[ Crystal | Messenger Bird | Action ]
Hey, beautiful. The flowers by your room are looking down. Need some help taking care of them?
[ On this day, Allura will receive a visit from a messenger bird carrying what appears to be a letter and something rectangular hanging under it, connected together by a string wrapped around the envelope.
It drops it off with her, and the rectangular "thing" is actually a case with separate compartments (think of a pill box), very plain and cheap, except each compartment have small labels on them with a single word on top: 'sweet's, 'dry', 'sour', 'spicy'...
There are two of the sweet labels, and what they're about is explained in the letter, written in the same language as all the rest, with an attempt of her name made on the envelope ("Allora").
As for the letter... ]
Hi, this is Red. I hope you're doing okay and got plenty of rest after everything that happened. I wanted to say thanks for helping out as much as you did with Elios, and I thought your animals might like the berries I sent too. They're dried berries from my world. Most animals like the sweet berries so I put in extra! People can eat them too if they don't like them.
Let me know if you ever need anything or need a hand.

[ ...and indeed, there's dried berries inside that have been cut into smaller chunks. Since he remembers her mice-like animals being the size of a hand! ]

Altea was a planet from a different solar system than the Earth in my world. Their galaxies are very far from each other even on a universal scale.

It has. When Elios was causing the ice storms, any times I would've produced juniberries turned to ice instead. And the flowers that I'd made permanent didn't survive the cold.
[And then afterwards... will, Elios' attacks had all dredged up painful memories, so the reminiscing that produced juniberries became something Allura wanted to avoid, at least for a little while.]

[Why hadn't she thought of this before!]
ALLURA! [Screaming, Usagi, no need for that.] Oops, that came out louder than I meant. Allura-chan! I have something... well, I mean, I don't really know... okay so this is gonna sound weird...

When one goes out of town for a trip, the wise thing to do is prepare. Especially if planning to go into the wilderness. Especially on the surface. And that is exactly what this Jedi is doing. It's been while since he went on a long trip like this without the use of an airship or a teleporter. In fact the last time was to the mountains before Anakin had disappeared and then came back not remembering anything here. And even then it was on this island. The lands beyond Shaarnath were much more desolate and unknown. So it was best to be prepared.
The Jedi could be found meandering around the marketplace. In tow was a strange creature with a saddle and Obi-Wan's various purchases strapped to its back. A smaller version of the animal also trotting behind with its lead rope tied to its mother's saddle.
It's quite the entourage and while he still sometimes gets odd glances, it seems that many are used to it by now. This Jedi has been leading that creature or riding it for some time now. The man just going about his business, always with a calm and approachable air about him as usual.

Aiada event: In the city. Using prose for ease of driving the NPCs
justpastdawn
2017-10-19 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
Over the past year or so, Kevin has deeply enjoyed being full-time in the training division of the Enforcers, rather than splitting his time between training and patrolling. Naturally this means he's working overtime to patrol anyway more often than he isn't, and just as he thinks things are settling down and he might have some time to go soft, some sort of new set of thefts or Arehtei instability or natural disasters calls his attention.
On the plus side, he is very well paid.
But he's also tired, so although it's a bit of a shock when the Princess Allura turns up looking for ways to help out with the aftermath of Aiada's storms -- usually she's the first in line to be away, when a new expedition is announced -- it isn't any effort at all to put her to work. There is always something needing to be done at times like these. Better yet, Allura is accustomed to working towards the interests of a group, but also possesses a driven independent streak. Once Kevin tells her something she can do, she just does it, with very little further direction from him.
What this means is that Allura gets to experience Kevin Regnard when he is in a true and proper work-mode, rather than...whatever he's usually in. There is no sparkling, no flapping. No heckling from the sidelines, as he did when Allura came in to show his students their way around a staff earlier in the month. He actually sounds like a reasonable person who says reasonable things as he bosses some of the other officers around, coordinating just who is patrolling where with the ease of long experience. This was his job before he left this division, and he's the one who showed many of the more recently recruited officers their way around the beat in the first place.
But Kevin just isn't the sort of person who likes to stay behind and manage; that's what the guy who replaced him is for. Once everyone's territories are settled, Kevin's out on patrol too, Allura in tow. He relaxes noticeably then, despite the fact that they're headed into the depths of the slums. This, he tells the princess, is where he always targets the bulk of his attentions when disaster strikes, and they're bound to see plenty of action keeping an eye out for looters and damaged architecture there.

[ The transmission starts off with a gentle beep, and if Allura accepts, then she'll hear Weiss' voice in her head. ]
Allura, I know this is extremely delayed, but I was hoping to take you out for a snack.
[ A beat. ]
As... an apology for what happened before.
[ Weiss adds that just so Allura doesn't think this is way too random! ]

[ When Allura wakes, she will find that her crystal is glowing! Her emotion drops for the month of Octha have resonated with Empatheias' giant crystal, and a reaction has been formed.
By her feet, she will find a small plush of a horse. Upon touching it, she will start thinking who the horse could be from. The sense of suspicion will only last for about five minutes before she decides what to do with the plush.
(Thank you for submitting to the Emotion Tracker!) ]

[Her smile softens a bit, juniberries sprouting and pooling around her feet.]
It would be indeed. It could help to resurrect extinct flora, or give aid to people suffering from food shortages. I know the last year in particular was hard on this world's plant life, so I'm glad they were able to recover and celebrate properly.

