thecapitol | Just gonna shake it off

Who: Ruffnut and You
Where: Wandering around the Capitol
When: After the arena.
What: Ruffnut is prowling around the Capitol exploring and getting glared at.
Warnings: None yet.

The arena was winding down and Ruffnut still hadn't found Hiccup and Astrid...and so she'd given up on that for now and was exploring.

Back home whenever they weren't causing destruction she and her twin loved to explore the island inside and out. From the forest to the mountains to the beaches and the tunnels deep underground. Ruffnut took pride in thinking there probably wasn't much of Berk she hadn't seen.

But as much as Berk was her world, The Capitol was bigger. So...so much bigger.

And she was on foot which didn't help. Once or twice a cab or carriage would stop by to offer her a ride only to spot the branding on her cheek and scowl at her. She was a horrible traitor and the Capitolites despised her for it.

That however barely bothered her. She didn't care about what these chumps thought! She was a proud member of the Hairy Hooligan tribe! She did what she thought was the right thing and if they didn't like it they could bite her!

Of course that thought just brought her back to the monster man who had eaten her in her first arena. She shook that thought away as well.

During the black out she'd gotten her kicks by smashing anything she could get her hands on and setting fires. But now that things were back to "Normal" she was bored and looking for a thrill. Preferably one that wouldn't get her arrested again. She had even been patient enough to let her stylist pretty her up again with clean, washed and freshly braided hair, and a rough looking dark green leather jacket that made her think of dragonskin.

The weather was cooling these evenings and it was getting dark sooner but to a girl from Berk it was barely a chill.

This is presumably when she spots you! Yes you! Whoever you are she's sticking her nose in your business and moving closer to see what you're up to.

"Perhaps you should move aside." Came the reply of the equally well built woman as she approached. Really, it was as if everyone was attempting create a scene now. It was only natural. But one would think that these "Peacekeepers" would have a bit more sense.

But hey, she still considered everyone here fools.

The peacekeeper scowled at her but his slender and incredibly made up partner simply turned up her nose and led him away muttering something about "Savages." which had him responding "No where near as attractive as Venus."

Ruffnut didn't know who Venus was despite having met her in the last arena, but Ruffnut was happy to hear the stern words from Sonja that drove the locals off.

Shoving herself to her feet Ruffnut pulled a face dusting off her rump.

"I'd like to see those losers make it ONE day in the arena." She spat.

"You mean with no favoritism towards then?" Considering they were Peacekeepers even if they were to be tossed in, odds were that they would be given favoritism over all else. Showing strength in one's countrymen and all that was a powerful thing indeed.

"Best we don't cause too much trouble in the meantime, unfortunately."

Ruffnut groaned and rubbed her face in irritation.

"Yeah I know, but it's not easy." She shot another glare at the Peacekeepers before turning her back on them for the last time.

"Back home trouble was the only thing I knew how to do! Here I can't even get halfway started into some real trouble before I get shot with lightning and thrown back in my room."

Ruffnut wasn't sure but she thought she might currently hold the record for most times tazed in the capitol.

"No, it's not." She went back to ignoring the pair though, in favor of focusing on the girl. It was never easy to hold back from those mocking you. If this was Hyboria then Sonja would have just kicked their teeth in before heading off in some other direction. But here? Here, everything was monitored, and it unnerve red her greatly.

"....Perhaps we should focus on other em devours for the moment then, yes?"

"Yeah alright." Ruffnut agreed turning her complete attention to Sonja. There was a long pause before Ruffnut added "And those would be...what?"

Ruffnut did not know the meaning of the word endeavors. Literally.

"That is simple." Or at least simple in her mind. There was only one thing to do when biding your time and plotting the downfall of your captor.

"You eat, drink, shag and train." Train for the day when you finally break your chains that is. But until they find a way to do that, it was best to watch and learn from your enemy. The only sure way to best someone was to learn about them.

Ruffnut pumped her fists into the air in a hardy cheer.

"YEAH! Now that's the kind of whatever you said I can get behind!" Not that she had ever shagged, and she only trained as much as she felt like it. But the other two worked great.

"Live like we're in valhalla because we could be going to war any day now. When you put it like that it sounds fun." She declared happily.

Sonja gave a small smile before nodding her head in affirmation. That was pretty much exactly what she had in mind. Party as if they were dead, then go and kill stuff when it was time to do so.

"I'm afraid that I cannot sing or tell good poems." That was going to certainly be a bit of a shame. But what could you do?

"Aw come on everyone can sing. Just not ya know...good." Ruffnut encouraged waving to usher Sonja further down the road where she knew a good bar was. One that still would serve her despite the branding on the side of her face.

"I dunno about poems, that's more Tuffnut's thing. But I've got stories I can tell ya. Like this one time my brother got himself stuck in a dragon trap right? He was hanging from this tree..." She launched into the story enthusiastically, apparently thrilled to have a warrior friend willing to follow the time honored tactic of distracting themselves from problems. By the time they reached the bar Ruffnut was grinning wickedly again.

"So this huge dragon is starring him down, and it turns out it was this dragon we met as a baby! We named it Toarch and now Toarch was back! And Tuffnut was training him while hanging from a tree like some kind of big stupid fruit."
