Hijinks Mingle

Who: Everyone!
Where: Anywhere around the hub!
When: Days 103-105
Open/Closed: Open mingle!
Notes: See this post for details on the moon prompt and this one for the telepathy/dream/spirit prompts!



[A | Flower Gleam and Glow]
[The nearby moon is still passing close to the hub island, meaning the effects are still in play. Perhaps now is the time to stop and smell the large lit up sparkling moonflowers that have bloomed? Or be annoyed by the mosquito-like insects that came with them.

Alternatively, the deer seem to draw some sort of energy from the moon's light. Given their size, at least their sudden aggression and proximity to the base camp isn't the worst thing in the world but a kick would still break a rib or other bone so be careful! Possibly help each other deal with these cute but troublesome fauna.]



[B | Eavesdropping]
[For some reason, the telepathy will suddenly get rather wonky. Characters won't know why it's happening, though of course no doubt there will be ponderings, but it means characters won't be in control of their ability to broadcast — or more specifically, not broadcast — their thoughts. Time to find out secrets of an embarrassing nature. Or maybe something sadder is going on in your character's head.

If this wasn't bad enough, the area around the signet might experience burning or tingling. Just try to keep a lid on your brain for the day and distract yourself from any annoying pain.]



[C | Talking In Your Sleep]
[Or maybe your character just doesn't have the most interesting thoughts. Maybe they're busy thinking about pie instead of their upsetting childhood. That's fair. Pie is great.

But surely sometimes it haunts their dreams. With the telepathy running amuck, it's no wonder dreams and nightmares are leaking through, too. Of course, it doesn't have to be an accident. Feel free to grab a friend and share a fanciful dreamscape together on purpose! But for those nuts that are tougher to crack, accidents can and will happen.]



[D | Who You Gonna Call]
[Last but not least, as Friday rolls around, there seems to be something odd going on with the island. If your character is inclined towards the spiritual or supernatural, they'll no doubt notice the strange heavy thickness hanging around. There are whispers in the air and all of new energy just feels solemn. Might be good to give people a heads up and keep an eye on it.]

...Old Radiant settlements? So they populated your seas? [It makes sense considering the Legacy itself.]
rebells: (antebellum)

[personal profile] rebells 2017-10-31 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
The seas were theirs, strictly speaking. But yes.
spaceforged: (Past the limits)

[...]

I've asked a lot about your world. Is there anything you want to ask about mine? It doesn't feel right to hear so much and not offer something in return.

rebells: smile, amused (belle)

[personal profile] rebells 2017-10-31 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Careful about what you offer, there. I'm very curious.

[He says it playfully, though.]
spaceforged: (Good job team)

[personal profile] spaceforged 2017-10-31 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Shiro grins, his own tone slightly teasing.]

Wouldn't offer if I wasn't ready for that.
rebells: side view, talking, considering (umbelliferous)

[personal profile] rebells 2017-10-31 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
All right, then.

[He motions to the moon still hanging up there.]

Well, you mentioned your last mission. What happened there?
spaceforged: (Past the limits)

[personal profile] spaceforged 2017-10-31 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
The Galra did.

[He'd been prepared for this one. It's the most dreamed about thing he's got. Best to just tell it.] My commander, his son, and I were all captured. We were separated.

[He raps on the panel just as the sound of a crowd roars, putting it back to the moon.] I spent time as their prisoner for a year. I don't remember all of it. It still comes back to me in bits and pieces. Anyway, I escaped and returned to Earth to beat them to the Blue Lion of Voltron sleeping there.

I didn't know much then. Only that we couldn't let them have them.

[personal profile] rebells 2017-10-31 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[That was a little more trauma than he was expecting. He opts not to comment on it, other than a,]

I'm sorry to hear that.

Were you at war with the Galra, even then?
spaceforged: (I need another route)

[personal profile] spaceforged 2017-10-31 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh good, he doesn't have to say he doesn't want to discuss the trauma.]

The rest of the universe was. Earth is in the region of space not occupied by their forces. It would have become an occupied planet if we failed.
rebells: (antebellum)

[personal profile] rebells 2017-10-31 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
So that was the beginning of Earth's fight with the Galra, correct?

[He muses over that for a little bit. They seem to be a conquering sort of race, much like the trolls in Dirk's world. Universe. Multiverse.]

What are the Galra after? Just land and resources?
spaceforged: (We'll get through this.)

[personal profile] spaceforged 2017-11-01 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Resources and Voltron. It's one of the greatest weapons in our universe. Zarkon is obsessed with getting his hands on the Black Lion. Formerly, his lion. [Earth isn't in the fight but. Well.]

Earth isn't in the fight...just my team is. It's a long story.
rebells: side view, talking, considering (umbelliferous)

[personal profile] rebells 2017-11-01 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Voltron being your robotic lions?
spaceforged: (Past the limits)

[personal profile] spaceforged 2017-11-02 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
The lions are part of Voltron. We're linked to our lions. As we get to be better pilots and unlock their hidden powers, Voltron gets stronger. Black forms the main body. Control that and you control the entire thing.

[He places his hand on the panel, focusing his thoughts on Voltron.. The Lions roar as one, shaking the bridge with the force of the noise. Ghostly shapes settle into the other four chairs. Only their outlines but Shiro looks to them and smiles just a little. Even now they're still with him.]

Until recently Zarkon had the stronger bond with Black.
