[BEEP]

Damn it Pidge wake up! This is really not the time for you to be dozing in bed! I woke up in a pool of water and-

You know what just call me back!

[lonewolflion]

PIDGE

[lonewolflion]

PIDGE LOOK AT YOUR PHONE

[lonewolflion]

PIDGE I'M STUCK IN A CAGE WITH ALLURA AND SOME OTHER LADY OVER THE OCEAN AND IT'S RAINING AND I'M COLD.

[lonewolflion]

I think I see Lance in one of the other cages.

PIDGE PICK UP YOUR PHONE.

1/2

[bliptech]

Calm your quiznack, Keith. I'm stuck in this mess, too.

[bliptech]

Wait, Lance? ... ALLURA?!

[lonewolflion]

Yes, Allura's here with me but I think I see Lance in some other cage.

[bliptech]

Well great!

We finally find more of our team and now we get to die!

Yeah, yeah, I know we'll come back but I sure as hell didn't want to add drowning to my list of dumb ways to go out.

[Voice] [After supplies are delivered.]

[freedom_engineer]

Hey.

Pidge. How're you holding together?

[Voice]

[bliptech]

[The supplies were helpful, but by the time they arrived Pidge was already soaked through two layers of hoodies and the rest of her clothes. She really wasn't insulated for cold like Hunk was, and it was showing even as she continued to force the slide puzzle in to it's right places. Answering comes with the sound of rain, wind, and coughing.] Been better...

[freedom_engineer]

I'm sorry to hear that. Have you all got your rain break up?

[bliptech]

Yeah. 'malready soaked, though. [coughwheeze] My hands are almost completely numb b-but I'm still [thud, phone dropped] Shit! [It takes her a second to get a grip on it again, and it's sopping wet but thankfully still functional.] Don't... tell Shiro I said that. Anyway, I'm still trying to finish this Galra-blasted slide puzzle.

[117_9875]

[Hey, Smol, Space Dad calling. Please let him hear your voice so he knows you're not dead.]

[bliptech]

[How does "half dead" sit with you? For some reason she doesn't answer right away, but eventually the call is picked up, complete with coughing, wind in the background, and a hoarse voice.] Hey...

[117_9875]

[Not well, Smol. Not well at all.

Keith's already filled Shiro in on the basics. Hanging cages over the ocean. Puzzles and shadows and rain, oh my. Also, Allura.]

Pidge! Are you hurt?

[Because you sound like shit, man.]

[bliptech]

[She feels like shit, man.]

I'm not exactly doing great ...

But, no. I'm not injured.

[cough]

(Early Morning 10/14) (Voicemail)

[freedom_engineer]

Hey, Pidge. I have got to find a good nickname for you.

When you get this, drop by my quarters on the first floor. There's something you should see.

[bliptech]

[Pidge is still recovering, and while no longer stuck in the infirmary she's still coughing a lot and being forced to actually rest when exhaustion kicks in.

Colin's message of course goes to voicemail as she's actually sleeping for once, and it's a text that gets shot back to him about two hours later.]

later im gonna sleep more

[As promised, though, "later" eventually comes around...]

v. backdated text

[gempathic]

Hey Pidge! It's Steven.

I was wondering if you'd tell me more about those pod things you mentioned when I healed your face? Because they sounded really cool and spacey!

[ He's glad he decided on texting about this. Like. If he asked in person, his face would probably give him away within two minutes. ]

[bliptech]

[Steven what are you up to.]

"Spacey" is one way to put it, yes. CryoPods did originate on the ten thousand and six hundred year old alien battleship called the Castle of Lions created by a race of chameleon-like people known as Alteans.

[Did you need all that information? Because you're getting it.]

I don't think you can get much more "spacey" than that.

In any case, if you want to see what they looked like, I should have some schematics left on my Paladin suit. They're sort of like a cross between a regeneration chamber and a cryostasis pod. It kept Allura and Coran alive for ten thousand years!

Hence the "ten thousand, six hundred" part about the Castle of Lion's age. I don't even know how those things stayed working that long! Of course Coran would never let me take one apart, not even to study it.

... sorry. I got ahead of myself. Why are you asking?

PIDGE HELP

LANCE WAS FLIRTING WITH ME

AND I FLIRTED BACK



PIDGE I ALMOST KISSED HIM

[bliptech]

Turn your damn caps off, Keith.

And why exactly should I care? Isn't this the sort of thing you've wanted for like... ever now?

[lonewolflion]

No!

Yes?

Maybe!? I don't fucking know, I just...I freaked out...he freaked out. I locked up, I just.....fuck...Pidge I ran!

[bliptech]

... you dense motherfucker.

You ran.

You RAN.

You finally got him to stop being... well... HIM for long enough to actually acknowledge you and you RAN.

No. I'm out. I'm not helping you with this. This is way out of my league.
