You're not half bad when you're not messing with us.
By the way the troll guy is still pretty upset but I think you already figured that out.
Yeah it's Altean. Paladin suit, for the Green Lion of Team Voltron.
Which right now consists of exactly me. And, well, me.

Good.
Hope you don't mind me messing with all of this.

You know, when things aren't obviously in a bad way.

Uh speaking of which, where do I go? This room is almost as big as a lion hangar...

GAGTAG SORT OF

[lonewolflion]

Vol...tron?

Oh I mean, me too.

[bliptech]

Oh, and Keith. WAIT. KEITH. WHERE ARE YOU?!

[lonewolflion]

Turn around, I'm right behind you.

[bliptech]

[DOING SO.

AND--]

KEITH!

[Now there is a Green Paladin clinging to you, buddy.]

[lonewolflion]

[ Keith has to laugh a little, it was surprising but at the same time seeing Pidge was a welcome thing.

Better than not seeing any of their team.

Specially after what happened. ]

[bliptech]

[Seriously.

What a mess that all was.

What a mess this is.

Pidge is just happy to see any familiar face right now, but Keith is someone she knows she can rely on and that's a good feeling at this rather uncertain moment.]

Geez, I thought I'd lost everyone again...

[lonewolflion]

[ There's a hand on Pidge's head and another on her shoulder. ]

I know what you mean. It's good to see you too, Pidge.

So, what have you learned so far? And don't tell me nothing because I know you better than that by now.

[ Keith's grinning, mostly because he's trying to lighten the mood. He knows this is going to be hard for them, but he's learned at least a little bit to look on the brighter side with his team. ]

[bliptech]

[Pidge let out a breath she didn't realize she was partially holding, letting at least some of the anxiety fade away. None of the other Paladins were here, nor Allura and Coran, but that was something that could be dealt with later.

The comment earns a grin back. Of course Pidge wouldn't go without learning something even in the short time they'd been separated.]

Okay, so it's another war against someone who is in the castle. They're apparently really good at mental manipulation, and control I guess... darkness? Shadows? Something like that.

It's a castle on an alien world, no one knows where in the universe it is exactly, and the person that was supposed to meet us up here to give us more information isn't here.

Which is a problem.

Like a "if we're not physically up to kicking butt and taking names right now we should probably hide and wait it out" problem.

[lonewolflion]

Huh...sooo...a day that ends in 'y' then? I mean...sort of.

We really can't just have a nice relaxing day I swear.

[ Even as he says that his hand goes down to the lines on his right outer thigh, materializing his own bayard.

Well good to know he still has that. ]

Shall we get everyone to safety then?

[bliptech]

I don't think the Altean calendar has days that end in Y, but yeah. Basically.

If we want "relaxing" we should probably take that guy's advice and go hide out. He said there's elevators to the North.

So. Yeah. Safety. Let's do that.

[lonewolflion]

Heh you know what I meant. I'll go see about getting people out of here, if we split up we can cover more ground.

Meet back at the elevators when everything's done?

[bliptech]

Sounds good to me.

[Pidge gives Keith a thumbs up and starts to go do just that, but something makes her stop and turn back, expression betraying her worry.]

Hey.

... be careful, okay?

[lonewolflion]

[ Keith blinks a couple times before smirking before holding up his bayard. ] Same to you, yeah?

[bliptech]

[Pidge mimicked the motion, giving an affirming nod.]

Yeah.

[lonewolflion]

[ Giving a short wave, Keith headed off in the direction of a few other newbies.

Time to do their jobs as Paladins? ]

[bliptech]

[Go... part of Team Voltron!]

[freedom_engineer]

There should be a set of double doors, leading to stairs and an elevator, on the north end of the room you're in, hopefully that suit of yours has a compass. You and your friends should get to those doors ASAP.

Yeah, I'll apologize a little later for that. But you guys did kinda come barging into our network with all the graces of a Bulrathi at a Psilon Tea Party. And I've not been in a good mood for over two years now.

Mess around with it all you like, the phone network only has user access to my files, not admin access.

I apologize for delays, I've gotta muster the troops. The last time we lost track of Ozuma, we had some major problems crop up immediately after...

[bliptech]

North. Okay.
I should tell Sollux, too. Hopefully he'll listen even though he's upset.
That really was an accident, though. I saw castle and didn't think "network" until my holoscreen popped up with him talking.
And I'm inclined to believe his was the same thing.
So.
Yeah.
Sorry, it wasn't intentional at all.

But wait if you need help fighting or whatever why are you ushering me off? Paladins are all about protecting people! I mean, "Defenders of the Galaxy", it's kind of in our title.

[freedom_engineer]

Because these aren't your typical enemies, and I have no idea what situation you got yanked in from. We're not in such a bad way that we're going to ask the sleep deprived and starving to immediately start fighting if we can avoid it.

The queen pulls that on us enough.

... So if you see any immensely dark areas? Avoid them.

They will kill you, no questions asked. And then you're fighting for her for a little while before Ozzy's able to pull you back. If he's even still around.

[bliptech]

Greeeeeat.

Alien planet. Check.
Unknown creatures that want to kill us. Check.

Same story, different place.

... but you're right about one thing - we were tumbling through a corrupted wormhole being flung to who-knows-where, seconds after barely escaping Zarkon and pretty much the entire Galran fleet.

I've been -worse-. But I can't say my bruises are looking for friends right now.

[freedom_engineer]

Once we've put out these fires, I'll show you to the infirmary. If you've just gotten out of a big fight, you should probably get checked out.

So, hey, sorry for the rough welcome.

I'll try to pick out a good movie for you to make up for it, next movie night.

[bliptech]

[Ohhh, movie night.

In a castle. A very old castle.

Pidge is just going to roll with that considering there's a network here, too.]

It's fine, I really have had worse.

Keith and I are probably fine but I wouldn't argue a check whenever this blows over.
