voice; Awake is difficult and no one understands

[promiselisting]

[ Huh. Here is an unusual thing. Futaba is not usually one to use voice (or anything besides text) on the network. Maybe she wants to reassure other people with her voice and to hear theirs? Maybe it has something to do with the fact that her voice is still a bit muzzy with sleep. Maybe text requires more coordination than she has right now.

Either way, she's got an important post from her sort-of-brother to follow up on. ]

So.

[ There's a long, pregnant pause. ]

How many other memes are you all familiar with? Scientific curiosity.

[ She's been getting reputations up until now. The girl who gathers information. That one who really really mistrusts the Curti Center and is not afraid to be vocally critical of it. But it's past time she showed the world here who she truly is-

a shitposter. ]

...What's a meme?

[daggercubed]

Seconded. Can you cook one?

[He doesn't bother to say anything, he just...

Turns on the video feed.

And dabs.]

I...

[ She should have thought of this. Abort mission. Abort mission. ]

... I brought this on myself.

[promiselisting]

... and no, you can't.

[ Give her a moment. ]

[promiselisting]

[ There is. One second of ringing silence at that performance

and then Futaba erupts into ugly, braying laughter.

Oh my god Lance you are the absolute best you're her new favorite but oh my god give her a minute. ]

[daggercubed]

Oi, that doesn't seem too useful, yeah?

[His face scrunches up.]

Are they hard to kill? Dangerous?

[balancingedge]

I'd say "ask Lance", but I think he's already covered that.

Glad to hear you're up again.

[littlemhigan]

They at least useful fer sommat besides eatin'? I'ven't even heard the word before today.

*stamps his ticket... TO HELL*

[daggercubed]

Wait!

I think I heard you can use these things on ships!

[littlemhigan]

That so? I'm not much fer sailin', ye see. How'd one use it on a ship?

[daggercubed]

I don't know, exactly. I overheard something about memes and ships going together perfectly?

After Ganeshan's post

[ Oh my god both of you ]

Describing what memes are is like... literally an impossible task. And you’re somehow making it harder!

[promiselisting]

[ oh goodness she’d barely recovered from Lance’s dabbing and now this ]

This. This is a work of art.

[daggercubed]

...so they're complicated?

[acceptedlife]

[There's a picture of Moglina holding up a sign and looking rather perturbed.]

I LEAVE POST-IT NOTES OF EMOGIS ON GIANT MECHANICAL ROBOTS AND OTHER VARIOUS PLACES THAT'S WAY TOO HIGH FOR ANYONE NOT A NINJA OR DRAGOON TO REACH
(And expect the owners to reach them)

[littlemhigan]

They clearly can't be too bad if ye can explain them te someone in the first place. An' what do they have te do with ships?

[spaceforged]

Science, huh? Are you sure- [He lifts his hands up and with a kind of half grin on his face says.]

'Aliens'

will actually know about memes? [He drops his hands and shrugs.] Though technically we're all aliens here. So, anyway, welcome back.

voice;

[promiselisting]

He- yeah, he really did.

[ There’s still hints of laughter in her voice. ]

Glad you guys got my message.

[ She... honestly barely remembers making it. Just that she didn’t want people to worry and Ren gently prodding her to eat and drink occasionally, just like Sojiro would have. She needed to thank him for that at some point. ]

[...

Keith turns, and stares at Shiro.

Then squints slightly.]

...What? [Seriously, what the hell, Shiro?]

[video, but also in person (for Keith)]

[spaceforged]

[He grins at Keith then looks back at the screen.] See?

[video, but also in person (for Shiro)]

[balancingedge]

[He sighs, frustrated.]

Look, I still don't understand why I wouldn't just say "Voltron" in that chant of Lance's. One person says it. There. Done.

[Why are you like this.]

[video, but also in person (for Keith)]

[spaceforged]

[He coughs and it sounds suspiciously like a choked off laugh. He totally isn't laughing here.]

That's because you break it up into parts. One says, 'Vol' the other says 'Tron'. Then together you say 'voltron'.
