New Bark Town

[Romelle knocked on the door of the house she'd just been kicked out of several times.]

Excuse me?! But I still have questions! What am I supposed to do? How do I get home?

[She was going to keep doing that until someone stopped her...]

Why am I having this dream again?!

Route 29

[Romelle had set off as suggested, wandering along to explore. The map helped a little? And she had a general idea that she needed to go to Cherrygrove City, which was apparently just straight ahead. So, sure... she could go that way.

Of course, her first couple of encounters with wild Pokemon didn't exactly go smoothly. She probably could use some help. She was going to run away or something from most of them. Stufful was very vexed and confused by this.]

Cherrygrove City

[Between the Mart, the Center, the Inn, and the beach, Romelle was already kind of okay with this. The Inn even had a spa! It was a small little place, though, and Romelle probably wouldn't linger long, but it was a good place to rest and get some sleep in a bed after her trek along Route 29...]

=====

[The video opened up with a familiar blond that some might know or some might have seen during the crazy whacky weekend a while back (if the dream isn't too fuzzy for you). However, she looked a little confused and perhaps a bit worried. If you knew her before, she won't remember you, sorry. She was doing her best!]

It seems I'm having this dream again, but things have gotten to a point where I'm beginning to think it might not be a dream. I didn't remember it while I was awake, but I do now, and I'm hoping to find a few of my friends. They were here in my dream...

But, my name is Romelle. I think... I think some people might know me? Someone told me that I've been here before. I do apologize. I don't remember it.

[The man on the screen looks perfectly human, except for the brilliant gold of his irises. His questions might imply something else, however.]

Pardon the question, but those marks... Are you Altean?

[Romelle stared back for a moment. Not many humans knew about Alteans, and Romelle was pretty sure she'd met most of them, but... his eyes...]

Ah, yes... I am. Have you met me before? Or perhaps Princess Allura?

[As the dream was definitely fuzzy, Romelle did remember that Allura had been here, too. So, maybe he knew Alteans that way?]

I have never met an Altean in person. But I am a Blade of Marmora, and we were working with Voltron, and her Highness, at the time I was brought here. I'm told that time has passed in our home reality since.

[Thace's smile is almost non-existant, but he's had enough time to process and is covering with dry humor.]

Galra are very different from Earthlings, although I'm starting to suspect that whatever changes arrivals into Earthlings only has a passing familiarity with the species.

[The idea that a Blade would not necessarily look like a Galra wasn't foreign to Romelle. After all, the first two Blades she met were Krolia and Keith. She nodded a little.]

I've not met many Blades, but it is good to meet another.

[Romelle knew how hard it could be to go against the status quo. What the Blades were doing was hard, but honorable.]

Possibly. Though, I can say that I've noticed a difference in some things. I might not look any different, but I feel different. You know? [There were certain things that Romelle could do back home that she couldn't here. Her reduced endurance for walking long distances seemed to be one of the things she'd noticed almost right away.]

As I am very glad to learn that even one more Altean survived Zarkon's treachery.

[He considers that for a moment.]

My senses and my physical ability is all very much changed. Knowing that it extends to even those who kept their appearance has interesting implications.

[One? Then Thace didn't know of her colony. Granted, Romelle had discovered that really no one knew about the colony, but that was kind of by design. A prison to keep them "safe". She nodded a little.]

There are more of us... [A fair number of them, in fact.]

It does. Whether they know about humans or not, it seems fair to say that they're decently close in their approximations.

[Thace knows nothing about the colony and is taking that as only very good news.]

Perhaps a being for which details physical appearance means less than other things. There's nothing to be done to change it now, to my knowledge, so we'll have to continue to adapt.

[Romelle nodded in agreement.]

Yes. We will. [She gave him a tiny smile. At least he could understand. Neither of them were used to functioning at the physical level of a human, and he likely had it even worse as a Galra. He was probably a lot shorter than he was used to.] But, adapting isn't all that bad, right?

No, it hasn't been. Whatever else this place might be, I have found great contentment in my new companions.

[That got a smile, too.]

That's wonderful. [It must have been strange to have something so close to relative peace if he was part of the Blade of Marmora. She knew they had a hard time doing what they were doing. She wasn't sure just how much Thace knew about what had happened to a lot of them thanks to Macidus, but that was more on Keith to be the one to decide on telling him.]

It must be nice to have a good bond.

It is good, yes. Comforting. And they are so fascinating. There are always new surprises.

At the risk of upsetting the others, do you have a favorite, yet?

[Romelle looked a little amused.]

[Thace chuckles]

I think the collective favorite of all of us is Vruli. Perhaps because she is the youngest of all my family, excepting one egg I was given.

An egg? That's how Pokémon procreate, right?
