Day 419 - open
[Action]

What was the worst way to go from sitting in your robot lion, flying through a wormhole, ready to fight the being that had attempted to steal your lion, had been the one ultimately responsible for being captured on a mission to Kerberos?

Suddenly being in the water of course.

This was the lovely introduction Shiro had to Marina, finding himself suddenly in the water. It took him a moment to process what had happened before practically launching himself out of the water, finding himself standing on the beach? Where in the name of all things holy was he? ... And how did he end up in that awful looking jumpsuit? No one would every pick such a thing to wear.

It was while he was wading out of the water that he full processed the communicator, the welcome message displayed. As he read it, he had to sit back down. First instinct reacted unconsciously to "prison". Brief flashes from the Galra prison danced across his vision for a moment before he pressed one hand to his forehead, forcing them back.

That list of absurd "crimes" almost instantly became the least important priority. Where was the black lion? Where were the other paladins? Had he really just been separated them right before they were supposed to fight Zarkon?! There was no way that they could assemble Voltron without him! This stupid place had pretty much killed the other paladins, Allura, Coran, all of them!

His hands tightened into fists as he glared angrily at the wall of water on the other side of the dome. Then with his metal arm, he punched the ground as hard as he could.

"Quiznak..."

[Video]
[It takes a bit before Shiro has collected himself in order to use the communicator, but this was very important. There's a concerned look on his face as he speaks]

So it seems that I have just arrived. I do have a few questions if someone can help me. I'm trying to find someone. Actually several people. Does anyone know if it is possible to figure out where they are?

Alternatively, is there any possible way to find out something that is going on back home? I need to know something that was going on back home.

	You can try sending them a private message on the network and see if they respond, but it might be better to just ask about them directly. As for finding out things from back home, you can ask for a video of things going on from the kiosk in Sector 0. It might cost you some rehab points, though. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Asking about them in case they aren't here and aren't going to hear it anyway? "Rehab points"? What are those? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, calling out. The thing is, there's not really a full on directory of everyone that's here. You can try the Post Office, as Duo'll have the most up to date list? But, even then, it's not fully accurate. I think someone used to keep track of the comings and goings, but then sort of just... Well, they disappeared, so the list disappeared with them.

[She gave him a somewhat sheepish and apologetic look. She wished she had better information than that.]

Rehab points are basically our reward system. We keep on good behavior. The Wardens give us points. They're not very forthcoming with how many points we earn for things or how many we might actually have in balance, but you can always ask for an item, and they'll tell you if you have enough points for it.

I know people have requested information from home before, so it's not an entirely unusual request for them. But, you have to go to the kiosk to do it. They won't answer you on the communicators.

	Then I'm sure they are not here because Keith didn't mention them. So contacting them is impossible? [He really does hate that word. Impossible] That's not going to work either. I just arrived so I doubt the wardens would be of any help. It's good to know how this place works though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah. Sorry. No outside calls.

[Piper shrugged a little.]

A few of have tried, and no success.

[She nodded a bit.]

Sure, no problem. Hey, if you're feeling up to it, I'm having a party over at the Sizzle N' Sear tomorrow night. You can always drop by. I do it the day after newbie day as often as I can. Think of it as kind of a 'welcome and we're sorry you're here' thing?

	I see... I wish I could know how they were doing after hearing what Keith told me. [Her invitation did bring a faint smile to his face] Thank you. That's nice of you. I'll come by. I'm Shiro. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: video trytobenormal 2017-03-28 10:46 am UTC (link)
	I'm Piper. Welcome to Marina, and uh... sorry you're here. [She chuckled a little.] So, you're from the same place as the other new kid from a few days ago? He seemed pretty intense for a kid his age. [Piper's mommy-instinct had kicked in at seeing another teenager arrive.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	video herdsspacecubs 2017-03-28 07:30 pm UTC (link)
	[That did get a faint chuckle from him] Thank you. An interesting welcome, but completely understandable. It's better than I would have expected at least. Yes, I am. He is another Paladin. He can be intense. Hopefully it will be a bit easier for him now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Easier? If he calms down, sure. [She chuckled.] He doesn't seem the type to let things go and settle in when in a situation like this. Though, I don't really blame him. I have things back home I want to get back to, also.

