[ 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.]

[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.

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?

planetside - SWIMMING

[epistemically]

[ She remembers talking about all the things they could do as a family while he slept in his crib -- trips to the park, swimming, hiking. All the things she couldn't stay and do when the Galra showed back up for the Blue Lion. She's excited, however, when she was asked to join Lance and Keith to go swimming. An actual, normal family trip?

Count her in. Lance had helped her find a white swimsuit and black shawl to wear, though now that they were in the park? Other than swimming she has no idea. ]

Well, what do you two want to do first?

[Tim had arrived a little later than normal at the Iskaulit's obstacle course. He may have fallen asleep in the library again and thrown his schedule off by hours but he's sure he can do catch up.

But he's not used to being here at this time and therefore not used to seeing the young man currently running his own set course. He stands and watches for a short while, before deciding there's nothing stopping him from joining in.

How Keith will react to seeing a domino masked individual also running his obstacle course he doesn't know but hopefully, it won't be hostile.]

[The city is too much. Too many people, too much noise, too bright and shiny. One hour in, and he's had enough. He hangs around long enough to finagle a job, and then he's booking it out of there, not paying attention as he knocks into someone. Sorry, Keith.]

Out of my way, please.
