Seventeen: In Which Klaus Keeps Up With His Various Acquaintances

A. Action for 729 Anderson
(mostly Hiccup but Lucrezia can tag in and be her usual Lucrezia-ish self too)

[This morning, Klaus made waffles for breakfast like usual. However, unlike usual, he has a motive. These waffles are extra-delicious and made with even more care than usual, and do you know why? Because he has a question to ask his son, and he wants to make sure said son is in a good mood.

You see, today, Klaus plans to be a Parent. And that means being nosy. He sits across from Hiccup and steeples his fingers.]

So.

Who are you taking to Prom?

B. Action for Ples Tibenoch

[All schools go on break this Friday, including the little kindergarten attached to Mayfield Elementary. To top it off, this week the kindergarten has been having short days, so Klaus is done with work much earlier than he usually is. Given that it's around lunchtime and he has nothing better to do, he decides to bother Ples at the bank.

Ples, there is a Baron stopping in to say hi and maybe convince you to take your break and come have lunch with him. Wat do?]

C. Phone for Garviel Loken

I was wondering if you were interested in joining me tonight, perhaps for dinner or merely a drink?

[Not that Garviel can really 'drink', except for the social aspect. But it's the thought that counts, right?]

Certainly my friend, it would be a pleasure to have a meal with you. I expect we shall have much to discuss, with this strange upcoming prom event. I must confess I am... concerned about my daughters.

[... Oh man so now what does he cook (because Lucrezia can't cook, don't even suggest it)?]

Ah, yes. The Prom. We used to have a similar thing aboard Castle Wulfenbach for the students, and I seem to recall it being an event that required... very close supervision.

[He learned this the year that Theopholous DuMedd arrived at school and subsequently spiked the punch with something that made it glow bright acidic green and spit sparks twenty feet up in the air.]

I intend to supervise it closely, Klaus. What was your castle like?

[identity profile] myblimpisbigger.livejournal.com 2011-04-15 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, well. It isn't truly a castle at all; Castle Wulfenbach is merely its name. It is actually a blimp a kilometer long; a mobile capital city, if you will.

[It's his baby. He sort of misses it.]

Ah, rather like a Leviathan or Capitol Imperialis. Impressive. At any rate, I should stop by shortly. Would you like me to bring cake?

[identity profile] myblimpisbigger.livejournal.com 2011-04-16 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[He can sketch out the plans for you when you come over, if you like -- he did design the thing, after all! Also, Garviel. How did you know that the fearsome Tyrant of Europa has a sweet tooth?]

If you wish to, I certainly won't stop you.

[Now what is he even going to cook PROBABLY SOME SORT OF STEW Europa seems like a country that would be all up on stews]

[he stops by shortly thereafter with delicious chocolate cake from the bakery. Hooray for bros. He knocks on the door, still clad in his battle plate. Because he wears it EVERYWHERE.]

[identity profile] myblimpisbigger.livejournal.com 2011-04-17 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
[... Do give him a moment, Garviel. It's just that... your armor is kind of amazing. And the fact that you're holding a cake of all things while wearing it is kind of hilarious.]

I... see you've regained something. Do come in.

[identity profile] lunawolves10th.livejournal.com 2011-04-17 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
That's right. My battle-plate. I didn't feel like a whole man without it. I have worn this most of my life for the last 100 years. It is... very reassuring.

[he hunches, the armor making all kinds of humming and whirring noises as he moves. He is no less agile for wearing it, in fact, Klaus can probably tell it's actually improvising his reactions in some way.]

worstvikingever: (that's not good)

A, duh.

[Holy crap these waffles are delicious. Hiccup has been eating them with vigor, I tell you, and by the time Klaus sits and asks his question, he's already plowed his way through four.

But when he asks the question, Hiccup freezes with the fork halfway to his wide-open mouth.

There's an important decision to be made here.

Eat this bite, or answer right away?

Oh gods he can't leave that slice of deliciousness just sitting so lonely on this fork... no. It must be eaten.

Slowly, he puts it in his mouth and chews thoughtfully.

By the time he swallows, he's managed to figure out what to say.]

Okay there's been a lot of talk about whatever this prom thing is and I don't really get it. What is it exactly and what's the point?

