Feeling My Way Through the Darkness (Intro Catch-All)

Who: Princess Allura and YOU!
Where: Route 29, Cherrygrove City, and Four Island
When: Around October 10
Summary: In which the Pokémon world gets a new Space Elf Lion Princess (again) and settles in... while getting a crash course in backpacking.
Rating: PG-13 for cussing and really nasty Voltron elements... and apparently Pidge and Lance being TOO MARRIED. (Season 6-8 spoilers for Voltron: Legendary Defender in some threads)


A. Guided By a Beating Heart (Network, Video)

[Well... waking up in the strange house alone had been unnerving, to say the least, especially with the woman blithely claiming to be Allura's mother... Too many fresh wounds involving her own parents, or too-cheery simulacra of parents... But at least this almost-mother wasn't trying to make her stay, or drive a spaceship into a supernova. In fact, it was almost a relief to be shoved out the door.

At the very least she should check this network, see how much of this is a dream or illusion, how much a hostage situation. She means to start composing a text message (at least she can make out the keyboard, thank goodness for the PokéGear's translator function), when a tiny white nose presses a different button, and the first thing people might see is an intense close-up of a white Vulpix face before humanoid hands start to pull the body away from the camera.]


Ah ah ah, little one, that isn't--

[The gentle but firm correction freezes when oh. ... The little blinking is on... complete with a camera preview...]

... Ahem! [This is fine, she can salvage this, she's not nervous you're nervous!] Greetings. I am Allura, Paladin of the Blue Lion. [She thinks half a tick later that maybe she should have kept that under wraps in case this whole situation had something to do with the Galra, but... it seems peaceful here. Besides, after the string of Coalition shows, it'd be hard to keep her identity a secret.] I seem to have arrived on this planet rather unexpectedly. The... gracious woman in the house I found myself in... was able to provide some instructions and supplies, but any further assistance- especially in terms of the sociology and technology levels of this planet- would be much appreciated.


B. I Can't Tell Where the Journey Will End (Action, Cherrygrove City)

[Of course, sleeping outside on cold, hard ground for three nights straight with only a nylon bag and Coressa's fluff for comfort was draining on her. Even with everything she's lost, at least in the Castle of Lions she still has the luxury of sleeping in her own bed, with perfectly comfortable bedding and a mountain of pillows... and she's missed having the mice to sleep on the pillow next to her, even with Coressa's company. So you might find a tall young woman with bags under her eyes and a very, very messy mop of moon white curls looking at the entrance spa with envy.]

No, no, no... I have no idea how long it will be before I find a way home, I need to manage my resources wisely. ... Even if it has been ten thousand years since I've had a proper massage...

[And that crick in her neck could definitely use one... Still, she's suffered worse, she can endure this much.]


C. But I Know Where to Start (Attack on Voltron House)

[The ride from Cherrygrove to Four Island had been interesting... especially once Allura stopped panicking that there was no way this three-foot-seven cloud bird could possibly hold the weight of two fully-grown Altean women together. It took a full ten minutes before she reached that point, and even once they reached solid ground, Allura had to pry herself away from Romelle and her Altaria. (Maybe it was a good thing her super strength was taken away...)

But now she’s on solid sand and... actually, this beach is rather pretty. The shore nestled in on all sides with cliffs while the sea and sky stretched on and on in sapphire and turquoise. ... The lack of any of Altea’s stealth predators or rarely-surfacing sea monsters helped with the view, although she’s sure this place has its own odd fauna.

And the house... it’s still so odd to think of her friends being in this world long enough to have a residence, not just shelter. But it looks safe and peaceful, even quaint, and at least large enough to hold her without being too crowded. It helps that she and Coressa have been traveling light.]


So... this is our house?

[Come welcome your old-new housemate, guys.]


D. So Wake Me Up When It's All Over (Wildcard)

...




They eloped.
shiro2hero: (guys i am so tired)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2021-10-15 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
... Elope?

[Ohhhh no. Oh no. Why... why couldn't they just get married like normal people...]

It means - it means they ran off and got married.

In secret.

A while ago, now.

[Yeah, same here, Allura. Really. Shiro even had a similar reaction, and he had time to get used to them dating. Then... he'd come home and Pidge was wearing a ring and Lance was talking about his wife and...]

[Well.]

[It was complicated. For him. Selfishly so.]


They're happy, though. That's - really all that counts, huh?
shiro2hero: (oops accidentally charming)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2021-10-16 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... Yeah, that's where I was too.

It's still kind of weird to think about. But they make each other happy.
shiro2hero: (DENSER right it's denser thanks son)

He's a good guy. He just... lets his mouth run out ahead of his brain most of the time. But he's learning.

[Sort of. We'll just... disregard the Auction Fiasco for the moment.]
shiro2hero: (im so proud of u nerd)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2021-10-17 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm glad to hear it.

[Any good news from their world is welcome. When people woke up after their... dreams, sometimes, it always seemed to be the opposite.]

I know I probably already said it, but. It's good to see you. Really good.
shiro2hero: ([sappy song lyrics here])

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2021-10-19 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Did anyone give you directions to the island? I can hang out here, at the house, and wait for you.

Or you can travel on your own for a bit, if you want.
shiro2hero: (time for a car trip children)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2021-10-20 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
All right - We're on Island Four. The one with the observatory, if you need more specifics. They have flying pokemon taxis I think, if you need them.

Cherrygrove is nice. You might meet some more pokemon while you're there.
