Who: Four Knights of a
Fallen LandWhat: gen foursome
When: the date of the second refugee drop
Where: house #64
Warning(s): nothing really...
[ general mingle for house 64, this log is really just to avoid flooding the event post with every possible permutation of these four interacting. ]
starts off this gen gangbang
After what seems like forever, they've finally found the front door to their new dwelling. It leaves a lot to be desired on the outside, but maybe it's better on the insid--
Nope, this isn't great on the inside either. It's not really that he thinks himself above staying in dowdy places, not with all of his travels and not after the kindness commoners have shown him in the past. It's just.
Really small. ]
Are truly we expected to live this closely together? [ It's cramped!! He hasn't even seen what the bed situation is like yet. I leave that to gangbanger #2. ]
no subject
[ for the record, if he can read thoughts, he would be in agreement with percival. unlike him, though, he's far more optimistic about their living situation than one might expect. sure, it's small, but it's a place to stay.
he's the first to explore the modest house, though, checking out all the rooms it has to offer. it doesn't take him long. ]
Hmm, it's two bedrooms, single bath... it's pretty tight living, but we can just pair off and take a room.
[ he doesn't sound like he has any particular opinion about it. ]
no subject
Ah, you've all arrived. [ well he sees percival and lancelot... and probably vane somewhere. i don't know, he's probably jumping on one of the beds or something. dammit vane. ]
Don't complain, Percival. This is more spacious than living in the barracks.
[ he wasn't even here when percival was whining, but He Knows. if he can god mode everyone else in gbf, he can do it in this thread too. ]
no subject
[ There he is, wanting to know his whereabouts even though given that he comes in carrying a cup of coffee it's pretty fucking obvious where he's been. Anyway. ]
That's true, but we didn't have much of a choice, then. Surely, there have to be other available options.
[ He's heard through the grapevine that some houses only got assigned two people, even. Anyway, he's griping just to gripe, but now he's seriously considering Lancelot's question. ]
You two seem perfectly fine with sharing one of the rooms. That sounds adequate to me. I will take the other room, and since that idiot of ours isn't even here, he should sleep here, in the common area.
[ At least he's not suggesting what he really wants to suggest: outside, like a dog
no subject
Siegfried! [ you thought i was going to siegfried-san you, huh... too bad, i'm not anime enough, but you can imagine him saying that in your head...
anyway, he quietly listens to the exchange between the two men, only going stiff when it's suggested that he and his mentor would share a room. ]
I don't mind! But shouldn't Siegfried have his own room...? He was our mentor, so it would make most sense. [ and vane would happily stay on the couch, but... they can deal with it when he gets back! ] You can room with me, Percival.
[ because... umm... he's too self-conscious to say it outright, but there are benefits of being the smallest one out of the bunch? please don't make him say it, it's already killing him. ]
no subject
[ why must he always be so mysterious? why does he never just tell the others what he's doing? i don't know... at this point it really doesn't even serve any purpose, he just doesn't know any other way to live. ]
I'm fine with whatever the rest of you decide. I'm accustomed to living... [ on the run? ] ...without many luxuries.
[ honestly out of all of them, siegfried is a literal hobo, he really does not care at all where he has to stay. but he smiles at lancelot all the same for the consideration. ;) ] There's no need to be so mindful of me, Lancelot.
no subject
... except, not right at all. it put him behind a solid hour of travel time. but ever the optimist, he doesn't seem to let this actually affect him. especially, as he just shows up out of the blue. he throws the door open with a cheerful: ] Man! Who would have known this place was so big!
But, ah! Can you guys also believe all these apartments almost look exactly the same?! Wahaha, I guess I surprised a bunch of our neighbors. [ would he bang on their doors or just throw random doors open? absolutely... you guys left missile unsupervised??? ]
no subject
He hears Vane before seeing him, and is pretty sure opening the door like that poses a risk to the walls. This place is gonna be destroyed before the day is over if this keeps up. ]
You idiot! How did you manage to get lost on a one-way street?! [ And also: ]
You're too late. There's no more space left to distribute, so we have decided that you're sleeping outside.
no subject
[ he catches himself. after all, you're getting older?... you need a nice mattress to keep your back aligned. look at your posture?? not that any of these mattresses are tempur-pedic, so rip either way, dad. but he believes that siegfried can adapt to any situation, so he's not really concerned. still, he will always feel the need to prioritize his comfort.
percival is combative as always, though, and he sees it in his face before vane interrupts them. ]
There you are, Vane! You should really stay close to us. [ only he can get this lost... and it doesn't really surprise him he managed to barrel into other people's apartments. considering they have hadn't any complaints (yet), he assumes that he didn't offend anyone. ]
Like Percival said, there's only two rooms here, so ideally, we should pair off, but...
