The craziest show in the galaxy, yup.

[balancingedge]

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.

While Lance is easy to distract, he doesn't so much as twitch at the sound of a voice that shouldn't be there. There's still a game to play, and he's looking at Bob intently as the alien continues on.

"Let's give Lance a round of applause," and the audience complies, "He is a great sport. Norlox, tell Lance what the next warfler is."

"The next warfler is Faces From The Past!" There's a dramatic drumroll, and after prodding at Lance and calling him a beautiful dumdum, he begins explaining the rules. The game is simple enough - Lance will be shown pictures of people he's met, and he needs to name them. Every name he gets right gets him a goolian credits.

And then the isolation shield comes down. It's a tube that drops from the ceiling faster than Lance can react - mostly transparent, except for the top, where it looks like it's connected to some sort of mouth. "Perfect! Now, let's see our first face from the past," Bob says, as the screen begins to cycle through portraits of several different aliens before it finally stops.

"We've been spotted!" The vehicle swerves at it gets shot from behind, the driver - a woman dressed in uniform, similar but not as sleek as the armor Lance wears - tries to avoid the blasts from the ships chasing them. "Watch out, okay. Be careful!"

"I know!" the woman shouts. A voice pipes up through their comms - Shiro. "Lance, where are you? Can you hear me?"

"Whoa - Veronica, look out!" Lance yells but it's not enough, it's too late, and their wheel gets hit. The ATV goes rolling through the sand and everything goes dark.

"This is easy," Lance says, though he sounds unsure. "That's Koli- wait. What?"

"Lance? Lance, come in!" The words are faint and tinny and there's a ringing as Lance pushes himself up from the sand. The ATV is a wreck, and he was sent far from it. He hurts, but the important thing is- is- "Veronica?"

The woman lies nearer the remains of the ATV, and she's not moving.

"Veronica!" He runs across the sand and rock towards her, and Lance reaches out for her. She shifts, looking up at him, and relief is obvious in his voice as he sighs out that she's okay. Which is, of course, when the sentries show up and open fire.

"Uh." Lance looks to Keith, a little desperately. "Blade...y?"

[balancingedge]

"It's Antok." The Blade who went with Kolivan to them and fought alongside him and Allura against Haggar and the Druids. He fell in that conflict, and this Keith slowly recalling why he hates this sitting around and attempting to give Lance hints. So much. Also why he took the handbook and wrote down all their names beneath the Blades who were listed as fallen. Someone had to.

But he remembers that memory shown. He remembers trying to reach him when the communications suddenly went down. He frowns. So that's what happened on Lance's end. They should have accounted for Red being a drama king, just like their paladin. "Lance, don't try to answer immediately!" He shouts, hoping using a louder volume will get through. He remember him mentioning hearing the audience once. "Bob's toying with you to make you look like you're the dumb one he and Zarkon insist you are. He'll keep switching them from one you know to one you don't until you stop immediately begin answering when it slows!"
