Happy Birthday (Late)

On the Huntress, as the Fleet leaves the system

[Keith found the crate in the cargo bay. Having seen what comes from these already, he was slightly concerned. Lance had gotten one for his birthday. He wasn't sure what to think about this. He stepped forward and, sure enough, it was for him.

He took a deep breath, glanced around to make sure he was alone, and then opened it.

...

• A Onsie?


• A plush


• A new jacket


• Another plush


• A sword...?

Man... Keith was pretty sure he didn't want anyone to see this... which meant it was highly likely someone else on the ship was going to as he tried to figure out what to do with it.]

Happy Late Birthday, the Party Edition

On the Iskaulit, two days after Friendsgiving

[Shiro and Lance had gotten permission from Jarvis to use the Melting Pot for a small birthday dinner for Keith. It was over a month late, but the cannibal race clearly didn't care about Keith's birthday. Now that things had calmed down, it was time to do something nice for their teammate. Respecting Keith's dislike for large, noisy parties, they'd gone the smaller "family dinner" type of event route.

Invited: Team Voltron, Huntress crew, Kirk, Kate, Sokka, Kaname, Freya, Luna, Arthur, Kitty, Vash, Prompto, Katie, Looma, Lumière, almost anyone who's had positive CR with Keith... if you're not sure, ask. Party crashers are cool, but antagonistic crashers will be escorted out.]

Finding Space

On the Iskaulit, during the birthday party as Keith excused himself to the "bathroom" for a moment

[Keith had managed to get some time away from the party using the excuse that he needed a short break. He appreciated it, sure, but it was a little overwhelming to be the center of attention for this long. So, he headed out for a bit. He'd go back, but he needed some air... or space... or something.

He stepped into a small space he'd never noticed before. It was empty, but he'd been debating a few things for a while now, like how the team was split between different ships, and it would be nice for them to have a shared space to hang out. He took some time looking it over before heading back to the party. It seemed like a cool idea. He'd tell them after the party was over...]

Hey, guys... I found something on the Iskaulit last night I kind of wanted to show you. Mind meeting me there?

Decorating Lessons

On the Iskaulit, December 1

[So, for fun, since there wasn't much in the space, yet, anyway, and because Lance had gotten his hands on a bunch of Christmas decorations somehow, Team Voltron was decorating their new space. Mistletoe, anyone?

The space will eventually be private, but it's not hard to find, and the team welcomes friends, so feel free to stop by and watch them be silly with decorations!]

Birthday Crate

[tempredmental]

[Catch Keith on the Huntress trying to hide his embarrassing sponsor drop.]

[the_tailor]

[Visiting Keith aboard the Huntress is something he does very often, if they don't end up meeting elsewhere. Crush aside, he's come to enjoy the red paladin's company. Plus, it wouldn't be Keith's conspiracy wall if it didn't have dumb messages or crude drawings from him constantly put up there.

He's mulling in his head what to put on it this time when he spots Keith, waving.]

Yo, mullet, what's poppin'?

[That's when he notices Keith sorting through a box. He immediately walks over, peeking in.]

You got a birthday sponsor drop too! Let me see, let me see!

[tempredmental]

[Keith mentally flailed. Of all the people to end up spotting this, it was Lance. He slammed the lid back on.]

No!

[the_tailor]

Yes! Oh, come on-- I saw red in there! I want to see what! I won't make fun of you!

[He gives Keith a puppy dog eye look.]

[tempredmental]

[Keith stared Lance down.]

You won't?

[He studied him.]

You swear?

Birthday Party

[tempredmental]

[Join Team Voltron as they celebrate Keith's birthday at the Melting Pot! Go ahead and mingle! Threadjacking is A-OKAY!]

Birthday Boy

[tempredmental]

[It had been a lot to take in, but Keith did eventually settle himself into the party mentally. It wasn't a surprise party, or he might have just turned around and walked out, but he also hadn't been expecting it to end up this crowded. He hadn't really thought much about the list of people to invite that he'd given to Shiro.

Still, though, after two parties and three days, he was going to be taking a loooooong break from social things... at least, he thought he would be. But, for now, he was going to try and enjoy himself.]

