Text Post Update from The Garrison Trio

[pidge_out]

[As promised, Pidge is putting up pictures of the little road trip that she, Lance, and Hunk have embarked on. It's a later update than she'd initially planned it to be, but better late than never, right? And in the interest of getting the news out to all of their friends (and Lance's friends, she doesn't even know who else that might include), Pidge makes them all available to the public.

There are photos as well as videos, and they're all absolutely ridiculous.

Posing with random objects that may or may not have been landmarks. 
Hunk cooking over a campfire making a peace sign at the camera. 
A bedtime selfie of the three of them all made up and wearing Lance's beauty masks.
Challenging each other to a hot sauce competition (which Pidge utterly lost, face red and tears in her eyes).
Singing songs with helium balloons.
Lance holding an impromptu "fashion show" with Pokémon themed outfits, Hunk cheering him on enthusiastically in the background.
Messing around with some of the Jennies.
Running from the Jennies. 
A clip of the three of them playing Chubby Bunny.
A shot of Lance and Hunk leaning on each other, asleep and drooling.
Hunk giving a sleeping Pidge a piggy-back ride.
A selfie of Pidge while Lance gives her a pedicure and Hunk brushes her hair.
Clips of Lance twerking on the back of a bicycle (Hunk frets to the side and Pidge snort-laughs while recording).
And also of him dancing while keeping up with a moving bicycle.
...and a lot more.

There's a lot. Over the last several weeks, these three have been up to complete and utter shenanigans. But, as their friends can no doubt tell from the pictures, they're doing well and having a great time.

These are Shiro's kids. Teenagers being teenagers. Welcome to Team Voltron.]

[Jean. Pidge definitely knows that name.]

oh. i didn't know that's what that place was called. isn't it on some kind of train?

[sunspotted]

it's on a train that... has leg-arms. that move it.

i'm not used to that part.

[pidge_out]

[W H A T]

i hadn't heard that part

[sunspotted]

[ WHAT indeed, pidge. ]

i'm surprised you haven't. yeah, it moves with some like... leg arm contraption things. i could probably take a video next time we move.

[pidge_out]

[Jezus H Kryst]

i've never actually seen it before. just heard stories about jean.

does it look kind of like a mechanical spider?

[sunspotted]

you've heard stories?

and sure, if a spider had a train car for a body and weirdly cartoonish legs.

[im_a_leg]

You were totally there, promise! It was... super weird. Keith had to deal with the weirdest parts though.

Uhh. I wonder if there's other stuff you should know. Do you want to know other stuff?

[Because Shiro sure didn't.]

[im_a_leg]

But it's so satisfying to see what's there and then see it all cleaned out.

It's like-- it's like looking at a huge pile of scrap and then seeing it all cleaned and sorted and built into something functional.

[shiro2hero]

Did you just compare your face to scraps?

[im_a_leg]

Not the whole face! Just the pores. The dirty, nasty pores.

[shiro2hero]

... now I want to go take a shower.

[Which means kicking Coran the Omanyte out of the bathroom.]

[pidge_out]

[They're more like complaints, but--] not many, but yeah

that sounds REALLY weird, but sure, whatever works for you guys

[pidge_out]

[Pidge pipes in at first with-] Yeah, you were there the whole time with us. [-but then trails off to just nod along at what he says.

And then-- Well. Hunk raises a good point. So she turns an expectant look on Lance.] It's totally fine if you don't, and-- I mean, Hunk knows more than I do. He's from further along than me.

[spacebaloney]

that sucks
and here i thought i had it bad having to go up against murderous aliens who wanted to take over the universe
at least the galra don't want to eat us
or i hope so
they're fucking weird so who knows what they want to do

[spacebaloney]

[Lance glances back and forth between Hunk and Pidge, trying to gauge their expressions on how to proceed. This could be bad or good. If Shiro died only to come back to life, what else happen? Who else died and didn't get that lucky?

He realizes that he doesn't want to know. Not anymore than he already does. He worries enough on how bad he messed up to get everybody caught up in trouble now, he doesn't need to worry about how bad he might possibly mess up in the future too.]

Just... tell me, is my family okay? Yes or no me, that's all I want to know.

[That's his biggest concern out of anything else. No need to add anxiety to his homesickness.]

[spacebaloney]

[If Shiro is trying to act like nothing's wrong, Lance can give it a try too. He takes a deep breath and shoots Shiro a crooked grin, hoping he's believable that everything is fine.]

How much do we have in the swear jar?

[spacebaloney]

sucks to be them
they'll know better not to chase after the amazing lancey lance next time

yuuko, that's why we have pidgey express and fed-exeggcute
if we can get pidge's peanut butter shipped to us on the road i can get some masks to you

[Also other things like some hand creams, conditioners, some nice warming eye masks and snacks because hell if Lance is sending her a skimpy box.]

[spacebaloney]

Aw come on, though. Don't judge us all by some onion breath dude who treated a queen like you wrong.

You're beautiful just the way you are. There's nothing to work on when you're starting with perfection already.

[Did he just wink at her? Yes. Yes, he did.]

[spacebaloney]

[For that hand, he throws one of Hunk's dirty socks at her head.]

Hater!

[spacebaloney]

hard pass
i just spent half a year in space and no way am i willingly going to go that long without my holy grails
and how are you a girl and you don't know what sunscreen and know that you can find cheap moisturizer because something is better than nothing at all?

oh and by the way my mom would strangle me if i ate bland food so again, skipping that

video;

[spacebaloney]

You know I do.

[Have some fingerguns, Maru.]

Hey, just looking out for my fellow man. I can't have you broadcasting in 1080p with dry crepey skin.

[icecastlemadonna]

Well, I can't say no to that point.

But if you're ever passing through Mahogany Town, you're welcome to stop by my place! I can cook something up for you if you want. [If he's willing to send her that much stuff, she has to return the favour somehow.]

[spacebaloney]

and even if you did i'd still send it
they don't call me tenacious for nothing

[No, they don't, Lance. No one calls you that. Annoying, however....]

sure thing
i can probably swing by and bang on your door for candy later this month too
or i think
you're from japan, right?
you guy do halloween there?

[lyingheart]

[ she resists asking if his mother would also strangle him for being a presumptive asshole, because that's not fair to his mother. ]

My world has none of these things. Instead of trying to understand why people aren't familiar with what's obvious to you, you actively insult me and anyone else from a different background than the one you know for not having had the same experiences as you did.

Let's not repeat this experience in the future, if you don't mind. My delicate feminine sensibilities won't bear up under the strain.

[spacebaloney]

[Oh, she totally would. His two older sister would as well. Please rest assure this is all Lance being a normal idiotic teenage boy and has no bearing how the quality of his raising.]

where do you live that doesn't have any of this
i'd like to make note to skip it
and no one's insulting you
i'm just saying most girls know about that stuff
even pidge knows about sunscreen and moisturizer even if i have to pay her in cookies to use it

are you always this uptight?

[Where is Shiro to slap Lance upside the back of his head?]
