Whether it's a small gentle smile, a loud laugh, or even a menacing grin, I'd like to know those small moments that make you smile when adventuring down there.
Nothing big or too special, stuff like those times a greaver dashes face first into a knight's charged sword, bumping up the graphics setting for a few seconds just to stare at the prettiness of the Clockworks, seeing a random fellow Troika user *cough*, etc. Those sorts of little things.

I binge listen to about ALL Spiral Knights soundtrack, so much that I can name EVERY SINGLE SONG. So whenever I go down in the Clockworks and hear the soundtrack, I go "Hey, it's Noxious Descent (Looking for a Cure)!" or "CRI IT'S A GOOD KNIGHT'S REST"
And I tend to smile because I feel proud of myself for remembering the names, or it makes me nostalgic, or awfully sad because 1. the music is sad, 2. it reminds me of things that probably won't come... :(
I pretty much love all scenario rooms I come across.
One thing that makes me smile though is when I see a new knight in earlier tiers doing their darndest to fight things. You know the playstyle - use proto sword on enemy, click rapidly. What is dodging or shielding? It's always a joy to repeatedly save them from danger with a status or iron slug.
I always enjoy it when a trojan kills another trojan. Makes me laugh.
External music that plays in rhythm with your blowing dust zombies back to the abyss is my favorite.
I remember a few years back during an April Fools event, was running FSC. We got right to the end of the first floor and the usual 2 trojans spawn, except this time a thought bubble popped up ontop of their head and it said "Donuts..." Was laughing so hard I almost died to them (literally in-game).
I totally forgot about april fools day. I love that event, it's great. The GM forum itself always makes me laugh.
That awesome moment in the second level of roarmulus twins, in the room with the 3 buttons positioned in a horizontal line, when i manage to kill all the quicksilvers that spawned (around 4) at once with a single winter grave charge. Also winter grave shot at the slime king or one of the roarmulus twins and just hearing that faint ice crack sound as it goes through the body, hitting them several times. Or going like a madman in lockdown with a fang of vog and hitting several enemies with the charge, setting them on fire.
Seeing a tile which I hadn't seen since the game's release.
I cried on the inside.
