《RTTE watches HTTYD》(13) Awkward...
Advertisement
Many raise a brow, noticing Stoick usually waits until Hiccup gets back to the house to talk.
Dagur snorts, 'like that works.'
Suddenly everyone's breath gets stuck, they don't know when Stoick finds out. 'Could this be it?'
Dagur snorts again, remembering all the times Hiccup got away with stuff. Stoick has used that line before when he occasionally catches Hiccup but doesn't think it's bad enough for a lecture. He knows nothing is going to happen.
Many tense, Dagur and Shadow just lay back and relaxe.
Dagur just sighs, while the rest of the watchers get confused. Shadows the supervisor, not a watcher.
Throk scrunched his face up in confusion. "I was under the impression Stoick hates dragons?"
"He does at this time." Dagur responded.
"But how-" Dagur cuts off Throk and just points at the screen, already guessing what's about to happen.
Dagur sighs again, his body sagging with it this time. Throk lets out an "oh", somewhat meekly.
Viggo and Ryker frown.
Dagur glares at the screen for a second, before relaxing into his normal posture. Viggo and Ryker's brows furrow, wondering why no one thinks to be gentler with someone more than twice as small as them.
"He didn't just say that right?" Mala asked, disbelief in her eyes.
"He did, and it's a classic Stoick move too." Says Dagur.
"Stoick says things like this most of the time?" Viggo asks, face deceptively calm.
"Yep, at least when I was visiting, he might have toned it down or Hiccup got good at avoiding having conversations with him. Having most of their conversations be either lectures or arguments didn't help matters either." Dagur said, a frown present on his face; he's thinking if he will need to do anything extra to help his brother.

Viggo nods and sits rigidly in his chair. 'Maybe the reason he likes that Astrid girl is because of the negative influence, not wanting to be seen as even more of a failure. That and remember Astrid is the only respectable girl Hiccup's age in comparison to Ruffnut.'
"Not likely, all those awful conversations are probably rearing their ugly head. And if they're not fighting or spewing out degrading comments with no regard then it gets really awkward where neither of them says anything and then stumble over each other's words." Dagur says.
Dagur raises a brow.
'Maybe he's finally doing something rig-.'
'Never mind.' Mala narrows her eyes, no self-respecting woman wants their breast plat to be used to decorate a man's Viking helmet.
All the males grimace along with Hiccup.
Everyone can agree that the scene is awkward.
"Told yeah"
"Yes, Dagur we know."
"Just pointing it out."
"A little aggressive there, don't ya think."
"I'm pretty sure we all think that Dagur."
"I'm just saying!"
"He's gonna win."
"We all know that Dagur."
"I'm just saying! Sheesh."
"Nope, sorry honey. Hiccups saving people and dragons complex will always get in your or anybody looking to hurt people and dragons' way."
Viggo sends a glare Dagur's way for interrupting the images; Dagur ignores him.
"Of course he is, he now has to go against the Monstrous Nightmare in an open arena, unable to do any of his calming dragon techniques."
"We know Dagur!"
"I'M JUST SAYING!"
"Say it in your head then! Some of us are actually trying to watch the images without interruption!" Dagur glares but eventually slumps in his chair, pouting.
Ryker lifts a brow at the language.
Throk just shakes his head, of course, it wouldn't be that easy.

"Don't women now to keep their tempers in che-" Throk cuts himself off when he looks at Mala, who simply raises a brow, "Shutting up now." Mala nods, satisfied.
Everyone wisely keeps silent about the glare, for a similar but deadlier one is being pointed at them.
"Please do brother! The rest aren't good for you! Can't let them corrupt your sweet innocent mind!"
"Oh no." Was accurately summed up by Dagur.
"Brother! You're just making it obvious you're up to something! We really got to get you to lie better."
"Considering he's able to keep something as big as befriending his village's supposed mortal enemy hidden for that long, I don't think he needs to. So quite your whining."
"That's only because the Village is dumb." Dagur finishes.
Throk considers slapping himself in the face again.
Throk decides to slap himself in the face.
"With that horrible lie?! You had that coming!" was heard from Throk.
Viggo shakes his head. Even Ryker is frowning at the horrible excuse Hiccup tried to make.
Mala raises an eyebrow at the tactic. Throk glances over at her nervously.
"And, it's serious now." Dagur drags out the "and".
Viggo raises an eyebrow at the sudden change.
Dagur's mouth drops open in shock.
"Yeah right. Hiccup just doesn't want anyone killed." We can all guess who said that.
"That's actually correct." Everybody turned their heads towards Viggo, confusion visible.
"Think about it. From Toothless' point of, Astrid came into his territory, which he didn't mind considering he didn't do anything until then. Then Hiccup comes into the cove, unaware of the invader, who fixes him with a menacing glare and after some type of interaction, proceeds to hurt Hiccup even after he was down. Hiccup didn't get up right away and Toothless didn't know if Astrid would try something again so tried to either scare her off or get rid of her." Was explained to the disbelief on the rest of the watcher's faces.
Mala eventually nodded, "It makes sense, Astrid was an unknown so didn't know if she meant true harm. He knew the Terrible Terrors wouldn't harm Hiccup so he left them alone as long as they didn't take his food."
"Yes, we've been through this already."
"Dagur, you know they can't hear you? Right?" There was no response.
Throk rolls his eyes, 'The only other sentient being with you currently? Just Maybe?'
"That's not good."
"We know Dagur."
"Back to sleep?"
"Dagur."
"Yes?"
"Shut up."
With that final statement, the Watchers are ready for the next set of images. 'Weeell, maybe not Viggo and Ryker. Expect a lot of growling.' Shadow thought to themselves, will they need to tie them down?

