One Fish. [Video/Action for Route 29]

[toofless]

_{[What's on the screen? Why, it appears to be a beautiful, high-definition view of the interior of someone's nostril.]}

Mmmm? MMMM? Mmmmuhh? Mmmm mmm mm GRHHGHRGHRGH.

_{[The nose recedes, replaced by a crooked (and slightly blurry, because that is what happens when you rub your nose all over the screen) view of two enormous green eyes. ... And then the sky. And then the eyes again.]}

KK-KK-kkh-kh-kh-kh!

<sub>[Looks like somebody's getting used to his new mouth... and finally trying to use the weird contraption he'd been given now that he's all out of food (which didn't last long) ... Which of course includes putting the PokeGear into his mouth, giving viewers the lovely experience of viewing an uvula up close, in case they ever wanted to do that. Even if they did, they probably don't want to anymore.]

[Smeared with drool, the 'Gear is eventually pulled from his mouth again, this time showing his whole face. The burly black-haired teen smacks his lips a few times, looking down at the device with disgust. Hadn't really expected it to taste good, but it had been worth a try... He'd definitely heard it making noises and moving, though... and it's more complicated than anything he's ever seen before... Toothless knows only one person who can make things this complicated.]</sub>

MMmmmng. Guh. Kht. Khp kuhp kuhp. Hhh. Hhkp. PLTH.

_{[After blowing a raspberry in his disgust at how hard it is to make even regular noises with this weird, small, toothy mouth, he decides he'll just have to express his worry at this startling new situation another way. The 'Gear is promptly dropped, giving a sideways view of a pair of stubby hands clumsily clawing around in the dirt. Moments later? It's picked up again, because Toothless is proudly showing it (and therefore anybody watching) his work, which is a large tangle of incomprehensible squiggly lines. Toothless makes a proud, satisfied noise.]}

Mhhrh.

_{[Now Hiccup will SURELY find him and find a way to make it all better again. c:]}

<sub>[STARE.]

[The box was talking just like Hiccup talked. He didn't necessarily understand every word, but the voice wasn't threatening, at least. After a wary pause, Toothless remembers himself and attempts to return that weird mouth gesture that humans made.]

[... Exposing the mouth full of distinctly-sharper-than-is-generally-seen-as-normal teeth.]</sub>

[[... that was... a little intimidating. But... almost a smile? Have an awkward smile in return.]]

Just arrived, I assume...?

[Video]

[halfatail.livejournal.com]

<sub>[It is a smile! ... A really awkward smile that sort of looks like he doesn't really know how to do it very well, but it is!]

[At the question, he tilts his head to the side a little bit, jutting his chin out as he tries to both understand the question and think of an appropriate answer.]</sub>

.... Hbbppltthplth.

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

[[blink blink. Erm... ]]

Having trouble talking...?

[Video]

[halfatail.livejournal.com]

<sub>[Answer: Yes. :(]

[The broad-faced teen just tilts his head to the OTHER side at the question, making his spiky black hair flop.]</sub>

Mmmbbbh.

Kuhp.

_{[Abruptly, he turns the 'Gear around to point it at his scribbles again, as though they explain everything.]}

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

Aaa.. I can't read that... [[so apologetic]]

There's a text function on this, you could type out what you're trying to say, that might be easier!

[Video]

[halfatail.livejournal.com]

_{[With a disappointed grumble, he turns the screen back to himself.]}

Ffffshun?

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

In addition to video, you can send text-- written words. Do you see the letters on the gear?

[Video]

[halfatail.livejournal.com]

<sub>[Text? Letters? WAT?]

[He at least seems to know that Bakura is talking about something related to the contraption in his hands, so he's squinting at it more closely, wrinkling up his nose.]

[There were ... buttony things? They remind Toothless a little of the snaps and clasps all over the saddle that Hiccup had built for him-- lots of little bits and pieces that he had no idea what they did. :(]</sub>

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

[[That... did not look like any sort of comprehension. Oh dear.]]

...nothing you recognize...?

[Video]

[halfatail.livejournal.com]

<sub>[Nope. :I]

[He leans in to sniff at the keys.]</sub>


Adffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

[[...yeah, that's a pretty clear 'nope']] Aaaa... never mind, sorry. I guess that won't really work...

[Video]

[halfatail.livejournal.com]

<sub>[Sitting back, Toothless heaves a HUGE, exasperated sigh.]

[It wasn't like Hiccup was ALWAYS easy to understand, but at least he didn't shove weird human contraptions in his face with even tinier humans in them and expect him to know what to do! Huff.]</sub>

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

Sorry... I really thought it would help.

[Video]

[halfatail.livejournal.com]

<sub>[He shrugs in acknowledgement of the apology. He knows it's not your fault, Bakura. :( He's just frustrated!]

[Hiccup always understood his scribbles...]</sub>

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

[[sadly, Bakura is not Hiccup. Give him some time and he might be able to decode, however. He has a lot of practice with that in games.]]

But you can understand what I'm saying, right?

[Video]

[halfatail.livejournal.com]

_{[He rolls his broad shoulders in a sort of 'more or less' shrug. He certainly seems to get the general gist, even if he doesn't seem to know WHAT Bakura's talking about some of the time.]}

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

[[most people have no idea what Bakura's going on about. He's used to it]]

So if I ask yes or no questions, you can answer easily, right?

[Video]

[halfatail.livejournal.com]

_{[He nods! ... Or... sort of bobs his head a little. It's basically the same thing.]}

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

[[Aha! Communication: Get!]]

So you just arrived, right?

[Video]

[halfatail.livejournal.com]

_[NOD.]

[Video] *combines questions to make things go faster*

[shiromadoushi]

and you're having a bit of trouble talking, [[understatement]] right?

And you weren't at all used to the gear and using a writing system that's completely different... [[said partly to himself]]

Were you this shape before you arrived here?

[Video]

[halfatail.livejournal.com]

_{[Yes to the first... and a VEHEMENT no to the second. As though to further answer that one, the teenager proceeds to bare his teeth and let out a low grrooooooowwwwwwl]}

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

[[Oh ho! Interest level +2!]]

Something a lot more fierce?

[Video]

[halfatail.livejournal.com]

<sub>[Oh yes. OH yes.]

[More growling.]</sub>
