week 4 afterparty

[ well, that was definitely A Trial.

however, oda understands that everyone must be feeling a little heavy, considering the death of someone like jughead and whatever bullshit dazai said earlier.

so, at everyone's door is a note that says the following:

If you don't want to be alone, come to the diner.

There's food.


oda himself is at the diner, although there's no food on his table, nor is he being a very good host of a party. he's just sitting alone at a table next to a window, staring out of it in deep thought. ]

I'd have to take you if anything. You wouldn't be able to pilot Black.

[Not to mention the obvious fact that the last time he'd seen Black, its power core had been completely depleted and was drifting offi in the bowels of space, decidedly not answering his calls. He's still looking up rather than looking at Kino.]
quickpersuader: (Because we can)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-10-29 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Black?

[Now she's just curious.]

The Black lion.

[It's not much of a clarification. But since he knows that's not going to satisfy Kino's curiosity, he adds after a moment:]

A spaceship.

[...Thanks Keith.]
quickpersuader: (the mountains)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-10-29 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Thanks Keith.]

Tell me more about it?

[It's pretty open-ended though. He doesn't have to.]

[There's a lot about his world that just takes too much effort to explain. Questions just keep leading to more questions and none of the answers are really all that pertinent to the immediate reality of the world they're currently in. Black, after all, isn't showing up at Cartesio -- he;s already tried calling the lion to him and it hasn't gotten him anywhere.

It's upsetting; he might've gone a little stir crazy trying this while he was in jail. And in the end, he still hasn't quite figured out what to think about it. There's a bit of a pause before Keith answers the question, still avoiding eye contact.

Black's one of the five Voltron lions. Spaceships created with Altean alchemy. We use them to fight the Galra.

[All stated somewhat flatly, distantly.]
quickpersuader: (so the Beautiful World....)

Spaceship... lions?

[That's the part she has the easiest time grasping.]

Spaceships that look like lions, yeah.

[Just don't ask him why Alfor made them lions or why lions even existed on Altea cuz hell if he knows.]

...Right, You don't know what spaceships are, do you.
quickpersuader: (we travel the world)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-10-30 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty sure I saw what was the first human in my world to create a working flying machine.

[So. Yeah. Space is a bit beyond her.]

[...They don't even have the word "aeroplane" in Kino's world. He'll pause for a moment before continuing.]

The stars up in the sky. They're all planets and suns that you can travel to if you have a spaceship.
quickpersuader: (the sky)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-10-30 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
[No they do not.]

And that's why you were able to meet an alien race, too... Even if they conquer everything.
marmoron: by request of the icon creator, pls do not take (appraising)

[personal profile] marmoron 2018-10-30 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
Not just one alien race. Multiple.

[....Ah shit, maybe saying that was a bad idea. Kino is one of the "chronically curious" and Keith's still not very good at story time.]

Space is a big place. [Colossal understatement.] You really would have to be immortal to see it all.
quickpersuader: (Somewhere I think)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-10-31 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
["Chronically curious" does not even begin to cover it.]

Immortality wouldn't even be enough to see everything on one world.

Seeing the universe would need... Mm, what's the word. Omnipotence?
marmoron: marmoron (aneurysm get)

[personal profile] marmoron 2018-10-31 10:56 am (UTC)(link)
Omnipotence, yeah.

[But she's also getting a shrug.]

Can't wait for that one to be offered up as a motive.

[Can't wait for someone to also not know what that means and kill a dude.]
quickpersuader: (turns into a cloud)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-11-01 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
I wonder if the Sergeant really has the guts to offer something so close to godhood...
