[ good morning everyone, hope you weren't hoping to sleep in on this marvelous TGIF, because coming atcha from your very own communication device is one (1) blue paladin of voltron, looking perhaps a little too happy, a little too excited. ]

SUP FELLOW REFUGEES!
its ya boy lance!
so turns out theres a few things about this place thats pretty similar to my home world
and a little blue birdy tells me todays my birthday [ lol it's funny because his phone is blue........ ]

now back home my family would normally throw me a party but theyre uh
theyre kinda busy right now [ you know. fighting for their lives in sleep-mode and all. ]
and its a little too last minute to throw anything together anyway
but that doesnt mean we cant enjoy a few party games right?? [ if you can't already tell, he is pumped. games are, like, the second best thing about parties. (second to presents and cake, of course.) ]

since were all kinda scattered i thought we could all play one over this network
that way everyone gets to play!
the games called 'never have i ever'
and all you gotta do is say something
SOMETHING HONEST
that youve never done or seen or heard or whatever
and everyone who that applies to has to respond to you with a story about it!

[ okay so he... modified the game a bit. normally it involves drinking, bUT WHY ALIENATE THOSE WHO CAN'T, AMIRITE............. and besides if there is no birthday cake to be shared, might as well go for the next best thing, right? embarrassing stories! ] ]

i can even start!
ready??

( ooc; this is backdated to lance's birthday this past friday (july 28). feel free to create your own toplevels, respond to others with or without an accompanying story, threadjack, etc! )

A great idea as always, Princess. [ and tbh if they don't find anything, it will still have been a Good Birthday Spent. ]

If you're already out, and you don't need to rest after, we can just meet up there! One of us will tell Keith, I guess...

[juniberries]

I picked some groceries up from the marketplace so I will have to stop by to drop them off. We can all go together!

[and. she's....right ahead of you.]

I'll tell Keith our plans.

[competing]

Thanks, Allura. I'm already looking forward to it.

[ you probably saved yourself having to hear them argue about it, tbh. why? who knows why, they never need a reason. ]

[juniberries]

Of course! Regardless of our current situation, it will be nice to have a reason to celebrate.

[competing]

Exactly! [ even better if he happens to be the reason, heheheh. ] Despite the rocky start, things aren't looking so bad, you know? This place is almost familiar...

[juniberries]

Familiar in the sense that it reminds you of Earth, or familiar because of your situation before all this?

[being. forced into doing space things, that is.

there's a bit of a pause, and then:]

I will admit, it is easier to start...feeling a sense of normalcy with you and Keith both awake. I am glad we are not doing this alone.

[competing]

[ there's a pause on his end too, a couple of moments to ruminate over her words. he hadn't even considered the second point, to be honest. it brings a light laugh to his lips. ]

Both, I guess.

[ but her other point is far more important, and one he's more than ready to latch onto! ]

You're right, though — it's a lot easier to handle knowing you guys are right here with me.

[ another pause, but this one is much more blatant. and familiar. ]

Of course it's hard to feel anything but at ease around you, Princess.

[ wink! ]

[juniberries]

[Lance can you stop ruining the moment!!!]

I am...glad you find me such a calming presence, Lance.

[competing]

[ no that's an entire season away okay... ]

What can I say, you just have that effect on me.

[ you know. till you get him excited— ]

[juniberries]

[She kind of just. Averts her gaze from the video feed.]

Yes, well, I must go. I am meeting with Keith shortly.

Let us know where to meet you.

[AKA her and Keith are going to bake you a cake (or try to) and she wants you out of their flat.]

[competing]

Wait, what? I thought we were gonna do something together!

[ why are you guys doing something without him....................... ;A; ]

[juniberries]

[because she needs to continue the tradition of making you feel Weird whenever her and Keith go off to do stuff alone together that's why!!!!

but no it's because. Surprise Cake.]

We are! There is just one thing that needs to be done.

[competing]

What... one thing...

[ and why does it have to be done on his birthday? ]

[juniberries]

Something that does not need to involve you! I promise, it will be quick.

[WAY TO MAKE THE BIRTHDAY BOY FEEL SPECIAL, ALLURA.]

[competing]

[ CAN YOU SEE ALL THIS SULKING HAPPENING... ]

Oh. Okay, I guess...
