☠ FOUR ☠ [VIDEO]
[When the feed comes on the scene it shows would be normal, if it weren't for a couple of key elements being rather off. Astrid is at the forefront of it all, cleaning off a rather sharp bloody looking knife with a cloth. There are some ripped up cloth bandages, some of them bloody, strewn along the top of the kitchen table she's sitting at. Off to her side is a rather pale looking Hiccup, one of his arms bandaged up in the same cloth strips. It isn't very hard to make the connection.
That isn't the only strange thing though - on Hiccup's forehead there seems to be stuck a bright yellow post-it note, with some runes scribbled on it. He looks a little miserable and sick, but Astrid herself seems healthy as ever. She takes only a moment more before adjusting the angle of the feed before sitting back entirely, continuing to clean the blade as she speaks.]
There really is a lot of sickness going around, isn't there? It's pretty unnerving. I figured either Hiccup or I would catch it, so I decided to be prepared. Good thing too, considering I was right and Hiccup did end up sick.
[Sliding the knife through the cloth one more time, she holds it up to her eyes closely for inspection before deeming it blood free, before tossing it onto the table with a little too much force, causing Hiccup to wince at the noise it makes.]
Like my mom used to always teach me, the best way to be on the offense of an illness is to go on the defense. That's why I've been praying to Eir every day extra hard. I even caught a goose in the park and sacrificed it to her when Hiccup got sick, just for good measure. I told Hiccup to pray too, but I guess he didn't pray enough.
[At that Hiccup rolls his eyes, but shoots Astrid a grimace of a smile when she glances his way.]
But it's alright. He'll get better and he already has started to feel better, haven't you Hiccup? [There's a nod, but...it isn't that enthusiastic.] I've put the proper runes on him, bled him a little bit, fed him garlic and even made him medicine out of herbs. I think the elder of our village would be pretty proud of me right now.
Anyway, I've been carving a few charms out of wood since they're better than post-it notes and last longer, and was wondering if anyone who's sick would like one. I can also help bleed you if you'd like. I'm really good at holding people down, even if they struggle!
So, let me know, alright?
[ooc: Both Hiccup and Astrid will be replying to your comments! Don't pity Hiccup though. He feels sorry enough for himself already. 8|]

[Oh my gosh, Astrid, what are you doing?]

You shouldn't do it again! If you cut him, he's only going to get sicker and the cut might get infected, too.

Re: [Video]
Um, I'm sorry if I got a little mean... I'm sure you were just trying to help!

[Video]
Ahhh y-yeah, yeah it does! At home, anyway. Because, uhm, this is...totally normal.

[Madoka knew some young girls from those groups, way back in the day.]
We have better treatments now! So, you don't have to get cut up anymore, okay?
[Video]
[He nods and shrugs awkwardly.]
I think that's what we've been told several times now. And I won't get cut anymore, promise!
[Video]
[She smiles.]
This place really does have all kinds of people, doesn't it...? It's been a long time since I've seen vikings!

[He laughs a little, coughing softly.]
Yeah. It really does. I know it still surprises me.
