When: July 8th

[Network | The Hospitality Deck - July 8th]

[She awoke peacefully, for the first time since her awakening from cryo-stasis. She was slow to take in her new bedchamber, more concerned at her heart's reluctance to speed up over the foreign surroundings than the actual surroundings themselves. She wasn't alarmed - while uncertain where she'd landed herself, she was at least certain that the structures weren't Galran.

She was still clothed in her combat attire, which means they likely hadn't retired after their battle with Zarkon--and Hagaar. Before she allows her thoughts to drift too far she peers towards the hallway, where voices, though distant, can be heard.]

Pidge? Hunk? [She rises to her feet and makes her way into the hallway. As she wanders, she approaches the entrance to what appears to be...a resort?]

What on...[She mumbles to herself as she walks to the full-panel windows, gazing out into the star-filled spanse. She'll find the others in a moment - this isn't her first time being separated from them, she's certain they'll wander together in a matter of time. She looks down to her communicator and sees the option to query the network.]

Excuse me, [She offers a disarming smile, which always seemed to serve her well in her diplomacy missions, so hopefully it won't fail her now.]--ahem. I mean--[Eh-heh...] Well met, everyone. I am Princess Allura of the Altean race, ally and refuge for the Paladins of Voltron. I look forward to meeting with you all and offer my services in whatever capacity you may wish to utilize them.

[Well done, Allura! Off to a smooth start!]

[Okay... this was just crazy.]

They got you, too?

[ video ]

[lionherding]

[Allura's eyes light up momentarily at the sign of a response, but the brightness quickly dulls when she registers Keith on her communicator.]

'They'? So you know what's going on?

[She's doing her best to maintain a neutral tone but even she can hear a mildly accusatory undertone in her voice.]

Re: [ video ]

[tempredmental]

[Keith pulled back a little at her tone. Well, then. Apparently, she's far enough along in time that she knows that about him.]

Not entirely, but a lot of people are working to figure it out what we weren't told in the welcome message.

Are you hurt at all?

[Video]

[padadin]

[...welp. So first it's just him and Keith for a while, and suddenly three others in a row? Shiro can't help but wonder if Hunk and Coran will be here next week. She looks fine, and that's some relief - hearing the story from Keith and actually seeing it are different things.

...if she comes from the same time spot at all. Which he'll find out quickly, he supposes, by seeing how she reacts to him.]

Princess. [Since she's taking things calmly, he does the same, offering a smile. He is happy to see her after all, context aside.] I'm afraid this is very different from your usual diplomacy missions. Are you in the Hospitality Deck?

[Video]

[lionherding]

Shiro! [Her voice raises in volume, both joy and relief awash on her face.] You're safe!

[Her smile quickly vanishes and she's struck with a look of horror.] You. Are safe...aren't you?

[Video]

[padadin]

[Ah. That answers that question. The answer is complicated, but better keep it simple until he fills her in.

A nod.] I am - we all are. Keith, Lance and Pidge are here too, in this ship. I'll find you and we can talk better. Can you tell me where you are?

[video]

[the_tailor]

Princess!

[The gang's getting back together, it seems, piece by piece. Lance smiles brightly and gives a wave, and a wink.]

I bet I can think of some services I'd like to uti--

[Ahem. Okay. That one might be going a little too far.]

Uh, it's good to see you here!

[video]

[lionherding]

[No smile for you Lance. As soon as she saw the other Paladins respond, she knew she'd be regretting those seemingly harmless words...!]

Lance. That offer was for anyone in distress. [You ninny.]

[the_tailor]

What, I can't be in distress? Maybe I have been, without your radiant presence to keep me going!

[ Her first thought is she's wearing a really snazzy wetsuit. Her second is to take note of the name Hunk; it's a code name she's heard a few times, but highly unlike it's the same one the more she carries on. It doesn't seem like that's make-up on her face or prosthetics for her ears. She's not quite used to all of this, but what else can you really do other than deal with it and try to carry on?

