EVERY ACT BASED IN TRUTH IS A CONFESSION; EVERY CONFESSION IS AN ACT BASED IN TRUTH.
![]() CONFESSIONS MEME We all know the typical kind of confession. I love you, I'm pregnant, I slept with your sister, whatever. This is the place for that, sure. But what about other confessions? Ones that are life-changing in different ways? Are you secretly a criminal? A monster? A "monster"? Are you confessing to murder? To taking the last cookie? Is it a false confession? Are you confessing because it's the right thing to do? Because you felt guilty? Because you got caught red-handed? Because someone is forcing you to? Are you confessing to a lover? A friend? An enemy? The cops? Batman? Are we ever going to stop asking questions? |
Shiro | Voltron: LD
season 2but he's forgotten most of them. *cough* so he can confess but it might be better if he's the listener. Come tell space dad what's going on. Open to cross-canon/medium as well as canon]ooc

Since he had not been in one of those spheres himself, he tumbled around before the ship came to a still. Well that would leave some nasty bruising, but nothing felt broken at least. Lucky.
The first thing he did was to try and shut off the safety program to get the others out from the spheres, but the ship did not react to him. No luck on that front. At least they should be out of danger, but watching their sleeping faces was unnerving to him. Deciding that it might be something wrong with the outside of the ship, Jio went to look for the exit. That took some time and even more time to get the stupid door open, just to be faced with quite a huge drop.]
How massive is this thing?
no subject
Ideally he would be able to ask them for help but considering the speed it had come down with, he suspected the other ship was even more in need of help than he was. He could offer at least.
Whoever had landed it had either pulled off a burst of last minute angel skill or had the luck of the devil though. Because the entire ship had come to a landing only a few feet from the edge of one of the huge craters that split the dead landscape of this planet. Shiro circled as much of the ship as he could without getting too close, relieved again to find that the markings and make of it weren't familiar. In his world, that was becoming an increasingly good sign. When a hatch broke open on the hull, he stepped back and out of the line of sight though. Unfamiliar didn't mean friendly necessarily and Shiro didn't enjoy getting shot at. Just one man came out though and seemed more interested in the drop off he'd barely avoided. Not that Shiro blamed him. That would have been a long fall into a much worse landing.]
It's not the worst I saw coming in but its one of the nastier ones. Five of your ships across easily.
[He answered the rhetorical question, standing near one of the solar swept piles of rock this planet's surface was littered with.]
no subject
However he was made to stop think about the ship as he were actually spoken to. That he had not expected and his one red and one green eyes fixed on the man bellow him. Human? Had he somehow manage to get back home? But this desolated land looked nothing like anywhere he had been or even heard stories about. Most likely this were an unfamiliar planet far from home.]
That is far too big in my opinion. Shin is not small.
[Jio judged the distance to the ground, not liking to be so far up while talking. This man did not seem hostile, but he could be wrong and if he were being down on the ground would make it far easier to defend himself. Sure he could hide in the ship like this, but hiding when threatened had never really been his thing. In all actuality he had seldom been able to afford it, needing to take down whoever that started a fight with him fast.
Deeming that he would be able to make the jump, he jumped. It wasn't the worst height he had jumped from. Still higher then what any sane person would like to jump from. Well not just anyone would be able to make it either, that he knew. Still he landed just fine on the hard ground and simply dusted of his clothes like he hadn't just done something that should be next to impossible.]
I guess there is too much to hope for an o-part repair shop around the corner. Not that fixing up an ss-ranked o-part is that easy.
no subject
Food supplies might not be a bad idea either though if this was a crash landing they might be here even longer than he was going to be.
He didn't recognize the species when the man turned. He looked human but the coloring was drastically unusual for a human and Shiro had long since stopped assuming anyone was what they looked like. It was like... heterochromia but for his entire body not just his eyes.
And Shiro got an unexpected closer look at the man jumped. Shiro's eyes went wide and he instinctively stepped forward to try to catch the man, stopping himself before he could close the distance and making himself stand at a safe spot out of range instead. Alien bodies were built to absorb differently than humans and it was something Shiro had to remind himself of now as he watched the stranger straighten up from the landing and dust himself off as if it were nothing. Well - that was something to remember. At least the language translators were still working. He shook his head:]
I haven't seen any sign of civilization, not even a dead one, so far. I've only been here a few days myself though. There might be something out of range but my scanners were fried on my way in and I didn't get a good look.
no subject
[Jio shot a glare over to the the ship. It had caused him so much trouble. The program running on it had threatened to kill off all life on his planet. If Shin never had been excavated then so many of the hardships he had been made to go through would not have occurred. Sure his life would still not have been all smile and sunshine, but the whole planet would not have been in danger.
Looking back to the stranger, Jio rubbed the back of his neck. Right now he really would have like to have the others with him as they had way more social skill compared to him. All except for Zero, but what was expected from an old wolf? Deciding that the best thing he could do was to actually introduce himself, he reached out his hand, fully aware of the jade burned into the palm of his hand.]
I'm Jio Freed.
no subject
None of which gave him a full picture but he was willing to keep working with that.
The handshake offer seemed familiar though and Shiro met it with his own hand. His hand that, hidden under the layers of his armor and uniform was the metal of Galra tech. Because while the being seemed friendly, a palm full of glowing color could mean anything and, under its glove, Shiro's metal hand was much more equipped to deal with anything dangerous.]
Shirogane Takashi. Call me Shiro.
no subject
[Jio gave a nod and a firm handshake, glad that the way of greeting seemed to be the same for the both of them. If the handshake would have been rejected then he wasn't sure of what he would have done. Now he felt more at ease, but it wasn't cause to let down his guard. Just because the other seemed friendly right now did not necessary mean that he were. Still Jio felt willing to give Shiro the benefit of the doubt. No need to judge him before he had done anything.]
