WEEK 5; TRIAL

[killerwaves]

TRIAL

Three dead, one vote. This might be a pit of a pickle, huh? Perhaps appropriately, the kittybots are serving pickles of all flavors today, along with food that might remind you of your childhood like ants on a log, gummy worm sundaes and adorable toast in sweet and savory profiles. To drink, are their best attempts at replicating the DD refreshers with a whole array of silly straws.

Off to the side in a booth of their own are the bodies as well as attendant kittybots (well two bodies and one arm); simply request which body you'd like to look at and the kitty bots will direct you appropriately, given the number of arms floating around. The kittybots continue to do their best.

(( OOC: Welcome to your third trial! You'll have 7 hours (8PM EST/5PM PST) to vote one (1) person guilty of murder. Since this is scapegoat style, finding the correct killer is not mandatory!

Please remember to vote before then unless you've spoken to a mod, as votes are our stand-in for AC. ))

... indeed. If there are no signs of poisoning on anybody here, then either the culprit came prepared... or they were immune.

[finalmix]

Or healed up. Healing extends to poisons too, right?

[ they still have some healers left? ]

[idologue]

Ah. That's true.

[diabolizes]

And I suppose they could heal physical evidence of the poisoning as well...

[dupiety]

Not necessarily in every case. Typically, my healing tends to cover physical injuries rather than poisonings.

[chrysaline]

Mine would, normally... but with how weak it is here, I'm not sure. The only chance I've had to try it was when Wei Wuxian was hurt.

[ And those results were, well. ]

[microtransactions]

I can pretty honestly say I've never really had to try to deal with poisonings before...

[dakicover]

I've never had a reason to heal from poison either...but considering how it's been weakened by this island, I feel I wouldn't be able to heal so easily from a poison that spreads out all over the body versus a localized wound.

[solutionary]

It might depend on the extent of the poisoning and what caused it, but yes, at least some of the signs should be fixable with healing.

[diabolizes]

Though I have to wonder... how fast-acting would this poisoning be, and would that factor into healing?

[diabolizes]

I agree. Given that Zelkov had blisters on his face and his hand... someone took preventative measures, or was immune.

[necrotiem]

Let's not be hasty...

How did you and Wang Lu get inside again? Could they have done the same?

[idologue]

Merlin's companion provided us with gas masks.

I don't believe it's entirely impossible for the culprit to have done the same, but it would have had to happen in the throws of battle.

[necrotiem]

[She crosses her arms.] Did it now...? How helpful.

You may be right. The timeline of events here is most difficult to iron out... but I doubt there was time for any unhurried preparation in the laboratory.

[chrysaline]

Let's see... if it were set up first, the bottles wouldn't have been on the floor like that, right? So... either Zelkov or whoever was with him from Sungem did that after getting to the lab? Even though one of them was already hurt. It doesn't seem like the easiest way to fight.
