@purposeclaimed responded to your call!

"Lance!" The excitement in Keith's tone was almost evident. "Lance, can you hear me?! I'm on my way to the Castle! I have good news!"

@catsrphub hacked comms!

"Pidge!" Keith rolled his eyes, frown deepening, though there was a look of fondness in his gaze. "Give me back control of my consoles, short stack. I can't fly in these conditions!"

Rubble and ash decorated the landscape that spread forward seemingly endlessly, painted in shades of reds, browns, and grays. The horizon was a haze of heat, the waves blooming from the land like the rolling fields of wildflowers that were once a piece of this terrain. It was near impossible to keep a steady gaze, eyes ever scanning the perimeter for any signs of life, or any signs of hope. Mechanical whirring loomed overhead, muffled, crackling chatter emitted from a lone two way radio that lay discarded somewhere amidst the debris and detritus.

Dark eyes darted from pile to pile, searching for some sign of movement. “Shit,” the expletive was harsh, muttering under a sharp breath. There was nothing here but scrap and debris.

Keith ducked low, skirting his way around his make-shift barricade and into the open street. Glancing around he darted behind another large pile of debris and breathed a sigh of slight relief. It didn't look like there was anything following him, for now.

He moved quickly and quietly through the street, knife clutched tight in his hand as he did so, ready at any moment for whatever this new world threw at him. He tapped at the side of his helmet, frowning as his comms crackled to life for a brief moment. No chance of getting any sort of communications out yet...he was too isolated.

Keith squeaked, an involuntary reaction, really. "I'm alright," the sentiment was followed by a short, breathy laugh. "How've you been? I know I'm not really...a people person...but it feels like it's been forever."

@goofbcll joined the fight.

"Hunk!" Keith's eyes lit up, if only for a moment at the sight of someone familiar. He let out a heavy sigh, placing his hands on the other's shoulders. "It's good to see you, man."
