I... have captured a lobster.

[He says this with great pleasure. You should all be proud of him.]

...why?

[heavyweaponsbot]

Why not?

[stray-cub.livejournal.com]

Oh, well...I guess I don't know. I didn't even think of catching them.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Now you have.

good job! those are really hard to catch. You ccan buy a lot of nice things with one, I heard!

[heavyweaponsbot]

... You can buy things... with this?

[unamvirtus.livejournal.com]

Yyeah! really nice things!

[tic-tech-turtle.livejournal.com]

Can you elaborate on the details of the lobster?

[heavyweaponsbot]

...

It... is a lobster.

[tic-tech-turtle.livejournal.com]

Well...yes. I probably should have elaborated myself, um...

I meant color or size...gender, if you can tell? Where did you find it?

[Don's bored and wound up. This means he's in a science-like mood. Sorry, Ironhide.]

[There was a medic here, but now he is...

No, he's still here. Lobster, you say?]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He just hands it over without a word. It's average lobster size. And orange.]

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

[His expression lights up as he examines the creature, absolutely delighted.]

[vikingess.livejournal.com]

They are tricky little beasts.

How big a lobster did you catch, out of curiosity?

[Bragging? Astrid? Never.. Now hopefully, she won't have to share the details.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Yeah. Pinchy too. Hmnf.

... Average size?

[Ironhide's size perceptions are a little skewed.]

[vikingess.livejournal.com]

[Astrid's still convinced that everyone on the boat is a viking(no, she really hasn't gone much of anywhere on boat nor the island), and the concept of a giant robot is still potentially brain breaking.]

And a lot faster than you'd think.

Hmmm... so, big enough to hold, then?

[talkingfishbone.livejournal.com]

So, does this mean you're going to eat it?

[Hiccup assumes that's their only purpose...though...

He wants to keep one as a pet ;A;

Granted, Hiccup wants to keep everything as a pet. That's not wrong, is it?]

[heavyweaponsbot]

... You eat these things? Eugh!

[What is the matter with humans? Is there anything they won't ingest?]

Giving it to my medic.

[talkingfishbone.livejournal.com]

[Very nearly.]

Well, it may currently look unappetizing, but under its shell is a white meat that's sweeter than sheep. Uh. Sheep meat.

I ate one with some friends the other night. It was really good.

What's your medic going to do with it?

[ DISSECT IT FOR SCIENCE?!]

[tachikhromatic.livejournal.com]

Big deal, they're easy to catch.

[Nevermind that Musashi has not been able to make a live capture as of yet. Shut up.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Ironhide ignores this. He's proud of his accomplishment. And no nay-sayer will deter him.]

[tachikhromatic.livejournal.com]

[You're so mean to children, Ironhide.]

[skin-and-steel.livejournal.com]

How did you do that without scaring it off? Those things run fast.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Bait.

[skin-and-steel.livejournal.com]

What kind of bait~?

[Look what you've done. Now the shrimp wants to catch lobsters.]
