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)
[[Got something in mind not listed in the prompts? Hit me up on my OOC Intro or on Plurk at
no subject
I saw the holos of some of your Altean fauna. They were definitely- [Scarier.] -more intense than most of the Pokémon here.
no subject
[A soft chuckle.]
Indeed. The safety is for younger Altean children. Once they had progressed enough in their self-defense training, it would be turned off so they could also practice maintaining composure in dangerous situations.
no subject
...You know, I think "intense" might not be a strong enough word for some aspects of Altean culture.
[You're kind of terrifying, is what it is, really. But even Pidge isn't about to say that out loud to the princess's face.]
no subject
[LOOK, she hadn't been kidding when she said an Altean child could beat that training program! Maybe stretching it just a tad for drill sergeant purposes, but not by much.]
You aren't wrong. Altea was a very harsh environment. There's a reason we developed particle barriers before flight.
[But then her smile grows nostalgic.]
Still... I like to think it brought out the best in us. We couldn't overcome challenge by strength alone, so it sharpened our minds and ability to learn from past experiences, and every member of the group was vital for survival, so it strengthened our ability to work together and sort out differences peacefully. And life became precious, for we knew how fragile it could be, so we learned to be kind.
no subject
[And then she chuckles a little, tucking some loose hair behind her ear.] You know, it's nice to hear you talk more about Altea. Back home we were always so busy and on alert, we only ever asked when it was something we needed to know.
[In retrospect, that seems unfair of them. The team knew they could trust each other implicitly, knew what kind of people they all were, their strengths and weaknesses. But times where they could just sit and talk like normal friends did were rare and far between. It was unfortunate, and now that Pidge has noticed it, she hopes it's something they can change.]
no subject
[Oh... that... that actually makes her heart warm and smile soften. She and Pidge have never been particularly close outside of battle, especially since Arus. But hearing the other girl say that...]
Thank you, Pidge. That... actually means a lot to me. [A soft shake of her head.] Although I don't blame you. Not only are we busy, but... at the start, everything was so fresh, and I had just appointed myself as your commanding officer after recruiting you for this conflict. To be honest, it took some time for me to think I could have those interactions with you all.
no subject
I, uh. I've never been the most social on the team, so it was kind of hard for me, too. In a different way, obviously. [Less about being uncertain of her place, and more about... just being a little socially inept.] I'm trying - I've been trying to do better, but there's still... a lot of stuff I miss. So- So you can tell me if I mess something up or say something wrong, okay?
[And Pidge sincerely means that. She and the princess in particular have had fewer opportunities to bond the way they probably should, and being here in Pokémon world for so long has made Pidge particularly eager to strengthen her friendships. The time everyone spends together here is always unpredictable; it's one of the main reasons she decided that eloping with Lance first was a safer bet than to keep waiting until the big ceremony.]
no subject
[Awww... she makes her way over to Pidge's side, resting a hand on the... woman's shoulder. (It's weird to think of Pidge as technically older than her now, even though she supposes it would've happened eventually.)]
It really is all right, Pidge. As I said, I'm not the most well-versed at this either. The fact that we have the chance now means the world to me.
no subject
Yeah. Me too.
[At this point Rover chimes in with a pleased toot-toot - Me too! - and it makes Pidge laugh a little. She shakes her head a little, lets out a breath, and refocuses herself.]
Come on. I'll show you upstairs and you can pick out your room.
no subject
[And follow upstairs she shall, Coressa hopping daintily up the stairs at their heels.]
Speaking of learning of other cultures...?
[... Naaaaah surely there's no hilt in that hanging sentence.]
no subject
Yeah? What is it?
no subject
Are there any human traditions for wedding gifts or celebrations I should be aware of?
1/?
no subject
no subject
no subject
DONE
no subject
[KARMA. Allura can't help but laugh at those FACES!]
Oh come now, Pidge! Why can't I ask you?
no subject
[Pidge's face is SO RED. Why are you embarrassing her like this, Allura?!]
1/2
[Okay okay, she'll let up with another laugh.]
I'm merely teasing, Pidge. Well, that and wishing to make sure I celebrate your wedding properly, since I missed it.
2/2
... Not to mention I'm a bit terrified of what answers Lance might give me... "TMI," I think Hunk would put it?
no subject
TMI is right, and that... is a totally fair point.
[She chews on her lip for a second, just thinking.] Sorry, I... I haven't really thought a lot about the wedding ceremony part. I know it's important, and us eloping kind of messed things up, but party planning isn't my thing.
no subject
[Another bemused smile.]
Somehow I'm not surprised... but not in a bad way. As long as you two are happy. I still would at least like to be able to give you something, or anything else you two might need or want.
