[open] Catch-all!

Who: Lance and you!
Broadcast: No
Action: Planetside
When: All this month!



[A - Swimming]
[It hadn't taken him long to choose his team, the Waves. Shark mascot? Love of water-based sports? Liberal use of the color blue? Heck yeah, he's in.

(That, and being on a different team from Keith means that he can kick his butt in competitions, which is obviously the most important thing here.)

The first competition he signs up for is a swimming race. He hasn't properly partaken in them since high school, where he was the star of the swim team, thank you very much. Lots of time in the Iskaulit's pool has kept him in shape and in practice, and he's excited to put those skills to the test. He puts his money where is mouth is, so to speak, and all his bragging isn't just for show-- Lance manages to win several races, and at least place in the top three in the ones he doesn't.

Feel free to watch him compete and cheer him on! Or you can catch him between or after the races, walking around in a navy blue speedo (purely for aerodynamics, of course) and being his charming self to any fans he might get.]



[B - Racing]

[Lance has gotta go fast, and not just in a pool. He hasn't been able to properly race in a vehicle meant for it in a long time now, so he signs up for all manner of races on land and air. Cars, shuttles, bikes... He's best at the shuttle races, of course, being a pilot and all. Not as great at the others due to lack of practice, but he still fares decently enough.

It isn't just vehicle races, either; Lance enters running competitions as well. Other than the shuttle runs, this is where he shines the most in this general category, and he places high in nearly all the races.

Again, cheer him on for anything he's in! Find him relaxing between races, relaxing and hydrating, because he doesn't want to overdo it. Not unless a certain mulleted paladin is in the line-up. If that's the case, you'll either find him crowing if he wins, or sulking if he loses. There's probably more of the former than the latter, unfortunately, but not all!]



[C - Beach]

[If there's a beach, Lance will go to it. No questions asked. He spends time nearly every day on one of the beaches, either laid out tanning on the sand or swimming in the ocean. He even partakes in some volleyball tournaments, because why not? Lance might be rusty, but he used to play a ton of beach volleyball back in Cuba. It helped living right by the shore.

It's clear that this is where Lance is in his best element, and more relaxed and carefree than he normally is. Sometimes, though, he'll just be sitting there looking at the waves, looking nostalgic and a little sad. Homesickness will never go away.]



[D - Other competitions]

[He's putting all of his talents to the test here. Lance is competitive by nature, of course. Aside from the aforementioned competitions, he also signs up for a few more. Archery and sharpshooting are at the top of that list. For all the bragging he does about himself, he really does live up to the "sharpshooter" nickname, and easily wins gold in the majority of games he's in. Archery is a little more difficult, but his natural dexterity and aim lead him to be pretty successful.

He's proudest of himself and looks it when he wins the sharpshooting contests. After all, that's his role in Voltron, isn't it?]



[E - Hot Springs/Spa]

[Lance will never, ever say no to a spa day. It just might rank up there in some of his favorite things in the world. He can be found every few days enjoying and pampering himself at the spa, and soaking in the hot springs located there as well. You can join him in some good ol' fashioned R&R, or just stop him from spending too much money on beauty products in the gift shop.]


[F - Other]

[Anything else! He'll be popping in and out of plenty of places on the planet. Shopping? Going to the water park? Sightseeing? Anything goes!]

[Ulaz just patiently listened to that babble until Lance caught himself]

It is fine. You are allowed, after all, to be interested in the person you are seeing.

What else do I need to get?
scalpelofmarmora: (curious)

[personal profile] scalpelofmarmora 2018-09-13 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I will remember that.

[Not that he planned on rambling... or finding someone but that was beside the point]

Alright then.

[He moved to the shelves, looking for option, grabbing a couple of options that were in the right size range. He at least had an idea based on the sizes he'd already found]

Like these?

[Ulaz watched as Lance examined what he had picked up, including feeling the material. He probably wouldn't have thought or cared to do that. He'd felt he'd been lucky just to find SOMETHING that fit.

At the approval, he nods]


Then I'll find a few more like this.
scalpelofmarmora: (curious)

[personal profile] scalpelofmarmora 2018-09-27 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? What is the point of not making it easy for a young woman to find clothes? Measurements should be sufficient.

[From the mouths of overly logical aliens...]
scalpelofmarmora: (serious)

[personal profile] scalpelofmarmora 2018-09-28 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
It sounds like it. There doesn't seem to be much sense in it, making something impossible to not have to be tried on.
scalpelofmarmora: (behind him)

[personal profile] scalpelofmarmora 2018-10-01 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Clearly logical people did not create sizes of clothing for women in your world.

[He's still picking up a few items here and there while they talked]
scalpelofmarmora: (serious)

[personal profile] scalpelofmarmora 2018-10-03 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, this does seem far more efficient.

[Okay, he's pretty much done with shopping now. He has items that will work for him, more than he had before]

Are you still shopping?
scalpelofmarmora: (ulaz)

[personal profile] scalpelofmarmora 2018-10-25 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Did you? Aside from the paladin armor, which I wouldn't wear unless I absolutely had to.

Though since it seems yours was an unplanned trip, it would be expected.

[But since he's done, he'll head up to purchase his items]
scalpelofmarmora: (smile)

[personal profile] scalpelofmarmora 2018-10-27 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Cell phone... a communication device from Earth?

[There was a faint grin... very faint for just a moment]

Doubt you had very good signal across the universe.
scalpelofmarmora: (behind him)

[personal profile] scalpelofmarmora 2018-11-04 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I see. Yes, that is a shame. And I'd assume you didn't have it on you when you came here.
scalpelofmarmora: (curious)

[personal profile] scalpelofmarmora 2018-11-09 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
We sometimes receive random items here? Maybe you will get your device and we can see if we can power it up, if nothing else so you access what is stored there.
