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.]

[Lance is...extremely confused, to say the least.]
no subject
[He pushed his hands up into his hair, hunched over his knees and trembling with no way to really get his anger out.]
no subject
But ouch at that situation.]
Keith...
[He reaches out, very gently placing his hand on his shoulder.]
That sucks. That really, really does suck. But you found her. You met her. And when...
[Lance bites his lip. It does hurt saying this, after everything here.]
When you go back, you'll get to talk to her and get all your answers.
no subject
Yeah... but... when? When is that going to happen? How long do I have to wait?
[His voice shook a little, but he pulled himself out of his tuck and turned to cling to Lance, burying his face against his boyfriend's side.]
It's not fair.
no subject
[Be strong for Keith. That's what he has to do. He goes to rub at his back, trying to soothe him with his touch.]
no subject
I'm sorry...
[He didn't pick up his head to speak, so his voice was muffled oddly against Lance.]
I... I want... I want to be happy that we're together again, and that you're getting better as a Paladin with a new bayard and all that... I just... [He squeezed Lance a little.] And, honestly... it kind of stinks that I can't get my answers and still be here with you.
[It was a crappy choice... a really crappy choice.]
no subject
You were never the first choice to begin with, and you'll never be, his traitorous mind whispers.]
I know. I know, Keith. It's... It's fine. I don't blame you for... I know that's more important. I can't fault you. I just hope you get all the answers you need. That you can be with your mom. You don't have to be happy here for my sake.
no subject
I don't want to lose what we have.
I want both. Why can't I have both?
no subject
[He'll do anything for Keith to be happy here.]
no subject
I hate Atroma. It drags us here, then send us home, then drags us back, and I just... Why can't we remember when we go back? I don't want to lose what we have here. It's not fair.
[Knowing that they'd come so far, only to have to backpedal every time they had one of these time jumps because things changed and they were shoved back into a place where they were just starting to be friends... it was frustrating.]
Nothing's ever fair. I don't know why I ever expect it to be anymore.
no subject
[He sighs, nuzzling into Keith's neck.]
I know we'll get there one day. But I cherish this. So, so much. And all I can do is keep on doing that, keep loving you.
no subject
Maybe... maybe she'll come here... and then I don't have to worry about it... right? I mean... there's that chance, too. Yeah?
no subject
[It's clear he's just teasing about that last part; don't worry, Keith, Lance isn't making you put a ring on it anytime soon.]
If I'm lucky, she'll have embarrassing baby pictures of you.
no subject
[He didn't remember her in his life at all, so he had been really young when she left. Anything she had in the way of stories, Keith wanted to hear, too.]
Her name is Krolia.
no subject
no subject
[He sighed, trying to push away from that.]
Yeah...
[He almost said that he hoped to get the chance to know her, but he knew that was just going back to the whole, "here vs there" issue, and he didn't want to keep dwelling on that. He had no control over it, and he knew it made Lance feel bad. Hell, it made Keith feel bad, too, because it meant he had to choose between his mom and his boyfriend, and that was a sucky choice to have to make.
So, instead, he pushed against Lance, guiding them both back into laying down so he could cuddle against him, seeking comfort for a situation that had no easy answer.]
no subject
[He talks gently, running a hand through Keith's hair. He just had to swallow his pride and feelings for the time being.]
Mama said I was the worst by far out of everyone. Apparently I was so much that I was the reason she decided she'd had enough children.
no subject
That doesn't surprise me.
I sincerely doubt anyone would have been as fussy as you.
[Keith pressed his face against Lance's shoulder.]
You still whine a lot.
[He was trying to tease, trying to stay lighthearted. It wasn't easy.]
no subject
[For reasons Lance can't understand sometimes. He hums, giving a kiss to his forehead.]
no subject
[Keith smiled a little.]
Still with you.
[Keith leaned into the kiss, and then hugged Lance tight.]
It makes me happy.
no subject
[Lance would do anything to see Keith smile. Anything. He hugs him closer.]
no subject
no subject
[He nods, kissing his temple.]
Your smile makes me happy.
no subject
[That was sweet and all... but...]
What about things not about me?
