THE SECOND VICTIM

[It was getting unbearable. The illness, the stress, the threat of death, either by oneself or by another. The worry about finding a cure for a disease that, in this comparatively primitive world, might not even exist outside of the Depths.

However, on Friday morning - or what the Titled could at least conceive as Friday - all the Titled will wake up with the remnants of a very soothing sensation in their throats. Cool and at the same time almost burning, like someone had dropped liquid menthol down their throat while they were sleeping.

They will also find something else, especially if they had been infected: their perception of time is back to normal. Which means one of two things. One of the Titled actually managed to create the potion needed to cure the disease, or...the Titled might have an Inquisition looming on the horizon.

There is only one way to find out.



((OOC: Just a reminder that, due to the nature of the motive this week, there may be references to self-harm and suicide, along with other possible triggers, during this Inquisition, including during the Investigation, and that potentially triggering comments should (and comments by the mods will) be given a trigger heading on those comments.))]]

[WOW OK NOT WHAT HE WAS EXPECTING.

What is this delicious smell?]

[strangerpeople]

[PIES! OH NOMNOMNOMNOM

Wait, they happen to be shepard's pies!]

[defriendestration]

[.......Really.

Well, those pies sure are...well, delicious, but maybe he should look at them more closely. What will he notice??]

[strangerpeople]

[If he is one to tell, that smell? Has been around for awhile. And the pies on the cooking pit? Still warm.]

[defriendestration]

NYEH...

[Now that is interesting. Pies and all of them still nice and warm, with a smell wafting in the air.



This must mean something! He should probably gather all of these pies...]

[strangerpeople]

[But before you do, you may wanna check the area a bit more. Because there's two bottles that look out of place!]

[defriendestration]

[?

Huh...what is it about those two bottles that look out of place, aside from...well...being out of place?]

[strangerpeople]

[Well, one bottle happens to be wine and the other smaller one, if you can't tell by the color is blood. But both have been drunken from.]

[defriendestration]

[fehruighwe OK THEN

JUST

GOING TO TAKE THE PIES OUT NOW THOSE LOOK LIKE THEY ARE IMPORTANT TO WHAT'S GOING ON





Ok, ok, he will also bring out the bottles because those...look kind of important as well, but he is not enjoying any of this. Seriously, blood!?

Are there any more horrors Papyrus will find??]

[strangerpeople]

[Nope, you are clear to go Puzzle Master!]
