-She turns to the people/holograms-
"Oh, guess it's starting"
-Ren and co look up as the holo-systems spring to life.-
Ren: We can hear you, but you're too close to the camera.

Lucius is too preoccupied talking to F!Blitz to notice Robin.
Lucius: That's one word for it. I've used some less charitable words in the past, but... fact is, she's probably the closest living family I have. We have our differences - actually, let's not beat around the bush, sometimes I want to straight-up deck her - but we're on the same team more often than not, and we're better off working with each other than against each other.
He shuffles his feet.
Lucius: And yeah, you have cute hair, cute features, cute t... point is, you're cute. But that was only part of it. See, despite what I might've said yesterday, it's been too long since I went on my last actual date, and... well, I figured I might as well give it a shot. I'm sure that all sounds pretty pathetic, but whether or not it worked as a date wasn't really the point. I just wanted to pass a nice evening in good company, and... I'm sorry that didn't happen.

Maggie: "I can, but that's probably a given."

Robin: Alright, goo-

Robin: Alright then. Hello, everyone, for those of you who don't know me, it's Robin Loptyr, Team Umbra and the J-Team's resident human living video game character. You may have previously seen me in Fire Emblem: Awakening or Super Smash Bros, but regardless of if it's that or if you already know me or both you're probably wondering about the wardrobe change. Well, it wasn't my choice. I'm not that goff.
-His expression grows grim-
...The truth is even though we on Team Umbra were hiding from the Glitch it found us and hauled several others along for the ensuing ride.

Ren: I assume that is the reason for your current choice of wardrobe, Kylo Robin?
No, Ren has no clue on how right he is.

-Blitz is listening but a bit distracted-
F!Blitz: "Not really... I've had trouble with dates too, I know how that goes. Sorry that didn't work out..."
-She glances away for a moment before trying, but not quite succeeding in looking Lucius in the face-
"And I'm flattered you think I'm cute, really. I'm not used to being called that. But there's kind of a big problem, Lucius."
-She twiddles attempts to distract herself from the awkward by rubbing her arm with a hand-
"Uh, that name you forgot to ask for? It's Blitz"
^_^;
-Tori, on the other hand, is definitely listening and waves when asked if Robin can be heard-
-Though she glares a little at Tex's mon at implying Robin is crazy, but decides to ignore them after a few seconds-

Lucius stares at F!Blitz for several seconds as his entire body gradually turns a deep, vibrant shade of red.
Lucius: ...I'm sorry, did you just say "Blitz"? As in, the Blitz I know? The Blitz I'm good friends with? The Blitz's that's usually a... a...

-Pent is here, lurking in the shadows and listening. He is concerned, extremely concerned. The glitch being capable of causing a Slip, whether intended or not and into such a distinct story? This was pretty much the epitome of his fears of what the glitch could be capable of... It might just be the shadows and the strange lighting of the Ark but the edge of his shadow seems to twitch and flicker-
It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.
Blitz: "The Blitz that's usually a guy that turns into a Greninja, yeah"
-She chuckles awkwardly-
-Beat-
"Lucius?"
....
"You okay in there?"
-She looks around a little to see if anyone else has noticed Lucius' reaction, and notices Siobhan sitting nearby, then pokes Lucius's forehead-

Robin: -pointing to Maggie and Ren- You two are more than on to something.
-To one of his compatriots-
Though... Arika can explain most of it better? We'll all have to take turns, of course.
Arika: Sure thing.
-Robin moves back as she steps up to the microphone-
OK, so, it started when I thought I was fighting that Odin creep again...
One Lengthy Explanation Later
Arika: ...And then we did a musical number to blow off steam before reuniting with you guys. So yeah, things went crazy The Force Awakens. Bad news is as you can tell from that story, whole lot more emotional trauma than you'd expect, but good news is we learned a lot about that damn Glitch getting up close and personal with it.

Deziree: Kylo? I...
Selene: In all honesty I expected that to be Lucius, but I suppose that joke's been played out.
Maggie: "Welp. Glad the musical number helped, at least."

Lucius is still as red as a workers' revolutionary party from embarrassment, though he seems to slip back into awareness upon being poked by F!Blitz.
Lucius: Yeah... yeah, I'm alright. I'm just going to go and bang my head against the hull until one or the other breaks. Okay? Okay.
He wanders off to do just that.

-By the time the explanation has reached Power Save base, Ren is already rubbing the bridge of his nose due to the references.-
-Then Arika finishes...-
Ren: I swear the universe and these glitches share the same twisted sense of humor.
-Well he's partially right, *wink*-

-Tex has a look of extreme confusion. Not just a wimpy eyebrow raise, but one can see on his face that his brain is struggling to put this together, as if logic had been thrown out the window and he's stuck in the house.-

-Blitz blinks at the statement-
F!Blitz: "That sound like a painfully ill-advised plan"
-Unfortunately she doesn't get a chance to say more than that before he wanders off. Leaving Blitz to sigh due to a lack of idea what to do other than give him room-
-She turns to Siobhan-
"Heh... I've, uh. Never had to dump a guy before"

-At least that leaves them time to listen to the story uninterrupted-
