[ yet another new face. but someone familiar with it might recognise that shiro is presently inside the castle of lions. ]

We’ve all been told about the anomalies; I got the welcome package same as everyone else, I assume. But I’m wondering — is this still the same galaxy? The same universe? Before I came here, I was falling through a wormhole.

[ for a moment, his expression shifts from neutral to something sad, almost pained. it doesn’t last very long. he wishes he knew where the rest of his team was, whether they’re all right. at least allura is here, but pidge, keith, hunk and lance? he can only hope they're okay, and the forced inactivity doesn't sit well with him. ] I come from a planet called Earth, but I recently learned that there are a lot of space-faring races in the galaxy and that most of the galaxy has already been taken over by the Galra.

Does any of this sound familiar?

[ from what he's seen on the network so far, the question will likely be answered in the negative, and so a moment later he adds: ] If it doesn’t, and this is another universe, — any ideas on how to get back?

( ooc; and for all your ooc plotting needs, shiro on the intro/cr meme! )

[BUDDY it's likely pretty bad. at least let her have a look at it (and then shove you in a healing pod).]

If our schedules line up, then-- [a pause] Actually, speaking of, I'm curious.

What job were you assigned on the ship?

[ but she's at work. she can look at it after. for now, shiro can't quite hide the flash of displeasure that crosses his features at her question, though he tries. ]

Hand model at You Should Have Put a Ring On It, apparently.

[that's!!! she frowns. the irony isn't lost on her but that's really...cruel...?]

I'm beginning to think these are not randomly assigned jobs.

I was wondering about that myself.

[ it feels like perhaps someone is mocking him, or amused at the discomfort it already has and surely will provide. maybe he can just use his left hand? ]

You should ask for a different job.

[or maybe he can just leave his right hand over at work and not have to go into work....

she'd never suggest that though.]

I don't understand why they refuse to give us suitable jobs. Even if we were brought here supposedly by accident.

[ he'll just take the opportunity to not talk about his job, how's that? ]

I suppose they don't trust us yet with anything important.

[i mean, she does understand that. if anomalies were bringing strangers onto her ship she wouldn't necessarily give them important roles.

............the five Paladins of Voltron being an exception obviously but that's because she knew that's why they were there. eventually.]

Not that I blame them, but making you a hand model is downright insulting.

I'm not happy about it.

[ that's as much as he's willing to say on the matter. he knows how to use the prosthetic, it's not that he hasn't ever shaken anyone's hand with it or touched someone casually, clasped a shoulder — but it isn't part of him. it's galra and with haggar's voice still ringing in his ears, it feels more foreign than ever. ]

[she can tell he doesn't want to continue talking about it, so she won't belabour the point.]

Well...if you haven't yet, feel free to make use of all the usual facilities on the Castle-ship. I haven't checked if the Gladiator is in working order, but everything else in the training deck is functional.

[better than doing push ups in your room lbr.]

And let me know if you plan on returning to the Eluvio today. If not, I can bring you back something to eat.

Thank you, Allura.

[ he hadn't even thought about food yet, but it's a good point. after a moment's hesitation, he offers a bit of a smile. ]

Could you bring me something that's not green?

[cue eyebrow raise]

What's wrong with the colour green?

Nothing per se.

[ how does he put this?? ] But I want some variety.

Oh? But there are various green foods I've discovered in the shopping center.

Like...a vegetable called "brussel sprouts."

[OF COURSE SHE'D LIKE BRUSSEL SPROUTS what is the Altean dietary palate. who knows.]

But I can pick up some other sort of food.

If they have steak, or pizza, that would be amazing.

[ oh god why does she like brussel sprouts what is this. and shiro normally eats more healthy food than pizza, but after everything? he figures he's allowed one indulgence. ]

[brussel sprouts are good and have a very strong bitter flavour and the running joke is that Alteans like disgusting foods so!!]

I will ask around and see if any of the vendors sell those.

Oh! I've also grown fond of this drink called a fruit "smoothie" and they can come in a variety of colours and flavours. I could pick that up for you as well.

[can you tell that she's just??? happy there's someone else in the Castle now?]

Only if you really don't mind.

[ does he feel a little bad for asking her to do this even though she offered? he sure does. ]

I could also take Black over to the ship and we can go to the market together. Then you won't have to take a shuttle.

Of course I don't mind. I did offer, after all.

[and she's still going to pick up brussel sprouts for herself. also you didn't tell her what kind of pizza toppings so that's On You if she comes back with like.

pineapple. or anchovies.]

And both you and Black should remain in the Castle. I don't mind using the shuttle system, and you need to recuperate.

Thank you.

[ not moving for a while actually sounds pretty great? but it's also a luxury he's not quite sure he can afford, mind still whirring.

he won't even hate pineapple or anchovies. so long as it's pizza. ]

[it's a luxury Allura doesn't always give so take advantage of it Shiro.

but she nods.]

I'm just glad both you and the Black Lion are here safe.

[she's said that countless times but it's the truth. ff camera there's the sound of the shop bells chiming, and she turns away from the comm.]

I have to go, but I will get in touch later. And I should be back soon...with the pizza.

[ he's aware of that — but shiro is much more inclined to give his team a break than himself, and they're not here right now to ask him for one.

still, he'll do as she said. recuperate. ]

I appreciate it, Princess.
