I'm not going to make it in today. Bit of a [...] team emergency that I don't know all the details on yet.

I'm okay, thou No, that's a lie If something comes up and you need me, though, let me know? I can at least try to do a little bit from here.

KEITH

Hey. [...] I know you're hanging around outside. I'm sorry, I know the waiting is hard.

FILTERED TO NON-VOLTRON PPL WHO GOT MITHRIL (raw or item)

Hey folks. Uh, quick question: does anyone still have some mithril? Willing to trade for it or something? I'm willing to offer money, services, or future loot. TYVM.

TEAM VOLTRON "-SHIRO"

Morning everyone. The future memory update have struck again. This time it hit Shiro. Don't ask me for many details, I don't have them. And we'll all get to hear about them in a few days. So please give Shiro his space. He's asked for it, and he deserves as much from all of us.

You stay calm, you get to know what I know. :)))))

SHIRO

Hey, so wrote the team. You can read it here. You do you man, for space and network. But they come to this house for you, I'm stopping them.

Voltron

I just wanted to let you that Alice and I broke up today.

WHO: Lance & Keith
WHEN: June 1, late night-ish
WHERE: middle of the desert outside of town
WHAT: serious talks happen over slushies instead of hanging out at the ball
WARNINGS: just general angsty talk and fade to black smoochies

( I kinda feel like if I say too much, everyone is going to freak. )

Filter: Asgardians minus Sif

I want to give Sif a gift. We were discussing birthdays and when I asked her when was hers, she told me she doesn't remember. I celebrated a false birthday not long ago because Earth time and Altean time is very different, and so I felt like Sif deserves something special as well. So I come to you for suggestions since you have known her for far longer than I have. How shall I treat her?

Filter: Voltronverse + Alice + Quentin

Since you all know more about Earth than I do, if I was to give a special woman a grand treat to make up for any birthday we may have missed, what are some of your ideas?

WHO: Lance & Keith
WHEN: Night of the ball
WHERE: Tumbleweed and the road leading out of it
WHAT: Keith is having some trouble dealing with new memories, so Lance decides they're not going to the ball, after all. PART ONE! Oooooh. Aaaah.
WARNINGS: Teenager doofs

( How about we get out of town for a night? )

TEAM VOLTRON + TONY STARK (904913)

Guys! They're building a space station! I'm going to go see if I can get in on this.

I still have no idea what I'm going to do with this money the portal gave me. Part of me wants to be responsible, and use it to buy a car, or save it for school. Part of me wants to blow it on something ridiculous, like a trip to Disneyland or somewhere I've never been.

Keith

You've been quiet.

Does anyone know a good tattoo parlour in town?

Matt and Pidge are good kids. My arm used to look like this and I had to attach it with a harness. It did it's job pretty good, I was able to hold a man from falling off my truck doing 80.

This is what it looks like now. I have more coordination with it. It attaches at the shoulder. I'm really happy with it.

The end table we made is holding up well.

Hey, anyone else living around Bluebonnet Village see a red laser go off?

I dropped a heavy box on my foot at work, and it broke on my foot. Didn't even hurt me at all. I can lift a car over my head without breaking a sweat. I shut a glass door, and it shattered.

I know I'm usually strong, but I'm never this strong. I don't want to go near anyone, because I'm suddenly worried I might accidentally hurt them.

I got two arms and I need to punch things. Anyone up for a spar?

So, one good thing about this new Tumbleweed: it has an airfield. With some smaller planes from what I can see too. Want to look into what we'd need to take one of them up in the air here?

So, the good news is only two of the Galra sentries were damaged beyond repair, so those have become our supply of spare parts. The rest are in decent enough shape. Their programming has been hacked to make them friendly and on our side. That seemed like a higher priority than repairing what damage they took. Which is next on the to do list. But hey, if we have use for 18 robot sentries, we should discuss that. For now, they're in the Castle of Lions. Also, if we want to customize them further (beyond y'know their regular fighting/guard/etc duties and utter lack of a sense of humor), that's definitely possible. Never thought I would be so happy to see Galra sentries, but honestly it's great, and I wouldn't mind if other Galra robots come through. Though please, no robeasts.

Filtered: Team Voltron

We had a lot of beeps of disappearance today, and I've spent most of it in the belly of the Castle of Lions, so if you could all check in that would be great.