[ vague glance at percival. it's clear that percival wants his own room... ]
no subject
[ if only to make sure he doesn't make things worse... or just get lost again... or who knows, something even worse somehow.
he notices that "after all," and how it eerily isn't followed by any explanation. he can more or less figure out what lancelot had been about to say, though he isn't particularly bothered by it. after all, he really isn't as young as he used to be...
he'd rather just let the three of them sort things out, but vane is unlikely to be helpful at all here. and if the debate just comes down to percival and lancelot... well... he knows how that will turn out. so while lancelot is technically the highest ranking out of all of them, he'll assert (ex) Captain's Authority. ]
It's only fair that the two rooms be divided equally. Vane and Lancelot, you can take one room, while Percival and I will take the other. [ he can already predict percival complaining (though really, at the end of the day what's he gonna do about it). ]
It shouldn't be too much of an inconvenience for you, Percival.
no subject
still, at lancelot's and siegfried's words, he seems to give a bit of an apologetic smile, before a firm nod of comprehension. while vane had certainly yelled out a series of "my bad!!!"s before closing each door, he presumes that probably didn't constitute as much of a formal apology (if any at all). but, before he could begin to open his mouth and respond to it, he's cut off by siegfried's steadfast decision.
there's something authoritative around it that makes vane stand a little taller as he chimes in his agreement. ] Oh-kay! [ he puts a cheery emphasis to his words. ] Me and Lancey, huh? That's sort of nostalgic. Our breathing is already matched so it shouldn't be a problem!
no subject
Even Percival cannot argue that at the end of the day, productive discussion ended up with two people in each room. And honestly, considering the alternative...
Actually, he wouldn't have minded sharing a room with Lancelot that much, but sharing a room with Vane..........
So he crosses his arms at the suggestion (really, it's more of an authoritative statement). ]
That is fine. We should prepare the space immediately, then.
[ Yeah, no fun!! It's time to get situated!!! ]
no subject
[ being vane's best friend and superior, he feels the need to apologize for his fellow knight's behavior, also. he puts siegfried on a pedestal, though, so there's no question that he listens intently when he starts deciding the rooming situation. it's flawless planning, most certainly! he nods intently. ]
That is excellent planning, Siegfried! Our rooms are right next to eachother, and the walls are thin. I'll make sure Vane's loud breathing [ snoring?? ] doesn't bother either of you!
[ at percival's suggestion, he gets right to work. ] Let's go, Vane. We can take the smaller room... and ah, I'm going to need your help cleaning it.
[ after all, lancelot doesn't have the best track record of staying clean... and he's lowkey distressed about king carl. forgive him, vane... ]
no subject
I hadn't realized how thin the walls were. [ he'll actually walk over to one and knock on it just to check. dang... well, beggars can't be choosers. ] I'd heard from others that these lodgings are only temporary anyway. You'll all just need to bear this for a short while.
[ he says "you all," but they all really know that's directed to one person. the rest of them are pretty easygoing, all things considered. ]
That leaves us to clean the other, Percival. I hope you're ready to roll up your sleeves a bit. [ in fact, maybe this would be an ideal time to put on an outfit that is resistant to water... like say, a swimsuit.
no subject
or so vane thinks as he slinks across the screen towards the smaller room. already half-way in step here, he chimes in with a: ] Me too! If it's cleaning, leave it to me! [ all things considered, he was quite proficient in domestic work. cooking, included. looks like he'll have his work cut out for him, but it isn't a bad thing.
nothing he isn't accustomed to, either. even within the order he often fulfilled his duty of offering food and drink, especially after particularly daunting expeditions. but, more importantly: ] Eh!? I won't snore too loud. [ wait for it. ] ... except, for maybe tonight. [ sleeping somewhere unfamiliar was always a bit uncomfortable, after all. did terrible for sleeping posture and all.
at any rate, he quickly makes his way to the room, however. eager to make quick work of their living conditions. though, not without completing this thread with a: ] Percy? Is that a swimsuit you have on!? [ as he sticks his head out from the door frame of the smaller room. ]
no subject
He's just started to getting a relatively good mood and somewhat of a rhythm on his mop in the bathroom (though it's evident he doesn't really... do this very often) when that good mood is immediately soured by fucking VANE!!
