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?]

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]

something

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.

saaaaaame oh my god... those women are awesome

[tempredmental]

that sounds disturbing

no offense

[Keith could get on board with the idea of racing, but... to kill people? And for points? Sure, he knew they weren't exactly kill free when it came to the things they did with Voltron, but they tried to at least minimize casualties... It wasn't like they did it for sport.]

[500gallontank]

probably is

world's fucked up.

more fucked up: people pay to watch it.

[tempredmental]

well

people pay to watch fights

they pay to watch a lot of things that seem weird and messed up

[500gallontank]

they are weird and fucked up

some of them volunteer to get killed.

that's fucked up.

[tempredmental]

yeah

thats one way of thinking about it

[People volunteering for it? Yeah... that was a whole host of other potential issues that Keith didn't really want to get into.]

[500gallontank]

You got another way
?

[tempredmental]

honestly

not really

[500gallontank]

[ Yeah, exactly. ]