[Who knows how the wyvern found out where the Altean princess was, perhaps he had a bit of help, but Malenzio had arrived in a surprising amount of Christmas gear: A winter sweater to keep warm of course but also bells tied to his tail and antlers that miraculously haven't fallen off or been chewed on yet. In his backpack was a letter for Allura from a certain familiar demon.]
I was worried I wouldn't be able to deliver this in time due to the snow, I hope you don't mind getting this from Malenzio instead.
It ain't much but I thought you might like it!
-Emizel
[Inside the note was a vibrant shell necklace that shined multiple colors depending how the light hit it. It should look familiar as it was one of the shells found in the Shaarnath oasis several months ago.]

[Not Christmas day, but Christmas Eve, Allura will find a pumpkin pie in front of her door. As well as a homemade ornament. The box is special and makes sure the pie stays warm. Attached is a note.]
Something to keep you warm this holiday.
Have a very merry Christmas!
With love,
Snow White

[More presents! In this package by the door, there's a tin of yummy cookies, purple earrings, and a hideous hand-knit purple sweater that says ALLURA in yellow letters. Minnie tried.
Card!]
Merry Christmas, Lady Allura! You're a royal dear ♥
Love,
Princess Minnie Mouse.

[Yang apparently believes in celebrating the holidays even after they've passed. ...Or she's late to deliver her gifts, who knows.
But either way, Allura will find two gift-wrapped packages left for her on her porch. One contains a selection of herbal teas, some to help with relaxation and sleep and others to give energy. The other package contains sweaters for her mice.
The card with it reads: "Don't forget to take it easy! Happy holidays~ <3 Yang"]

[Waiting for Allura come Christmas morning is a bag of cookies and a new coat. Attached is a simple note:]
Happy holidays!
Love Usagi

[For Allura, Hunk has made her a round, squishy mouse friend. Hopefully, the Space Mice won't get too jealous. He's also baked up a special batch of fudge just for her! Attached is a card where he's drawn them enjoying a bowl of what looks like food goo together while wearing Santa hats. Inside reads:]
Happy Holidays Allura!
Thank you for all your support, and kindness. I hope you enjoy the holiday season here! May the new year bring you lots of luck and happiness!
Love,
Hunk

[In a neatly-wrapped box, Allura will find a pot with a few small blue starflowers planted inside. Attached with it, a note indicating the gift is from Leia, and a short explanation about the flowers being a sort commonly found on Alderaan but grown here through dunamis, as well as well-wishes for a good holiday, whether or not she celebrates it.]
[Waiting on Allura's doorstep when she gets home is a yellow rose with a yellow ribbon wrapped around it. There is also a box of heart-shaped chocolates with a card. All it reads is:]
- From Jane

[But then the seen goes from pastoral pinks and blues to reds and blacks. The bridge of the Castle of Lions, every winder filled with fighter ships razing the settlements below, the sky that should be a soft glowing blue thick with fire and smoke. A helmeted figure, skin gray and deep with wrinkles, eyes glowing purple.
"Zarkon."
"Your fleet has been destroyed, Alfor. I will be there shortly to claim Voltron."
Alllura's never been so scared in her life, everything she knows and loves is being destroyed, it CAN'T end like this, she won't let it! She rushes to her father's side, the gently confident young face now aged and looking pained, almost... resigned?
"Father, we must form Voltron and fight before it's too late!"
"It's already too late. We must send the lions away. We can't risk them falling into Zarkon's hands."
What? No, they can't let Altea fall, sure the Black Lion is pilotless now but they can still try--
"We can't give up hope!"
But then he touches her neck, a spark of magic to a nerve and she starts falling limp in his grasp. "I'm sorry, daughter... If all goes well, I will see you again soon."
"Father..." Even to the last, she's still fighting to stay awake.
"I love you."]

[That sounds so lonely. Even lonelier than losing Altea was, still is. Still, Allura's never been a fan of people saying their tragedies are nothing compared to hers, and she's sure the moon princess feels the same. So instead she'll just step forward to hug the girl.]
I'm sorry...

That's wonderful, Leia. Neither can I.
[Well, aside from their planets being there, and their loved ones surviving in one piece, but in times like this it's hard to have one's cake and eat it too.]

[Sure this holiday is apparently supposed to be about love and romance or whatever but Yang loves her friends more than anything so she's going to be gifting her friends some things too today.
If she can't give it to her in person, Yang'll leave her gift with one of her housemates. It's a gift-box full of chocolate chip cookies and a cute little baggie for the mice that's full of carrots cut up into coins.
Naturally there's a card that goes with it. Happy Valentine's Day.]

Mm, another thing that can hopefully change once we've won this war.
[Even if they're their enemies and have done horrible things, and mercy is a luxury they can rarely afford, there should at least be some respect afforded for the dead.]
