[ When the screen flickers on, it's just Keith's face on super close up as he attempts to prop up his phone. After a moment he's satisfied, stepping back to reveal cupcakes! There's about twenty cupcakes on the counter, cooling on a tray and they actually look like cupcakes.

Stepping out of the video frame (don't worry, if you were paying attention to the beginning you'd catch him in an apron) he pushes the cupcakes closer to the camera, then grabs the frosting bag off the counter.]

Okay... frosting. I hope I get it right this time. Patience yields focus can be applied here, right? [ He takes a deep breath, then carefully starts to put the frosting on top.

His hands are shaky, and they aren't too even but he's clearly trying. After he's gone through half of them, he leans down and spots that he's recording. ]

Oh. ....Uh so we're gearing up for some sale tomorrow for a ten year celebration of the bakery being open. If you're in Maurtia Falls you should come by.

Tomorrow will be busy, but I was thinking maybe we should actually schedule a day to meet and discuss everything. There's a lot we need to talk about and I think it needs to be in person.

Any ideas where we can meet?

Which bakery is that? I'll pay a visit.

[legionnaires]

Hot X Buns Bakery. The owner is very welcoming and he's pretty excited to throw a celebration with the imPorts around. He'll probably be hanging out.

[devoutish]

Is he.

When's the celebration? I'll come after the crowd has died down.

[legionnaires]

From noon til about four. There might be some regulars hanging around, but it should be a bit more quiet by then.

[devoutish]

Excellent. I haven't been to this bakery yet. Celebrations aside, do you recommend it?

[legionnaires]

I'm kind of partial to their breads actually. I'm not really into sweets too much, but their bread is all done by hand, and so is the pasta. I'm impressed.

[devoutish]

Pasta? At a bakery?

You are correct, it is high time that we convened and had ourselves a proper team meeting to talk. It did not occur to me how much time has passed.

I can host it at my housing complex in Maurtia Falls...I have not seen my supposed roommates since my arrival so it should not be a problem.

[AND THEN, TICKS LATER:]

And I will be stopping by tomorrow for some of those cupcakes, Keith.

[legionnaires]

I haven't really seen my roommate either but better not make any missteps and piss them off.

Great. I'll have some set aside for you. There's some pretty awesome walnut cookies too, if you'd like?

Unfortunately I do not know of any other place here we can use to meet besides either my or your place. I know some people here like meeting in places called "coffee shops" but what we'll be discussing must be private.

And excellent! I will have to keep them away from the mice. They love walnuts but they are getting a bit...round from all the cheese they've been eating lately.

Coffee shops are for meeting people for dates, Allura. We could always organize for a meeting room at a local business in the future.
A lot of local restaurants offer private spaces for rent.

You know, the pet store might have some of those exercise wheels for the mice.

[juniberries]

[how was she supposed to know.....]

Okay, then we can strike coffee shops off the list entirely. I didn't realize that was what they were for.

...Exercise wheels?

text; private to team

[legionnaires]

Okay and well I guess study groups, but mostly dates. At least from my experience.

Yeah. There's a pet store up the street. We could go take a look? It'll keep the mice in shape.

So does this mean snacks for the meeting are your responsibility?

text | Private to Team Voltron

[legionnaires]

Why are you like this?

text | Private to Team Voltron

[lasersounds]

Like what?

Scout rules, man. It's so your turn on snack rotation.

text | Private to Team Voltron

[legionnaires]

Who made those rules? Those are terrible.

Text | Private to Team Voltron

[lasersounds]

Uh, dude...those rules have stood the test of time.
Whoever made them is a genius.

And Hunk's been on snacks for how long? Guy deserves a break.

Text | Private to Team Voltron

[legionnaires]

So when are you bringing snacks? I'm pretty sure if Hunk needs a breath you should be the one giving it.

Wanna do the weekend? That's generally free time, right?

You're using your wrists too much. Lock em and let your shoulders and elbows do the work.

text, team filtered;

[legionnaires]

Pretty sure I'm free next weekend. I figure the sooner the better.

Really? Huh. I'll give that a try. Thanks.

text, team filtered;

[hunksmash]

When we meet up, I'll have to pass on some tricks of the trade.

You seem to be liking it alright, at least. It's relaxing, right?

text, team filtered;

[legionnaires]

Great. That'll help a lot.

It's nice. It gives me something to focus on until we find a way back home? I can't do much about Zarkon from here.

text, team filtered;

[hunksmash]

Nobody can, so... Yeah. Having something else to concentrate on is good.

text, team filtered;

[legionnaires]

It just dawned on me.

If we're here, couldn't they easily bring in Zarkon as well?