[identity profile] myblimpisbigger.livejournal.com 2011-04-15 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
[That's right, Hiccup. Eat those delicious waffles. Maybe you'll be less of a toothpick eventually!]

As far as I can gather, it is a party thrown for young men and women about your age, and the only actual rules are that one must go, and that one must go accompanied by a date.

Being as you going alone is out of the question, I suggest you decide who to ask, and soon.
worstvikingever: (i'm just going to wait here 'kay)

[personal profile] worstvikingever 2011-04-15 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Unlikely. Sorry 'bout that.]

Date?

[Hiccup gulps.]

Uh...

[identity profile] myblimpisbigger.livejournal.com 2011-04-15 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
[HE CAN DREAM, SON.]

Yes, a date. I'm sure you know at least one eligible young lady.

[He pauses, and then shrugs.]

Or young man, I suppose.
worstvikingever: (NOT AS PLANNED)

[personal profile] worstvikingever 2011-04-15 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
[This is Hiccup doing his impersonation of a deer caught in headlights. It's pretty uncanny, especially for a kid who's never actually seen a deer caught in headlights.]

I... hadn't really... been thinking about it...

[identity profile] myblimpisbigger.livejournal.com 2011-04-15 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Hiccup, you would win forever at charades. If you knew what charades was.]

Then I am quite glad I took it upon myself to remind you. You don't have much time, you know. This is what you get for putting things off.

[Alright, Hiccup, now he's just kind of trolling you. Forgive him. It's fun.]
worstvikingever: (wtffffff)

[personal profile] worstvikingever 2011-04-15 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Totally the champion of charades forever.]

But I... [don't think Astrid would understand and she'd probably punch me] really know... [and how am I supposed to ask her anyway?] uh...

[identity profile] myblimpisbigger.livejournal.com 2011-04-15 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
[OKAY TIME TO BE SERIOUS HNNGH]

Of course I cannot really expect you to go if you are not interested in going. But I do believe it may be a nice break from the usual, if nothing else.

[The implication being that Hiccup has been through a lot of really sucky shit in Mayfield so he should go get his party on while he can.]

Oh, Klaus! What a pleasant surprise, what.. what brings you here? I'm walking out f-for lunch now, is there something you wanted?

[identity profile] myblimpisbigger.livejournal.com 2011-04-16 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, no, not in particular. I was merely wondering if I might join you? My entire afternoon is free and, as much as I enjoy my workshop, I can only spend so long in there before I become mind-numbingly bored.

[identity profile] tiktoktibenoch.livejournal.com 2011-04-16 06:38 am (UTC)(link)


It'd be my pleasure! There is a small diner that I've been frequenting for lunch, they've rather excellent soups. Um... shall we?

[identity profile] myblimpisbigger.livejournal.com 2011-04-16 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh yes, totally not flustered. Klaus can tell. Ples is being the most suave of suave gay old men.]

After you.

[HE IS A GENTLEMAN HE IS HOLDING THE DOOR FOR YOU THIS IS WHAT CHIVALRY IS except Ples isn't really a lady

we can pretend

it's close enough]

[identity profile] tiktoktibenoch.livejournal.com 2011-04-17 04:11 am (UTC)(link)


Thank you.

It's down this way, , and we've time to walk there, if you'd like?

[identity profile] myblimpisbigger.livejournal.com 2011-04-17 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Ples, you are terrible at acting calm. Besides, Klaus is highly trained in the art of reading people -- no good ruler worth his salt isn't. TL;DR HE KNOWS YOU'RE FLUSTERED]

I planned on walking, yes. The weather has been unusually nice lately and it seems silly not to take advantage of that.

[identity profile] tiktoktibenoch.livejournal.com 2011-04-17 04:59 am (UTC)(link)


It has been! I've been... rather pleasantly surprised at it. I do hope this means that spring will be here properly, in the sense of warmer weather. Walking in colder weather or in the rain is just too much sometimes.

[identity profile] myblimpisbigger.livejournal.com 2011-04-17 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh yes, we shall!]

I imagine so, given how thin you are. It must be nearly impossible for you to conserve body heat.

[TL;DR EAT MORE >:C even if you... don't have a stomach okay shut up]
