Hoist the Colours

[airlockedmods]

[After a few long, tense minutes there's the unmistakable sound of a distress alarm going off cut off seconds later by the power shutting off. They're in total darkness for a few weightless seconds before the backup generator kicks on and red emergency lights along the floor click on followed by a rush of fresh oxygen from the life-support system.

The robots outside the kitchen go eerily silent but there's no sound to intricate that they've left. In fact there's no sound at all for a long minute until it starts.

Step.
Kthunk.
Step.
Kthunk.

The footsteps stop abruptly and, without warning, the door to the slowly kitchen opens with a soft hiss...

And a very large, familiar body oozing green blood is thrown into the room like a rag doll, hitting the floor with a wet, solid thud. One arm is severed cleanly at the shoulder, cauterized and still smoking. His amphibian face stares sightlessly up at the ceiling, jowls slack and a burning, cauterized wound all the way through his throat.

Fourtinbras is dead.

Step.
Kthunk.]

I doubt you believe that.

[People are really dumb or desperate. Or both.]

[withoutred]

..... no, I don't.

[ yeah no y'all are dumb ]

But it would still take a rather exceptionally suicidal type of person to believe they'd be capable of getting away with it here. [ Or, y'know. Someone full of themselves. Either or. ]

[ebonyknight]

I think I see a quite a lot of them in front of me.

[As well you.]

[chides]

[ebonyknight]

[Lifts Shirou's arm, which she's still holding.]

This one.

[ SHIROU FEELS SO ATTACKED RIGHT NOW ]

[ebonyknight]

[YOU WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME THING LEN]

[chides]

What happened?!

[ebonyknight]

He's an idiot who would likely try to do this if it were in the best interests of everyone else.
