Who: Magnus the Red & Konrad Curze (+ siblings??)
What: Magnus will have his revenge conducts a perfectly normal intervention on his brother's level of Stench.
When: Slightly before the 9th.
Where: The showers
Content warnings: Who even knows with Warhammers; will tag in comment headers as they come up. Minimum, someone's getting stuffed in a shower against his will.

Magnus the Red is plotting revenge on his brother.

He will not acknowledge what he is doing by that name, but it is most certainly revenge he is intending to take on one Konrad Curze.

All the ingredients are there: A tangible injury (to Magnus' pride), the sense an injustice has been done that needs redress, and the intent to cause hurt (to Konrad's ... dignity? His patina of filth?) in return.

But he will not call it revenge, because Magnus -- master of the ulterior motive -- has other well-justified reasons to hunt his brother down and shove him into a running shower until the stink's washed off of him. First and most importantly: Konrad needs it. (Everyone around Konrad needs it. Anyone who wants to live with him in the Library long-term needs it.) Second: Konrad is unlikely to acquiesce to this necessity if Magnus were to ask. Third: There is something off about Konrad's vitality that he had noticed, but not thought to question, last they argued spoke. Something that might or might not be tied into the intended medical condition that necessitated constant servitor monitoring. Thus, fourth: Since Konrad would not answer questions about what required such monitoring, he likewise would not answer questions about what had dimmed the palpable sense of inhuman strength every primarch bore coiled in his aura.

Thus, to address all of these at once, Magnus will have his revenge address them all at once by forcibly arranging the much-needed shower.

The Cyclops does not enact his plan immediately. (Revenge is, after all, best served cold.) He takes his time to luxuriate in the Library, to meditate, to think over all he has heard about the Imperium's future -- near-term and far -- from his other brothers. He does not avoid Konrad; nor does he seek his dark brother out, merely makes note of his habits and where he is -- and is not -- during the Library's endless lumen-lit day. He scouts the (woefully spartan) sanitary facilities, making note of their layout and relative dimensions, and what is and isn't present to use.

Then, when the time is right, Magnus strikes.

Like any good ambush, it looks wholly innocuous to start. Magnus does not stoop to sneaking up on his brother -- he merely approaches him in a moment Konrad happens to be near the living quarters. "Konrad," he says, warmly.

Then he makes a lightning-fast grab for his brother's shoulder. If this were a mortal -- granted, a mortal of truly prodigious size -- it would be nothing to spin the other man around and pin him in a restraining hold.

He expects much more resistance. For all his height, Magnus is not the most skilled of his brothers in physical combat. Konrad should easily break his hold, under normal conditions. This will be a useful test!
