_{[When the feed comes on a white little paw pulls back from the camera, showing a rather pleased looking Kyubey (well, as pleased as he always seemed to look), curled around a Pillsbury cookie dough container. Held between his paws it seems as if he's chewed the top of the wrapper off, one paw dirtied with cookie dough that he's certainly been licking it off from. He seems to be outside, laying in a patch of clover.]}

How many of you believe in the concept of luck?

_{[He seems to pause to try and fish out more dough, licking it from his paw once he succeeds.]}

The shamrock is a symbol of luck and has been for countless centuries.

_{[And he seems to release the container out of his grasp only to sit up, shake himself off and paw at the ground, plucking a rather large shamrock with four leaves (how lucky) out with tiny little teeth. Sitting back on his hind legs he takes it between his paws, ear twitching slightly.]}

People are superstitious and believe things will bring them luck, just like this shamrock. But it's nothing more than a plant. It isn't special at all in that regard. _{[And just for good measure he pops it past his unmoving little mouth, chewing and swallowing it with a tiny gulp.]}

Luck itself doesn't exist. Everything that happens in the Universe is based on various measures of chance and probability and the interaction between various causes and effects. Even so, people still choose to believe in such primitive concepts. It makes them feel better, I guess.

Even so, who feels lucky today? What is it like to feel lucky? Would you feel lucky if you had the chance to have any wish of yours fulfilled? Because I can do that. Almost any wish at all and I can grant it. Would you like me to?

Do you feel lucky now?

Make sure to eat an adequate amount of vegetables, or else you may die from gout.

[summing_it_up]

...I know that sounds like good advice, but when you say it so cheerily like that, it's sorta creepy.

[inkyubeytor]

Is it?

[summing_it_up]

Yes. Very.

A lot.

[inkyubeytor]

Sorry.

[summing_it_up]

Uh. It's...okay. I guess.

ACTION

[inkyubeytor]

_{[And then without warning, Kyubey appears out the shadows of wherever Hiccup is, little paws padding toward him.]}

Hello!

ACTION oh gosh

[summing_it_up]

[He was just chilling. For a bit, anyway. Nibbleheim has its busy moments, but right now was some of the downtime before another round of dishes gets sent in his direction.

It's probably a good thing he isn't holding anything when Kyubey appears. It would've gone flying.]

-GAH! Y- How did you- ?!

ACTION

[inkyubeytor]

_{[Weaving himself in and out of Hiccup's legs like a cat would, Kyubey hops up onto the counter silently.]}

Don't worry about it.

I'm Kyubey.

[summing_it_up]

[The boy wobbles, arms held out to either side as a leg lifts off the ground, staying in this pose as he watches the thing become about eye-level with him.]

...Um. I'm Hiccup.

[inkyubeytor]

That's a strange name for a human.

[summing_it_up]

So I've heard. Many times over. Never mind that, though - do you make it a habit appearing out of nowhere?

[inkyubeytor]

A habit of it? I never thought of it like that.

[summing_it_up]

Never?? You didn't think it was strange popping up like that? [He pauses, answering his own question as he crosses his arms.] Well, of course you wouldn't - that's normal for you.

[inkyubeytor]

Exactly. Things that are the norm for one aren't strange to them.

[summing_it_up]

Just as I thought. So...what brings you here?

[inkyubeytor]

Curiosity.

[summing_it_up]

...I guess that's good a reason as any.

[inkyubeytor]

Of course it is! I'm sure you've found yourself in odd places thanks to curiosity's sake.

[summing_it_up]

[He takes a moment to think about it.

Because it's true.]

...Okay, yes, so I have. Not that big a deal, then. What else could possibly happen now that we're both here in the back of a restaurant? I have dishes to wash.

Unless you have a way of making them clean without all the extra elbow grease?

[inkyubeytor]

I could, if you wished for it.

[summing_it_up]

...

[He blinks.]

Aaah. What do you mean, if I wished for it?

[inkyubeytor]

I grant wishes!

[summing_it_up]

Really?

[inkyubeytor]

Yes! It’s my duty. I can grant almost any wish!
