towerofanimus | Event: Quarantine

Characters: any characters trapped in rooms during the event
Setting: dormitory level rooms
Format: any
Summary: An unexpected series of explosions has trapped residents in the dorm rooms with no power and no way to get out. Try to communicate with the outside, deal with being stuck in a small room with other people... Deal with the really strange things that seem to be happening, too.
Warnings: typical Animus horror event warnings

[There are several more explosions, and the sound of things falling and crumbling outside. The dorm rooms themselves don't collapse or cave in, but the furniture and trunks and nightstands may be rattled and knocked about. Eventually, the lights flicker and go out entirely, leaving everyone in the dark. There are small red emergency lights lining the floors, but they don't seem to have come on all the way, and flicker on and off eerily.

After maybe twenty minutes everything falls silent. However, if you try the door, you'll find you can't get out...]

But why not? They get along really well, and let's be honest- they probably work together pretty well.

[She quirks an eyebrow.]

So I think I'll think about it as much as I please, thanks.

[and this is a deeply, deeply irritated stare.]

[So slyly-]

Is there a problem with my thinking about it, Professor?

Just leave him alone.

Why? I like him, he likes me- plus he's all sorts of fun with that lance.

[A slightly perplexed look.]

So yeah, that's not happening.

I'm reasonably certain he isn't interested. Go bother his idiot brother instead.

[Sullenly-]

Hey! I like that aforementioned idiot, thanks.

[And then more than a little peevishly-]

--and I think between that idiot and myself we could probably talk him into it, honestly.

For the last time, don't.

[Challenge accepted Waver, it's too late.]

Why not?

Because I bloody well said not to. I very sincerely doubt he would be remotely interested.

Never killed anyone to try.

[She stands, hands on her hips, and rocks back on her heels.]

I'll be back in a second. Oi, Cu, Diarmuid!

...Mm?

[Cu Chulainn looks toward Asagi.]

What is it?

[So seriously-]

How do you feel about threesomes? Specifically, threesomes with Diarmuid?

[He makes an unintelligible noise and goes bright red.]

W-what the--? W-why? Y-you're just kidding, right?

[A pat to his cheek.]

Dead serious. Well... 90% serious, I guess. Can't say I'm not enjoying making you make that face.

For fuck's sake, Asagi, that's enough.

Is it though, Professor? Is it really?

It's more than enough!

[Considering how strongly Waver's unease is transferring across their bond, Diarmid really should have said something before this. But when he had come close enough to hear the conversation, he had been too mortified by the subject to speak. However, too far is too far.

Not that he thinks this will stop her, but...]

Can't you see how uneasy you are making him? Perhaps this is nothing for you, but isn't not that way for everyone!

[...but maybe transferring her attention to him will help? It had been his slip that started this after all...]

[Lancer almost jumps at Diarmuid's outburst. He quickly moves to place himself between Diarmuid and Asagi.]

Come on, Bro, she was just ribbing us a bit. I'm sure she'll stop once we tell her no.

[He looks back at Asagi.]

...I think you can take that as a definite no.

[If anything, Asagi rolls her eyes.]

Boys. No wonder half my sisters bat for the home team.

[Probably more than half, but not the point. Asagi's temper flares a little, eyes flashing- but she raises a hand and waves it dismissively.]

Whatever. Wouldn't want you and the missus mad at me forever anyway, Diarmuid.

I don't know what you're talking about. Whatever idea you have about us, I suggest you forget it immediately.

He's not my Missus. If anything...

[Even though the words are soft, Diarmuid cuts himself off. He's really got to stop doing that, but it's hard. He's so happy about things, he wants to share even if he knows it's not a good idea. Especially not in circumstances like these.]

[Lancer's mouth drops wide open.]

...Really? Bro? Are you guys...?

[He looks back and forth from Diarmuid to Waver, unable to believe it.]

And Asagi with the win. God, can I call 'em or can I call 'em?

[Smug Asagi is smug.]

P.S. Dia you are such a girl, that was totally cute.

[But then she snickers and adds-]

Maybe I should have made the offer a foursome instead.

[The response? Waver scowled and slapped a hand to his face, muttering frustratedly under his breath.]

Fuck. Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck buggering fucking hell I hate my life.
