NPC CONTACT

CONTACT
  ✉ 📷


Here is a post to reach any of the NPCs active within ALASTAIR. Please specify which NPC you are looking to reach in the header of your first comment.

As a note, NPCs will not always be available to reach. They are often busy on their own missions or with other mechanics within ALASTAIR, so please check to be sure the post is currently open before beginning a thread. ICly, a message sent to an unavailable NPC will bounce back to the character that had sent it as an unanswered echo of their original message.

The NPCs should be contacted for plot-relevant purposes and direction only. Think of them more as plot devices than characters.

Recruit Redlion, what is the problem with your current username? Do you no longer care for lions?
secondnature: (i can't quit)

1/2

What? No! Lions are fine.
secondnature: (wah wah)

[personal profile] secondnature 2017-08-13 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I got chosen by a different lion. I don't know why it happened the way it did. But it did. I don't pilot a red lion anymore.

[ Well, that's a relief. ]

I have no idea what you're talking about, but regardless of that, usernames cannot be changed. They are linked to your magitek, which is linked to you.
secondnature: (i feel so bad)

[personal profile] secondnature 2017-08-17 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
That's right. Even though you guys are from a cat planet, there's no way you can know about Voltron.

Back home, my team and I—we pilot five robot lions. Each are a different color. I lead the team now. We come together and form Voltron, the most powerful weapon in our universe.


[Note: he's talking about this because the cats were entertained and curious about Voltron when he visited that world.]

They might be big robot lions, but they're cats, too.

Anyway, I used to pilot Red. But now I pilot Black. In that way, it is linked to me. Who I am, like it or not. But I get it, none of that really matters here.

Whether it matters or not is irrelevant; it's a limitation in the code. Your unique timeline signature has been entered into our magitek subsystems, which allows us to track you by your jewelcomm throughout the multiverse. It would be a waste of time explaining the math to you, but rest assured it is not possible without completely overhauling our magitek code.

If you were once Redlion, you still must be Redlion in some way. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
[ Sorry, Keith; the cats are the magitek experts, so you have to deal with Crowley's admittedly terrible pep talk. ]

As an aside, if you ever come across the schematics for your "big robot lions," I would like to take a look at them.
secondnature: (i really don't want this)

[personal profile] secondnature 2017-08-21 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
I get it. I should've just gone with Keith. That's not changing anytime soon.

[It had been his first instinct, but he hadn't followed it. Now, a year later, he feels pretty foolish.]

The lions are made out of a special multiversal comet that can somehow evolve on its own. Schematics don't really exist.

[Not that he wouldn't be opposed to helping ALASTAIR out with them.

Though ...]


I wouldn't be opposed to having my lion here with me, though.

[It's worth a shot!]

Your lion is sapient? It has intelligence?
secondnature: (you're confiding in me?)

[personal profile] secondnature 2017-08-23 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
She does. All of them do. Whenever I was in trouble, Red would be there to save me.

[He's confident that Black would do the same, once they bonded. They haven't yet.]

[personal profile] crowleyology 2017-08-23 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I see.

In that case, we cannot rift her for you. We do not bring sapient creatures in against their will, except obviously in the case of freak rifting such as yourself.
secondnature: (why do i know lance's habits)

[personal profile] secondnature 2017-08-23 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
It's probably for the best. Zymandis getting their hands on the lions would be just as bad as the Galra Empire back home.

And there's just as much of a risk.


[Given ... everything lately.]

It was worth a shot.
