[Lance is all smiles as he clutches a small book to his chest. He's still clad in the blue lion pajamas he was wearing on Christmas, because heck, they're comfy and warm and he's happily lazing about in bed right now.]

Happy New Year, everyone! Okay, I'm like...two days late, yeah. But better late than never! For being stuck in a castle with monsters, at least we sure managed to celebrate the heck out of the holidays. It's been a while since I've gotten to, so thanks to everyone who put all that stuff together.

[He hums a little as he glances to the side thoughtfully.]

So I wanted to say that, and what else was there...oh, yeah! I wanted to make a formal apology to all the cuties in the castle. For I, the amazingly gorgeous and charming Lance McClain, am now off the market. I'm now dating the one person in the castle who just might be able to rival me in sheer attractiveness, at least if he dragged his haircut out of the 1980s.

[Okay, he kids. A little. He's grown fond of your mullet, Keith, and will probably yell at you if you ever decide to cut it.]

I still don't fully understand everything that's happening here, but it's okay. Things are good. Things are actually good.

[Pidge has her phone turned on, propped up to show that she's hard at work at her desk like any other day. She barely glances at the screen, but she replies to Lance's post because that's what teammates do, right?] I really don't think the apology was necessary. [A pause, the thing she's using a soldering iron on smoking faintly as she glances over the tops of her glasses.] ... congrats, though. [Maybe Keith will finally stop making distressed noises every time he comes in to the room now.]

[the_tailor]

It was totally necessary. Think of all the hearts I've broken, Pidge.

[Grin.]

Thanks for the congrats, at least. Team Voltron now has its power couple.

Eh ... I'm engaged to my best friend anyway. Grats, though.

[ourlegends]

Probably not a bad thing, my husband gets jealous pretty easily.

But hey, way to go!

[the_tailor]

Grats to you too about the engagement! Who's the lucky person?

[the_tailor]

Ehhh, you know, just covering all my bases.

Thanks!

[ourlegends]

Yeah, I can understand that I guess. I kinda just fell into a relationship with this guy and we got married while we were in the last world we got dragged into. I really never expected to be married at my age.

[timeninja]

Chloe Price. Blue hair, beanie, thin as a stick, likes to be very loud and smoke weed every day, all that stuff. We've known each other since we were kids.

[soundmind]

What in the world is that supposed to mean? You're not a fish, why would you be in a market?

[He's...it's some kind of metaphor right? It's a really stupid metaphor, though.]

[the_tailor]

Oh yeah! I know her! Nice score there, she seemed really cool. She's the one who convinced me to make those pies for Thanksgiving.

[the_tailor]

Wait, really? How old are you anyway?

[the_tailor]

You know. The...relationship market? The dating pool?

[You're not making this fish metaphor any better, Lance.]

[timeninja]

Oh, cool! I'm glad she's making friends here. It's good to see her happy, you know?

[shirtlesspersona]

I thought we covered this, kid, you weren't anywhere near my market until you had another century or three under your belt.

[ Teasing playful voice here. ]

Stop appologizin' and go have fun doing whatever with the other kid.

[ourlegends]

Uhhh ...

[ She actually has to count mentally. ]

I ... think I'm 17 now? I got married when I was 16, while N and I were still in the Bastion.

[bliptech]

Mhm. All point-five of them.

[That's less than one, Lance. Please keep that in mind.]

I wasn't aware we needed a power couple.

[soundmind]

...

[No, not really.]

That just makes it sound illegal. You know? Like a human trafficking ring? I mean congratulations, but why the need for an announcement? It looks conceited.

[the_tailor]

I know exactly what you mean. Honestly, this place is pretty good in some ways. I mean, aside from the monsters and stuff, at least we have the downtime to be social.

[the_tailor]

Holy crow, seriously?! That's younger than me! You seriously already got married?

[the_tailor]

Don't rain on my parade! [He pouts.] You never know, with an awesome guy like me, if people might have been secretly pining.

[Also not helping with that "conceited" part.]

[ourlegends]

Y ... es??

To be fair, I come from a world where kids are out on their own at a fairly young age and traveling with Pokemon.

[ Lance....really. ]

Lance. I mean I appreciate that you're telling people you're taken but do you have to make it so public?

And my hair isn't that bad!

[the_tailor]

Yeah, I think by then I'll be space dust. Not exactly much there to date.

[He snorts.]

I would, but he's training right now, and heck if I'm going in that room any more than I have to.

[timeninja]

It's not totally bad. I have more time with Chloe here. I'd say it's a good thing.

[ Don't ask her about what happened back home. That's a breakdown waiting to happen. ]

[the_tailor]

I'm proud of our relationship. Aren't you, babe?

[The pet names have begun. Sorry, Keith.]

It's not that great, either.
