Multiversal travel can be disorienting, but there’s no need to worry! All side effects are temporary and lessen with each trip. Your body may experience several sensations at once: being pushed forward as if a hand is resting on your back, momentary and startling blindness, a gentle ringing in your head. You may have difficulty discerning whether it is hot or cold, but where you have been prodded is noticeably warmer than the rest of you. Some may suffer dizziness while others are perfectly fine. You notice that the area you are in is filled with a soft cerulean light and feels slightly humid and dark despite the glow around you. Regardless of your current state, however, the stress of transit forces your body into unconsciousness.
Waking up is another story. Or maybe it isn’t.
You find yourself in a nondescript room; sometimes with others who have found themselves in the same situation, sometimes alone. Welcome to Avagi Station, your new home.
Avagi
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.
Shyvana glares down at the piping that's spewing water onto the floor. Already her boots are soaked, and the water level is only going to rise. This isn't particularly her specialty, but she hasn't the patience to wait for help.
Instead, she reaches down and crushes the pipe, stopping the water flow completely.]
There. Fragile thing.
[The leak has stopped, but the pipes creak threateningly.]
ii. jeepers creepers
[There is the brief instinct to run. Flight or fight is something she's come to feel commonly, but so rarely is it that fear could compel her to feel like she needs to flee from something. It's a strange, foreign.
It does not linger long.
Shyvana is turning around, determined to face what she feels like must be chasing her. Flames dance around her and she snarls, curling her molten claws. She bellows:]
Fight me, coward!
[Whatever comes out, she may feel more compelled to battle than to reason.]
iii. wildcard
[Tag me with your own idea, or let me know if I can set something up for you!]
[Shyvana looks up at the ceiling. Not a place she would ever think to be; it is for thieves and assassins to crawl through, after all. Hardly a place for someone like her.
This woman, though...]
Water pressure. [Not that she's completely unfamiliar with how piping works, but she's far from being skilled to understanding it.
So, as Vetra knows, the pipe bursts once again, a shot of water hitting Shyvana in the face for a moment. The half-dragon pauses, a little alarmed, then snarls. Her body heats up, and the water quickly evaporates from her skin.]
Ridiculous!
[As if it'll solve her problem, she punches the pipe closed again.]
[Which it does. Messily and spectacularly. Vetra really, really shouldn't be watching with as deadpan an expression as she is. But hey. She's in a vent stripping it for parts.]
[She's dry.]
Do you want to see if we can shut it off? Further up? Because the more you hit it, the better the chances the whole system bursts.
[For a brief moment, Shyvana is growling, fire sparking in the air around her. Her claws clenched into fists. She'd really like to hit the pipes some more.
But what this woman says makes sense; if she wants this fixed, it cannot be in this way. Letting out an annoyed sigh, the heat around her dims down and she nods.]
[The omnitool does catch Shyvana's attention, though only briefly. It is either magic or technology or both, and none of it really matters. She does not feel particularly threatened by this woman, so she doesn't see fit to ask.]
You lead. Then we will take care of this.
[She grumbles:] Irritating. Don't they have individuals meant to fix such things?

[So says the voice from above on the wall. Above -- where the grate from a ceiling vent is hanging open. An orange glow flickering inside.]
[After a second, Vetra pokes her head out. Glancing skeptically at the pipe.]
Water pressure's going to burst that thing in no time.

That sounds wise.
Tell me what I must do, then.

[Part of her is really, really impressed.]
All right. Let's find out--
[She hops down, lightly. When you're as tall as she is, it's easy. Brushing her hands off and dismissing her omnitool.]
Let's follow the pipe. See if we can find a valve.

Vetra. You?
[A beat, before she laughs, shaking her head.]
Not anymore they don't. We're maintenance crew now. C'mon.
