When: Day 6, afternoon
Where: The Ruined Hull
What: General exploration post!

[ The Ruined Hull has been unlocked! The go-team has been in the area for a while, the stay-team members who are so inclined have probably meandered over here somehow by now -- time to go exploring, but keep an eye on those suit power levels ♥ ]

Almost. [ HE SEES WHERE THIS IS GOING. ] I'm not doing this again! You taste it, this time!

[dateme]

Hahaha! Okay, okay~ [ He may be awful but he isn't entirely unfair. Inui pulls the pear back, fiddling with it in his hands. ]

And if I turn blue...

[ DEEP PAUSE ]

...At least my colour scheme will match Ashla's. Or I'm suffocating. So do something okay?

[ceruleo]

Just like...lick it a little at first, or something.

[ He can't help the little shadow that flits over his features when he realizes Ahsoka hasn't told Inui her real name; it's a weird feeling, of two 'friends' being strangers to each other. Whatever, he tells himself, it's her business who she hands out her name to. Besides: this is probably gonna be fun to watch. ]

Besides, basic first aid is part of our pilot training. You're in good hands.

[dateme]

You're a pilot? [ He kind of...vaguely recalls something or other about Lance mentioning that, but it hadn't really stuck in the wake of killer bugs from space and freaky alien ships. he keeps forgetting that Lance really is more used to this sort of thign than him.

He seems so...normal. Like the other guys in his class. It's weird being reminded he's anything but your standard young adult. ]

[ceruleo]

What, did you already forget? Pilot of the Blue Lion, Paladin of Voltron, at your service.

[ He's a little puffed out. What can he say? He's proud to strut out his status. ]

[dateme]

That would sound more impressive if I didn't know you. [ JUST TO BE CLEAR. Because it does sound impressive, he just has also seen Lance in action....and he drools a lot.

But yes. Inui brings the pear up and readies a bite. ]

Wish me luck.

[ceruleo]

[ Just for that, he's not offering any more words of comfort. Lance salutes. Good luck, cap'n. ]

[dateme]

[ #bros

But yeah guess that means it's bottom's up, so Inui will steel himself a moment or two before he goes and takes a bite out of the fruit--and immediately makes a face. Because holy crap that's sour??? He's used to pickled plums but holy crap. ]

--Whoa.

[ceruleo]

[ Ah, shit. ]

What do you mean, 'whoa'? It's not toxic, is it? Man, you took a big bite, too...!

[ Fussing, he moves closer to Inui, grabbing the other boy's face to make sure there isn't any swelling or strange spots going on. ]

[dateme]

[ Aww....Lance that's oddly sweet?? And it makes Inui blink for a moment even as he keeps chewing until he can get the stuff down. ]

No, it's not... It's just super sour. I doesn't taste like poison. [ Can you taste if something's poison?? Who knows ]

[ceruleo]

[ LOOK, he went through a lot of effort to keep you alive, he's not gonna let you kick the bucket from some fruit! ]

Super sour? Man, don't eat any more--we gotta wait.

[dateme]

[ Lance......u a sweetie ]

Until what, my stomach melts? It's seriously just...super-sour.

[ .... ]

I don't feel sick Lance. [ "I'm okay." ]

[ceruleo]

[ elevator pitch: 'lowkey fuccboi u can take home 2 mama. will love ur mama more than u' ]

Have you like, never taken a biology class? You could be fine now and puking your guts up in an hour!

[dateme]

[ i laughed really hard, you're terrible ]

I could puke it up right now if you're worried♥ [ Inui holds up a hand and wiggles his fingers. ]

[ceruleo]

[ Eyeroll. ]

This suit has seen enough puke, thanks. We gotta see what kinda effect it has. C'mon.

[ He sits down in the moss, patting the spot next to him. ]

Sit down.

[dateme]

[ It's oddly...not dorkish of Lance, and that's probably why Inui has no problem coming over to sit down beside him, yawning a little as he leans back on his hands. ]

Pretty crazy that we're in an actual alien spaceship, huh?

[ceruleo]

[ Lance is about to answer 'sort of, not really', when he remembers that to Inui, it is pretty crazy.

Which makes him realize that, yeah, it is definitely pretty crazy. ]

Y'know, not too long ago, I didn't even think aliens existed.

[dateme]

Ashla's my first. [ Inui nods to acknowledge Lance, looking up at the ceiling as he inwardly hopes whatever he just ate doesn't melt his insides. ] I always sorta pictured them looking like monsters, you know? But she's actually pretty cute.

[ceruleo]

[ The corners of Lance's mouth curl up, and he lets himself flop next to Inui, looking up at the leaves of all the trailing plants. ]

Right? Some of 'em do look pretty gross [ thats so racist ] but the movies weren't kidding about space babes. Have you met Allura? Tall, dark skin, pointy ears with white hair? Totally gorgeous. And Ashla...man, you think she's into me?

[ Nobody's into you, Lance. ]

[dateme]

I thought she was an elf, [ Inui admits with a blink, glancing over briefly before he follows Lance's gaze upwards and look idly at the sunbeams streaming down. It's remind him of a zoo if it weren't for the metal hull bit. ]

I don't think Ashla's interested in anyone though... Too bad. I'd date her. [ Just saying. But he's willing to date any girl so long as they're cute. ]

[ceruleo]

Allura's an Altean, and pretty much the first alien I ever met. She totally swooned at the sight of me.

[ Small detail: she was coming out of cryosleep after ten thousand years...

Lance's mouth presses into a thin line at Inui mentioning he'd date Ahsoka; he's about to say he called dibs, but that's too gross even for him. ]

[dateme]

Swooned? Haha, no way... [ He doesn't buy anyone swooning over Lance unless they're about to pass out from oxygen deprivation. Sure Lance can be "heroic" and honestly? Actually pretty cool when shit hits the fan, but nothing he's seen about his ability to handle girls suggests swooning. Just saying. ]

Actually that reminds me...you remember who woke you up?

[ceruleo]

[ He's about to respond 'yeah' when his mouth snaps shut.

Because the answer is no, he has no clue. ]

Um...? [ Man, that can't be right. But he'd woken up in the desert alone under the burning sun, and it had taken several minutes before he'd found Allura. ] I don't remember. I don't think anyone did. It just opened by itself.

[dateme]

...Wait, you serious? [ That wasn't the answer he was expecting. Inui remembered his rude awakening--Ashla--and he expected Lance to be the same. Huh. ]

Was anyone else awake when you came to? [ You weren't the first, were you Lance? Because he's sorta been trying to figure out who that was. ]

[ceruleo]

No, it was just me. [ Because NO ONE HE HAD A TDM THREAD WITH ENDED UP APPING. ] I ended up finding Allura later, but she was alone, too. Dunno who opened her pod, but hers definitely opened after mine.
