Who: Keith, Everyone
Broadcast: Open
Action: Huntress, Iskaulit, Planet
When: April Catch-All?

=====

[ video - backdated to shortly after Mikleo disappeared ]

[Keith showed up on the feed, looking mildly annoyed and somewhat disappointed... not the usual face of someone who was about to make the following announcement, which, for most, would likely be more bittersweet.]

Drift Fleet... I wanted to let you all know that Mikleo has left the Fleet. That means, the Huntress has a new captain. Atroma apparently decided that should be me. [Why does this keep happening?] That's all.

[He switched the feed so it was private to Lance.]

Looks like I need a First Mate. You up for it?

[Just like back home, right?]

=====

[ action - huntress/iskaulit - before arrival in system or while in system, your choice ]

[So, Keith could now be found trying to familiarize himself with everything else on the Huntress in an attempt to at least be a decent Captain. Thankfully, this was a lot less pressure than being the leader of Team Voltron. Still, it was a responsibility, and one that had once again somehow dropped in his lap, but he was going to take it seriously all the same.

If this had happened before his time in the abyss, he might have tried to find someone else to do it. However, he was willing to accept his fate.

When not doing that, he could be found doing his usual routine around the Iskaulit... obstacle course, gym, getting food... The Lion's Den felt empty lately, and, since he and Lance were on the same ship and the Blades had ended up picking a different spot for themselves, it seemed silly now. He kept it anyway... just in case anyone came back.]


=====

[ action - planetside catch-all ]

[Keith was definitely taking on odd jobs here and there to fetch things from the surface or go hunting. Exploring was a thing, too. Glowy forest? Cool. Of course, shopping because... why not? And then there was the water park and the VR. Lance did manage to get Keith to the water park. Not that he hated it, but he didn't really like crowds. However, it wasn't all terrible. He still had fun. And there was, of course, the VR stuff. That he liked a lot. Care for a game?]

[The loss of Mikleo was...well, it hurt, on top of all the other losses. He'd been a crewmate and a friend for a very long time now, but as things stood, it was probably for the best, with Sorey gone and all. He could only pray that things worked for them back home in a quicker manner than Mikleo was implying.

And wow, yeah, he's 100% unsurprised that Keith got chosen to be the next captain. A long time ago, he would have been annoyed at this, once again excluded from an opportunity to lead, but now? Well. Keith was his leader, and that was fine.

He gives him a little smile.]


You know I'll always be your right hand man.

You always can. Letting you down is basically, like, a cardinal sin to me, y'know? I'll do everything I can to help.

Congratulations on your promotion. I'm sure you will do fine running the ship.

[There's a hint of a small smile from Hux as he is pleased to see his young friend gain such a promotion. He believed it was well deserved.]

I wouldn't sweat the captain thing. [Who said anything about Kieth being worried? Manji goes ahead and just assumes things.] When I first got here my captain was a mad woman. I don't think they put any thought who runs things around here. So good luck.

[ Guess who else is doing odd jobs on the surface? This guy! Eithan is up here collecting a bunch of a certain kind of flower, for whatever reason, and he's trying to dodge all the ridiculously huge bugs and animals in the process. He might not be some skilled survivalist type, but he knows how to not die in the face of extremes, at the very least. Even if some most of it is just sheer dumb luck. ... Let's just hope that keeps up.

He's covered in dirt and soot, and there's a ring of crackling fire spinning around his hand, but he looks at least a little bit pleased with himself. He spots Keith, and with a grin and a wave - of his other hand - calls out to him. ]


Yo. You're up here too?

No problemo. Just let me know what I gotta do. Not sure how first mating here goes, honestly.

[Be proud of him, Keith. He hasn't made an actual mating joke yet.]

Sounds good. I'll give him a call or a visit soon.

If you need any advice, don't hesitate to ask. Not every leader has always had the experience before hand. Many have earned it much later.

You're welcome. So basically don't be an asshole. No one likes an asshole leader.

Hey, not a bad idea! [ Nod! ] I'd be up for that.

Well right now, I'm lookin' for these huge red flowers... [ He lets the fire around his fingers vanish before he pulls one out of his bag to show Keith. ] No idea what they're used for, but I'm pretty sure the reason they asked me to get 'em is 'cause there are these huge bugs that really like 'em. I've already had to kill a few. [ He makes a face. ]

What're you after right now?

Perhaps, it helped for the fact you felt more ready for the role and were ready to accept it. Where the last time you were forced into it.

[ jesus h christ these two are going to be covered in yellow lmao Eithan snorts when he gets a look at the picture. ]

That's a vegetable? Weird... At least it probably stands out, lookin' like that. [ Beat. ] Wonder what it tastes like though...

Oh? Did you have an insane captain before?
