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. ))

[ These birds probably didn't a bath like this? There's no signs of any kind of acidic reaction. Shaking the cup gently doesn't speed up the reaction either no matter how long he stands there being the most sketchy barista. ]

[solutionary]

[OKAY SO that narrows it down!! He'll just stick the bird cup in his box of Sketchy Lab Stuff so no one touches it after a couple minutes of shaking doesn't do anything.

Time to go pick a test subject see if Beel is feeling generous.]

Beelzebub, do you know how well you would take potential sedatives? I know your stomach is quite resilient [and carrying most of their investigations] but inhalants are a bit different.

[at least he's not just gonna roofie him?? he asked first!!]

[gluttoning]

Mn?

[What a weird question, but okay.]

I don't know. If they don't smell good, I don't think I would bother to try.

Why?

[solutionary]

I'm reasonably sure [like 65% which is great for only having this sandbar as a science lab] that the mysterious compound I brought from the lab is a specific sedative. Temenos had a reaction when he breathed it in and it didn't act like an acid on the bird I tested it on.

I was thinking that--if you wouldn't injure yourself by trying mind you--you could try breathing some in to see if it was or not. If you start to have an adverse reaction I can heal it, but it could be important to figuring out what was preplanned in the laboratory. You're the most sturdy of the people here with foreign substances.

[you're also the group's Guinea pig, but that's the quiet part we don't say out loud.]

[gluttoning]

You just want me to smell it?

[He frowns a little, but slowly nods.]

I don't mind, but I'm not sure I could tell you what it was. What do you want me paying attention to?

[solutionary]

I would need you to take several deep breaths of it, nasally or orally, just don't drink it. You'd want to pay attention for any weakness in your limbs, dizziness, nausea, headache. Any irritation feelings in your throat or lungs, too.

Again, I can heal the damage after is there is any, and you stop at any time and I will heal you from the effects.

[gluttoning]

...

Okay. I'll try.

[Time to huff some chemicals I guess.]

[killerwaves]

[ lab safety.............!!!

Anyway, his symptoms will match up to what Baizhu stated above: dizziness, headache, and some nausea. None of these will be debilitating but definitely unpleasant. It's also unpleasant to breathe for sure. ]

[gluttoning]

[Oof.

He gets only a few whiffs in, coughing a bit, but once that nausea hits, he shakes his head rapidly as he growls under his breath and holds the jar far away from his face.]

No. Getting dizzy, sick to my stomach.

I'm not going any further. Get it away from me.

[solutionary]

Thank you for checking Beelzebub, that's fine to stop.

[Away the beaker goes, firmly capped once more. Baizhu offers a glowing green hand to Beel after he secures the glass of likely-chloroform. As long as Beel doesn't motion to brush Baizhu away, he'll set the hand on Beel and heal him just like he promised.]

[gluttoning]

[Actually.]

[townmusician]

[here comes haruka to say the quiet part outloud again.]

Should we really be using Beel as a guinea pig right now?

[solutionary]

[haruka's favorite job while on vacation]

If we know what this is, we can figure out whether something else was planned. If someone who died was the one who originally set up a murder, but they were caught or interrupted, wouldn't you like to know? It could make narrowing down the killers among us slightly easier as well.

[townmusician]

[Well, there goes Beel huffing chemicals anyways...

Closes his eyes...]

I guess.

[If Beel passes out Haruka isn't helping to catch him.]

[solutionary]

[It's fine!!! Baizhu fixed it]

Thank you for your cooperation Haruka. I know this [This, this everything on the island] isn't exactly easy. One more piece of the puzzle could make it stop sooner though.

[dupiety]

You think it's chloroform, don't you? I had a similar thought when I got a whiff. I believe it's a reasonable conclusion to make without putting Beelzebub at risk.

[solutionary]

Yes, I do. And it's hardly the most dangerous thing we have asked of Beelzebub, is it?

[dupiety]

...this is quite dangerous, even for him. But I realize I don't have much room to talk.

You had better heal him if he does have adverse effects.

[It was promised already, but he's being Serious here.]

[solutionary]

Of course! I wouldn't be much of a doctor if I didn't, and I did promise.

[ty for acknowledging the group's hypocrisy. Poor Beel]