[She nodded.] I still hope that it'll happen someday, but I don't dwell on it every waking moment like I used to. It gets tiring to be like that.

	I think my being here will help. Based on what he told me, it was probably because of something that happened to me back home. [He gave her a faint smile] That would get tiring, especially when there doesn't seem to be any sign it is going to end. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: video trytobenormal 2017-03-30 10:28 am UTC (link)
	Oh? Something you want to share? [She nodded, chuckling slightly this time.] To say the least. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He says that after a fight, which I don't remember, they towed my Lion back to the Castle and I was gone. Just... vanished. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Okay. Piper was officially lost.] Lion? Castle? [Excuse her look of utter confusion.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	video herdsspacecubs 2017-03-31 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	[Yes some explanation is necessary] Keith and myself are Paladins of Voltron. We pilot robotic Lions that combine with three others to form Voltron. Our base is an Altean castle that travels through space. [Heavily condensed version] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: video trytobenormal 2017-04-02 12:53 am UTC (link)
	[More staring.] Right. You'd think I'd be used to weird things by now. I've been here long enough, but okay. Robotic Lions in a space-traveling castle. Got it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	video herdsspacecubs 2017-04-02 09:55 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, it does sound strange. I couldn't have made that up before we ended up being paladins. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She laughed a little.]

Well, I'm sure there are a lot of things in this place I definitely couldn't have made up before being here.

[Her own life aside, she'd seen way more than she thought possible since arriving.]

Space men, robots, weird creatures, mutants... you name it, it's been here. Not to mention some of the weird things this place does to you in a semi-regular basis.

But, you find all that out pretty fast.

	video herdsspacecubs 2017-04-03 08:53 pm UTC (link)
	This sounds like an interesting place. Perhaps not unlike the space mall that the others were talking about. Apparently a bit of everything. Weird things? What weird things? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: video trytobenormal 2017-04-04 08:33 am UTC (link)
	Oh, like suddenly waking up with dog ears or shrunken in size or aged older by twenty years or with new memories. It runs the gambit here. Soace mall? [Sorry, that got a slight giggle.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	video herdsspacecubs 2017-04-04 08:35 pm UTC (link)
	...What? Why do those things happen? Yeah, space mall. Coran needed something for the castle so he took the other four Paladins with him. He thought it was going to be some sort black market thing, but the Paladins called it a mall. So... space mall. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: video trytobenormal 2017-04-04 11:25 pm UTC (link)
	[She shrugged a little.] No one really knows. Glitches in the system are usually blamed, but sometimes their caused by other inmates. A mall... in space. [That got a small chuckle.] Well, I mean, I guess even aliens need to shop. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	video herdsspacecubs 2017-04-05 07:01 am UTC (link)
	Huh... such a weird place. Yeah, I guess they do, but it was a surprise for them. And somehow we ended up with a cow because of Lance and Pidge. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: video trytobenormal 2017-04-05 03:17 pm UTC (link)
	That's stating it lightly. [He'd find out soon enough.] Wait... a cow? On a spaceship flying castle thing? I can't imagine that's easy to take care of. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	video herdsspacecubs 2017-04-05 06:33 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, a cow. On a spaceship. And no it isn't easy having a cow around. Whatever possessed them to accept a cow as a free gift when they were buying a video game system, I don't know. Then again they are both teenagers so who knows what they were thinking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: video trytobenormal 2017-04-05 11:48 pm UTC (link)
	Free gift? Sounds like the shop owner might have been trying to get rid of it. But, what kind of shop sells video games and cows? [She chuckled at the teenager comment with a knowing nod. She remembered Phoebe's teenager years. Hoo boy, did she ever.] Yeah, definitely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
