[ 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! )

( just wait, Shiro. just wait for the day they end up with a mission that requires dancing choreography. the day that Victor's skillset will finally shine.

thankfully, that is not today, nor any day in the known near future, and so here Victor is, trustworthy enough and fascinated by what Shiro's telling him. )

A castle capable of flight? That's... incredible, really. I'd love to meet Black anytime that's convenient for the both of you. And see this castle in the sky.

( he wonders if the "lions" part has to do with heraldic imagery or associations, but figures he can ask about that later. )

[ when that day comes, shiro will bow to viktor's superior knowledge of these things. until then, he's pretty well-equipped to life in space, at least ]

Let me settle in a bit, and figure something out.

[ they're actual robotic lions... how's that for heraldic imagery. ]

( he holds up a hand, both a stop gesture and also an open palm display. )

Of course, please, take your time. There's hardly anything urgent in satisfying one man's curiosity.

( his smile is both part of his public face and also genuine enough; he means what he says. )

Good luck to you with settling in.

[bayarm]

Thank you.

[ and right now, he might not feel too social, what with his side still aching and recent events making his mind whirr, but it's good to make contacts, and so he smiles, too. ]

Let's keep in touch.

[genice]

( he smiles, making a rolling gesture with one hand. )

Of course! You have my number, in a manner of speaking. Get in touch anytime!

[bayarm]

I will.

[ shiro lifts one hand — not flesh and bone but technology — in a silent goodbye. ]