Post War Rules
Life on Torus Terminal is usually fast paced, but simple. A frontier Terminal has little room for easy living, but the great, circular station does boast shopping and culinary experiences from many Imperial races and cultures. Any star is, by its nature, extremely far from its neighbors. But laser highways, and the great shimmering sails of the light-rider spaceships make the trip into only about ten years. Still, the denizens of Torus Terminal eagerly await the day when the Anti-Euclidean Engine their station is built around finally comes online. Once that is done, they will have unfettered access to the entire Empire. Instantaneous travel and trade across hundreds of stars. Torus Terminal does boast one other oddity: a creature which calls itself Human. As he says, the last of his kind for now. He has made quite the life for himself on Torus Terminal, especially in the darker corners of the station. The elites of Torus Terminal praise his name, for once he took up arms, crime began to fall. What they did not realize was that was because he had claimed the seedy underbelly of Torus Terminal for himself and his own goals. The elites praise him as a paragon of law. The criminals fear him as a ruthlessly clever crime boss. Those closest to him, know him as the General. This story was originally posted on the Humanity Fuck Yeah subreddit, where it evolved from a simple play on a historical figure in a science fiction setting into a full blown space opera. I kind of took it as an opportunity to explore a setting I've had rolling around in my head for years. I also decided that it would be nice to have it in a place where I could more easily come back and edit it later, so I'm reposting it here. Here's a link to the original posting if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/e9cwpl/post_war_rules/ If my genre and tagging is subpar, let me know. I'm still new to Royal Road and I'm open to help. Feel free to comment and make suggestions, or discuss. I love comments, and so long as we keep things civil I also love criticism.

So What If I'm Trash? Who Needs Cultivation?!
Qing Shan Long. They say he isn't human. An escaped experiment from some government facility, a reincarnation of a saint, a freakish superhuman. Whatever he was one thing was clear. Be it Music, Martial Arts, Science, whatever he does he excels. He was a whimsical man. A great man. A man who craving for knowledge and excitement knows no bounds, whose collection of books and personal library would even make Alexander the Great green with envy. He donated to all manners of charities and funded many projects for helping the poor and disabled. A self made man who single handedly founded one of the largest corporations in the world, Wen Qu Technologies, whose influences reach from vast fields of expertise. From objects of war such as the newest aircrafts, droids, and body armor; to life saving medicine and vaccines; to even the mundane such as video games and the fast food industry. A legendary example of determination and hard work. He was in his car being driven to a business meeting to disclose a deal that would help ensure the country could have access to clean energy and help reduce the pollution that has been plaguing his homeland for the past millenia when he was assassinated and woke up in a strange new world. How will Qing Shan deal with his new environment where the strong suppresses the weak? From the top of the world he suddenly finds himself free falling to rock bottom. Unable to cultivate, a weak body, and all but disowned by his family. (For those who read comics and watch cartoons, imagine him as being Tony Stark, Richard Reeds, Jimmy Neutron, etc level of 'Genius'. ) My own spin on some familar tropes. Another reincarnation into another world story. The MC will take over the body of someone with a trash body that can't cultivate and will be hated and neglected by his family. Pretty typical so far right? Except there won't be some amazing miracle to heal our MC, there isn't some magical grandpa to teach him some OP thing which only his trash body can use, there isn't a hidden op bloodline, and he is not from a super amazing assassin clan or genius doctor. He isn't the chosen one, he's just a guy trying his best to make something with a crap situation. First attempt at a wuxia type story! I like playing with common tropes, maybe adding a twist, to playing it straight as a classic. I have absolutely no idea where this is going to take me but please do give your input and I'll do my best so that everyone has a say in where our journey will go. I'll admit the only knowledge I have of chinese history and ancient society is from reading light novels translated to english and some old dramas, so if I make some social passe just take it as because this is another world, not exactly an AU where magic and stuff actually exist. I'm also not actually Chinese and will basically using google to help me with names and other such, if I make a mistake please let me know! (Even if you don't like the story or couldn't bare to get past chapter 1 please leave a comment so I can find out where to improve, thank you!)
