A fixer upper opportunity:Welcome to your new home! It’s a bit rough around the edges but it could be so much worse. Or that’s what you thought until you walked to your housing level and found the bathroom floating under three inches of water as a pipe gushes water. That’s definitely not what those pipes should be doing, you should probably try and get that fixed before your entire level is flooded. Who knows what sort of chaos all that water will play with Avagi’s support systems. Do you call for help or is someone going to find you trying to play amateur plumber with a roll of tape?
Are you afraid of the dark?:There are different types of darkness that one has to deal with when they're living in space. There's the dim lighting of rarely used corridors, the shadows that lurk wherever they can find a place to hide. And you must never forget the swirling blackness of the storm that surrounds Avagi. Today you're dealing with a darkness you've been warned to expect. Some of your fellow residents are overhauling the electrical systems on board and told everyone that there was a chance there could be randomized blackouts.
The lights blink out without a sound, plunging you into darkness. Your eyes take a while to adjust and when they do everything seems a bit more… sinister. Sound travels differently in the dark, the quietest scratches and bumps echo louder in your ears and--
What was that ? Did that sound come from nearby? Did something just touch your leg? Maybe you should find someone before you get more paranoid. If it is paranoia, anyways.
Jeepers Creepers...:The blackouts continue, spreading beyond isolated sections until they’re taking over entire blocks of the station and plunging everything into a more pervasive darkness. Wherever it spreads, a faint odor accompanies it along with a sudden burst of paranoia as everything seems more intense and slightly blurry at the same time. When the lights snap on the feeling of disorientation worsens and you struggle to focus when an intercom crackles to life blaring a warning you can barely understand. All you know is that something is wrong. And even worse, you know without a doubt that something, someone is coming to hurt you. As you see figures approaching, faces a blur of inhumanity marred by a mask to hide their identites you do the only thing you can in your panic.
You run.
Hopefully someone will be able to catch you and get you to clear air before you find a weapon and decide to stand your ground against them. |

b. I was going to do a serious tag but then I remembered Siegfried's luck is rank E
Someone along the way has bossed him into delivering towels in between rooms, and he's done relatively well... if by "well," you mean he's spent part of his time trying not to slip or have his feet give out from under him. It's worked......... somewhat. He's managed to avoid knocking into unknown things beneath the water, but he's not been so lucky in running into others possibly staying dry. Case in point: Karna.
He's making his way along the hallway when the sound of a burst pipe draws him closer to the other, and he pushes his way through the mess of water at his feet to try and figure out where it's coming from. Siegfried doesn't think to check where exactly he's going, what's important is that if there's another leak, he finds it and reports it back to the group he's in.
What he expects to find is a burst pipe and lots of water. What he doesn't expect to find is Karna- and not only Karna, but a soaking wet Karna, which makes him startle just enough to have his foot roll up against a small tube under the water, and disturb his balance. As a result, he loses his footing and goes tumbling backwards into the water. To make matters worse, most of the dry towels in his hands all go sploosh as a group and are now soaking wet. Only one seems to have survived the ordeal, and that's because it's fluffed itself open to land on Siegfried's head. He's a little dazed, but this is still a mess, regardless of his intentions.
At least the towel on his head is completely dry? Small mercies, it seems.]
i'm immediately furious at how cute sieg is wtf
It doesn't take Karna more than a few microseconds to sift through his extensive history, to pause and pull up the memories he needs to contextualize this situation. His most immediate recollections have to do with Moon Cell, a digital playpen far removed from the War that he met the Saber of Black in, but this isn't a face (or, well, a presence, given that Siegfried's making out with a towel right now) that Karna would readily forget.
Combing his thin fingers through his hair, Karna glances down at Siegfried with the same quiet appraisal that he'd worn on the battlefield. In a way, he feels vindicated; the only wish he'd had for that downwards-spiral of a War was to face this honorable Servant again, after all.
Still. That can wait. ]
—'The traveling knight of the Netherlands'.
[ He doesn't smile, he doesn't laugh— instead, Karna bends one knee to crouch by Siegfried, picking the obstruction from the other Servant's face to get a better look. ] I see. This is what they must refer to as destiny.
[ jesus christ karna just help him ]
welcome to my life, he tries so hard
.........it's been a rough three months, to say the least.
He's still somewhat pulling out of his daze when Karna speaks, and Siegfried stills just for a moment before the towel is lifted. That voice is a familiar one, and seeing his face just confirms who he thought had just spoken.
That doesn't stop him from blinking for just a moment, though.]
...Lancer of Red.
[And suddenly this whole scenario just became a lot more embarrassing. It was embarrassing enough for meeting a Servant, but what makes it worse is that Karna is a Servant Siegfried holds respect for, and when you look like an idiot in front of a Servant you have a friendly rivalry and respect with? It certainly doesn't give you any bonus points. He shifts, trying to get himself back up, one arm already pushing himself halfway up before something bumps his elbow and he slips back down into the water, causing him to frustratedly exhale upwards, towel still on his head and moving slightly in his irritation. This entire thing is a mess. Why is his luck so terrible?
Still, he's not being laughed at, so he'll take that as a good thing for now. The fact that Karna knows him does settle him, but only slightly. There was also the fact that Karna spoke of who he truly was, without saying his name. The traveling knight of the Netherlands. Siegfried isn't exactly sure how he knows this, but there's a lot of things in this realm that he's had to just take as they are, and also accept that some things just don't have answers. It's not something he enjoys by any stretch, but he also doesn't think Karna is immediately going to strike his back the first opportunity he gets. Perhaps that's putting too much trust into a hero he's only ever fought once, but Siegfried would like to think it holds, in this case.]
