=====

[Keith was really getting tired of being dumped in places he had no idea where he was. He knew he was on one of the DF ships that had shown up in the hangar. After they'd started losing a lot of their crew, Keith had started seeing what a basic Atroma ship looked like without upgrades as they'd lost the upgrades on the Huntress as the people who had the augments for them disappeared.

Though, he knew this wasn't the Huntress. It hadn't been in the hangar. It had to have been one of the ones that was in there.

First things first, though... He grabbed the communicator.]

[Video - Private to Lance]

Lance? You still here? It seems I'm on one of the ships in the hangar... but I can't get out.

[The feed would show Keith attempting the various doors and hatches that might lead out of the ship to see if he could escape... but nothing.]

=====

[Video - open to all]

Hi, uh... If we haven't met, I'm Keith, Paladin of Voltron.

I was the last captain of the Huntress in Drift Fleet before coming here. And it looks like we've been put inside those ships that were in the hangar. They're basic. Some of these ships had been upgraded and changed before we came here, so I'm not even sure if they're the real ones or something constructed from old blueprints.

Either way, it looks like we're stuck inside for a while. And they still aren't running, even with a pilot augment.

[Keith had noticed his pilot augment from DF wasn't working anymore, and had tried the data point near the ships to see what he got when the hangar first opened up. Granted, it meant he didn't have the medical knowledge anymore, or the farming knowledge he'd gotten first, but this was fine. It was familiar. Though, he was reluctant to try another data point any time soon.]

Are any of the other ships working? Are all of us stuck inside?

=====

[Action - open to all - throughout the event]

[Keith would be doing his best not to freak out at being stuck. Being inside a small ship wasn't bad if the ship could move, but these couldn't, and that was not a good thing. He was restless and frustrated, concerned about his boyfriend being on a different ship, and really worried about them being trapped inside the ships without being able to move them.

He would attempt to do his best to work with anyone who tried to get the ship running or the doors to open. He wasn't the engineering type, but he knew basics from having to repair his own hoverbike back home sometimes, and he didn't have the engineering augment, so he probably wouldn't be a ton of help, but he'd work as much as he could. Keith had trouble being idle.]

Comments

[tempredmental]

[Keith gave him a small smile.]

That doesn't surprise me. Though, I'd be pretty sore, too, if you did that to me.

[the_tailor]

Puh-lease. Like I said, you know me by now. I'm the clingy annoying boyfriend who texts you like four thousand times while you're at the bar at your friends.

[Okay, maybe an exaggeration, but after everything that's happened over the last few years? Yeah, Keith has become his only stability, and he won't let go of that.]

[tempredmental]

Oh, ugh. Please. That would be really annoying.

[Keith smirked a little, teasing a little in the hopes that he could lighten Lance's mood a bit.]

I'd have to turn off my phone.

[the_tailor]

Counterpoint, I would have bribed Pidge into installing something in your phone to have it turn on when I texted you.

[It...is helping a little. Even if it's making him miss him even more.]

[tempredmental]

EVEN WORSE!

[But kind of amusing all the same... when he really thought about it.]

That's not cool.

[Keith pouted a little, but then glanced at the screen out of the corner of his eye to make sure Lance was watching. He wasn't good at keeping a straight face when he was legitimately amused.]

[the_tailor]

Awwww man, you're adorable when you pout.

[He chuckles. Yeah, Keith may be a grownass man now, but he still definitely looks adorable at times.]

[tempredmental]

Hmph.

[Okay, but that got a small smirk.]

Yeah, okay. Whatever.

[He was trying hard not to blush.]

You're cute, too.

[the_tailor]

[Let it happen, Keith. Lance finds it incredibly charming and cute and he adores it.]

Am I now?

[tempredmental]

Yeah... you are.

Don't let it go to your head.

[the_tailor]

Awww, but I can't help it. How can I, when I have the most handsome guy in the universe saying that to me?

[tempredmental]

[Keith flustered...]

I- [Huff.] No...

[What are words?]

[the_tailor]

Except yes, gorgeous.

[Flustered Keith is amazing and adorable and Lance will never be able to get enough of him.]

[tempredmental]

[Keith sighed, still unsure of what to say next.]

Whatever...

[the_tailor]

Too much?

[He's trying to distract himself with flirting, okay. But he doesn't want to make Keith uncomfortable, even if they have been together almost two years.]

[tempredmental]

[He shrugged.]

It's fine.

[He was trying unsuccessfully not to blush.]

[the_tailor]

[Cute blush, even if he can barely see it over the screen...]

You sure? I can shut up if I'm making you uncomfy.

[tempredmental]

Lance.

[Keith sighed.]

It's fine. Really.

I'm just glad we can talk to each other right now.

[Being stuck on separate ships really sucked.]

[the_tailor]

Okay. Yeah. ....I am, too. Think we could just...keep talking for a while, while we're stuck here? I mean, not 24/7, obviously, but...

[God, he hates this.]

[tempredmental]

[Keith quirked an eyebrow.]

No, Lance. We can't talk... ever again.

[He shook his head a little.]

Look, it's a little impractical to leave them on connected just to each other all the time, but yes. We can... and will talk. Okay?

[the_tailor]

[Despite all logic, his heart drops for the briefest of moments-- Okay, no. Keith would never actually say that. Doesn't mean it isn't one of his deepest fears, though.]

Ah...Um, yeah. We will. I'll call pretty often, but I'll try not to be too overwhelming or anything. Just tell me if I start getting naggy or something.

[tempredmental]

[Keith cringed a little. Too much sarcasm... Oof.]

Sorry. [He nodded.] It's fine. I don't mind. Really.

[the_tailor]

No reason to apologize. And okay. Right. Good.

[Nodnod.]

[tempredmental]

[Keith frowned a little.]

I got you upset. I need to learn to do better.

[the_tailor]

You know how sensitive I am. 's not your fault. I know you didn't mean to get me upset.

[tempredmental]

I guess. I mean, though, knowing that, I should still be more careful. I was never great with that.

[He shook his head a little, and then sighed.]

I'll try to do better.
