[ video | un: redpaladin ] - backdated to July 8

[tempredmental]

I guess this is what you do when you're new? Introduce yourself on the network. So, yeah. I'm Keith, the Red Paladin of Voltron.

Uh... nice to meet everyone, I guess.

[All the awkward. What is this 'being social' you speak of?]

Comments

[sweetlies]

[He would apologize but text is the easiest for Ciel. Damn 19th century.]

quite so. and you are a paladin, my aunt and uncle would be pleased to meet you.

[tempredmental]

oh

i guess thats a good thing yeah?

[Though, he had to think about that for a moment. After all, was he really a "paladin" in that sense of the word? He supposed, on some level, he could be considered that. Just with a giant robot lion instead of a horse.]

[sweetlies]

i believe so. my uncle is the head of the order of the british empire, a distinguished knight.

[What's a giant robot?]

[tempredmental]

british?

like england?

[So, yeah... weird stuff like being compared to an actual knight aside, this person was apparently from a version of Earth. Keith was hopeful for at least a little bit of familiarity.]

[sweetlies]

exactly so. we live in service to queen victoria.

[Is this familiar enough?]

[tempredmental]

[If he remembered his history, yeah, definitely.]

victoria

so youre several centuries in the past where im from

[sweetlies]

am i.

[This place is certainly way ahead of his time, that's for sure.]

[tempredmental]

yes

[Eh? Keith was confused by that response. Was it a question?]

[sweetlies]

[He's not good at technology, okay? The 1800's are far behind.]

i do hope that will not make things complicated. even with years between us, i believe my uncle would still be interested.

[tempredmental]

well as long as it still is the same thing

im not sure how much has changed for a 'paladin' since your time to mine

[Not to mention it was for an entirely different race. Though, he was pretty sure it was mostly the same.]

[sweetlies]

typically a knight renowned for heroism and chivalry.

does that match up.

[tempredmental]

kind of

we are defenders of the universe

i guess it works

[Which required some level of heroism in battle and chivalry during interpersonal relations, he supposed. So, yeah. Close enough.]

[sweetlies]

the universe, how bizarre.

how could you possibly defend something like that.

[tempredmental]

it isnt easy

we use wormholes to get around faster

[sweetlies]

wormhole, i do not believe i know that term.

[tempredmental]

its something where they create a tunnel through space to connect two points together

it shortens travel

[sweetlies]

i see. how interesting, i never heard anything of the sort.

[tempredmental]

well we hadnt really either

not beyond some scifi movies and theoretical stuff

so finding out they were real was actually kind of cool

[And came in very handy when they had to run away from their first encounter with a Galra ship.]

[sweetlies]

i fear i have no idea what movies are either, i fear.

and these simply exist then or are they manmade.

[tempredmental]

oh

no movies

ok

um

moving pictures?

[sweetlies]

[He has to take a moment to thing but-]

ah i recall one. last year in leeds. very short but fascinating.

[tempredmental]

ok

so we have those

theres a version of them that focuses on a lot of futuristic stuff even for us

and some of those used wormholes in the stories

[sweetlies]

i see. i should see if i can see them here. it would be an interesting experience.

[tempredmental]

[It'll probably blow your mind, Ciel... try the 3D ones.]

theyve come a long way too

you might be really surprised

[sweetlies]

[Only if anyone really wants this kids head messed with.]

i will have to watch for them then.
