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)

Yeah. I think Armin said they were younger than Pidge when they join the army.

[It had been a conversation long ago. Difficult to recall exactly the numbers. He just remembers it was young. Too young. Far too young.]

Hey, no problem. I'm here to help you - in any way I can. That includes keeping you updated -

[He was ready to launch into some speech. To be supportive, as usual. But something rolls into the room, literally. Something soft and fat and shaped like a cheerful beach ball.]

[A Spheal!]


- Oh! Hey, Europa.
shiro2hero: (aw lookit the kids suplex each other)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2021-10-22 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
[MISSION ACCOMPLISHED - according to the Spheal. She uncurls a bit, and slaps the ground excitedly with one flipper. Hello! Hello hello! She is here! Hello friends!]

Allura, this is Europa. She's one of mine.

[He'll just kneel down to give her some scratches behind those stubby little ears.]
shiro2hero: (shit i can't believe that worked)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2021-10-22 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
[There is... so much happy Spheal barking. And clapping. Yes, yes, hello! Hello new friends! Please pet!]

She's probably one of the friendliest I have - don't be surprised if she rolls into your room to say hi sometimes.
shiro2hero: (im so proud of u nerd)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2021-10-22 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
[This pat delights Europa even more. She barks again, wiggling where she sits.]

Yeah, she's an ice type. Ice and water. I found her a while back with her flipper missing...

[But that clearly has not stopped the happy round bean. She just wiggles her prosthetic at Allura and her Vulpix. See? I'm fine!]
shiro2hero: (aw lookit the kids suplex each other)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2021-10-23 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
Hah, maybe.

Or maybe she already had it.

[Europa just settles into a pleased spheal blob. Like a cat loaf. Except she doesn't have legs, so. Blob.]

A lot of mine are too big to fit in the house... but she's always been around when someone needs a boost.
shiro2hero: (oops accidentally charming)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2021-10-23 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[... that's a very good question.]

Double digits, for sure. [He's lost track, whoops.] I'm not much of a collector... most of mine just turn up, or someone gives me an egg.
shiro2hero: (no really i don't get it)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2021-10-28 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
Most of them stay in a kind of stasis. Feeding them is really only important to the ones who are out and about.

[He bounces the Spheal a bit, in his grasp.]

Like Europa.
shiro2hero: (no i dunno the lyrics to Go The Distance)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2021-10-28 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Pokeballs, and in the computer system.

[There's a thoughtful pause, and Shiro grimaces a bit.] No, I... don't actually know how that works. Pidge might be able to tell you.

But pokemon can be stored in a computer, somehow.
shiro2hero: (no really i don't get it)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2021-10-29 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
Something like that.

It's not something everyone likes to do, and so they keep their teams small. But as far as I can tell from mine, it's just like a long nap.
