USER: #DC143C - QUESTION FOR EVERYONE
[ 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.]

I guess it sucks. I'd rather not have to ask it. But back home I made my choice, and I'm okay with it. I mostly just want to get back to make sure it works.
no subject
you made a choice to do something that would mean you're dying, you mean. but if you get back wouldn't that undo your death or something?
no subject
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.
no subject
you had a ship too?
no subject
Well.
I mean I was flying one. I borrowed it, from the base we took out.
no subject
and also someone who takes out ship bases.
what do you actually do back where you are from?
no subject
But yeah, I'm also a pilot. I used to be a paladin of Voltron, but it's been a while.
no subject
and voltron is...? another ship?
no subject
Sort of. It's a ship, a weapon, a warrior. There's really nothing else like it in the universe.
Honestly describing it will make me sound crazy though.
no subject
i mean. i spent three years flying at the speed of light through space on a yellow battleship my sister teleported me onto.
so maybe i am just curious and do not mind crazy-sounding things.
no subject
I mean okay.
Voltron is five individual lion-shaped, warships. Each lion has its own personality and a degree of sentience. Each connects psychically or spiritually or something with its Paladin -- who it chooses. They're made by an alien civilization over 10,000 years ago, out of ore mined from a comet with the ability to rip openings between realities. Anyway, the five lions somehow combine together to form a giant robot fighter that the paladins pilot.
My friends and I found one of the lions and were chosen as paladins after we wound up traveling through a wormhole to meet the last two members of a dead alien race caught in a 10,000 year war for the fate of the universe.
no subject
huh.
ok. that makes some sense. if they are huge sentient warships shaped like jungle cats, aliens sound like a viable excuse.
so these lions get passed down between people or were they just waiting for you guys specifically to pilot them?
wait is your lion thing HERE?
but if you met the last two members of a dead alien race caught in a 10,000 year war for the fate of the universe i am going to guess that also means you guys got roped into being pilots and helping with this war.
am i on the right track here?
no subject
Little bit of both I guess. We happened to come along, but the fit had to work.
And no, no lions here. Too bad. Red would have some pretty clear opinions on the place. Honestly they're not my lions anymore. I'm not a paladin right now. I'm with the Blade of Marmora now. It uh, it's an alien resistance group.
But yeah. We're fighting in the war. Considering the Galra plan to take over the whole universe, fighting against them is a good cause.
Still don't think I'm crazy though? I feel like I should thank you for that. It all sounds insane to me.
no subject
you mentioned that but somehow i kind of thought that was like a cool unit name for being a resistance fighter or something, not like. a whole other thing.
still pretty sweet though.
i would say that is a pretty worthy cause though. and suddenly "crashing a ship through a barrier" makes a lot more sense, too.
but dude no way? i mean yes it does sound a little insane in the way of "most people wouldn't get it" but i am pretty sure everything our our universes back home would make people think me and my friends are insane, too. so it's no big deal! that probably makes two of us. (or like. five. since three of my friends are here, too.)
no subject
Yeah. They're different. The Blade is made up entirely of Galra who are actually fighting against the Empire.
You've got that many people you know here? With you? Were you all together to start with?
no subject
uh. yeah, they're here. but we were not all together to start with. a few of them i have not seen for a while. some other stuff happened. and one of the girls who is here is someone i just left behind.
no subject
Ah well. I mean, if some miracle happens and I live. Then yeah, back to the Blade. We still fight with Voltron as allies, work together and all that. Same side same cause.
Huh. Wonder if that means anything for who gets chosen by whatever brought us here.
no subject
if you get technical about it there are like eight of us and at least fourteen of them, maybe more, plus a couple of other aliens.
our session was a 1:3 ratio though or whatever.
you're here. so it is definitely possible you somehow lived enough to get here.
the good thing is at least the blade and voltron won't turn on each other.
i have been wondering the same thing.
usually there are four of us who stick together, but we have been separated for a few years.
the two girls who are here are aliens but my best bro and i are human.
so like. go figure that one out.
no subject
Huh. Well I mean it sucks you and your friends are stuck here, but good that you've got someone you know has your back.
no subject
wars complicate things way too much most of the time.
[A PAUSE. BECAUSE. Like...two of the people here definitely got him killed on two different occasions and all kinds of fun shenanigans like that, but. Details.]
yeah! i would rather be able to see some of my friends than not. and i wouldn't exactly wish this place on people but who knows. maybe your friends will show up, too.
unless we really are the only people who are supposed to be here. then that just blows even more.
no subject
But as much as I'd like to see them, the universe needs them way more than I do.
Besides, I don't plan on sticking around here either way. We're going to figure out what's going on here and who's responsible for it.
no subject
we've already been here longer than i thought we would be.
so if you have any ideas or plans to go toward figuring this shit out, let me know.
[Somehow...forums. Whatever.]
no subject
But not over this network.
Whoever brought us here gave us these stupid laptops. There is zero percent chance they're not reading every word we say on here.
no subject
you're right.
they gave us laptops that were all pre-programmed for us and gave us hex codes.
which makes this even creepier?
they're probably reading and also watching us from somewhere else, but at least we have some change of privacy offline.
no subject
But sensitive information, even if there's no guarantee they're not listening to us otherwise, that needs to be kept off the network or we have to assume they'll know too.
