System Catch-All

Who: Keith, OPEN
Broadcast: You can contact him via the network, but he's not broadcasting out, no. ^_^
Action: Yes, all the action! There are a lot of planet-based things here in the post, but I'm open to Iskaulit things or on the other ships if you guys want!
When: Upon arrival in the Yangur system, until next drift period (Keith will be in a coma from July 4th to 11th for canon update)

{OOC: The prompts are available for the entire time the Fleet is in this system. However, depending on the date you pick, you'll either get Keith before his update (before July 4th) or after his update (after July 11th). I'm posting this kind of late due to real life things that got in the way, but I'm open to backtagging if you want to do something pre-update! Just note it somewhere in your tag if you want pre-update, post-update, or if you want me to flip a coin for you. :)}

=====

i. Mist Exploring

[Before July 4th, Keith attempted to explore the mist with his Paladin armor, fairly convinced that it's space-walk-worthy qualities would keep him safe from the effects. It didn't. He did the same with his Blade of Marmora suit after July 11th, and had the same failed results. See comment threads below for some of Keith's fears that might pop up, or create your own thread if you want your character's fear to show instead!

During one of the threads with his own fears, he will find the Black Bayard from home.]


Fear Threads
1. Fear of Abandonment
2. Fear of Failure
3. Fear of Losing Control

=====

ii. Veynar Hospital

[Guess who landed himself in the hospital pre-update after realizing his Paladin armor didn't completely stop the effects of the mist...

Guess who did it again post-update when he decided to attempt the same thing with his Blade of Marmora suit instead, and got the same results.

Yeah. Care to visit him? He might have ended up a little nervous from the resulting augment glitch (read: paranoid as all get out).]


=====

iii. Kerrior Hawks

[When not landing himself in trouble in the mist, recovering from mist-induced crippling paranoia at the planet's hospital, or sleeping through a canon update coma, Keith discovered magnaball and kerrior hawks. He didn't attempt to play a game because that looks like it needs a lot of practice, but he definitely watched, and hit up one of the open training camps to give it a try because... riding a giant hawk... dude. How could you not?]

=====

iv. Kite Flying

[And, in other recreational activities, Keith found that flying kites was actually pretty cool. Find him hanging out with the red kite (which happened to match the other Team Voltron kites), attempting to pull off fancy kite stunts. He was about 50/50 on crashing vs succeeding.]

=====

v. Wildcard!

{OOC: I'm open to other ideas! Feel free to comment something else here, or, if you want to talk something out ahead of time, hit me up at [plurk.com profile] duches77!}

[Perhaps both of them had been more than a little foolhardy. Twice. Their first foray into the mist had landed them both in the hospital, Lance having suffered hallucinations both in the mist and lingering ones while healing up. The second time was exactly the same. Despite Lance knowing they were just hallucinations, they still seemed as real the second time around.

He's in the next room over from Keith, but manages to escape from his room long enough to visit his boyfriend. Because to hell with what's going on with him, it's Keith that's his first concern.

Lance knocks on the door before letting himself in, clad in his light blue hospital gown.]


...Hey. You're awake?

[The snap of his voice makes Lance visibly cringe, but he takes a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves as he slowly walks over. He doesn't turn the lights on, figuring that Keith left them off for a reason.]

Can I sit down? Or do you want me to--

[He swallows.]

Do you want me to leave?

[Lance doesn't understand what he means at all. He makes his way to the bed, sitting on the edge of it.]

Why wouldn't I be me? I am me. Your Lance. Your idiot boyfriend w-who fell in love with your mullet.

[It kills him to see Keith in a state like this. He doesn't know what's wrong or why he's acting like this, all he knows is that he has to make it better somehow. He has to. What good is he otherwise?]

How can I prove it? Do you want me to tell you about our first date? The time you beat me to a love confession?

[He thinks through their interactions together, things he hasn't told anyone. Using an example from their intimacy just doesn't seem right at this point, but something does pop into his head.]

...when I came to your room, that one time, when I didn't know my place in Voltron... You told me to leave the math to Pidge.

Why...?

[He pulls him fully into his arms, taking comfort in his warmth, at least. Focusing on it. Because he's starting to hear whispers in his mind again, voices telling him that maybe his math wasn't so inaccurate after all.]

[personal profile] the_tailor 2018-07-06 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
You can trust me. Whatever it is--if there's anything--I'm going to protect you from it. Okay? I can do it. I can do it. I will.

[A deep breath, and he strokes through Keith's hair, ignoring those voices and trying to focus on the feel of locks between his fingers.]

[If you're so good at protecting me, why couldn't you protect me from this?

It's Keith's voice he hears, and although the other boy hasn't actually said it, Lance doesn't know any better right now. With his face buried in his neck, he doesn't see whether his lips have moved or not. And even then, it might have not mattered.]


I'm sorry, Keith, I'm so sorry... I t-tried, you know I... I want to be your shield. I'm sorry I'm so bad at it.

[personal profile] the_tailor 2018-07-06 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not going anywhere, Keith! I'm not... Please, please don't send me away, please don't!

[He holds him tighter, full on pleading now.]

[Keith in the hospital is not new, little hothead he is. But twice? TWICE? He's been wary of the mist since they arrived, why won't people listen to him? Geez. Shiro takes off his helmet before knocking and peeking inside.]

Keith? Buddy?

I'll protect you, no matter what happens. I have to. You're too important, to me, to everyone else... Please don't tell me to go. I have to do at least this.
the_tailor: (151)

[personal profile] the_tailor 2018-07-07 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
And you can't be hurt. Can't. I won't let you. I'll do everything, anything...
