video | un: blacklion

[lionunchained]

[So the video opens with Shiro sitting in his room, trying to shift the camera and seeming to have some trouble there. Was it Shiro? Some people might question that given the fact that his hair is entirely white now]

So I got one of those canisters. You know one of the ones that gives people new memories. It seems to have made a few... changes to say the least.

[He adjusted the view to temporarily show his right arm... or what would have been his right arm, now a metal stump cut off at the bicep. After a moment, he brings the camera back to his face]

I'm still trying to wrap my head around everything I've found out, but in the meantime, I'm pretty much stuck here in the house. Dog who won't let me out of his sight and a robot lion who also won't let me out of his sight.

So if you don't see me around for a few days, that's why.

[ooc: Shiro has now been canon updated to the end of season 6]

If it wasn't for the evil arm clone space lion thing you'd be really boring.

*Subtle, Lola.*

...That's terrifying and sounds really lonely.

[lionunchained]

[What an odd way to kick him when he's down...]

It was. Both lonely and terrifying. I was basically alone though I knew what the Black Lion was seeing. But even though I could, I wasn't able to speak to anyone. I almost reached Lance once but the connection was gone before I could explain.

[threatenwithcuteness]

*Not her fault he's boring.*

That- yeah, that's sorta what all my nightmares are like.

Without giant robot lions.

Or evil clones. Or evil arms.

But the rest of it.

[lionunchained]

I'd be worried if your nightmares did include evil clones or prosthetic arms. That would be too much of a coincidence.

[He's not boring; just not her variety of exciting. It's his story and he's sticking to it]

[threatenwithcuteness]

I've been a bitchy mean version of myself before. I hated her. If I had nightmares about that it'd make total sense.

*Suuure, whatever you say.*

[lionunchained]

[Uh... okay. If you say so]

How did you become a mean version of yourself?

[Going to refrain from pointing out she called him boring because he doesn't want to dye his hair funny colors...]

[threatenwithcuteness]

*Don't mind if Lola's response is choppy, like she both doesn't want to say it, but feels it's the best way to explain herself. She's clearly leaving out details, but trying to leave in as much as she can.*

Um, there was a thing, it made everyone's timelines go all screwy. Some people got younger, or older, or something in their past changed.

My past changed, I grew up into a different person. She was super smart, studied all the time, and hated everyone. She didn't wear colors, barely washed her hair, and generally just- like, wasn't a good person.

[lionunchained]

[Some of that he wonders how that makes her a bad person, but he has a feeling she's also no saying everything based on how broken up her explanation is. Either way, it wasn't his to discount her feelings about this alternate version of herself]

I'm sorry to hear that. At least things got better?

[threatenwithcuteness]

Yeah! The whatever it was ended, I turned back into me, and I just have a lot of really complicated memories of someone else in my head. Someone who never lived, a ghost who never was.

*Complicated memories of how Dolores hated cute, pink, the nickname 'Lola.' Her friends, how she can be 'happy.' It's not Lola's favorite thing in her head.*

I guess I'm not as normal as when I got here...

[lionunchained]

You say my world is weird. That's not something I've heard of happening back home.

I guess we both have pretty strange home lives.

[threatenwithcuteness]

I guess if this is home now, my home life is pretty weird.

But where I'm from I just had to worry about boy drama, friend drama, and that abortion one time.

[lionunchained]

I think everyone's lives are pretty weird thanks to this place.

[Boy, the more he learns about her... He's not sure he has the mental capacity to ask about that last one. And its really not his place even if she volunteered. So he's going to leave it alone]

But your life was hardly boring at home.