[padadin]

[Hi Keith, there's a metal arm around your shoulders now, gently giving a squeeze, plus a big smile on certain pseudo-big bro's face. Spending time with friends always has a good effect on him.]

Hey, buddy. Enjoying yourself?

[tempredmental]

Yeah... it's not bad.

[Keith gave Shiro a small smile.]

I didn't think my list was this big, but it's not bad.

[Shiro would also probably notice that Keith wasn't moving as stiffly anymore. Definitely not sore.]

Re: Birthday Boy

[this_loser]

[Birthdays are good. Prompto's had also been caught up in the mess that had been crashing ships and cannibals. No one's mentioned it, and he's not going to bring it up. So it's especially nice to find himself invited to Keith's celebration.

Unfortunately, the last planet wasn't exactly a hotspot for birthday shopping, and he didn't have time to piece something together. He does come with armed with a small stack of long overdue photos in an envelope - tied with a festive ribbon!]

Happy birthday, Keith!

[tempredmental]

[Keith gave Prompto a pretty easy smile in response.]

Hey, thanks. I'm glad you came.

[He took the offered envelope, holding on to it for now.]

How are you holding up?

[They'd run into each other at Kirk's Friendsgiving party, and they'd both been a little bruised up. Kaname had forced Keith to go see Luna about getting healed, so the Red Paladin was actually looking and moving a heck of a lot better since then.]

[axi]

I hope the cake's better than the pie was last time.

[Kaname knows he'll understand her joke, placing a hand on his shoulder in greeting as she walks over to him from the side. Once in view, she lets it drop.]

It's a little late, but happy birthday, Keith.

[tempredmental]

[Keith gave her a small smile in return and nodded.]

Thanks. Hunk made the cake, so I'm sure it's way better already.

[Sure, not all of Hunk's experiments came out perfect, but a good eighty percent or more came out really darn good. Keith wasn't worried.]

Thanks for coming.

Re: Birthday Party

[goldenglasses]

[Vash felt touched to have been included in the invite. So he is of course going to show up and mingle around. His first stop is to wish Keith a happy birthday.]

Hey! There’s the man of the hour! Happy birthday and thank you for the invitation.

[tempredmental]

Thanks. [Keith gave Vash something of a smile. These things were hard for the asocial, but he managed all the same. It had made the others happy to do it for him, so he let them.] It was really Shiro and Lance who put this together, but I appreciate it all the same.

[goldenglasses]

A birthday is an important day and worth celebrating!

Afraid I didn't really think of a gift to bring. [Or a planet NOT filled with cannibals to shop at.]

Iskaulit Wandering

[tempredmental]

[Saw Keith sneak out of the party? Wandering the Iskaulit and came across him? Say hi!]

Video for Team Voltron

[tempredmental]

[So, guys... do we want a "Lion's Den"?]

[Video at first]

[padadin]

[He isn't expecting a message from Keith so soon - he thought the poor boy would get some serious me-time after the party. Shiro can't help arching an eyebrow at the screen.]

Sure, I'll be there in a second. Is everything alright, Keith?

[ video ]

[tempredmental]

Yeah, it's fine. I just... I found something the other night before I went back to the Huntress... and I wanted to show you.

[padadin]

Got it. Meet you there.

[It takes him just a second, beaming makes it that easy. And when he arrives to the Iskaulit, he realizes Keith didn't exactly give him a meeting spot or directions. So he sends his friend a quick text asking where to next.]

Season's Greetings

[tempredmental]

[The Team decorates their new space. Mingle for Team Voltron and anyone who wants to drop by and see them doing silly Christmas things!]

[the_tailor]

[Thankfully, he'd managed to get two boxes of winter decorations from Steve. He could have used both on the Blameless, yes, but now that they had a Team Voltron space? It definitely needed decorating, too. Most of the sparkly garland is up by now. It works out that the decorations weren't just red and green; the Lion's Den needed equal color representation, now didn't it?

Lance is singing Christmas songs to himself as he hangs the remainder up, not caring about the volume or anyone walking in.]

[tempredmental]

Having fun?

[Keith held out one of the last bits of garland to hang.]

[the_tailor]

[He turns back to see Keith, grinning as he takes it from him.]

You know it! I might re purpose some of the decorations to keep them here even after the holidays. This place can't be too boring looking, yeah?
