Who: Keith and residents of Sevii Island
Where: Sevii Islands
When: Throughout March
Summary: Keith is new and has to meet whoever's been looking after his friends. Probably specific log starters later in the month who knows.
Rating: G? Probably PG? We Just Don't Know




A. Do You Wanna Ride?

The little bit of sleep he got at Cherrygrove didn't really prepare him for the flight over. Sure, the speed and actual flight itself didn't bother him much, but the length of time it took wore him down again. Maybe a solid day of sleeping would do some good. Keith watches the change in weather as they get to the islands. He's accepted this is real and not delirium. But it doesn't stop astounding him. This is where they've been all this time.

The minute he's landed, Keith is getting his litten out of its ball. He hadn't wanted to put her back in there, but it was the best way to travel with her over this long a distance. But they're out and about on the beach, exploring the immediate area on the way to the house and getting a look at the island.

B. Hidden in the Sand

So, after a solid eighteen hours of sleep, Keith feels a little refreshed. Enough to explore a bit further. The water is .... okay, but not really to his liking. So Keith goes the opposite direction, inland and to the trees. His litten seemed insistent to walk before him, listening in for anything. It's almost cute.

"Come on, I'm sure there's nothing out here." If Matt and Shiro both live out here, it's bound to be safe. Probably.

Except when there absolutely is. Litten stops and arches her back, growling when there's a rustle up ahead. Keith wishes he had his knife, but there's only so much you can do against -- a ball? His shoulders drop a little as he watches this red-and-white ball roll closer, then stop. Then turn to face them with an actual face. And then there's a second. And a third, fourth.

He's already losing count.

"Uh."

How are you supposed to wrestle a ball?

C. First Transition

If Keith isn't outside or asleep, he's in whatever common room is set up in the house. Studying was never his strong suit, most of it going over his head. He's better at practical application, learning things by doing. But in this case, that would only get his litten hurt. Not something he wants to risk. So Keith will try things the nerd way: sitting and reading, trying to cram all this into his head and keep it there. Pokemon, pokemon types, pokemon skills, pokemon natures, and abilities and levels and evolutions - it's a lot.

And he's only gotten through what he's been able to record on the island itself, which isn't much. He growls looking through the dex, his little lifting her head only to lay down again.

"This is stupid."

It'd be better to just walk out the door and do this himself. But that soft purring against his leg on the couch is the only thing keeping him from doing it.

[ooc; if you'd like something specific, let me know and I'll toss up a starter! Going to be using this throughout March.]

Hunk is a mix of anxiety and sheer excitement. While he is super, duper glad to have Keith here in this strange world with Shiro, Matt and himself, he is also nervous about the whole part where the other teen doesn't know anything about Voltron. Or all the trials and adventures they've been through together. If he dwells too much on it, part of him becomes rather sad about the whole thing.

After all, they had spent so much time together in space, as part of team Voltron. For Keith to not know about any of that... Shaking those thoughts out of his head, he instead focuses on what he can do here instead. If they were able to become buddies back home, they could certainly forge a new friendship here in this world as well!

When Keith first makes it to the island, Hunk is out training with his team. By the time he's gotten back to the home they all share, Keith is dead asleep. Something Hunk definitely approves of considering he did much the same when he first arrived at the island himself. While his soon to be re-friended buddy catches some good Z's, Hunk gets his team to help him make a little welcoming card for Keith. They all sign it, even though Chuchule almost sets it on fire with her flamethrower attack (why that was her favorite, Hunk will never know).

So, whenever Keith finally does awaken, he will see a hand-drawn card of Hunk and himself in their respective yellow, and red paladin uniforms. Next to Hunk is the yellow lion and his rockruff Shay. With Keith is the red lion and his litten. Above them in bubble letters reads: WELCOME TO THE ISLAND KEITH!

Inside the card is a cartoonish drawing of Voltron itself with a little welcoming note: I know we come from different points of time, but I know we'll be best bros in NO time!! Whatever you need let me know. I'll do my best to help :)

Your Soon To Be (Old) New Friend Hunk!!

Should Keith venture out into the house, he will find Hunk either in the living area trying to keep K.J. the Aron from eating something he's not supposed to, or trying to train Chuchule to stop smacking others.

WILDCARD... A ish

You know what?

Sometimes pokemon are as dumb as people. Meaning, they don't notice when things change. They don't expect to waltz into their trainer's room and not find their big dorito-shaped trainer not in his mattress bed. Blue, the newly evolved Gallade, just saunters right on in, carrying an entire hammock over his narrow little shoulder. Look, Shiro told him to go find one, so he did.

... he stole it out of someone else's yard, but that's beside the point.

Only to stop dead in the doorway when it's clear that is not Shiro on the mattress-floor-bed. He sort of sideways shuffles over. Darts around the sleeping human. Who even is this?

And so, taking a page out of the book he was named after, Blue... proceeds to poke the sleeping Keith.

With one ridiculously long arm.

C-ish (Also, excuse you, there is a space hobo too.)

It's about two in the morning when Matt comes in, hair messy, sand covering his shoes, but grinning to himself in the stupid way he does when he's pleased with himself. There's a tiny ghost on the top of his head, wearing what might be a Voltorb costume, Kerberos rolling behind him. He looks every bit an absent-minded professor.

When he gets in, Mimi, the Mimikyu floats down to the floor to sit on Kerberos, quietly watching the newcomer in the house. Matt walks over, glancing at Keith's work.

"Well, look at that. He has figured out how to open a book." It's fond, he swears.

The arrival of a new Litten in the house cannot pass by without a proper inspection by one of the resident Incineroars. And here comes one now.

Magellan slinks around the couch on all fours --which yes, looks absolutely every bit as ridiculous as you expect it to-- his ears twitching forward in interest. Not towards Keith, mind you. The human gets a short glance over before being dismissed. Too short and skinny looking, probably no good for wrestling. No, Magellan's interest is on the little Litten. His whiskers twitch as he approaches, his head held low so it is more or less on eye-level with the other little cat, a rough rumbling purr building in his throat.

Keith, please enjoy your first encounter with the 6 foot tall muscle beast your small cat will one day turn into.

B, for the Voltorb love

[notvaljean]

HOW INDEED? How does one wrestle with a single Voltorb, let alone a herd of them?

This is an excellent question, and one every Pokemon who lives on Attack on Voltron island needs to learn. Especially when, from amidst the horde of red and white balls, there emerges a white and red ball, rolling imperiously out from between them to examine Litten.

It's Blitz, the Fatherlord of all the Voltorbs on the island, coming to investigate this newcomer. Please pay no attention to how, despite being an Electrode, he's only a little bit bigger than his Voltorb brethren. He may be small, but he is mighty and fierce.

He's also the only one with a mouth and eyebrows, both of which are scowling at Keith. Who the hell are you?
