[While most people are still asleep, Lance is on the grind. Like, literally. He's standing in the bathroom of the Attack on Voltron house, clad in the Starmiebucks' uniform with the nice circular logo of a Starmie in the center of the apron, flashing a dazzlingly white smile at the camera even if it's just after dawn and most people are still asleep and the poor souls who are awake aren't even thinking about popping fingerguns at the network like he's actually doing right now, oh my god. His hair is laid and his face is moisturized to perfection, sunscreen and high quality lip balm and all. Someone's gotta make the Latias Lattes and it's gonna be him. Lance might as well look good while doing so.]
Hello, world! I'm Lance and this is my announcement that today, the best leg of Voltron, the right blue one, is gainfully employed at your local Starmiebucks. [He cups his ear, feigning deafness because he's also dramatic as well as being a moron.] Wait? What's that? What's Voltron? Oh, just a gigantic robot that's currently saving the entire universe back at home, one Galra at a time.
[Christ, who was idiot who hired this braggart fool? Fire them and him.]
Anyway, this week, we're running a half-priced special on your favorite Pokéccino and with every one purchased by a pretty face, you get a chance to win a date with me, Lance the Blue Pala-
[Enjoy that sudden high pitched shrill scream that can probably be heard for miles as the 'gear clatters to the floor and the sound of Lance scrambling along the floor is heard following it. All the camera catches is one blue tentacle slowly retreating back behind the shower curtain, leaving droplets of water in its wake.]

[Hunk rubs at an eye, fighting back a yawn.]
It's good to see you though, buddy. I've really missed you. How, uhm, how long have you been here?
no subject
[When Lance asked where Hunk was, he was told Hunk went on a trip to explore. And that was pretty much it. Hunk going off by himself in a strange land by himself sounds new, but Lance has seen how far his friend has come from being scared about everything. Plus if Hunk's been here as long as Shiro has, that's plenty of time to grow out of bad habits.
Lance rubs the back of his neck as he looks up in thought.]
Mmmm, a couple days? Shiro came and got me and brought me here to the house. Haven't done much outside of that and finding a job.
[And getting beat up by his starter, but we won't talk about that.]
no subject
[Better Lance learns about this sort of thing now, rather than later. Hunk remembers when he first learned about from Jean. Probably a good thing he did learn about it then. Otherwise he would be a lot more panicky right about now.]
At least I think it's been about a month. That's what the nurse lady said.
no subject
[So far, Lance was under the impression this place was generally on the up and up and while a few things were brand new to him yet still acceptable, weird coma sleep ain't one of them.]
You slept. For a whole month. Outside. For no reason. And you're okay with that? Dude. That's not okay!
[Because Hunk is really calm about this, disregarding how tumbled he looks. Lance certainly would not be, but then again, Lance doesn't know the meaning of the word calm on a good day.]
no subject
[Hunk brings a hand up to rub at a temple.]
I just don't have enough energy to properly panic. Also, someone else told me about this sort of thing, so... I know it's just something weird that happens here in this place.
no subject
[Lance's tone turns to concern. His best bud is out there, fresh from a sleep coma, and he looks and feels rough. No way he's going to leave Hunk out there to fend for himself, Pokecenter or no.]
It just happens? And no one knows why? That's pretty messed up, man.
no subject
[Tapping at his gear, he pulls up his map to see just where he's at.]
Looks like I'm in Cerulean City. You don't gotta come and get me though. I, uhm, I should be able to make it back to the Sevii Islands on my own.
[He doesn't want to bother Lance or the others with coming to get him. As much as he wants to see his friends. Traveling in this world isn't as simple as hopping into a lion or a space pod after all.]
no subject
[Even if Hunk can find his way home, Lance can see he's not in the best of conditions. What if he falls into another sleep coma and is left to the mercy of wild Pokemon? Lance can't let his best friend go out like that.
But he's poking through the map himself and Cerulean is farther than he though. Way father. Like in Kanto farther. It'll take days to get there even if he flew part of the way. The sound he makes sounds like one of defeat and consideration.]
That's pretty far from here... I guess I could ask Shiro what we should do.
no subject
Stupid sleep coma thing.]
Well, maybe we could meet in Vermillion city? There's a ferry there that goes between the mainland and the islands I think. It costs money, but I can pay you back! I... I'd really like to see you dude.
no subject
A quick peek at the map again and Lance nods. Still a long trip with some island hopping, but it's less time than the first option and at least this way, Hunk can get the rest of the sleep out of his system with a bit of traveling.]
Don't even worry about it. I got enough cash. [Not much, but enough.] Besides, if I'm not going to spend it to see my bro, what else am I going to spend it on?
[Expensive hair care, another silk robe, face masks, some good earplugs... the list goes on.]
no subject
[Hunk gives a soft laugh at that, all to easily able to imagine the list of beauty care items Lance would drop a pretty penny on.]
But... I would really appreciate you meeting me in Vermillion. Like really, really appreciate it, buddy. It's been way too long since I've gotten to have a bro hug with my number one amigo.
no subject
[Don't even say it, Lance. Don't even say. Shiro is right around the corner somewhere waiting to bean you in the head over your language. It's the only reason why Lance cuts himself off.]
Anyway, I'll head over there after work? I'd go now, but if I don't show up for my first day, I'm probably gonna get canned. You okay hanging out there until then?
no subject
Gosh, he can't wait to see them all again.]
No worries, my man. It will probably take me a couple of days to get down there anyways. Good luck on your first day. The uniform looks great on you, by the way. I bet you'll get tons of girls phone numbers working at the coffee shop!
no subject
[Or rather they'd be beating him off with a stick just to get away from him.]
Stay cool, alright? And let me know if you need anything.
no subject
See you soon.