Filtered: Keith & Matt

So, those two sentries getting damaged beyond repair isn't necessarily the worst thing ever. Some of those parts could likely be scavenged for use in your arm, Keith, if you don't mind me using Galra tech/circuitry. I'd still prefer the mithril exterior because sentry plating just isn't anywhere close to it (or Shiro's arm).

Whew, okay. Hey? I sure hope this logs. I guess today's just a party all over because we got Galra sentries in Council 9! I'm here with Allura right now trying to disable them. We're right by the university. Team Voltron, you guys copy?

I don't know what anyone's living situation or financial situation is like, but I just wanted to offer the Castleship for anyone who is momentarily looking for a place to stay if rent money is not a feasible thing right now.

Or, if you believe it will help, a number of elven gowns and tiaras came with me, and I have been told that they would sell for a really good price on eBay. I love them, yes, but I wish to offer aid to my Paladins and friends, first and foremost. You are much more important.

I know I said that I really wanted a dog Pokemon, but this little guy's really grown on me.



He's pretty cute. He keeps following me around a lot, and he's really friendly.

If someone knows where any possible spider pokemon might be here, I would like very much to avoid them for my own comfort. I would be very grateful.

You think they have dog Pokemon here? Because that would be awesome. I wouldn't mind getting one of those.

Want to go exploring with me in this new port a little bit?

WHO: Lance & Keith
WHEN: March 18, early morning
WHERE: their suite bedroom’s balcony
WHAT: Memory bumps sure are a head ache.
WARNINGS: I don’t think there are any? Lots of feels thoughts.

( So other than the headache and memories, situation normal? )

It's come to my attention that I haven't done a good job of meeting all the scientists around here. I mean, there's at least one I haven't talked to - one named Ray? - but I bet there are even more. Who wants to get together and talk science and tech sometime?? Bounce ideas off each other?? Figure out how some stuff around here works??

SHIRO & PIDGE (separately)

Did you guys have fun last night? The ball was pretty great, right?

KEITH & LANCE

You guys are really cute, just so you know.

TONY STARK (904913)

Even without being interrupted by aliens or robots, I had a really good time last night.

My fellow passengers,

Princess Zelda and I are holding a Spring Ball on the boat in the Explorer Lounge this Saturday, March 17, beginning at 7pm. I've been told that was the appropriate time for a Ball to begin. There will be food and drinks. Everyone is invited to this, no age restriction at all.

I know by then we will have left this port, and while it doesn't come close to replacing one, perhaps it would be a good distraction from the disappointment of leaving one so soon. I confess to wanting to go back to Middle Earth myself. I do hope you'll join us!

Filter: Sif

You must come to this! Do you have something suitable to wear?

BRAKEBILLS, TEAM VOLTRON, & TEAM NEW YEARS

I was out walking this morning around the Camelot area and I complemented someone's horse. We ended up having a thirty minute discussion and at the end, they handed me a bean and told me to have safe travels.

I'm leaving in thirty minutes. If you want to come, I'll be at the dock.

[Filtered to the Voltron Crew]

So, I feel like we got a little spread out in Middle Earth. Group adventure in the Enchanted Forest?

Hello, fellow ship-goers. I was wondering if there is anyone among those with magical abilities to help create potential party decorations, as I don't think the staff on the boat has an array of choices to pick from?

I'm looking for decorations that were on the same level as those that were introduced to us during the Winter Ball. The difference here would be that this theme would be Earth's Spring. And on a ship instead of land. My magic, unfortunately, is highly limited and what I can control is not of this world. I will take any and all the help, of course, should anyone else want to participate.

Filter: Princess Zelda

Upon further inquiry, it looks like we would also be responsible for dinner and drinks, instead of expecting the staff to just provide all of it.

Filter: Lance

Want to assist me with your ideas of "razzle dazzle"?

How do Earthlings have multiple meanings for the word "date"? That is just asking for a number of misinterpretations during communication. When does it mean a gathering for an activity and when does it mean a romantic outing?


added later
In my existing confusion, I almost forgot to note: now that are back on the ship (unfortunately), I'd like to resume our story time sessions with the children in the library, starting this afternoon, if anyone wishes to join and participate.

The hobbits were nice enough to give me some recipes to take with me. The food was so good, and they were so nice, I almost didn't want to leave. But you can bet that as soon as I get access to a kitchen again, I'm trying some of these out. Anyone want to be my taste-testers?

FILTER TO KEITH AND LANCE

I'll come.

