The craziest show in the galaxy, yup.

Who: Takashi Shirogane, Keith, Lance, Katie “Pidge” Holt, and whoever else gets dragged into this madness.
When: November 10th (with possible additions later for Curti Center run ins)
Where: the Dream Width, and see above
What: When all save the former Black Paladin get pulled into the Dream Width within the span of a morning, it becomes an Adventure retrieving them.
Warnings/Notes: Spoilers up to the end of Season 7 of Voltron: Legendary Defender. Also game shows. I’ll add more if anything shows up.

It’s shortly after midnight when all three signals are caught by the Curti Center’s radar. Prior to that, however, there is another sign: the barriers of both Red and Green go down as both mechanical lions stir, a low rumble of a growl echoing among the two of them. Black looks up and roars. They’re back, but in trouble. Yet like with the two disappearances among their team before, there is no sign whatsoever of what lies ahead.

Just a signal, and three lions that desperately want to get off the ground and fly to their paladins.

Good thing you've got a master Astrologian on your side.

[ She's already setting to work sending a pretty steady stream of healing energy into him. Keeping an eye out for the others too. It looks like they all needed it. Man, what had happened to put them all in this bad a shape? Like... she knew they were in a war but... ]

Just... slow down okay? You look like you're gonna fall over.

[ Wow Keith, wow. See what she gets you for Starlight. ]

You say that like they're mutually exclusive.

[ Futaba glances back as well. ]

Well, you all came back linked at the elbows. Wouldn't be surprised if you came back close in other ways too.

[ ... that sounds so much like an innuendo but she means timeline-wise. For once. ]

[ ... your offering will please Queen Futaba. And Futaba makes a mental note to check in on Lance next, definitely.

Ah... that.... ]


... you guys are my friends.

[ She wasn't just. Going to leave them out there. ]

[ Even more same hat. Which she? Kind of wants to talk about? But it's really hard to tell when'll be a good time to bring it up. If now is anything of a good time at all.

Verbal shitposting is easier. ]


Oh you better believe it. Got some of everybody. Even Pidge tackling that Bob guy. I can send them all to you later.

Heh, can do.

[ And heyyyyy there's Shiro. Plus Keith's probably gotten a good amount of healing for now. Enough to hold him off until he can get horizontal. ]

Gonna go check on the others for now. See you in a bit.

[ ... she may steal a few pictures first though. ]

Hey.

[ Futaba... ends up flopping down on the floor instead, enough so she can rest her folded arms on the couch and rest her chin on them. For a minute or so she doesn't say anything. Not really sure how best to start. Then... ]

Let me know if you see Lance, okay? Shiro already knows most this stuff. Pidge too. It came up during...

[ She waves a hand vaguely, but given the two people in particular she mentioned, Keith'll probably be able to figure out that she's referring to a certain private conversation when Pidge started learning a certain custom job. Lance though... doesn't. And given a certain propensity for oversharing she noticed in the Red Paladin thus far....

There's... another long silence, and if Keith doesn't interrupt it himself, she'll begin, finally. ]

[ Deep breaths. This is... still so weird? How does she do this kind of thing, she honestly doesn't know. ]

I didn't really... talk to people for a long time. Nobody really liked 'the weird kid' who could do stuff like look at a shelf of books, and memorize all the titles. Or get perfect scores on her tests all the time. Then... stuff happened and...

[ She flinches a little. But that's what she's here to talk about. ]

I used to be Futaba Isshiki. Mom... died when I was thirteen. Never knew my dad. My bio dad, I mean. I've talked about my Dad before but that's Sojiro. Sojiro Sakura. He was Mom's best friend. Even he didn't... get me until a while after Mom died.

Yeah but-

[ She's not going to ever disagree about how good Sojiro is. She will defend her adoptive father to the death. But that wasn't what she was trying to go for here. ]

He, he saved me. He, and Ren and the others. Before, I... I didn't really have anybody. They... they're my family. More than my actual relatives.

[ She lifts a hand to fist it in her hair, feeling a bit frazzled. Probably looking it too. That's... more than she's admitted to most people, except Ren. And Sojiro. ]

And so I.... For a long time I just. I didn't talk to people. And I know there must've been other people out there who went through the same thing but it's still... I don't really know how to talk about it well. But... it's not the same but I get it. Nobody being there and you having nobody but yourself but feeling like you're not-

[ Not good enough. Not worth it. That kind of feeling. That kind of loneliness. And just. ]

I-If anybody tries to give you a hard time about it, I'll kick their ass.
