Well, that was...something. [The feed comes alive, showing a rather perplexed looking Lance--and someone might want to note that the Lion at his side is not the old and familiar Blue. No, no. This Lion is a vibrant, deep Red--and it's hovering rather protectively at its Paladin's side.]

I know I'm not the first to be ported out and back again--won't be the last either. It doesn't seem like I've been gone that long as far as the calendar here goes but uh...Someone care to verify that for me? Because it's definitely been more than--[He pauses, counting off "days" on his fingers before looking back at the camera.]--a few quintents back home.

Speaking of. Looks like I have a lot to talk about with everyone from back home--if you all are still around? Seriously guys, check in so I know I'm not going to be some lone warrior in this place.

Uhm, it's still the end of October if that helps.

Video

[lasersounds]

Tina! [Girl you are a sight for sore eyes. He's kind of glad you're still around.]

That does help. Means I haven't missed out on Halloween.

Video

[continuousgroaning]

And I'm glad for that. I would have shared my candy if you had, though.

Video

[lasersounds]

Mark yourself down as my favorite. Any friend that willingly shares a Halloween stash is A+ top of the list.

[He grins.]

This means I can still give you a hand on the costume front, though. If you need it.

Video

[continuousgroaning]

I've missed out on it before, so I know how much it sucks.

Oh, I'd appreciate that. I have the wizard part down, but not the taco...

what's that thing beside you?

[lasersounds]

[Junior there can text, but for Lance...video will be his game. It's easier to explain Red that way anyway.]

Oh, this guy? [He grins, patting Red affectionately.] Red's the name. He's a Lion of Voltron. Uh...basically he was something I could pilot back home, but this place seems to have something against Lions capable of interstellar flight and he got downsized.

Not too happy about that.

[secondscythe]

[ If he uses video on here, he's going to get his ass kicked, so text it will be forever. Sadly. But the whole lion, Voltron, and pilot thing gets him to perk up a little... even though you can't see. ]

what
no way
that's like that lady said on here!
so you're a lion pilot, too?

[lasersounds]

Lady--I'm guessing you talked to Allura then.

And yeah, I'm one of the Paladins. It's a pretty sweet gig--most of the time.

[secondscythe]

[ He never actually caught her name or wasn't paying attention but sure. Allura. ]

yeah?
so they're mech, right?
they got weapons attached to them and stuff, too?

[juniberries]

I am glad to see you've returned, Lance. I was worried.

video

[lasersounds]

Allura! [He grins, a small sense of pride behind that smile. He's going to have so much to tell you.]

Uh...sorry. For worrying you. I wasn't gone that long, was I?

video

[juniberries]

Far shorter than my absence had been. Only a few quintents, as you said.

I suppose you've...been through a lot more than just those few quintents, though.

video

[lasersounds]

Definitely more than a few quintents...And oh man, there is so much to tell you. A lot's happened back home.

video

[juniberries]

Really? I told you most of what went on, as did Hunk.

Unless... [she lets that trail off, glancing to the side, for him to fill in that blank.]

[legionnaires]

Still here.

video; BECAUSE HE'S NOT RUDE, KEITH

[lasersounds]

Wow. Two words...nice.

But uh...still here as in "never left". Or still here as in "Hey, Lance we're in the same boat and I just sauntered in fresh from home too."

video; HE'S NOT RUDE JUST TIRED

[legionnaires]

Sorry.

[ There's a slight pause, before he shrugs ]

Same boat, probably? Did Lotor show up?

video; DEFINITELY RUDE

[lasersounds]

...Yeah, he showed up.

And I'm calling that we're in the same boat considering that I can see that Blade uniform, Keith.

video;

[legionnaires]

Yeah then...same boat.

We have a lot to talk about.

Video;

[hunksmash]

Oh, man, Lance. I was, like, an inch from freaking out about whether you guys were gone for good and whether I was gonna have to field stuff with the house.

But also, you know... Welcome back. I don't want to downplay the importance of that.

Video;

[lasersounds]

Hunk. My dude, my man...would I ever leave you on the hook for something like that?

[A pause.]

Actually, don't answer that. Seriously though...kind of good to be back after the excitement back home...Like seriously, dude. I am ready to just chill.

Video;

[hunksmash]

Well-- [ Oh, wait. Right. Not answering. ]

Wait... Are we all out of whack again, timeline-wise?

Did something bad happen?

Video;

[lasersounds]

Yeah, we probably are...

I mean lion-switching aside I have a good month or so past that I think. Space-time is weird but...we have like a whole coalition behind us now??

[And a whole bunch of other stuff he should probably update him on in person. Just to make sure Hunk was like...sitting down for half the news.]

Video;

[hunksmash]

Yeah. I mean... We were working on that much, at least, last I knew. I guess it's good that it worked out!

... It did work out, right? [ Tell him their team-ups aren't deadly for anybody who's not actually in the giant robots, Lance. ]