FILTER TO ALLURA

Now is good.

FILTER TO SHIRO

Good morning.

Filter: Loki (MCU)

Do you plan on bringing some of that Elven drink to the boats when we leave this place?

Filter: Alice Quinn

Look, last ti Since it'll be I would like to start over.

Filter: Lance & Keith

I wish to have a chat. Before you get scared, no, this is not about either of you.

[Voltron+ (minus Shiro) + Alice Quinn]

I know we've got other priorities going on while we're off ship, but Shiro's birthday is coming up soon after we leave port. We all know what options we have on the ship, so this could be a good time to pick up some extra supplies for a party. Especially since we could have better luck finding a stove or oven to use for our own food prep here in Middle Earth.

Also, keep it quiet to Shiro. I don't know if he's expecting anything or not, but let's make this a nice surprise for him.

What in the quiznak is going on with my head?! What has this world done to me??

[Text to Shiro]

→ I need help.

→ Shit, that sounds bad.
→ I'm fine, it's not that sort of help.
→ Sorry.
→ Just talking help.

Filter: Team Voltron

You may join if you would like or do your own thing but, should any of you need me, I will be with Sif and Loki.. I believe Thor will be there too. I will be in good hands, of course. Enjoy your touring!

[TEXT TO KEITH]

→ hey tmrw is v-day
→ keep the evening free
→ i made plans

Heads up mostly meant for Team Voltron, but also to anyone else who wants to know: I'm planning on spending our entire time here off the ship, as a dwarf, with the dwarves. Going to be learning smithing and seeing about getting some mithril. I probably won't be checking the network as regularly since I might actually be smithing and all at the time things go down. But I'll touch base regularly, and if you too want to learn this kind of stuff, you're welcome to come along.

I wonder if I'd be able to mine some Mithril?

Someone mentioned something about this where we're going on Middle Earth having a place where they eat seven meals a day and the food is really good. I know what I'm looking for when we get there.

[Pidge]

How's your walking ability looking?

WHO: Lance & Keith
WHEN: February 3
WHERE: Voltron Suite common room to their bedroom
WHAT: Lance helps Keith to their room after being released from the medbay and they deal with the awkward misunderstanding that happened before the whole battle thing
WARNINGS: A roller coaster of feels. Seriously, they have a lot of stuff they’re dealing with. It goes all over the place. They just have problems communicating sometimes. Also Keith still dealing with the amputee thing as a general warning.

( I was talking to her about someone else. )

You know, I might have gotten used to eating space food, but nothing beats being able to eat earth food again. Especially pizza. And hamburgers. And french fries. Oh, also pancakes.

KEITH (+ PIDGE ADDED LATER)

So - not exactly sure if there's a right time to tell you this, but I knocked a couple of teeth out of that shark's mouth. And then I kept them. You can have them, if you want. Or I can do something else with them.

WHO: Lance & Keith
WHEN: January 26 afternoon-ish
WHERE: Cruise ships med-bay
WHAT: Keith wakes up after the battle and Lance breaks some bad news to him.
WARNINGS: description of battle and blood, dealing with loss of limb and phantom pain, morbid humor and drugged haziness and just feelings. ‘Survivor’s’ guilt going on too.

( You might feel a little off… )

It seems like Lian has decided that another story-time session in the library is overdue, and we'll be gathering tomorrow for it. Zelda, I'll hope you'll be able to join me tomorrow. Loki as well if he doesn't have anything else.

And since I mention it here, if anyone else would like to join with their children, I'd be happy to entertain.

Filter: Keith

I heard some interesting stories about the mices' visit with you the other day. I assume that's the effect those Earth drugs would have.

You know, I'm sure I've said a couple of times that I could use a break from saving the galaxy, but being suddenly pulled away to a cruise in another universe was not what I had in mind.

Anyway, I'm Hunk. Hi.

Also, is there a kitchen somewhere here? When I'm stressed, I like to bake.

Keith

Are you free tonight?

WHO: Lance & Keith
WHEN: Yesterday afternoonish
WHERE: The waters around Atlantis
WHAT: Emotionally-inept teenagers end up taking a nice day out on the water and ruining it with misunderstandings.
WARNINGS: None!

( Just forget it. )

WHO: Lance & Keith
WHEN: Before Atlantis.
WHERE: In the Voltron suite
WHAT: A little getting on each other's nerves, a little opening up about insecurities...
WARNINGS: Soft looks. So soft.
