EXPLOSION PARTY OTA

Who: Dioscuri Castor and Pollux, Izzy Hands, and you!
What: There has been an explosion! There's poison gas! Smoke! Think of the children!
Where: The hallway outside cabins 142&143
When: 10/15
Warnings: I mean, yeah probably




There's an explosion in the hallway. Thought you ought to know.

Immediately following THIS


"It might be a bomb, or it might be a series of them, but either option would lead to the same deafening explosive sound and violent release of energy that causes the floors and walls alike to shake and vibrate from the sheer impact of it all. it leaves behind only the crackling sounds of flames along with the the audible thump of something hitting the floor. it's difficult to tell what size it is or exactly where it had fallen from, but it's noisy enough to dismiss as a result of the explosion itself."

Smoke pours out of cabin 142 as The Dioscuri go to investigate. Izzy Hands, on mission, goes tearing down the hallway. If you're a neighbor, he pounds on your door shouting fire. You probably heard the explosion too, right? Kind of hard to miss.

"Water! Get a fucking bucket!"

He doesn't stop to talk and moves on to the next room. If there's one thing a sailor takes seriously, it's a fire. Better come and see what all the fuss is about. Mind the toxic gas.

[Natsuno is one deck below when an explosion shakes the ceiling. Considering what happened earlier this month, it's no surprise he runs to investigate, taking the stairs two at a time.

He enters the hallway just as Ebalon floods everything - guess it's not the Moon Freak's fault this time. Natsuno makes his way to 142, coughing and pulling faces at the smoke. It reeks, but at least the poison gas can't harm him.]


...what the hell happened this time?

['sup everyone, it's the kid who blew himself up with Jinx's monkey bomb, and also the Dioscuri's brand new Master.]

( It's the coughing that alerts Castor to a new presence before the words, and when he looks up, it's from where he's kneeling in the ankle-deep water by the bed and peering under it, hoping to locate the decapitated head of a green haired man. He is also maybe a little cranky from being soaked from top to bottom.

Instead, Castor turns to Natsuno when the other speaks up, looking thoroughly unimpressed but not too jarred by the situation. Pretty sure this kid was supposed to be running the opposite direction, but he's going to trust that he understands his own limits and the danger that walking towards an explosion can expose you to, so instead what he says is: )


It was a "trick".

( Y'know, like, Halloween? Door was mislabeled. This was NOT a treat. )

( she has some concerns with him being here, but he's not human, and should also be able to withstand the toxicity of the air. she slips her phone back into her clothes, and takes a few steps from the door so that she isn't in his way, and that he can see the damage, but she won't let him come inside fully. )

Yes... But this isn't a funny one at all.

( her eyes glance to hiyori, eyeing the missing body parts before turning back to natsuno. )

Master, do you know any doctors? Sou is normally who I refer, but we'll have to take his body somewhere after we're finished here.

( so once shi qingxuan manages to appear, then they could probably work with him. all three of them are on the newer side, and perhaps natsuno would be able to point out someone in good faith. )

[Other than occasional coughs that are caused by stench or than anything, he seems perfectly fine. Even his eyes don't tear up from the smoke.]

There's Tendi in the infirmary, but...

[He looks into the room. It's not as gory as the supply closet or the promenade, but the body - ]

I think the only doctor who can do anything at this point is Doctor Frankenstein. Shouldn't you take him to the morgue?

[personal profile] mikraitios 2022-10-16 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
( Hey... Hey!!! )

Who do you think you are to dismiss Pollux like that?

( "Their Master." That's not the point. Castor is going back to full bristle—Natsuno should know by now that Pollux's answer is always right! )

Even if a doctor doesn't repair him, ( Intentional in the wording on both counts, ) it would still be better to learn what happened.

[personal profile] nyktifanis 2022-10-16 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
( it's hard to laugh at this joke, which she thinks is a joke when they personally know frankenstein, well, his creation, but she took up the name too. she's a kind and sweet girl, but that's nothing to speak about. )

The morgue isn't useful if you have capable doctors, Master. Take Asclepius for example, he was able to bring someone back to life, but the Gods didn't approve of such a technique.

( hence why he died, but she won't make a comment on that since he's her friend, and she wouldn't want to bring up certain aspects of his life unless needed. )

...But I guess there's no God of Medicine on this ship, not even a sage with medical knowledge.

( there's a small frown, but castor was right about learning what happened. someone would be able to break down whatever happened in this room.

a pause at repair, a small hum. )


A mechanic, then? Hm... but we need to fetch all his pieces, could we have your assistance?
neverleave: (i reject your creepy mementos)

[personal profile] neverleave 2022-10-17 10:50 am (UTC)(link)
[To Castor, easily:] Sorry, of course. Far be it from me to question Pollux's judgment.

["Repair," though, that's an interesting word to choose. And when you consider the lack of blood... Natsuno addresses both twins next.]

