- VIDEO - backdated to a few days back to be safe -

[By now, life aboard the Moira has likely adjusted everyone to a wide variety of strange, unusual characters. Still, with the crew being more or less predominantly human, the space elf who appears on the camera may look more like a fictional character than a real member of your crew. (Like, seriously? Look at that hair of hers. No one actually has hair that nice, do they??) However, she's quite real, as a number of crew members who have already met her can attest. She speaks with confidence and a charming accent.]

Greetings, crew of the Moira. As some of you know, I was among the new arrivals to this ship several weeks ago. However, now that I've learned more about this ship [and she's reasonably confident that it is not secretly owned by the Galra] it is high time that I introduced myself to you all properly: I am Allura, princess of the planet Altea.

[She does her best to smile, albeit awkwardly, as she continues:] However, for the time being, there is little need for such formalities. I will be taking the far more modest role of this ship's Veterinary Assistant. And please be assured, I will show your pets the same attentive care and respect as I do my own.

[But her expression shifts into a more serious one.] ... that being said, I haven't entirely abandoned my previous duties, either. One doesn't merely take a vacation from their birthright, after all.

As such, I would be interested in organizing a meeting with representatives of different groups aboard the ship. Other than humans, many of the races -- and robots -- that I have seen aboard this ship are entirely new to me. And even humans are relatively new to me, rather than an old affiliation of the Alteans. As such, I would relish this opportunity to learn about your kinds, and perhaps to forge new alliances.

[She hesitates for a moment here, as if she's not sure how frank she wants to be about this next part. This seems to be well outside the Empire, but...]

Additionally, if there is anyone -- anyone -- who has previously encountered the Galra Empire -- if you have suffered at their hands, or if your home is under Emperor Zarkon's dominion -- please contact me at your earliest convenience.

No. They didn't.

She's our commander. Like she said. It's complicated -- and how much she wants other people to know is up to her.
forgeabettertomorrow: (sure whatever you say)

Alright alright I get it its complicated

[This is a lie. This is a bold faced lie. But he likes Shiro so he's at least going to try.]

I heard you.

Please do. I don't know what you have against her, but she's one of the bravest, selfless people I've ever met.

She deserves a little better than capslock.
forgeabettertomorrow: (sure whatever you say)

Re: [text]

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2016-11-16 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)

Royalty and I never really got along

I dont just arbitrarily hate people for no reason

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2016-11-17 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Are you sure about that? Because it seems like you hate Allura for no reason. Except that she's a princess.

... it's a technology term.
forgeabettertomorrow: (Face tomorrow)

Re: [text]

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2016-11-20 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
I told you I have my issues with royalty

Its not anything especially personal towards her but I dont trust royals so easily

Long story

Doubt youd really understand

If you didn't go out of your way to antagonize her, you wouldn't have a problem with her.

Give her a chance. She's not even from Earth. For all we know, Altean Royalty could be elected, not inherited.


[Yeah though he doubts that, even from what little Allura and Coran have said. But damn it if he's going to let all of this just slide.]

Darin.

[Somehow, there's that tone of dad voice here. Despite it being text.]
forgeabettertomorrow: (sure whatever you say)

Re: [text]

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2016-11-20 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
OKAY OKAY OKAY dial down the dad voice

Yes there was a fire involved

BUT in my defense

I come from a world every advancement in technology is either magical which I am barred from learning thanks to royalty or is defined by literally adding more horses to it

First day on the job and mistakes are bound to be made
shiro2hero: (no burning down the Garrison!!)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2016-11-20 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
This is text...

Yeah, but setting something ON FIRE is a little extreme. Even for someone who uses "horsepower" literally.
forgeabettertomorrow: (GHK!)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2016-11-20 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
ELECTRICITY IS KIND OF A NEW CONCEPT

How was she supposed to know any of that? Did you tell her, before things caught fire?
forgeabettertomorrow: (I don't really get it but...)

Re: [text]

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2016-11-20 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
The fire was kind of already an issue

Like she and I made first contact when the fire was happening behind me

I kind of needed help and she suggested I scrub toilets

this is not constructive criticism
