[She sits by a window in the Observation lounge, listless, staring at the stars. The shine has long worn off on them, even before the last few days she found herself thinking them a little dull. Is it nothing but darkness out there?
Movement draws her attention from the corner of her eye.]
[Of course it is. She just — well, a wolf indoors is an odd sight indeed, she assumed it must be a rather wolfish-looking dog. But then again Diluc had a bird of prey with him.
The beasts approach is met with a smile, open hands. Rosamund even gets off her seat and on her knees, holding hands out to sniff. She'll scratch his ears if she gets permission.]
He's beautiful. You're a stunner, do you know that Kosmo?
[Then after a beat.]
You were with us when the lockdown happened. Am I remembering that right?
[ kosmo sniffs, giving her a look, before nosing her hand. permission granted!!
keith smiles a bit, warm, seeing her reaction to kosmo. and praising him. everyone loves the baby...]
I was yeah. It's still hard to process that all of that was real, even after everything... [ they sure did watch a man just drop dead. (even if i, nina, thought it was not real...sweats.)
holds paws out.... we will have a normal, fun thread soon, also... ;o; promise!! ]
[ a wonderful day.... for a rift to open up and swallow them both into a void space!! as the darkness lifts, they find themselves amongst a memory, one of keith's. unfolding before them like a movie. ]
the blade of marmora. a secret organization comprised of individuals who oppose the galra empire and are working on taking it down from the inside out. the voltron team has located one of their many secret bases, thanks to ulaz, an agent they met well aboard a galra curiser some time ago. it was thank to him that they made it out of there alive, even if he did not...
the base is smack dab in the middle of two massive black holes and after coming into contact with it, they are to only send two people and to come unarmed. shiro and keith will be those two. and with the help of the red lion, they are able to travers the push and pull of the two black holes, safely landing and being met with several blade members.
kolivan. the leader of the blades. he is sharp with his words and also his senses, as he realizes keith did not in fact come unarmed. and it's not the red lion that is the weapon in question, but a knife that keith has had since he was a child. something his father gave him, before he passed.
shiro thinks they should leave and kolivan agrees, but keith refuses. he must find out what this blade means. who is it that once possessed this blade and how did it end up on earth, with his father.
perhaps there is a way to learn... but only by trial.
[It is excruciating and it is long. She can feel the weight in her own bones by the time the memory drips her back into reality, as if she'd taken his bruises and run his miles.
Strange, though. She's come to think of space and all its metallic implements as wholly separate from the earthen and arcane home she knows. But the way the blade transformed at the end — that was the stuff of story, through and through.]
After all that time...it's always some tricky little moral, isn't it?
[They're in the Black Hole on Station Rodin. It's time to be awkward at the club.
Not that Rosamund seems deterred.]
The last time I came to a place like this the vampires lured me to a back room and tried to drink my blood. But this time! We'll get to dance, properly!
We had gone there to investigate, sort of. They told me there was an interesting underground hunter who could be found in the back, and I thought hey, that's a lead! I should check it out!
[In hindsight?]
Of course I feel really stupid now, but. You live and you learn!
Yes, actually, I did have Sidon and Eunhyuk. [Which makes the memory all the more bitter now.
She swallows and looks out to the throng.]
Honestly? I really, really want to figure out these dance moves. I know the kinds you might do at a ball but this is a very different energy. Care to teach me?
[ tosses them into the preservation biome, specifically the second floor! aquarium!!! ]
Ah, I hope this is cozy enough, Princess. We can check out the other floors, if you want.
[ biggest things, since she's been gone... keith is missing his right arm, but has a prosthetic, and kosmo is a little bigger! and may occasionally blip/teleport at random... tmw your dog is the one with powers. ]
WEEK 0: Second Sunday
Movement draws her attention from the corner of her eye.]
...Is that a dog?
[sorry pet cr is mandatory in this house, gimme]
no subject
keith was going to ask how she was doing, considering the hell weekend that has just happened, but this is fine. ]
A wolf, but same difference. [ kosmo tilts his head at her ] His name's Kosmo.
[ keith gives him a pat on the head, as if to say "go say hi, bud". and he does just that, trotting over to rosamund. henlo. ]

I'm sorry... what? [ just blinks at that. ] How did that even happen...

You make a fair point, it's the only way to learn, even if you have to be stupid sometimes. [ nods and smiles a bit. ]
Well, thankfully we're not here to do any investigating, and can just enjoy ourselves. What did you want to do first, Princess?

he looks out at the people dancing, trying to figure out exactly what they're doing. seems everyone is doing their own thing. ]
Me? I'm not really much of a dancer, to be honest. But for you, I'd be willing to give it a try. We can learn together.
[ he'll hold his hand out for her! ]
week 6, saturday
Ah, I hope this is cozy enough, Princess. We can check out the other floors, if you want.

[Also looks at him.]
...Right, you...the other week. You were on one of those excursions. [The limb choppy kind.] Are you quite all right?
