Hello, internet peoples!

[ Getting right to the point, Vaas pans the camera around to show the Red Lion of Voltron sitting in the hangar, now sporting a fresh coat of thick black tiger stripes. ]

Anyone want to help me get this tiger I found into the atrium? I will give you some steaks for your trouble.

[ Fair warning: these steaks are made from the Fek Vaas and Reaper killed during their hunting expedition. Also they're going to have to dismantle the Red Lion. It's not going to fit through the doorways. ]

Because you painted them on. That doesn't make it a tiger.

[juniberries]

I have been face to face with worse.

[shabby]

I like tigers. We have tigers on Rook. Man-eaters. Lots of people die every year because of the tigers.

[shabby]

No you haven't. But it's funny you think so. I like that. Bet we could've got a lot of money for you back on my island.

[bayarm]

That's great for you, but it doesn't mean you can just go around painting stripes on other people's property, or claiming it as your own.

[shabby]

Sure I can. Already did.

[she is not about to go off about how she stared down the monster who destroyed her father, her planet, and her entire way of life, but ancestors it is so tempting.

but this man has no right to know that. ...but that last comment...]

And what is that supposed to mean?

[shabby]

[ He shrugs, like what he's about to say is as boring as discussing the weather. ]

Lotta people liked the mouthy ones. You know, most of 'em cried or screamed, usually we had to kill them because they got so fucking annoying. But Hoyt always said he could get the most for the tough ones. Told us to keep those ones alive.

[ WHAT ARE THOOOOOOOOOOSE ]

Wh-- you put that lion back the way you found it this instant!!

[shabby]

You don't listen so well do you? It is where I found it. I'm trying to take it out, not put it back.

[ HE IS KEEPING HIS TIGER. x-( ]

[bayarm]

Not successfully.

[ the stripes were successful, maybe. the rest won't be. ]

[shabby]

You sure are a pessimistic motherfucker, aren't you?

[bayarm]

No. I just know who the Red Lion belongs to, and it isn't you.

[shabby]

You must be confused. This is a red tiger. I can help you look for that red lion you're talking about.

[bayarm]

No.

[shabby]

Okay. Good luck in your search.

[mullet]

[ This can't really be where the argument is going. This is so... childish!! ]

What? Are you kidding me right now??

[shabby]

[ Welcome to how it's done in Rook, cocksucker!!! ]

Don't worry. We'll find you a lion somewhere.

[mullet]

[ Keith is now in the hangar. In fact, he bursts in and knocks a few people over in his haste to get inside and the skid he has to make to stop. He's embarrassingly furious about all of this and winds up bellowing from across the way. ]

You can't even operate it, you—you idiot!

[shabby]

[ Vaas hears the commotion easily. The hangar's got a high ceiling and the sound echoes. He glances over, hands on his hips, and shakes his head in disappointed disapproval. ]

You don't operate tigers, hermano. They operate themselves. Real ones, anyway.

[ Reaching up, he raps his knuckles against the Red Tiger's leg. ]

This one's a statue.

[ Other people have not succeeded in convincing this guy to act otherwise but-- ]

I don't think that belongs to you...

So you really like the tech, huh?

[shabby]

What tech?

[shabby]

I do.

[ He moves to the back of the cat and turns the camera so a view of its butt, helpfully labeled VAAS' TIGER in black paint, is visible. ]

See?

[coran]

You shouldn't be doing anything with it, let alone-- let alone painting it! That lion was built exclusively for Paladins of Voltron to pilot! No one else! That's all!!
