USER: #DC143C - QUESTION FOR EVERYONE

[lonered]

[ USER: #DC143C ]

Hey. So...

...

Question for anyone. Or for everyone I guess.

How sure are you that you're still alive? Back where you're from I mean.

Like on a scale from 1 to 10. Where 1 is "I definitely died" and 10 is "I'm definitely still alive" and everything in between.

Thanks in advance. I know it's a weird question. I just... I gotta know.



[He's asked some folks, but the results so far are mixed. And Keith needs to figure out one way or another if this is just some weird unexpected afterlife, and he's at a solid 2.5 on his own scale so he's wondering.]

It is. And that's why the war is important. People deserve to be able to just live their lives.

[lonered]

Yeah. Everything is an unknown. That's by far the worst part.

And I don't know. I mean don't get me wrong, I'd be pretty psyched to be alive. I don't have a death wish. But if it means that my ship doesn't collide with the barrier, if it means that the shields don't come down, then that's a huge problem.

Again. I don't know what my being here means. Except that it really ticks me off.

[lonered]

All right. I've got you down for team among the living.

Thanks for answering. It's helped to hear everyone's answers. I think.

[flamebringer]

What about your own answer?

[lonered]

Two.

But even then, it'll be a one in about a minute, if I make it back to that moment.

[flamebringer]

My condolences.

Would you prefer to stay in this dreary world, then? Rather than return to your own?

[satanslash]

oh yeah uts fucking great

I love having peoole whi don't even know me hating me for crap i had nothing to do with

[lonered]

It was my choice.

And nope, not even a little. I want to get back where I belong, even if that's dead I just want to make sure that my being here doesn't disrupt the collision. I need my friends to be okay. The universe needs them to be okay.

[lonered]

Yeah, I get that. It sucks.

Anyone who's heard of the Galra aren't exactly super excited to meet one. Even half of one. And for good reason. The Empire is awful, has done terrible things. But there are still good people, even among the Galra, fighting on the right side of things.

[messianic]

I think I understand... still, maybe there's a way for both you and them to be safe. Right now, it feels like there are a lot of possibilities in a place like this.

[Bleak as it may be.]

[lonered]

Maybe.

Hey. It'd be pretty great to stay alive. I can't pretend otherwise.

[whereabout]

We're going to have to work for it, I guess.

[lonered]

Yeah. Not going to be easy, I'd bet. But we have to figure it out.

[satanslash]

... its

its kinda weird to meet someone who like

actually gets it

[windeity]

i think a lot of us kind of feel like that. we're still lost on why we are here but it sucks.
you had a ship too?

[lonered]

Yeah. It kind of is.

...

I'm Keith.

[lonered]

Agreed. The not knowing anything is infuriating.

Well.

I mean I was flying one. I borrowed it, from the base we took out.

[satanslash]

[Aww they made friends.]

I'm Rin.

[lonered]

Good to meet you.

Over weird old fashioned texting... thing.

[Smooth as hell as always, Keith.]

[flamebringer]

To face death is worth the reassurance that those you care about are safe, is it? I can understand that.

You must have quite the friends, if your entire universe relies on them.

[lonered]

They're definitely something, yeah.

They're the paladins of Voltron. And they're the only chance there is of ending the war.

[satanslash]

[Don't worry, Rin is dumb and awkward. You two will get along great!]

someone called it a forum?

[i_cant_die]

I'll remember that. Thank you.

[flamebringer]

The name is unfamiliar. Admittedly, the concept of multiple worlds is unfamiliar as well. I'm still wrapping my head around it.

[messianic]

That's the spirit.

[Really, what else can he say at this point...?]

Until we know for sure otherwise...let's hope for the best.
