System Catch-All!
Who: Lance and you!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Huntress and planetside, and anywhere else if you want!
When: Throughout the month, minus July 4-11th, where he'll be asleep for canon updating.
[A - Broadcast (Takes place July 11th)]
[Lance waves to the camera, looking just a little worse for the wear. He isn't injured at all, but he's apparently been asleep for a week, so he's kind of got a case of bedhead and his skin isn't as meticulously taken care of as usual. Still, he outwardly looks to be in a little better emotional shape than he was the last time this had happened to him.]
Sleeping beauty--er, beauties, are awake.
[Keith can also be spotted in the background, giving affection to their overeager pets who've clearly missed their dads.]
Last time we disappeared, but this time we just fell asleep, for some reason. It's really, really jarring to go home then come back like this, with all these memories just smacking back into your brain. But they're good memories... Some of the best I've had, and I'm really, really grateful to be back here. Sooooo, what did I miss?
[B - Mist]
[While Lance has gotten more careful about things over the years, what with the fact that general danger couldn't just lead to a bruised knee but actual death, there were still times where he pushed the envelope. The general assumption he and Keith had come to was that if their suits could easily survive the vacuum of space, some strange mist shouldn't be a problem.
They were wrong, of course, when they'd hit the denser mist.
Hallucinations strike Lance first and foremost. He talks to people that aren't there, and though it's difficult to see through his helmet visor, his expression is nothing short of distraught. You might even find him curled up on the ground, holding a large stone and...crying?]
[C- Hospital]
[Intelligent boy he is, he's struck out into the mist twice, both times landing him in the hospital afterwards. It's the second visit there, though, that he's much worse off. He may not be in the mist still, but he's still suffering vivid hallucinations while it's still in his system. While he's still mostly lucid, he falls into the realistic visions easily, and can be observed speaking into thin air as if there are others there. Pleading, begging these visions not to leave him alone, claiming that he can be useful. Beseeching them not to get rid of him.
Sometimes he's just curled up on his bed trembling, possibly crying.
He might even hallucinate when someone actually is there, misconstruing what they're saying.
When the visions aren't there, he's...quiet, looking nothing short of defeated.]
[D -Chocobo Sharide Racing]
[Before all that mess, or after he's mostly recovered from it, he finds himself drawn to the sharide racing. The birds are cute and awesome at the same time, and though he's obviously never ridden one before, he's still eager to give it a try. Whether just testing it out recreationally or partaking in some lower level competitions, Lance seems to be having a ball.]
[E - Kites!]
[Sometimes, it's good to just kick back and do something incredibly relaxing. Kite flying? Heck yeah. Lance can be found either running around with or just laying down with a blue kite in the air that matches the rest of his team's. Sometimes he's just content to watch it flutter above him. At other times, he's trying to do some sick stunts, which don't always work.]
[F - Wildcard!]
[Anything! Hit him up anytime, anywhere. On the ships, planetside, network, whatever. Lance is always eager to explore and do things, even though he's going to be in bad shape when he goes to the hospital.]

[Deep breath.]
I can talk to them here, a-and that helps, it does. But I don't remember any of this when I go back home.
no subject
The thing people forget about soldiers, Lance, is that they're people too. And people get scared. And that's okay. They're your friends and your teammates. They will have time for you. It's only you telling yourself that they don't.
[ He sat back, nodding quietly. ]
It's true, we don't remember. Or at least it's the running theory with experiences to back it up. But even if we don't remember, I feel like the things we do here, the things we feel here - they get carved into us, deep inside, and even without memories they stay there in some way.
no subject
He doesn't know if it's just his mind or not. But he wants to believe what Jim is saying, he really does, even if the whispers are telling him it's just a lie, nothing but pity and trying to get Lance to shut up.
But he really wants to believe.]

the bed, wrapping his arms around Lane, rubbing his back and patting
gently. He didn't go so far as to rock, but he held Lance for as long as
the other needed, wishing he could do more than offer words in this moment
for him. ]

[ Oh, Lance. Kirk rose from the chair and moved to sit on the edge of the bed, wrapping his arms around Lane, rubbing his back and patting gently. He didn't go so far as to rock, but he held Lance for as long as the other needed, wishing he could do more than offer words in this moment for him. ]

[It's several minutes before he pulls away, though the arms around him are comforting, and he wipes at his eyes.]
I'm a big mess.

[ Kirk ruffles Lance's hair gently. ]
Don't be sorry. It's okay to let your emotions out. I'm even told it's healthy.
[ He gave him a crooked grin. ]
no subject
[He leans into that ruffle. Reminds him of his older brother.]

Maybe you should take that up again. Perhaps with less tears, but - communication is a two way street, Lance. Your team can't help you address the things bothering you if they don't know what's wrong. And maybe, more than you think is in your head.
[ He tapped Lance's forehead gently with one finger. ]
Trust them, Lance. You've been through so much together, haven't you? Keep that faith.
no subject
...I'll try. I'll do what I can. T-thanks.
no subject
[ Kirk's hand rested gently on Lance's head, tugging him in for a half-hug. ]
All right. And hey, if you need to talk to someone not your team, you can always come to me, okay?

You don't have to think about repaying me, Lance. We're friends. You don't need to repay me for just doing what a friend does.
[ He says friend, but he means big brother. Maybe dad. He certainly cares a good enough deal for Lance for it to feel that way. ]
