he's got it, he wants to know how to use it - and the more he studies and learns, the more he realizes can be done with it. This viking has big ideas and not a lot of magical skill. He's easy to find in the Library, on his own, browsing the stacks and mumbling to himself,] Let's see, Conjuring? Maybe. Household Enchantments Made Easy, oh that one sounds useful. [He plucks a book from the shelf and moves on, lost in his own little world.
Maybe he's reaching for the same book as you?]
[iv. Atop the Bright Wall]
[Opalescent and lit up in the night, the Bright Wall is an imposing - and impressive - structure. It's still not much of a barrier to a dragonrider. Some nights they can be found sitting up on top of the wall, Toothless a dark shadow against the double moons in the sky, Hiccup letting his feet dangle precariously over the edge as if he's utterly unafraid of the killer drop. Sometimes he just likes to feel the wind in his hair and think.]
[v. The Harbor and The Slums]
a. [In the Harbor District, Hiccup can be found at the docks, tying a net out of a length of rope. Toothless is crouched down at his side, peering at the surface of the water curiously - occasionally his head darts out with a splash and he comes back wet and clutching a wriggling fish between his teeth.] Yeah, yeah, real impressive, bud. Gods, how did dad do these knots? I should have paid more attention when he took me fishing...
b. [Or, later, he can be found out in the slums past the wall, carting a net full of fish after Toothless has eaten his fill, and he's filled a net bag to take back to Wilders' Edge for himself and Keith. The excess catch? He stops in a small encampment of down-on-their-luck people, human and monster alike, and offers it to them.] Here, uh. We had a really good day fishing, there's no way we can eat all this. Maybe some of you could take it off my hands?
[vi. Wildcard!]
