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.

[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.

what's that thing beside you?

[continuousgroaning]

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

[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]

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.

[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?

[lasersounds]

Definitely a mech.

And yeah, it's got weapons. [A statement followed up by a devious grin.] Want a demonstration?

[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?

[secondscythe]

[ If only you could see the sparkles in his eyes. ]

hell yeah!!

[lasersounds]

You see that, Red? Do your thing. [He moves, letting the camera focus on the Lion. Red's not the same show off Blue can be, but it knows its Paladin.

It seems to stretch, almost cat-like, before letting out a roar and taking off. There are several aerial maneuvers, flips and corkscrews, before the show really begins.

In hindsight, Lance is lucky they were outside, because the display is explosive. Tail-lasers and railguns make for a fun show. Red looks all too pleased as it comes to a stop beside its Paladin again.]

What do you think?

[secondscythe]

[ What does he think? Hoo boy, he thinks that was pretty fucking awesome is what he thinks. ]

yo!!
you mean to tell me that thing is sentient?!
but you can also pilot it at the same time?!

[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.

[lasersounds]

[Excuse him, he's going to look so proud.]

Yeah, they can have a mind of their own sometimes...but they're pretty responsive to their pilots once you bond with 'em.

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.]

[secondscythe]

i almost feel kinda jealous.
wish we had sentient suits.
does he like
talk to you?

text;

[legionnaires]

Still here.

[lasersounds]

I wouldn't call it "talking" so much as...feeling him in my mind? It's weird.

video

[lasersounds]

Unless I stayed back home longer than you or Hunk?

Yeah, I think that's definitely a possibility. [More like a certainty, but you know.]

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."

[secondscythe]

you mean like telepathy or somethin?
