[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!]
tempredmental: (Yeah Sure)

[Keith had conceded that Lance was likely to beat him in anything swimming, but he definitely wasn't going to make it easy. He wasn't the best swimmer, but he was an athlete, so it didn't take much practice for him to easily keep up and give Lance a run for his money.

The other races, though... Lance was going to have quite the challenge. That was Keith's element, especially the vehicular races. Lance's longer strides matched Keith's speed, and they alternated wins and tied a lot in the foot races. Sometimes, Keith didn't even care if he won the race overall. He just wanted to cross the line before Lance and tease him about, claiming a victory kiss or two while his boyfriend pouted.

Keith was not, however, a big volleyball player, so he sat and cheered Lance on for those, and then, during one of the breaks, Keith helped Lance stake out a good spot on the sand for them to relax.]


That was a good match.

[Honestly? Keith had no idea, but Lance's team had won and it wasn't against Keith's team, so it was good in that respect.]

C because why not

[Ulaz had been coming to the beach a few times since they had arrived on this planet. Beaches were low on the list of places he had been to recently so this was different than the mountains.

And of course practically every time he was there, there was a certain young paladin either playing or relaxing on the beach. Today he happened to be laying on the sand rather than doing something else. So Ulaz walked over]


You must really like places like this.

[You would think that after living together in the castle and the Blameless after that, Shiro would be used to this. But nope, some things he'll never understand.]

Are all those creams really necessary?

[They're just so many, ok, and curiosity has finally taken the best of him. Please ignore the cute, blue tapir plushie under his arm.]

[Keith chuckled a bit.]

No, I guess not.

[He laid down next to Lance.]

How many more do you have to play?

[Sokka isn't taking part in the swimming competitions, or at least not this one- but he's here to cheer on his Space Twin and bolster the Waves good name. The other Fleet members might not realise this is blatantly the best team yet, but they'll come around. He even has a (crappy) hand-made sign which either depicts a blue lion trouncing all competition or literally anything else but that. It's like a Rorschach painting, you look at it hard enough, you can make up your own mind what it is. ]

Woooo! GO LANCE. Kick butt!!!
scalpelofmarmora: (serious)

[Ulaz had been getting to know the younger paladins since he had been there and he was finding that he enjoyed spend with them]

I see. Must have been nice, getting to spend time in a place like this.

[He was finding it wasn't so bad here. Too bad he's not dressed for it at all]

What sort of things did you do at the beach?
tempredmental: (Dry Chuckle)

[personal profile] tempredmental 2018-05-11 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
Good. Then we can have lunch.

[Keith leaned in and gave Lance a quick kiss.]

Stay there. I'll be back.

[This was Lance's tournament, so Keith was going to be the cheering section and everything else. He didn't mind. He came back with something that looked like seafood. Considering they were on the beach, that made sense.]

I tried some of the samples... it was pretty good. [He handed one of the containers to Lance as he sat down.]

[He's not the only one enjoying the ocean. Mantis is barefoot in the surf, his boots sitting on a chair under an umbrella. Every so often he waves his hand and a small pile of sand tumbles out of his way. He laughs when a suddenly uncovered crab scuttles out of the way and buries itself again.

Turning his head, he sees Lance, and makes a curious noise.]

You're one one of the ships. I forgot which, but I remember that face.
tempredmental: (Dry Chuckle)

[personal profile] tempredmental 2018-05-11 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I know.

[Keith smirked teasingly.]

That's not a bad idea... but we'd have to either freeze some of it or cook it really fast before it goes bad. Of course, the other option is to get live stuff and keep it in a tank somewhere.

[But that might be weird for some people...]
tempredmental: (Food Fight With Lance)

[personal profile] tempredmental 2018-05-11 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Keith bit his lip in amusement, and then laughed.]

Really? You were that kid? [In a general sense. It wasn't like Keith had seen Lance crying in a restaurant over a lobster on his plate.] Oh my god. Pidge was right. You are a goofball.

[Keith leaned his shoulder against Lance's though. He was teasing.]
ginger_firebird: (Mantis Thinks)

[personal profile] ginger_firebird 2018-05-12 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
I would say the same of my face, but no one but my bathroom mirror knows what that looks like. Didn't you or some friends of yours end up almost burning down that kitchen trying to make chocolate?

[A bucket is orbiting close to his feet as he walks over.]

I felt bad for the shipmates who had to wake up to that. Burnt cocoa seeps into everything.
ginger_firebird: (Mantis Hush)

[personal profile] ginger_firebird 2018-05-12 11:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Mantis is a small Swiss army knife of weird powers. He shakes his head at that pout.]

You tried your best. Mistakes made are lessons learned.

[He has a seat on the sand, letting the bucket continue it's orbit so he can go over his finds.]

Did you get sucked into one of the local teams yet? Our captain is with the Starstrikers, so I'm keeping with that one for the time being.
ginger_firebird: (Mantis Headache)

[personal profile] ginger_firebird 2018-05-13 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
That many people like monochromatic clothing? It's awful in warm weather.

[He fishes out several clam and oyster looking shells and plucks several of them out of the air to leave on the sand.]

Brightbirds. My ideal challenges are intellectual, but I don't like the color scheme of their team at all.
