THE SECOND VICTIM

[airlockedmods]

[It's been one week since Mikaela and Mai died, and so far, it looks as though this week should have been safer than any. Everyone's been bonding closely, and though P.A.L. attempted to hand down secret motivations for murderer, they've been undermined somewhat by your willingness to share secrets.

You've all been doing well.

Nonetheless, something is amiss somewhere in the mansion this morning.]

I... I am uncertain if anybody is not busy at the moment. I can look, but...

[If she's running around looking for someone to help, that probably just means someone will momdad her into the dining hall.]

...but please, have faith in yourself as well.

[goteachother]

Okay, yeah, yer right. Everyone's got enough goin on they don'-

[And she knows from last week that people don't always take well to others getting sick so...]

Help me look around s'more then?

Don't... touch that sheet, though.

[Cue more exploring? Yes indeed... though really a bathroom is only so big.]

[airlockedmods]

[This one's gonna take some searching, but I suppose you would eventually get around to looking in the toilet tanks?]

[daughterofthemark]

[Arianna will do that! She doesn't care that that's kind of a weird place to look. Toilets are strange and magical devices and they're always worth investigating.]

[airlockedmods]

[There is a medicine bottle in one of them! Looks like zolpidem.]

[daughterofthemark]

[Arianna reaches in and pulls out a presumably dripping wet bottle of... what the hell is this?

Well, okay, she knows it's medicine, the bottle looks similar to the ones she's gotten out of her dumbwaiter. She's not familiar with this particular medicine though. (Or... any others...)]

Hmm...

[goteachother]

[And there's a Queenie leaning over to see what you're hmming at Arianna.]

What's that?

Some sorta medicine?

[daughterofthemark]

So it seems. Something called... zolpidem? [She turns the bottle upside down.] Wapidloz?

[goteachother]

[See this is what she means about the smart people need to do this.

She just kind of shrugs helplessly. She knows some latin but what even is this.]

Your guess is as good as mine, sweetie.

[daughterofthemark]

...we'll ask about it at the rose ceremony.

[It might be standard murdergame practice to call those mockeries of justice "trials" but Arianna will do no such thing.]
