» It's how the waves can change their form...

Who: The Voltron crew and their esteemed +1s
Where: Eterna City Resort Hotel's restaurant
When: Monday, August 17
Summary: Just a team doing team things over expensive small servings
Rating: Well, Lance is here so there's gonna be some cussing and innuendo, so PG-13.
Log:


Thankfully that Lance had the presence of mind to slap down a nice fat deposit to tempt the Eterna City Resort Hotel staff into setting aside the best and biggest table they have for a long overdue Team Voltron bonding session before going upstairs and blowing the rest of his trainer's savings on a room for him and Pidge for the next two weeks.

Unfortunately for all, this means that they're all on their own for whatever they eat and drink, including what Lance eats and drinks (But isn't that why one has a spouse to pay their portion of the bill?) Everybody can say Lance loves the finer things in life and that his tastes run to the pricier side of them, but no one can say he's much of an event planner. Or a planner at all.

That is why he's the one sending out dinner invites to the team, not leading them into war.

"Slavery is foul, but far too common in the Empire."

Thace pauses for a long moment and then sighs. "Everyone I've talked to insists that the Pokemon want and enjoy this, but I'm reminded at every turn of the inequality of the situation. The balls... may just be a case of technology not having caught up with needs. I can see where it would be useful just for the reduced size aspect, especially with larger species. And at least every Pokemon I've traveled with is perfectly capable of getting out of the balls on their own if they really want to. They can't get out of storage though, and the system forces storage on us if we befriend more than six. And as far as I can tell, six is completely arbitrary?"

Romelle didn't have more than six, yet, but she considered the number for a moment.

"I suppose it is. I've not heard of anyone using a larger number, but you can go with less."

Though, why one would...

"Not every one of them seems to like being in the balls, but also not all of them hate it. And, apparently, there are some fancy ones if you have the money to spend on them. I've seen different kinds, but I haven't been able to get any, yet."

Luxury balls were a thing, after all...
insidegalra: (Look upon it and have hope.)

"Before some of mine had balls, I traveled with seven. The restriction really is very arbitrary. After the plane, however, I have to have at least one in storage, or in my room at the inn."

Thace nods. "There is a man in Azalea town who makes handmade balls from Apricorns. When I get the chance I will go talk to him. Handmade is more trustworthy than mass produced, at least for me."

"That sounds like a good idea," Romelle said. "I've heard of apricorns. They're similar to berries in that you find them on trees and bushes, right?"