I didn't realize he'll be fine if you piece him together. [Cool.] Tendi's got all kinds of futuristic equipment, so maybe she can repair - non-organics, too.

[Since Pollux is asking for assistance, don't mind if he wades into the room to help looking.]

[personal profile] mikraitios 2022-10-18 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Hmph.

( Whatever! Fine, he guesses! At least Natsuno doesn't seem to be panicking at the sight of the headless man, which is positive points; plenty of humans stir up far too much of a fuss over that type of thing, when really, the greatest loss even in that case would be the loss of Pollux's pleasant mood from earlier. Even Castor had felt his stomach drop when he'd seen the sight, but it hadn't led to anything uncharacteristic of him even so. As things stand for now: )

There's no need to panic until it's been tried.

( So like, they don't actually know if he's fine yet, but they know he might be, so might as well give that a shot. )
nyktifanis: (Default)

[personal profile] nyktifanis 2022-10-18 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
You're fine, Master, really... it's no big deal how you speak to me. Castor is just sensitive.

( you know, a big brother that wants to watch his little sister prosper, but there's no need to linger on that as she watches him enter the room. at least they're all fine, and he seems to be taking this very well; well... it's natsuno, he doesn't really cause a fuss. )

Aside from that... it really is strange how this came along, have you noticed anything strange recently with anyone else here?

( she doesn't want to think hiyori did this to himself, but his hands were in places they shouldn't have been, and his body exploded? has someone been on a killing spree? ... )
neverleave: (as neutral as he gets)

[personal profile] neverleave 2022-10-18 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, someone wrote threatening messages in blood on some doors, and one guy got murdered.

[Natsuno weaves a path between the mess, tossing waterlogged debris aside to see if there's something under it. There's something almost easy-going about his detached tone.]

You think your friend is waterproof? Hopefully his parts aren't too damaged.
mikraitios: (Default)

[personal profile] mikraitios 2022-10-23 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
( First he's heard of this, but doesn't something like that warrant a little bit more of a reaction than the absent sounding summary Natsuno gives? Castor's gaze follows the other as he picks through the debris, but his only comment focuses on answering the question. )

To pass among humans, the craftsmanship shouldn't be so cheap that some water would damage it.
nyktifanis: (Default)

[personal profile] nyktifanis 2022-10-23 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
So he's not a friend of yours, Master?

( with how small this ship can be, she would have thought someone who was here longer would have already made a connection with the other. hiyori tends to play his hand at handling the most difficult people with ease, and she wouldn't doubt the other to make conversation with natsuno at least. natsuno deals with people who are insightful, who seem think than irrationally acting on their emotions.

or they could have just never crossed paths, fate is like that. )


...So there's already been a death. ( her hand clenches tightly, nails digging into the palm of her hand until she slowly opens her hand. ) Has anyone checked to see whose blood it could belong to in order to find the culprit?
neverleave: (what's with this kid and popped collars)

unhinged meta time

[personal profile] neverleave 2022-10-23 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[He shrugs.] I've seen him around, but never talked to him.

[It's not even a lie! Natsuno indeed never spoke to Hiyori.]

Anyway - [He steps on an overturned chair, snapping it under his foot] Palamedes checked it with his weird crime scene necromancy, [Whoops there's flies the coffee table] but all he got was that blood is "kind of human."

[He kicks a piece of broken closet away. He's pretty callous with clearing obstacles, though he does make sure to throw it away from the Dioscuri. He's pretty sure his cover is done for he throws furniture at their heads, as tempting as that is. Wonder what's it like to fight a god, they probably throw amazing punches and - ]

Hey, I think I found his head.

( Natsuno... You're going to cause more destruction in this room than that explosive did at this rate. Castor spares a glance in his direction, scowling despite what should probably be considered as good news. He does come closer to take a look, but not without scowling in Natsuno's direction first. )

Hmph. Try to leave something of the room intact while you fetch it.

( What kind of neanderthal were you raised by, snapping chairs like that? )
nyktifanis: (Default)

[personal profile] nyktifanis 2022-10-28 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Kind of human? There's only so many people here...

( she brings a hand to her chin in thought to think about who she knows that could fit that description, unfortunately the easiest one she can look at is natsuno. no one is forcing him into something he doesn't want to do, are they? just like last time, so she begins to walk towards him so she can check on her master because if someone harmed him, they WILL face her wrath

until

he finds his head! which causes her to stop once she's right next to him. )


Hm, Brother is right... are you stressed about something, Master? Would you like to hold hands? After you retrieve what you've found, of course.
neverleave: (ugh fine)

[personal profile] neverleave 2022-10-29 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Natsuno's memories tell him that Castor is always surly, but Pollux is starting to think something is wrong. He decides to tone it down a bit, even though he doesn't get why would anyone care about tearing down what's already ruined.]

