Merlin Thirst Incident

The Merlin Thirst Incident is a Fate Says event focused around Merlin Says and his thirst for water.

Day 1
On July 29th, 2018, Astolfo Says answered a CuriousCat question asking "How many thirsty dms do you get?" with "Do people saying they love me and asking me out on dates count as "thirsty"? If so, a lot. If not, none."

Later that day, Merlin Says replied on Twitter with "Check your DMs ;)"

Merlin had direct messaged Astolfo a picture with a caption, resulting in the following exchange. M: "SIR ASTOFLO (sic) YOU GOT TO HELP ME, I HAVEN'T HAD WATER IN 3 DAYS. I'M LOST AFTER EVERYONE DECIDED TO GO HIKING. FOU DRANK ALL THE WATER AND I'M SUPER THIRSTY CALL LADY DA VINCI."

A: "Hm... Merlin, what can you do for me in return~"

M: "A FREE MAGI☆MARI T-SHIRT AND AUTOGRAPH"

A: "I'm sorry, Merlin-san~ That's not good enough~ You're going to have to PERISH"

Day 2
On July 30th, 2018, El-Melloi II Says made the following tweet.

"You fools. I tried to warn all of you about Merlin’s thirstiness, you all gave him water and now his thirstiness is above the charts and is beyond unstoppable."

Merlin responded with an image of Merlin from Fate/Grand Order holding a bottle of Dasani bottled water with the caption "Thirsty".

Incident
While in a thread where Ozymandias Says lamented the theft of his sphinxes, Billy the Kid Says mentioned Merlin while proclaiming "Hey Merlin !!!! These guys all have water for you!!!!" Merlin was instantly drawn to the thread, drinking Astolfo's industrial shredder and beginning a bout of mass panic and hysteria among the Fate Says Servants.

Later that day, Nero Claudius posted, "I check my Twitter and find the other servants panicking and I do not know what's going on. Someone please explain."

Merlin posted a photo edit involving the famous scene of the Remedial Chaos Theory episode of the TV series Community where the character Troy walks into a chaotic room after getting pizza, but with the faces of Merlin, Nero, Billy, Jeanne d'Arc (Alter), Ozymandias and Gawain edited in.

Nero Claudius soon posted a version of this image with many of the Fate Says Servants drawn in the scene instead of edited in, receiving many retweets and likes from the Fate Says community.
