Video Open | un: blacklion

[The video opens with a rather hesitant looking Shiro. There's really nothing behind him as of the moment, but he does glance over at something almost right as the video kicks on]

So... it seems this place just keeps getting weirder. It seems we had some recent arrivals from our world and well... it's better to show you.

[He turned back to whatever he had been looking at]

Come here. You can come here.

[Faintly in the background there was the sound of metal moving off screen then something walked into view of the camera so others could see it. It was quite clearly a black robot lion with glowing yellow eyes, several panels glowing blue, and red wing like protrusions on its back. It's was larger than a normal lion. It walked over and sat down next to Shiro, leaning in as though trying to figure out what he was holding]

This is the Black Lion of Voltron. However, its usually not this... small.

[Yes, he is calling a robot that's larger than a normal lion small]

I'm usually shorter than Black's foot. Let me see it.

[This he says to the lion, which does raise one leg to let Shiro have its foot, but it basically drops all the weight into his hand which makes him flinch]

You are still made of metal and heavy.

[Someone might be able to faintly hear the snickering in the background, but then the next thing that happens is that Keith suddenly fell into the frame of the camera as though shoved by something, a vague red blur before it vanished. Shiro jumped when this happened and the Black Lion got up heading off camera again only to return a moment later carrying a smaller red lion by the "scruff" of the neck as Keith sat up. Shiro just put his chin in his free hand watching as Black carried Red off before he remembered this was still rolling and turned back]

They don't know their own strength.


[ooc: Meet your new neighbors, two of the lions from Voltron! Black is about the size of large liger and Red is the size of a small lion. They are... slightly more active than normal, but will probably be around their specific paladin for the most part.

Either Keith or Shiro is available to answer. If you have a preference or if your character is pinging a specific person, just let us know. It can even be both if you'd like! If no preference, random response.

The log where they arrive is still ongoing]

[ That's probably the weirdest thing X'rhun has ever seen, and this coming from a cat man who dresses like a musketeer. ]

What... what are they? They look to be magitek but they certainly don't behave like it.

[ Hana had sat through the video with some confusion until Shiro made the introduction— at which point she'd pretty much rocketed off her and Genji's couch and started getting dressed, all while squealing and watching the video feed. In the end she could only offer a text response because she was already getting the hell into her mech. ]

IM COMING OVER RIGHT NOW

Are those the robots that Keith told me about?

[She stares at the screen.]

He had made them sound bigger. Can I ride that one around?

[She points at the screen but it's hard to tell what she's pointing too.]

Huh.

They are cute.

But... I expected them to be a bit bigger...

They're Altean robots. But... they're oddly small here. We usually ride inside them.

[Keith had Red come over to him and open her mouth.]

See that round piece in the back? It's a laser canon. There's a hatch behind it that leads to the cockpit. Usually, it's way more than big enough for one of us to get in there.

[The Lion closed her mouth again.]

To give you a sense of perspective, Red's usually big enough that just her nose is the same height as me.

Yeah... they're actually a lot smaller than usual. I don't really get it, but... they're still the Voltron Lions.

That frankly raises more questions than it answers.

[ There's a note of good humor in his voice at least. ]

They seem to be machines, and yet they behave like... like they're alive. And if they're normally as large as you say, why are they... not?

Hmm...

*Give her a moment, she's thinking.*

Maybe they were bigger, but the portal on this side is too small so they shrank.

[ Some number of minutes later, what could by now be the familiar sound of Hana's mech boosting through nearly echoed through the garage as she came down the entrance and then landed with its feet on the pavement. The boosters were out, momentarily, so she had to trudge through the rest of the way to make it to where she thought the two Paladins and their Lions were - she had recognized it as near the same spot that used to be allocated to her mech before she moved to a new place with Genji.

She didn't bother parking when she arrived, just kind of leaving the mech in the drive aisle as she ejected and landed on her feet with a little hop, hastily walking over and - yes, she did remember to put pants on - putting her hands on her hips. ]


... they look smaller in real life.

It's definitely not that speeder you were telling me about, but I think those rank above it anyway. Do they have names? Like. Steve, or Bob or.. Big Cat and Little Cat..

Just like the store.

[This was only getting stranger, which was saying something considering Ed's history.]

I've never seen anything like this before.

[ Fortunately for all, there were no traffic accidents involved in Hana's endeavor to get to the communal housing garage as quickly as possible from her and Genji's new residence. By the time she arrived to the basement level her mech's boosters were on cool down and she covered the rest of the distance on mech foot. She didn't spare a moment once she found the "mech parking" area, ejecting out of her mech and leaving it in the driveway without regard to anyone who might need to pass through. Because, whatever, they could always drive around her mech and if they accidentally hit it, she'd be more worried about the other person's car than about her mech.

Regardless, once she'd landed on her feet and walked to Shiro, she was folding her arms and her eyes were glued right to the Black Lion. She wasn't wearing her flight suit, but her usual casual wear of pants, a shirt, and a jacket. She was silent for a long moment just looking at the robot... lion... thing before she finally spoke up: ]


Guess you can't really pilot it at that size, huh?
tempredmental: (Confused Or Worried)

[personal profile] tempredmental 2017-09-10 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know how they ended up this small here, but, as far as we can tell, they're sentient enough to have something like the intelligence of an animal. Maybe a little more. Some machines can be programmed to be smart enough to seem alive. I think that's what's going on with these guys. They were made in a way that makes them able to act like their alive.
tempredmental: (Wait What?)

[personal profile] tempredmental 2017-09-10 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
So, like... they stayed the same size relative to the portal?

[Like... maybe the portal they found back home was bigger? He considered it. It kind of made sense... but...]

Then why didn't Shiro and I shrink, too?
tempredmental: (Mou...)

[personal profile] tempredmental 2017-09-10 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
They're... actually, yeah. They're smaller here than they are back home.

[He shrugged.]

We can't figure out why.

[ hello, twin. and twin's... friend? ]

So.... they just showed up? And they're robots? They're kinda cute.
tempredmental: (We Did Good)

[personal profile] tempredmental 2017-09-10 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
We just refer to them by color... So, mine's Red. And Shiro's is Black.

[Not very original, but the Lions didn't exactly introduce themselves with names.]
