Do Not Feed After Midnight

[pidge_out]

Who: Pidge and ALL OF YOU
Broadcast: Accidentally YES
Action: Yesssss
When: Right Now!

[Video Broadcast]
[The feed is shaky. For a split second this might be concerning, but then there are some snorting giggles while the image comes into focus and reveals... a whiteboard. It's covered in scribbles and notes and papers and magnets and string, and most of the handwriting is fairly neat. If your attention stays on that neater handwriting, you might realize that the things on the board are trying to piece clues together. If you know him, you might even recognize this as being the board in Keith's room on the Huntress.

That's not why the feed is on, though.

Written into the margins of every bit of space not occupied by this apparent search are questions, written in large, bold, black letters that at times go over what was already written. And these questions are not... particularly scholarly. They're mostly things like--

"Do aliens have sex?" "What is Hunk's headband hiding?" "Lance doesn't actually know spanish, Change My Mind" "Who cut Shiro's hair anyway?" "Shut up Lance let me write my Shhit" "Aliens = Birds?" "why does Coran moustAche"]

Okay, look! [Pidge is not at all trying to hold back any laughter. In fact, Pidge seems pretty damn pleased with the scrawled, awful musings that have been left there. Though it does kind of sound like she's not quite talking to the community over the comm. It sounds like Pidge is talking to someone in the same room as her.] Someone's gotta ask the hard questions and I'm the brain here so it's gonna be me, duhhhhh.

[Tap. Tap. It sounds like Pidge is hitting the side of her comm. Because obviously she's just trying to take a picture of her own brilliance.] Nnnthefuck, why's it not working...

[Action: the Huntress]
[So it turns out that Lance gave Pidge some Drinks and then brought her back to his shared room to make sure she didn't trip all over herself while returning to the Bishop...]

WHAT THE QUIZNAK DID YOU TWO DO TO MY BOARD?!

[Keith was fuming.]

Action

[pidge_out]

[Oops, Keith has just caught Pidge in the middle of scribbling something new on the board. It looks like "how loud is Lance when Keith is f-"

But she stops when Keith comes in, and he can see how she's all big smiles and unusually red cheeks.]

Hiii Keeeeef!

[straightouttacarbonite]

Are you asking if aliens have birds or if aliens are birds or what aliens' opinions on birds are?

voice;

[pidge_out]

[The incoming response is probably way too giggly than it should be.]

I'm asking if aliens are just super-evolved sentient space birds! Like how dinosaurs were birds. Or became birds. Or whatever.

voice;

[straightouttacarbonite]

....What?

[pidge_out]

Dinosaurs are birds! Or birds are dinosaurs.

Science.

[straightouttacarbonite]

[ This place is so weird- everyone speaks the same language but it's also like they don't. ]

What kind of birds are we talking about?

[pidge_out]

[There's the sound of a throat being cleared, followed by a hiccup and a giggle, before Pidge gets going.]

So there's a theory. That not all dinosaurs perished 65 million years ago and that there were factions of them that went on to evolve into birds. And considering the bone structure for a lot of what we consider to be dinosaurs is similar to that of birds, it's entirely plausible that over the course of the next million-some years they ended up evolving into birds of prey. Hawks and shit. You know?

So I'm thinking... What if there were birds that ended up in space when the meteor hit and they evolved into the beings we call aliens?

i'm so sorry for everything Han Solo is and says, tbh

[straightouttacarbonite]

Yeah, I've still got no idea what you're talking about, but that seems like a pretty narrow view of the universe.

don't ever be sorry about Han Solo tbh

[pidge_out]

Duuuuude, I've only been in space for like... [There's a hum, and then a quick raspberry.] A year-ish.

[straightouttacarbonite]

Floating in small circles the whole time?

[the_tailor]

Keith! Babe!

[While he's happy to see him as always, there's...the whole...yelling thing. Plus, he doesn't exactly look happy. Lance immediately pouts, despite his earlier cheery mood.]

We just added some more mysteries to it, that's all! I mean, mostly Pidge, but I've got questions of my own...I mean, seriously, you remember Shiro's hair lately back home. Questions need to be answered!

[He's also a little tipsy. A little.]

[video / possible action idk]

[wallcrawler]

[Well, thanks to SOMEONE'S yelling, Pete's up. In the middle of space night. Great.

Though he only finds Pidge's broadcast a few minutes after he's relocated to the Huntress' kitchen and made himself some awful space coffee.]

...I don't know who Hunk is, but I can only assume the answer is "their forehead."

[Answering the big questions of the universe at midnight, this guy.

Siiiip.]

[ video ]

[dothelokimotion]

Can humans have sex would be a more valid question.

[tempredmental]

[Keith narrowed his eyes at both of them. Guess who was completely sober... and completely pissed off.

He jabbed a finger towards the board. His jaw was tight and his voice dangerously low as he spoke.]

Clean it. Up.

[pidge_out]

[In answer to that? Pidge just blows a raspberry in his direction and resumes her scribbling. "-ucking him?"] The universe must knoooowwww~!! Come ask a question, Keith! The board will answer all!

[pidge_out]

[This time it's less a giggle and more a snicker.] Teeeeechnically it's like one giant circle with a bunch of small concentric circles inside of it and that's not even including all the slow floating here in the fleet.

[video!!!]

[pidge_out]

Pete!!

[Pidge is all grins for her fellow science/video-game kid, even waving enthusiastically at the camera.]

Dude, Hunk is our best friend. Like our best. Friend. He's so cool he makes liquid nitrogen look like lava.

[pidge_out]

Pfffffffffffffffffffffft- [That and a dismissive hand wave is what Loki's getting here.]

Of course humans can have sex, that's a super basic instinct.

[dothelokimotion]

Is it?

I assume they were more like cockroaches. Or worms. After all, they keep multiplying for no rhyme and reason.

[pidge_out]

[Okay that earns you a smirk, Loki.]

They multiply because they have sex for the sake of having sex and keep forgetting that babies get produced that way.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Surprisingly, Loki chuckles. ]

Who would have thought it was such an easy thing to forget.

[pidge_out]

Most humans are tooooooootal idiots.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Huh. ]

Yes, I am completely aware.

I do not hear that often from other humans though.

[goldenglasses]

That's some good detective work you got started there. [Don't mind Vash. He's mostly here in the hopes that Shiro chimes in. That should be good.]
