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

I take it you weren't expecting them.

[ Can we say effing COOL? Yes, yes we can. Marinette doesn't curse though, so.. ]

No WAY...! They are so COOL..!

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...

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

So.... they just showed up? And they're robots? They're kinda cute.

[ Well this is certainly an interesting development. Non-animate objects had come through the portal before, that much she's fairly sure of, but these lions ... she finds herself watching them when they come on screen closely. It's easy to be taken in by this kind of thing, though.. hearing that they're much smaller than they were previously is a bit jarring. Imagining them to the scale that Shiro describes is...

Well, massive. ]

They're very interesting. Do they have built in AI for that kind of behavior, then?

[ Trying so hard to sound unimpressed. So very, very hard. So very unimpressed. ]

Cute, but what's their alt?

[Lyle watches this out of curiosity only be surprised when he actually sees, yes there are in fact robot lions. Not that he had actually doubted it, but now he can see them]

Well, it looks like you have more proof now than a magical transforming weapon huh.
