Ding-dong, the witch is dead

[losergod]

[ So Marie's dead now, which means they are FULL game to have earned a break. He'll see what he can scrounge up to cook up something for everyone in the kitchen, and he's totally going to get some alcohol for some people and possibly out of spite some of her wine from the cellar.

And make sure everyone has something. Tea, if not alcohol desired, or water.

He's also going to be making sure Jonathan is taken care of, and rebandaging his wound, and whatnot. You never know!

He is totally busting out the cute dress Angela made for this. ]

[Surprisingly, Barbara isn't at the party this time. Where could she be, you may ask? Well, if you go to the second floor, and get near the den, you might hear the reason why.

CRASH!

SMASH!]

And that is for Richard!

This one's for Mr. Rosenkruez!

[CRASH!

Seems that Barbara is letting out her rage in an interesting way: wrecking Marie's custom made room with her favorite wine.

She's...probably going to do this for a while...]

[vividsins]

[ Baku will first be found at the party. He'll make merry, have a good time and let loose. No alcohol, only tea and food, and he'll enjoy himself. Even dance, if anyone is up for it. ]

Tonight, we party. Tomorrow, private showers for everyone! Who wants the Commander's room? I think that's empty now!

[ Even later, though, he can be found taking that fancy, blue card he obtained and looking around and trying to use it. See what he can unlock. See what he can find. Because his curiosity is insatiable. Someone miiiight wanna stick with him before he finds deadly neurotoxin. ]

[It's significantly later in the night when Nagisa makes an appearance for someone other than his brothers. After his admission during the trial, he gets it if most of the others don't want much to do with him...he thinks he's made it pretty clear he doesn't want to kill anyone who's left, but well. A lack of trust is deadly.

Sup Baku. Sorry if he did the thing where he's just kind of suddenly here.]

I guess we do have the run of the place now.

[vividsins]

[ On one hand, Nagisa is someone he'd like on his side. On the other, Nagisa could probably murder him and no one would find the body for there to be a trial. ]

Mm, at the very least we should see if there's an actual infirmary somewhere. I trust that her boss will eventually show up, and that might end up a fight. We could use real medical supplies.

[theserpentsmiles]

It wouldn't be too surprising to find one, in a facility like this.Or, if not a dedicated room or supplies, some...means. [There's a frickin' laser room why wouldn't they have some kind of medbay. Or maybe the living base can do something, he doesn't know.]

For the motive, Commander-san said she could contact the dead through the base, right? If she wasn't lying, that means we don't actually need her for that.

[vividsins]

Maybe we'll find it. But I'm focusing on medical supplies. The lab is nice, but I don't recall it having too much. Maybe the Commander has a map in her room... A more complete one.

[ So, first stop, the commander's room. Time to snoop! Anything that looks like it could lead to a med bay or something? ]

[strangerpeople]

[Nothing that screams "med bay", but considering how Marie had healed a certain cut, there is a bloodied washcloth sticking out of a laundry pile in the corner.

She clearly didn't do her own laundry that often, blech.]

[theserpentsmiles]

[Richard was useful postmortem, that's cool.

...let's dig through her laundry, shall we?]

[vividsins]

[ While Nagisa does that, he's looking for a map or something like that. ]

[strangerpeople]

[No map, but there is a bottle of water on her nightstand.

Also, her laundry smells gross. Like, really gross. Bleeeech.]

[backuphero]

[This entire business sickens him. Jonathan wants to curl up in a ball and sleep for months. He does not want to be on the edge of a celebration having gauze pulled out of his hair. He doesn't want to celebrate, period.

So yes, he looks pretty sullen once C's done with him for the moment. He doesn't want to stand up too soon, though. The dizziness is still there. So is the pain. This sucks and he hates it.

And anyone who gets a look at his face can tell.]

[fashionfever]

[Angela is now just sitting down close to his bedside. Her expression is the exact same shape as that smile she plastered on.]

It took me a couple tries to get it quite like this... Here you go.

[It's a... sippy cup... with a curly straw...]

[backuphero]

[He's back in bed and has an Angel...a... at his side. This is slightly better than the way the night was going. More than slightly. This is way better.]

Thanks, Ange.

[The cup looks silly, but it's charming - and it's beer.]

Holy - okay, I know I'm not supposed to drink right now but thank you.

[fashionfever]

[Her hooped earrings sway as she nods and smiles.]

Don't tell C. I figure, I didn't keep this stuff from the Miller brothers, I can't keep it from you. [She traces her fingertip down the side of a table or something.] Molly and I tested it out, it should be more nourishing than you'd think...

[backuphero]

[Jonathan blinks, and then sips at the cup, struggling to keep his lips sealed around the straw - he wants to smile, wants to laugh at the way it loops around itself. This whole situation is just so weird.

But that is definitely beer. Good beer, not bitter, more like the stuff he'd tried in England before they jumped the Channel than not.]

My head feels a little better. For real. Did you... is this spelled? Wait, no, wrong word - enchanted?

[All their mages were sealed up, weren't they? If there was even one left besides Yurick. But with Marie dead, then maybe...]

[fashionfever]

Well, it's my power, so it just kind of comes out this way. It's not like I made the beer and then cast a spell on it.

[backuphero]

[He blinks. And blinks again. And sips more of the beer through the ridiculous loopy straw while he tries to figure out what question to ask first.]

So I'm guessing the cup came with it, then?

[fashionfever]

[Her smile at this looks tired for some reason.]

I can make beer without containers, but I don't like doing it.

[vividsins]

[ Later in the evening, after the exploration adventure, Baku is going to find Jonathan and shove a water bottle at him. ]

Drink it. I want to test something. Don't worry, it's not poison. I had some.

[theserpentsmiles]

It's not poison, I'm pretty sure.

[Baku will have more than finding an antidote to worry about if he's lying. Nagisa doesn't think he is though.]

[backuphero]

[So it was a good thing he'd wandered back into the Mess, at least. Nagisa doesn't look like he's mad at him for wandering again, anyway, and Baku's being... unaccustomedly nice.]

Angela gave me some beer and it helped, but... sure?

[He stares at the water bottle, leaving it capped as he does so, then gives the both of them a dubious look.]

This ain't just vodka, right? 'Cause that's not a prank to play right now on me.

[vividsins]

It's water from the stream in the den.

[ He's not being nice, you're just a guinea pig. ]

It healed a scratch, and since you're the one who's worse for wear, let's see what it does!

[backuphero]

[He's smiling, and while the cut and bruising on Jonathan's head is all fixed thanks to HEALING BEER, HOLY SHIT, ALL HAIL SAINT ANGELA, the concussion's aftereffects remain. A smile and an offer like that means he's being nice, as far as Jonathan's concerned.]

How long did it take?

[Not that he's really... bothering to wait for an answer before uncapping the bottle and gulping down half of it in a rush.]

Weird. Doesn't taste... it's like there's something in it. Dunno what.

[theserpentsmiles]

We think it's how she pulled off the second motive. Baku-san rushed off soon after finding it, so it must work quickly.

[Nagisa frets - he wants Jonathan to be alright.]

[strangerpeople]

[It's very sweet tasting. But after a moment or two, Jonathan's going to start feeling a lot better very quickly. Also a little dizzy from the fact it's his head and brain that's being affected.

But still better.]
