Paladins.

[Guess what, kids? Space Dad finally found a reason to post on your newfangled network shut up, Shiro, you're not even old, so have a slow pan of the new training area by the pool and gym. A good sized open space, fairly high ceiling, some castle appropriate training equipment... it's as close to the training room in the Castle of Lions as they're going to get. Almost weirdly similar, actually, once you get past the obvious difference in tech and building materials, but beggars can't be choosers.

He's been looking for an open area large enough for all five paladins to train in at once without risking too much destruction to anyone/thing nearby, and this place will do just fine. Team Voltron has been idle for too long.

Shiro turns the camera back to his own face, looking... not smug? That's definitely a less than innocent smile, though.]

Suit up. [Insert brief directions to the new training room off the pool area here.] Twenty minutes.

Good. In that case, I'll see you all down there.

I'm eager to see the paces you put them through, actually.

It probably won't be all that interesting, honestly. Just something to knock the dust off.

[Not even planning on having them pull out the bayards.]

[freedom_engineer]

Well, the amount of "Interesting" there depends on how much dust you have to knock off, doesn't it?

I've been lacking an organized training program for a couple of years now. Following some other group's will probably help knock some of my own dust off.

[Laughing a little.] Not too much, hopefully, but it never hurts to be prepared.

Technology limitations in this place will force us to make things a little more basic than usual, but we should be able to operate just fine. I'm kind of a fan of the basics, to be honest. [As his teammates are soon going to learn.]

[freedom_engineer]

Preparation has saved my life more times than I can count, so you won't hear me arguing.

The technology here takes a little... ah... getting used to. But if you can think of anything you might need to improve upon, just let me know. I've got no problem with the basics, but I do enjoy getting my hands dirty on upgrade projects.

I might have to take you up on that. Something tells me that Hunk and Pidge won't exactly be pumped about pitching in to make things harder for themselves.

[He knows they will if he asks. Probably. But they're used to training droids that best them pretty regularly, and the clockwork gladiators that the training room provides don't look nearly as sturdy.]

[freedom_engineer]

Give 'em time. It takes the youth of the world a little longer to realize the joy of making things harder so they can get the satisfaction of beating it.

That said, I'll see you down there, and we can see about putting this stuff through some advanced paces.
