Hello,
How is everyone? Are you all sleeping well?

[ After at least three rough drafts, and one peer review by her (illiterate) roommate, Juvia has finally arrived onto the network with a post she can be proud of. ]

Juvia has been thinking. Are there any stories you all like?
Or, maybe, things from your home you want to share. It could be anything. Your favorite food, person, book, or place.
I will share something to start: Juvia would bring her guild, Fairy Tail, if she could.

Thank you

you think thats all itd take to make them taste like hers?


and we just call ourselves a team! team voltron!
since thats the name of the combined ship we end up piloting together

[lacuscular]

If it isn't that, you should probably have someone else make it.

Team voltron! That sounds very strong. Lance, is there a meaning behind the name?
Also, what type of ship do you all sail?

[competing]

true true
maaan if only my buddy hunk were here
hes so good at that kinda stuff

uh im not entirely sure about the name actually! it was already named that when we got to it
were sort of the second generation of pilots
so its not actually a sailing ship its actually more like a space ship!
except its not shaped like one
we all fly individual like...
giant robot lions
that all come together to form a giant robot man



look it sounds weird but i swear its all true

[lacuscular]

Hunk? [ Woah.. He must be really good looking if that's his name...... ] What else is he good at???

[ Well, good thing Rocket literally explained to her what a robot was a while ago, otherwise she'd be even more lost than she is right now. ]

Ah. Lance.... to be honest, it does sound weird.
But why would you all need to become a giant robot man if you already have the lions?

[competing]

oh man hes great at so many things!
hes like
an actual genius you know??
hes an engineer so he can pretty much figure out how anything works
and then make stuff do what he wants!
and hes always solving all kinds of problems with pidge
thats another one of voltrons pilots
pidge is ALSO a genius but most especially with like
computers and junk

[ he's surrounded by naturals and geniuses... see now why he has such a complex... ]

and we form voltron because were like ten times stronger as a team!

[lacuscular]

[ Juvia feels infinitely more relieved that he explains who those people are before she can even ask. She is Definitely in the loop now if they ever wake up. ]

They both sound like very important parts of voltron!
So what is it you do for the team then, Lance?

1/2

[competing]

[ —him?

what does he do for the team... ]

2/3 jk

[competing]

[ oh, you know, he'd say. i'm the team's sharpshooter. haven't had a target yet i can't hit. need the path cleared? i'm your man. not to mention i look dang good while doing it, too.

but the words don't come quite as easily now, displaced as they all are. he isn't a genius. he isn't a natural. heck, nine times out of ten, he isn't even sure it would matter if he was there or not.

what can he even say to that... ]

3/3

[competing]

im not really sure most times
but i guess it doesnt really matter now

[ they don't have their lions, they don't even have most of the team. with the orbiters around, is voltron even needed? ]

[lacuscular]

Oh Lance

[ Don't feel gloomy, is what she wants to say. While she loves the power of text, seeing words like that smack dab in her face makes her chest ache. She's not sure if he means it in a.. in a self-depreciating Juvia kind of way, or a regular nonchalant kind of way, but she worries regardless. ]

Juvia knows what you were!!

[competing]

you
do?

[ was she there all along?! ]

[lacuscular]

[ No...she wasn't. But she will pretend to be as long as she has to to get her point across!! ]

You were the glue that kept everyone together!

1/3

[competing]

[ the ]

2/3

[competing]

[ —glue? ]

3/3

[competing]

[ she tried... ]

thanks juvia...
but im pretty sure it was the whole
'defending the universe from evil aliens' thing
that kept everyone around

[lacuscular]

No
No problem Lance... it's okay

[ ugh....she feels heartburn from how terrible this response is.. how embarrassing!!!!!! she should've kept her mouth shut!!!!! ]

But they're your friends, aren't they?
It couldn't have been solely that that made you all get close..

[competing]

[ noooo don't feel bad, juvia... you did great... lance is just a Dumb. ]

well yeah
i mean everyones great and we get along real well
thats just how they are

[ ish. but for as perceptive as lance can be, he can't often see his own affect on people, perhaps a little too preoccupied paying too much attention on everyone else. ]

[lacuscular]

[ one day she'll make him understand....one day ]

So then you knew them before you all became a giant robot?

[competing]

[ i Believe ;n; ]

yeah!
well
most of them anyway
shiro i only sort of knew from legend - he was kinda this ace pilot from our program
then me hunk and pidge were all assigned together as simulation partners!
and keith
well keith was in the program before me
but we had classes together

[lacuscular]

That sounds similar to Juvia. I had someone I was close with before joining Fairy Tail.
Except, we didn't form together to make anything. But we were in the same guild.

[ It's nice, getting the chance to learn more about her friends. Even if she will probably know none of these people.. They sound interesting! ]


So.. What did your program aim to do with its students?

[competing]

space exploration, mostly!
though my program in particular was meant for fighter piloting
but we did general piloting stuff too...
like for example our last simulation was about rescuing other aircrafts!

what kinda stuff did you do with your guild?

[lacuscular]

You wanted to become a pilot then?
Is it important, or did you just want to do it??

For Fairy Tail.. It varies, Juvia notices. Mainly, what is done consists of taking requests or jobs.
Sometimes we would go out and do nice things. Like being together.

[competing]

i guess kinda both?
my sisters in the military too and shed always talk about all the important things they were doing
and i dunno
it sounded like something i wanted to be a part of, you know?

but hey thats nice too!
you kinda make your own rules and stuff as you go along :)
like one big odd-jobs family

[lacuscular]

Juvia thinks that's nice. It sounds something like the beginning of a family tradition.
Are you the older, or the younger sibling?

Oh yes. It's like that. Fairy Tail still has rules, obviously, but many members just end up doing whatever they want despite that. There is a lot of freedom that comes with being part of it.
Fairy Tail is where I made the most friends I have ever made. So Juvia agrees completely, they definitely are Juvia's big, odd-jobs family. ( ^:

[competing]

oh im the youngest of four!
i got a pretty big family

[ can't you tell, juvia... ]

but thats neat!
it sounds like itd be a lot of fun
im looking forward to meeting them when they wake up :)
