[ As the TAB's video feed switches on, the only thing in view is one blue eye, as someone gets a closer look at the device before he realizes it's actually already recording. ]

—Whoa, okay, is this thing on now? I think it's on. [ Lance pulls back from the camera and steps back, clearly leaving it balanced on something as he stands back far enough to be beside Keith, both of them clearly in view.]

I'm Lance. Pilot of the blue lion, Paladin of Voltron, master sharpshooter, [ He pauses for a moment to make double fingerguns at the camera. ] and kind of a big deal. [ He elbows Keith, who tenses and glares back at him. Keith obviously isn’t thrilled about being on camera or about being elbowed on camera, but he elbows Lance right back, as subtly as he can (not very). ]

And I’m Keith. Also a Paladin of Voltron. If that means anything to any of you, contact us.

[ Lance elbows him back again, and it's really unsightly how these two are both all sharp angles. It's a wonder no one's getting stabbed. ] Dude, come on, you gotta give a better introduction than that! That's super lame.

Finger guns are super lame! [ ELBOW. ] It was concise.

[ ELBOW. ] Your face is concise!

That doesn’t even make sense! And stop elbowing me! [ ELBOWS. TWICE. Lance tries to get out of the way of Keith's flurry of furious elbows, but only succeeds in knocking down whatever it was his TAB was balanced on, the video remaining on as it tumbles down and settles on a view of their feet. After a moment of not moving, Lance leans down to peer into the camera again.]

—Okay, so uh, we're gonna go, but first, um… no one's happened to see any giant robot cats around, have you?

Not yet. The only Alteans here are myself and the mice.

On the upside, you'll find there's far more humans around here than there were on the Castle-Ship.

[She has a lot of thoughts about what she wants. I want you to say this is all some mistake, and that what Hunk said isn't true. I want to not have to think about it... Unsurprisingly, she doesn't speak a single word about it all.]

... we should all sit down and discuss the situation, and make sure what we know lines up. Perhaps there's something we've missed.

[businessinfront]

[ Keith nods. That sounds maddeningly unpleasant, but he can't deny that it's probably for the best. ]

Right. So we're all on the same page. No surprises.

[knaval]

[he sends a picture to their TAB.]

That's him! He's a real pal.

[knaval]

Really? Well, it's your lucky day! He might try and claw your face off but it's just his way of showing love.

[crankycat]

Of course it's obvious to me. Robots in my world talk. [Or at least his species of them can.]

Can robots not do that where you come from?

[crankycat]

[He huffs a little, with maybe slight amusement.]

Yes, you have certainly made that obvious. Get used to it, because I'm not going anywhere.[At least until a way home is found.]

[grammascookies]

I can see that quite well. If you have your talents, you should make the most out of them, shouldn't you? Have you practiced a heroic pose for your master sharpshooting adventures?

[grammascookies]

I presume you aren't exaggerating when you use the term universe, yes? That is quite a hefty burden on the shoulders of one so young.

[pidge_out]

[There's a little sigh at that.] I do miss Green.

But at least there's actual food here. [The novelty of real, solid food has not yet worn off for Pidge.]

[pidge_out]

You're the only one he'd end up tearing apart. I'd be fine.

[kickeminthepistons]

It looks like a mullet and it waddles like a mullet and it quacks like a mullet, so I'm pretty sure it's a mullet.

[kickeminthepistons]

Hey now, measuring people up to the best is totally unfair. [Referring to herself, but he can pat himself on the back too, she's fine with it. Speaking of...]

So, what kind of "big deal" are you, huh?

you know what I'mma threadjack a bit

[patchricide]

I don't think that last statement is true.

[CONSIDERING HOW RAVAGE REACTED TO HER MENTIONING THE LIONS NEEDED PILOTS...]

HO HO

[knaval]

Haaaaaaay, Princess!

[patchricide]

Hello again. You wouldn't be intentionally misleading my paladins about anything, now, would you?

[knaval]

Me? Never!

Threadjacking the threadjacking

[crankycat]

[Bit of a growl, but at Riptide not Allura]

No it isn't true.

Attention "big deal", / Would you be willing to prove / Your sharpshooting skills?

[Focusing on the actual important stuff here ngl]

[patchricide]

If you ever want to visit and meet all the paladins, I'll make sure that they don't attempt to ride you.

[patchricide]

So, out of curiosity, do any of the robots normally have a pilot?

[shiro2hero]

You guys are a lot alike. I'm not surprised to hear you say that.

[businessinfront]

Oh, I bet Mr. Big Deal would.

[ Now this is interesting. ]

[yablueit]

Absolutely. Name the time and place!

[crankycat]

....thanks. You seem to be the only one of them that isn't a dolt.

[Though from what he's seen, Shiro doesn't seem all that bad either.]

You wouldn't want me around, any how. [He's not the most social guy.]
