Okay, okay so apparently they are trying to festive or something. And to be honest, I'm complaining about the gift though I think I'm already being typecast.

[He held up what was clearly a pink horse plushie though the horse was fluffier... a glownie. You visit a herd of miniature glowing horses a couple of times and suddenly even the world is thinking you are THAT guy]

But I could really do without the glitter. Don't they realize how hard this is going to be with a robotic arm?

[He sighed]

Never going to get this out.

[lionunchained]

Yeah, that one did a lot of things. As much as I disliked it on principle... it did save my and my friends' lives many times.

I don't know that we've gotten to that point of ultimate peace of mind... but there was something oddly pleasing about attacking them with their own creation.

[kyley_b]

So a silver lining to a shitty situation.

Yeah, I can imagine. I think that's a perfectly normal way to feel, too. So you got away and now you're here. Covered in glitter.

[lionunchained]

Yeah, it was.

[He chuckled at that] Funny how that happens. A mighty fighter and paladin of Voltron... a magnet for glitter.

I'm Shiro.

[kyley_b]

Oh, definitely exactly how you want to phrase it on your resume.

Kyle Broflovski.

[lionunchained]

I'll remember that. If we ever need resumes here, that will be on it.

Nice to meet you.

[kyley_b]

Yeah, probably not. Although everybody probably should have a list of skills so we know who ought to do what... I guess that's a bit overkill.

[lionunchained]

No, I think having a list as to who had what skills would be useful. Wouldn't want to ask someone to garden when they were actually a doctor back home. They might still be willing, but then we wouldn't know they could provide medical care.

[kyley_b]

Yeah! And if we have gaps, we can see who can use which data point, right? Like I'm scared of hospitals but if we need a medic that's too bad, I'd suck it up and touch the magic glowing ball.

Like this is basically society in miniature. But not late stage capitalism so it's actually like we could theoretically do better!

[lionunchained]

Exactly. A miniature society is a good way to describe it. We could also figure out where we are lacking if we know what we have like you said and who is willing to learn more to fix that.

More efficient that way.

We might have to share this idea so that people can figure out their skills.

[kyley_b]

Dude, yeah!

Do you know a lot of people here already? I'm still figuring out who is who.

[lionunchained]

I'm still working on that too. I haven't been here that long. I at least have two friends from home so that helps.

[kyley_b]

Whoa, yeah.

I think I might be the only person from my version of earth. So that's kinda weird.

[lionunchained]

I'm sorry to hear you are the only one. That would make it a little weird. If your version is much different than the others, then references about yours won't be understood by others.

[kyley_b]

I think some people's is pretty close.

Hey. Be honest. Do you think we're gonna be stuck here for years?

[lionunchained]

That's good at least.

[Shiro considered that for moment]

I'd like to say we will find a way out quickly but based on talking to others, we have to be prepared to be here for the long haul. Some have already been here for quite a long time.

[kyley_b]

Yeah. That's kinda what I right, too.

Well. All the more reason to band together.

[lionunchained]

I agree. We can't really do our best work if we aren't working together.

[kyley_b]

You get it.

Okay, well, I guess I'll get on that. Trying to organize people, I mean. I can't imagine many people won't want to work together here. [Optimistic idiot here.]

[lionunchained]

I certainly can't understand why they wouldn't. [Okay, maybe he can, but he's so optimistic that it's hard to want to burst his bubble]

Let me know if you need any help at all.

[kyley_b]

Oh, I'm sure I'll need help. So, thank you.
