Day 4 || Shard 001

[Keith stares at the mirror shard for a while, his eyebrow raising.]

... Is this-- [Oh. It is. It... does seem to be working. Or well, at least, he isn't seeing his reflection anymore. Then again, he isn't all that sure of what he is seeing, either.

Ah well. Here goes nothing.]


...

[................. 'Hi?' 'Hello?' ... That sounds so stupid. What-- What's he supposed to say? How should he even start this...?

...]


I--... Uh. [Clears throat slightly.] ... My name is Keith. And... I'm a paladin of Voltron. [Awkward pause. He lifts his eyes up from the mirror, for a moment, and seems to communicate with someone through facial expressions alone before returning his attention back to the mirror again.

He frowns.]


... No one we've talked to so far seems to have any idea of where we are or how we ended up here. Is it the same for all of you? Any information you might have could help us figure out how to get out of here.

[He pauses again, before--]

If any of the other paladins are listening: Guys, come in. All you have to do is look at the mirror and-- uh. Speak. ... I guess. While thinking about... wanting to speak. [... wow. Smooth.] Just. You know. Look at the surface, think that you want to talk to people, talk. Figure it out. But do it. I'm with Lance, but we don't think the Red or the Black lions are anywhere around here. It's been four days and we haven't heard or seen any of you or anyone else that was with us. So if you are here, say something.

[ On the one hand, Lance kind of wants to poke fun at Keith because it's like he has no practice talking to people. On the other hand... he's gotta cut him some kind of slack for dealing with that sunstroke and now the other kind of weirdness starting.

On the other, other hand? He's too worried to give him shit about this. Anyone who headed this way should've found the village by now, right? But if the others aren't here... where are they?

So Lance flops back on the rug in front of the fireplace with a sigh. ]
And now we wait.

[ It's true, talking to a screen is a long, long way from talking to a broken shard of mirror. Lance definitely understands how that would feel kinda ridiculous. ... Still. They gotta give it a shot.

Lance nods in response. ]
Yeah, I know. These supplies aren't gonna last forever. [ Which actually scares him, in a way. He knows he's been taught a few things about survival, but now, he doesn't feel like he knows anything at all. Ridiculous, isn't it? But doing nothing isn't an option either. ]

Where do you think we should start? [ It's a good first step not to be alone. ]
sharpshooterpaladin: (sheepish)

[ Lance nods. ] I've checked the place out somewhat, but I haven't gone through everything yet.

[ He goes through the layout of the house in his mind, thinking of where he might've missed spots, but Keith suggests hunting and... ] You know how? I mean... all we've got is your knife. Sword. Thing.

Hi Keith! My name is Monika. It's nice to meet you!

This is all a lot to take in, isn't it?
loadme: (3)

[personal profile] loadme 2018-10-28 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
I sure did. I'm no really how it all happened, but here I am!

It's kind of weird, huh?
loadme: (5)

[personal profile] loadme 2018-11-02 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[It's all in your head.]

Oh well. What's done is done. Not much else to do now but figure out the rest.

[there's a look of relief on is face when peter pulls out his shard. after being woken up that night by the screaming girl, he'll happily take a little friendly conversation instead.]

Hey. Uh-- My name's Peter, and I'm kind of in the same position. There's a few others I've met here, and it's the same for them too. I don't think anyone really knows why we're here. But there's someone on this island who...I don't know.

[he scowls slightly, looking away from the shard for a moment.]

I think she's from this place. She tried to talk to us a while back, but something stopped her.
arachnerds: (2)

[personal profile] arachnerds 2018-10-28 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[he only nods at the first part. so far, he hasn't been face to face with anyone who knows more about this island. about what's happening here.]

I don't think she was trying to talk to me specifically. She just...screamed. And then said "he's here", before disappearing. She never responded when we tried to talk to her.
arachnerds: (20)

[personal profile] arachnerds 2018-10-30 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, pretty much.

[and given that it was the middle of the night at the time, nobody had taken that too well.]

She wouldn't answer when we tried to talk to her, and there wasn't really a way to track her down.

If anyone has a clue as to what's going on, they're not sharing. All I know is that this place doesn't smell like anywhere I've ever been before.

[That's right. Not 'looks like.' Smells like. Odd thing for what looks like a human being to say.]
clawandscars: (Human- From bad to worse)

[personal profile] clawandscars 2018-10-26 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, there's always something just a little bit off about Tsume. He's just not like other people.]

Wonder what happened to everyone who was here before.

[He's seen the abandoned houses, but mistrusting them, he's been sleeping out in the woods under the stars. He's not complaining, that's where wolves are meant to be naturally.]

clawandscars: (Human- Forest)

[personal profile] clawandscars 2018-11-01 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
Not any place where I'm from. Everything's dead or dying there.

[Cheery, but hey, that's what happened when people were living in the fallout after a nuclear war wrecked the planet.]

Tsume.

[No last name attached. It's not wolves have need of them. He doesn't ask for Keith's, seeming rather like he could take it or leave it if he answers or not.]

[ The broken piece of mirror is speaking.

The one Zelda found in the leather bag with her clothes when she first awakened in the forest, that she nearly cut herself with by accident. The one she held onto for some inexplicable reason, that she couldn't bring herself to throw away. The one she left resting on a broken piece of furniture in the little cabin she had claimed for herself by the lake with the other strangers who weren't sure what they were doing here. That mirror is speaking.

And, conveniently, sharing instructions for its use as Zelda hurries over to where she left it and carefully picks it up. The reflection looking back at her is not her own, but an unfamiliar male face.

"Say something," the young man says. Yes, she should say something. ]


... I... am here, Paladin. [ Says awkwardly the young princess to the mirror in her cupped hands. She cannot help feeling immensely foolish, like she's talking to herself. Could this actually be some kind of illusion? ]

[ Zelda's eyes widen in surprise as the man on the other side speaks again, this time looking directly at her. She almost hadn't expected a response. ]

... I, I did, yes. [ She manages to reply self-consciously. She can't help feeling a bit like she's talking to herself.

Zelda lifts the shard closer to her face to get a better look at the man on the other side. A paladin, he introduced himself as. Blue eyes scrutinize Keith's features, searching for any hint that he might be a knight of her world. But nothing about his appearance is familiar to her, and his style of dress (from what she can see) is not Hyrulean. He is no more likely to be of Hyrule than Mordred.

Besides, she didn't recognize the name 'Voltron' either, which was telling in itself. A named corps of knights would not go unknown by the young princess. ]


My name is Zelda. I am the Princess of Hyrule... should you recognize the name. [ There's still a bit of a hopeful tone to her voice, even though she's pretty sure she knows what Keith's answer will be. ]
sharpshooterpaladin: (uhhh)

[personal profile] sharpshooterpaladin 2018-11-06 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Lance hears Keith ask about Altea, and he's abruptly up and half on the couch, leaning into the feed next to Keith. His eyes widen momentarily, like recognition, and he opens his mouth to speak but falters.

That person clearly isn't who he thought he recognized.

He only belatedly realizes he just barged into a conversation, but he's barely sheepish about it. ]
Uh, sorry, don't mind me. Same question.
