苦境

苦 = 艹 + 古 : Karl Koala decided to repent for his sins and retreated into a cloister inside the space station. There he leads a very simple life full of hardship, e.g. he gave up on eucalyptus and just eats very bitter artificial lawn.

境 = 土 + 竟 : Joan of Arc wants to start her own kingdom and starts with claiming her own territory in the engine's bathroom. She created some walls out of mud but because she has no money to pay, she has a very inexpensive border control consisting of Jacks in their boxes.
