video ;; action for Lion House

[shiro2hero]

So... what'd I miss?

[What's up TAB network, it's your friendly neighborhood spaceman out of hospital after a disaster mission to that hellscape planet. Looking halfway decent -- surely those circles under his eyes are normal and, you know, right arm in a sling is fine. Totally okay.]

[Managing the TAB is a little difficult since he's got a bag full of armor slung over his good shoulder but oops. Oh well.]

Anything I need to get updated on? New faces or issues?

[On his feet and already trying to leap back into work. Good going buddy.]

For anyone I've missed, I'm Shiro -- and if anyone out there knows the name "Voltron", let me know.

[Because if Hunk showed up while he was out, others might have too.]

[After making that little announcement, he'all continue on to the Lion House in the 5th district. And probably stand in the front walk for a minute to brace himself before marching on inside.]

How are you feeling? [She's or on shift right now but she can afford a moment to message the other adult in their house.]

Voice - private

[shiro2hero]

Hey, Fareeha.

[She gets a tired smile out of him.]

I'm good. Not as bad as everyone thought it was.

[Yes it was.]

How are things?

Re: Voice - private

[justice_from_above]

Figured you were made of tougher stuff. Everything here had been alright, within reason. At least, the house is still standing.

Voice - private

[shiro2hero]

Some of me is, anyway.

... did something else happen? I heard about the washing machine.

Voice - private

[justice_from_above]

[She sighs - oh god the washing machine incident.] Thankfully not other major hiccups, as far as I know. My schedule is a bit odd at the moment but I try to keeo an eye out.

Shiro! There's a new face you really need to meet right now instantly!

[lúcio moves the camera to something behind him. it's an alien frog in a small terrarium.]

Look!

[shiro2hero]

What happened now--?

[Because he's a little leery sorry Lucio. However, all that misgiving is put to rest almost immediately.]

Where did you get that?

[Is that a grin? That's totally a grin. It's a miracle.]

Re: video

[wallride]

It jumped on me from a tree! I think the little guy might've been lost... one of the locals said that they're supposed to be deeper into the planet's jungle.

[he crouches down and lightly puts his finger on the glass. the frog puts a hand on the other side of the glass.]

He gives hi-fives!

[shiro2hero]

[... holy shit. That's the cutest thing he's ever seen.]

That's... adorable. Are you keeping him?

Re: video

[wallride]

Yeah! I've managed to recreate his habitat...

[lúcio gets another froggie hi five.]

Look, can you see his back leg? I don't think he can hop properly. Maybe that's why he was in the wrong place.

[ACTION]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

[Its probably been a few days since Shiro's come home and Darin is only just now creeping into the house in the middle of the night. Truth is, this is probably the third time he's been back to Lion House since the incident on Eosoros with Shiro. He's coming back to freshen up a bit, get some sleep, then hopefully head out again before anyone can catch him.]

[He's grabbing some blue juice from the fridge right now. He looks exhausted. His clothes are wrecked, dirty, caked in blood...all due to constant runs through Eosoros.]

Alright...gotta get some sleep before it gets too late...

[shiro2hero]

[A few days of being home means a few days of being lucid. Finally. Which means it's back to not sleeping. Middle of the night is the normal time for him to be awake, and working on something or other. Planning some kind of exercise for the team.]

[But coffee is a necessity. So in the middle of the night, downstairs he goes, and into the kitchen.]

[Flicking the light on--]

... Darin?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

...Shiro?

Doc Ziegler cleared you to leave? This is great..! Welcome home, buddy!

[shiro2hero]

I...

What happened to you?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

"Thanks, Darin, it's nice to see you too!"

That's what you're supposed to say right there.

Wanna take it from the top?

Video (FOR NOW)

[pidge_out]

[There's pretty much no way to conceal the total relief and excitement on Pidge's face and in her voice, so... she doesn't bother.]

You're finally out! Are you on your way back?

Video (don't kill him with your enthusiasm)

[shiro2hero]

[Wow, funny how much he missed that face when all he remembers is texting her once or... twice? Maybe once.]

Out early on good behavior. [That's a joke.] Yeah, I'm almost there.

Video (no promises)

[pidge_out]

[Technically there were multiple texts going back and forth so technically he texted her more than once or twice, but- ANYWAY.]

[She grins at that. Bits of Shiro humor are like rare gems, after all.] Great! It's felt weird over here without you around.

Video

[shiro2hero]

Yeah, I heard. Anything else broken in the meantime?

[He's sort of bracing for the worst, while he walks up the path to the house.]

[pidge_out]

Nope, nothing. It's actually almost quiet.

[And as soon as Pidge sees where Shiro's at, she's scrambling to her feet and hurrying to go meet him at the door.]

Video

[im_a_leg]

Uh, a lot, actually. Apparently I'm from your future? So there's all that junk.

But otherwise just that I made you some mac and cheese and you should probably eat it. And also take a nap.

Video

[shiro2hero]

Look at that. You're real.

[Yeah he might have been worried he'd hallucinated Hunk being here.]

... Wait. Wait, go back to the first part. It's fine. Allura and Pidge are too. Don't worry about that.

[im_a_leg]

Heh. Yeah, unlike your ceiling cookies or whatever that was.

Oh, yeah. I'm from everyone's future apparently. And let me tell you, it's pretty awful. Uh, not the future. The future is fine. Well, mostly fine. I mean knowing stuff everyone else doesn't know. That part sucks.

[shiro2hero]

I'm trying to forget I ever said any of that.

... mostly fine? Is everyone all right?

[im_a_leg]

I don't think I can, man.

Oh, we're all fine! I mean, we got awesome new powers and kicked Zarkon's butt. Our lions can do nifty new things. You got your bayard back, by the way! So thumbs up on that! But like seconds before I got dropped here you kind of ... vanished from your lion? So you're probably fine! But we .. haven't had a chance to find you yet is all.