He looks up with a scowl. ]
They are called khaki shorts, you uncultured mongrel. I am told that they are quite fashionable in this world. You should make an attempt to integrate yourself into the culture of the people here too, you know.
no subject
[ vane isn't only loud when he's awake, but when he sleeps, too... everyone expects that from him now, so the other knights don't often speak of it. this is the first time all four of them are staying in close quarters, so it's only suitable that he warns them all.
lancelot beings sorting through their room the moment he's in there, trying to gather as many things its previous owners had left behind as possible. evidently, they're just junk, but he sets them all aside regardless, letting vane decide whether or not they're acceptable to keep or throw away. he's no good at that kind of thing, after all. ]
Khaki shorts? I didn't want to say anything, but...
[ they do look like swim shorts! ]
Percival, perhaps you can show us to these shorts, so that we can be as fashionable as you!
no subject
siegfried has always been low maintenance, though he finally sets down his helmet and sword in the room, before trying to get a sense for how they should split this up. ]
I'm surprised you managed to acquire such a hot commodity so quickly.
[ when did you do that?? siegfried won't question it though... he'll just silently judge percival in the back of his mind. not for buying the shorts, but for buying them only for himself. you're supposed to be a team. ]
They look quite tight though. Are you not uncomfortable?
no subject
vane is just happy to be with you guys. ]
no subject
kind of like how it's inarguable that spyro, like vane, is simply very very happy. ] Khakis?? Honestly, that sounds more like a food, but... if you say so, Percy! I feel like it'd tear if I wore them. [ like siegfried said, they did seem pretty tight.
if anything, vane was more accustomed to loose fitting garments. he liked feeling free and liberated. like spyro. ]
no subject
[ So Lancelot can be fashionable too. Man, he really feels like a fashion guru right now. Maybe he should make it a point to go buy a few more pairs for his bros. So that all you fuckers can suffer equally. Vane's not even getting a bigger size, either.
He continues mopping, pausing when he reaches the doorway and finds something odd near the hallway. ]
Hmm. What is this contraption?
[ Well? What will it be? Do your worst, you fucking assholes. ]
no subject
one has to wonder how he's able to walk when it hugs his bottom that way. lancelot isn't the type to say anything about it, but trust vane to be the one who commented on the khakis in the first place. ]
They're... no, they're fashionable. I will look forward to trying it on for myself.
[ if nothing else, he's quite sincere about that.
anyway, lancelot is still in the process of fixing up his and vane's room, blissfully unaware of said contraption. i can't do my worst anymore, i'm a broken man. leaves almas fate to rift ]
no subject
alas, there isn't. not now. ]
Hm? What was that, Percival?
[ the room is basically empty otherwise, so not much to see there. some cleaning will be necessary, but it's only fair that percival contribute as well to that. so siegfried comes back out, glancing down the hallway in the direction of percy's gaze. ]
I see... that's quite something. [ hm. ] Vane, come take a look at this.
[ my idea was veto'd so it's come to this. ]
no subject
on one hand, vane would have appreciated the extra space the loft beds could have provided. even more so if they had offered shelving space between the bunks. regardless, it all truly lost now. still, since lancelot seemed to being doing a steady job ad tidying up their room, vane takes it upon himself to check out the kitchen space. or was going to before siegfried calls him over??
he wonders what would incite this reaction, but he jogs on over. ] Hm, what is this? [ he reaches over to pick it up. it seemed like some sort of bidet extension for the toilet? not that vane knows this. do they have bidets in their age? but, wow. how luxurious!? ]
no subject
This must be an advanced technology, perhaps similar to what we encountered in Thesa Station.
It looks a bit like a communicator. [ And now, he puts it to his ear. Like he's trying to listen to a seashell. ]
feel free to drop this yall...
[ he should put it against his ear like that? although who really knows for sure what it does. it could be a weapon or something dangerous! ]
Pervical, perhaps we should put that away in case its former members wish to find retrieve it... after all, its purpose is unknown right now. We should tread carefully...
[ the sole voice of reason... ]
never
[ whatever it is. though as he studies the shape, siegfried starts to... get an idea... ]
Though I agree, I think it would be best not to touch that with your face.
no subject
[ though, he also has no reason to doubt lancelot's claims. if anything, if he said it was potentially dangerous, caution should be taken. so here he is reaching up to try and pull it from percival. ] Let me pose with it once!
[ okay, caution should be taken after he gets his turn.... ]