Regardless, Jill remains guarded. ]

Good afternoon, Princess Allura. I'm afraid I don't need any help right now -- not any I think you're capable of giving, anyway. But, hey, if you can get us out of here I'll eat my hat! ;)

I'm Jill and I'm over on the SS Heron as Tactical Support. To my knowledge we're all just stuck here as some form of intergalactic entertainment. Wish I could give you more info, but that's about it.

[lionherding]

Believe me, getting out of here is going to be my top priority. Though from the sound of it, that seems to be a common goal among those present?

All the same, thank you for making yourself known, Jill. This place I'm on--it seems to be a hub for other ships, am I correct?

[Intergalactic entertainment. She wonders if the Galrans will tune in. The thought causes her stomach to churn.]

[torsion]

Well, consider us allies in that case! It does seem to be a common goal, though I'm not sure how feasible it is or what has been attempted so far. I've only been here a little while.

I believe it is. When I was on it, it apparently was different and I believe all passengers from every ship were present.

[Shinji has seen all sorts of people come and go, but...]

Are you really a princess?

[lionherding]

Yes! I am really a princess, why do you ask?

[Well. Can she be a princess with only an advisor for a subject?]

[alwayscomeback]

[He doesn't recognise her name, but at least he recognises those she's calling out to. ]

Oh, um, hi, new person! There's some Paladins here, so you're in luck! All of 'em except that Hunk guy.

Video;

[lionherding]

[And who might you be? For someone who doesn't know Allura's name, he sure seems to know a lot about everything else.]

And Coran.

[Pardon the clipped response--she's not entirely sure how to respond to a stranger knowing more than she does about her own situation at this point.]

Video

[norwaysown]

What are your actual skills?

[ If she's offering her services, that's relevant information. And Signy's a woman who doesn't mince words. ]

Video

[lionherding]

[Well hello to you too.]

Of the social, technical, or martial variety?

[hylights]

[Zelda's attention goes to Allura's ears, first of all. It's a rarity to see anyone with similar ears to her own in this place. It had seemed rude to mention it to anyone, but she can't deny it's slightly cheering to see something familiar.

She offers her own smile, and bows her head in greeting.]

It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Princess Zelda-- [She doesn't usually mention her title, yet it seems appropriate here.] --of Hyrule. You've just arrived, I take it?

video.

[lionherding]

[Oh, goodness - for a split second, Allura thought you were a distant relative of some kind. Romelle is that you?]

I fear I'm not overly familiar with Hyrule, though I'm pleased to make your acquaintance all the same. [She returns the smile and dips her head in a nod.] And yes, I just arrived. May I ask how long you've been here?

[ video ]

[luxoraculi]

[ There's been quite a few new arrivals amidst the chaos of calibrations. What catches Luna's attention is princess. A kindred spirit in royalty, perhaps. ]

A pleasure to meet you, Princess Allura. My name is Lunafreya Nox Fleuret... have you been told anything yet? About where you are, that is.

[ video ]

[lionherding]

Greetings, Lunafreya, and well met. I've gotten the general idea of my purpose here, though beyond that I fear I'm still getting my bearings.

[It's a little disconcerting that there are so many dignitaries among them.]

[ACTION] I apologize in advance for her

[tough_love]

[What's this now? They were still picking up new additions, even with everyone crammed into a single ship? Ugh.

Don't look now Allura, but those heavy footsteps you can actually feel mean you have a giant visitor who has left her temporary watch at the end of the observation deck.]

You will find any previous skills to be useless here, just as the rest of us have. All that seems to matter now is whatever they've programmed you with.

[Though hey, maybe she'd luck out and it'd be something similar to what she was used to anyway.]

[ACTION] OH HECK YES. No forgiveness, just thanks! ♥

[lionherding]

[This woman's imposing approach is disarming, to say the least. Allura's professional smile wavers, and she regards this stranger with mild apprehension.] Oh--h-hello.

[She quickly regains her composure, squaring her shoulders and straightening her posture.] ...and, I beg your pardon, did you say 'programmed'?

video

[monolike]

Oh! Allura! You're the princess that Keith knows! [Yep this is definitely the same person from his memories, for sure. She looks and sounds every inch the capable woman he'd seen in that picture.]
