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.))]]

[...Shit, she didn't ask for something like this. Are we talking formula as in a chemistry formula or what?]

[strangerpeople]

[It's a chemistry formula!]

[zephyranthe]

[Goddamnit, the only chemistry she's good at is the type that lets people make homemade explosives...

Well... what is actually written there anyways? As in, what does it look like they were trying to make (if anything)?]

[strangerpeople]

[Sadly, it's very hard to make out what is written inside other than the formula. The only thing she can see clearly is 'baijiu']

[zephyranthe]

[Wow, people should write their chemistry formulas more legibly!! Geez!! ...What the fuck is a baijiu though and would it be a good idea to check out the library after this?]

[strangerpeople]

[Yeah, it might be better to look it up after the trial.]

[zephyranthe]

[Well, okay then. While Maglor's looking at that... uplifting note, is there anything else of consequence here?]

[strangerpeople]

[yo dawg I heard you like books]
