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.]

Comments

[pidge_out]

Why? [And she's honestly asking, because nothing about this mess she has bothers her. Pidge still knows where to find things. Mostly.

She's still pulling out more items, ones that she probably won't even end up using in this particular instance. It takes a minute, but eventually she pulls out a cord and starts inspecting it carefully, squinting at the ends.] This should be it...

[shiro2hero]

So you don't have to keep everything... out. Like this. Where people could trip over it if they're not careful.

[Like him.]

[He doesn't flinch at the cord, just starts unbuckling the sling, letting the arm rest in his lap. There's a vague twinge of soreness, in the healing bone, but no sharp pain. Definitely still too heavy.]

Take your time. I'm not in a hurry.

[pidge_out]

[The movement catches her eye, and it makes her frown a little in concern. Pidge knows that his injuries were extensive and that Shiro still has a lot of resting and healing to do before he'd be back to snuff. But it's just... something else to actually see him in person.

Lowering the cord into her lap, she pats the surface of her desk.] Rest it up here. That'll probably take the weight off your shoulder. Literally.

[shiro2hero]

[She should really meet up with Angela and conspire behind his back, let's be real. But for now, he nods, lifting the limb up onto her desk as indicated. It moves fine, but the shoulder it's attached to is still human.]

[Still a lot more fragile than the tech.] Guess this thing isn't as handy as it looks.

[SHIRO DID YOU JUST FUCKING PUN AT HER.]

[pidge_out]

[It'll happen eventually. She'll get the rest of the team in on it, too.

Meanwhile, Pidge just sets about opening up the main plate on Shiro's arm so she can plug the cord in. And she gives Shiro an amused look at the same time.]

Puns. So that's what Darin keeps complaining about with your sense of humor.

[shiro2hero]

[Ganging up on him is unfair, child!]

[He matches her look with a vaguely sheepish one of his own, shrugging his other shoulder.]

Is he really complaining about that?

[pidge_out]

[All's fair in love and war.]

[She smirks a little, refocusing on what she's doing and getting the cord plugged into her laptop.]

A little. He's written about it in his journals and stuff.

[shiro2hero]

His journals? I thought you convinced him to switch over to tablets...

[Wait.]

Why are you reading his journals?

[pidge_out]

I've been trying. He set in his old-fashioned ways.

[And then, very matter-of-factly-] I was actually looking for his notes on the Ingress.

[shiro2hero]

I guess it's not that important now, with all the resources here.

[Yeah, still kinda judging here.] And instead of that, you read up on him hating my sense of humor, huh?

[pidge_out]

Yeah. He can get all the notebooks he needs now.

[She gets a nice, smug smirk while she starts getting to work.]

Your name just kinda stuck out.

[shiro2hero]

We're going to end up with a library of his stuff at this rate.

[oh god that face. Not that face.]

... stuck out how?

[pidge_out]

That's pretty much what his room looks like already.

[Does it mean anything? Does it? Does it?]

It came with a pretty good caricature, that's all.

[shiro2hero]

Maybe we should look into storage for him, too.

[Just. This face.]

... I don't know how to feel about that one.

[pidge_out]

He needs huge shelves. Layers of them.

[That's the face he drew. Pidge's grin just grows.]

Well, he actually did drawings of all of us.

[shiro2hero]

We'll work on that.

[Yeah that's not reassuring.]

Okay, I'm slightly reassured. Slightly.

[pidge_out]

[Pidge shrugs a little, already tapping quickly away at her laptop.]

Well, photos aren't exactly an option for him, so I guess that's just how he files his information.

[shiro2hero]

Yeah, I guess that's true. Maybe we should show...

I can't believe I'm talking about somebody's private notes. Forget I said anything.

[Meaning don't tell him anything else so he can maintain deniability.]
