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?]

[500gallontank]

what makes you say otherwise

?

[Oh, heck no, he's not falling for you.].

[tempredmental]

[Falling for what? It was a legit question!]

because it is?

i dont get why anything would NOT be worth saving

[500gallontank]

[Falling for any of this hero optimism nonsense stuff. Weirdo. ]

you haven't seen the UCA

people don't have anything

don't want anything

don't care about anything

other than being entertained

[tempredmental]

[Not everyone was a jaded ball of pessimism, either. Not that Keith didn't have his moments of that, either, but still... he had to have a goal of some kind.]

no

i havent seen that

what is it?

[500gallontank]

[ You say jaded ball of pessimism like it's a bad thing. ]

United Corporations of America.

what's left of the US after the war
drought
famine

[tempredmental]

corporations

like companies? private business?

im from the us

its not like that for me

[500gallontank]

businesses

America's owned by the Chairman of the UCA.

he's a dick.


and you're lucky

[tempredmental]

owned

that sounds kind of creepy

[500gallontank]

it's how it is.

Who's in charge where you're from

?

[tempredmental]

well

i was in the galaxy garrison

the academy was lead by a guy named iverson

kind of a jerk

but its a government

like elected people

theyre in charge of things in general

laws and stuff

[500gallontank]

guys in charge tend to be jerks


[In Frankenstein's experience. Which isn't much.]

someone elects the chairman

i think

or did

they make whatever laws yield the best profit.

[tempredmental]

so you have no say over who's in charge of the country?

[500gallontank]

do i look like i have that kind of money
?

[tempredmental]

money?

you have to pay to vote?

[500gallontank]

to be on the board of directors

even then, not sure they really tell the Chairman what to do.

[tempredmental]

so

theyre the only ones who can vote

[500gallontank]

yeah

Not that anyone else even knows what to vote for.

They just want their holo vision.

[tempredmental]

i guess

that sounds pretty bleak

have you tried doing anything about it

you cant be the only person annoyed by it

[500gallontank]

leike what
?

there's the resistance, but they're full of shit.

[tempredmental]

but theyre doing something right?

thats better than nothing

/bad mun watched new Voltron season today! :D

[500gallontank]

they're getting more publicity for the race
that's what they're doing.

haha yeah me too... I have a long train commute to work, so I downloaded it on my tablet

[tempredmental]

what race?

keith's got a good arc in it!

[500gallontank]

The Death Race.

Not my idea.

Just the only thing I'm good at.

OMG, he does... so does Lance, honestly... and Allura. I was so happy.

[tempredmental]

what is it?

I know! I want to know more about Lotor and his team, too.

[500gallontank]

What it sounds like.

A race.

You kill people.

For points.