I just wanted to find it quickly...

[He picks the head up as respectfully as he can, resisting the temptation to hold it at eye level and make faces at it. Artificial body, huh...]

Guess I'm just stressed. Explosions, murders, mysterious messages... it's like we're in a third-rate horror movie.

[Don't laugh don't laugh don't laugh keep Natsuno's poker face]

If you think holding hands will help? Sure.

1/1

[personal profile] nyktifanis 2022-10-29 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
( the thing is, she doesn't expect her master to actually want to hold her hand, really; he brushes off too much casually to ever want to. it's the pokerface mixed with the confirmation that he wants to that makes pollux bristle, and her cheeks flushed confused by the words.

rather than offer her hand to hold, she's bringing her hand up to slap the shit out of natsuno in the face— and keep in mind, this is a slap with enough force that would send a human straight into the wall next to her. really, with things like this she doesn't hold back, but...! )


Excuse me?
neverleave: (grow the fuck up)

[personal profile] neverleave 2022-10-30 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Aaaaand there he goes, slipping on wet debris to crack his head against the wall Pollux slapped him into. Mikazuki slides down to a crouch, Hiyori's head still in his lap, and for a moment all he can see is stars. He pretty sure she cracked his jaw bone, that's how much it hurts.

It's amazing.]


Ow... [He keeps his head down, seemingly shocked and hurt but actually trying to smother a HUGE FUCKING GRIN. How the did this kid got this absolutely incredible powerhouse of a goddess (and her brother, who is also kinda cute even though he's an asshole) to offer him a magic contract? Magical beings work in mysterious ways, he supposes.]

I'm getting some mixed messages here.
mikraitios: (pic#16042565)

[personal profile] mikraitios 2022-10-31 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
( And while Natsuno is concerned with looking hurt, or at least with covering his own enjoyment of that slap, Castor? He's making absolutely no attempts to hide it. In fact, he's just going to outright point at the other, grinning wide and openly laughing at the display that's just unfolded before him.

He doesn't even have to get angry at that initial response when Pollux has it handled like this! )


Hahaha! Great job, Sister. Did you hear that crack when his head hit the wall? Serves him right.

( He's emotionally like five, don't worry about it. )

( he scared her! she's getting mixed messages, practically pulling her hands back to her side, and looking towards her master with an apologetic look.  castor's laughter drowns out into the room, practically flooding as it makes her feel as though she needs to remedy her mistake. she slowly walks over to natsuno, looking him over, and rather than grabbing his hand— she's picking him up bridal style...

where should she sit him!

making her way over to castor, )


Open your arms! If you can use those hands to point, then they should be able to carry! Here.

( she's pushing him up into castor's grasp without him agreeing. )

I'll get the head.

It was a great hit, [He agrees, unable to stop himself. When Pollux approaches, though, Mikazuki manages to hold an approximation of Natsuno's calm expression.

Then she literally swoops him off his feet and staying calm becomes a thousand times harder, this is the best day of his (current) life oh my god.

He doesn't object even when she shoves him into Castor's arms. Will that douchey wet blanket actually carry him, Mikazuki just HAS to find out - ]
mikraitios: (pic#16042676)

[personal profile] mikraitios 2022-10-31 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
( See? See? Why is Castor in trouble—Natsuno agrees! This sucks. )

Hmph.

( But while he's not going to like, reach out and gleefully accept Natsuno or anything, Pollux should know well enough that when she shoves him into Castor's arms, he's not very well going to let the guy crash onto the ground either. So. Here they are, Castor bridal carrying Natsuno—but let him do a poor job of trying to salvage his dignity here. )

Why should I have to carry him? His legs are fine.

( He's not even a human, so Castor can't even use being grossed out as an excuse here! Cut him some slack! )

In case his nerves and muscles have ceased to respond, you remember the previous king had died from a punch.

( natsuno is a vampire, so who is to know if his body will respond properly immediately. he had also crouched down which is slightly worrying, what if he's unable to walk? who knows if his legs are actually working? )

It's not a great hit! I could have shattered all your bones! Think better of your well-being!

( it's like dealing with children, but she's going to crouch down in search for the head that the other had spotted. it's when she notices it, she reaches for his nose to pinch, pulling him from under before picking it up like one would do a deceased rat by the tail.

yep, that's a headless hiyori they've found. )

[It's very tempting to drape on Castor dramatically, maybe even comment on his firm chest and strong arms, but that would blow his cover worse than Natsuno blew himself earlier that months. Instead, Mikazuki shifts a little in Castor's arms as if to prove he can move just fine.]

Oh, don't worry about me, vampires are pretty resilient. [To Castor:] You can put me down, if Pollux is okay with it.

[He clocked this hilarious siscon from a mile away, he'll bitch to next year and back but won't do anything Pollux doesn't approve of.]