While I did not expect to find anyone here, I'm still glad that I did.
[While he had not arrived here alone, the others could not be considered great company since they were asleep and just knowing that someone else were out there helped a lot. Jio did not like to admit it out loud, but he hated to be alone. Being alone led him to dark places that he desperately needed to stay away from.]
no subject
I feel the same. Glad you showed up. I was getting lonely talking to myself. How are your supplies? I haven't got much but I'll share what I do have if you need it.
no subject
[Jio looked down for a second, thinking about all the lives that had been lost on the ship. He knew that nothing could have prevented those deaths as soon as the Armageddon program had started, but it did not make him feel any better. If only he had not lost that legendary o-part to begin with then the program would have been unable to start completely.]
If you want to you can come with me and search through the ship.
no subject
it's possible its a trap. But Shiro has a few tricks up his sleeve if it is and so far he hasn't gotten any indication that the stranger is aware of who he is or what he is or has any reason to want to trap him. He learned his lesson with Rollo but he also knows that's a small part of a very large galaxy. And he is curious about the ship and more than willing to help if there's any way he can. So he nod and smiles again.]
Sure. Be happy to help. [He lets the other man lead and asks:] Sounds like the ship is new to you. How'd you end up with it?
no subject
Through a series of events that mainly had to do with us trying to keep the keys to a dangerous weapon away from the last owner of Shin.
[Jio looked around to find a good way back up into the ship. Sure he could probably make it if he jumped, but he had no idea if that would be true for the other. But he did find a few big rocks that were placed perfectly to form a kind of stair and make the distance of the jump more manageable.]
That kind of failed so there was nothing to do but to enter Shin to stop it from consuming the planet.
no subject
And it apparently destroys planets?
That's not a comforting thought.
Neither is the thought that if they had to keep the keys to it away from a previous owner that means the previous owner might still be looking for it.
At least the current owner seems intent on keeping that from happening? Shiro makes the climb up the rocks to join Jio.]
Was destroying the ship out of the question? If it consumes planets I mean.
no subject
[Jio effortlessly took the jump from the rocks and into the open door, stepping back to give Shiro room to make the jump as well. It should be doable even for someone lucky enough to not have had his crazy teacher. Or teachers as none of them could be considered normal.]
Shin have been excavated twice what I know of and survived me crashing it into this rock of a planet.
no subject
What about driving it into a sun?
no subject
[There were two paths to take and Jio took the right one. The left he knew led to the bridge and there had been no food over there, that he had concluded from the brief look he took earlier.
So the right corridor it was and as Jio walked he tried to ignore the uniforms that were strew around randomly.]
no subject
or it's a hint as something darker and he hasn't forgotten Jio's reason the ship needs to be destroyed in the first place. He keeps his hands to himself as they walk.]
If you had a second ship, you could get close enough for gravity to pull this one in and leave on the other. [Supposition at this point considering they're both grounded and not getting airborne much less near a sun in the immediate future. He steps over another uniform and asks:]
How does the ship - run its program?
no subject
If. There is no other o-part on my planet that can take space travels. Unless it would be hidden away in one of the ruins. [That is an option. Not that he dared to bring Shin back without being completely sure of that the Armageddon program would not start up again.]
I can only tell you what I do know myself about the Armageddon program.
First of it needs both the Formal and Reverse Kabbalah to even start. Those can be gathered together with the keys that got stolen from me. The first step of the program is then to collect any Recipes that the Kabbalah haven't already absorbed and there is no escaping it no matter what those people or cores might be. With all twenty together the main objective of the Armageddon program starts. To collect all life on the planet and take away their form, making everyone into one unity. No individual ideas, dreams or anything, just a spiritual mass of information.
I corrupted the program by removing one of the Recipes. In doing so Armageddon can't complete itself. It will still claim nearly all life of the planet, only leaving behind 666 lifeforms. And that is why I teleported the ship here. Not enough life for it to absorb.
no subject
What a horrible ship. And who had thought building it, however long ago it had been built, had been a good idea? It sounded like Jio's quick thinking had saved a world.
The main question though is:]
So what are you going to do now?
no subject
The plan is to disconnect the joined Kabbalah completely, wake up my friends and find a way back home.
[It sounded so simple, but it wasn't simple at all. Jio let out a sigh. It would have been much better if Cross had been able to control Shin as he knew some of the things the ship could do.
The corridor took a turn and a door could be seen a few feet ahead. Knowing how the door panel worked this time around, Jio put his hand on it and put in the combination he had figured out after a while.
The door opened up to a big room that showed signs of having been repaired at some point. The only thing in it were a huge, empty pod and a sign over it with the word FREEDOM written on it.]
...This is? No it can't be...
no subject
well, Shiro recognizes what's in the room in the vaguest of senses but it's pretty apparently his companion recognizes a great deal more. Brows coming down, Shiro asks:]
What's going on?
no subject
[Even as he said that, Jio moved further into the room, placing his hand on the glass of the pod. The pod buzzed to life upon his touch and a voice filled the room.]
Scanning Freedom program... Scanning complete, corruption detected. Preparing containment and reconstruction of program.
WHAT?
[The pod opened itself and some tentacle like arms came out grabbing him. Jio struggled to get them off, but they refused to let go. The best he could do was to keep himself from being pulled into the pod.]
Shin update information about the Freedom program! The Freedom program is the Recipe of 1i!
Processing information... Update complete.
[The arms let go of him and Jio were quick to grab Shiro's wrist and get out of the room, closing the door and marking it with an X. No way was he risking going in there again.]
