[ the only reason yuri is usually in the common room is, honestly, alcohol. he's sat at the bar and has a bottle of wine in front of him, but he doesn't seem to be drinking from it or the glass in front of him.
[Lenore usually just comes here for the booze, too! But this time, she takes a couple minutes to look around the hot tub, seemingly curious about something... before also making her way over to the bar, where she sits at the counter. She's about to reach for a glass, but pauses, considering Yuri instead.]
Actually, I was in the med bay. The effects could be pointing to some other humid place... [and hopefully they do. no one deserves to be subjected to the stench of vlad.]
Or... more related to the person in question. But then again, last week in the dog park the dogs were sluggish like they were drugged and it turned out drugs were used in a murder.
[ ... ]
Another thing to ask the Avatars about, maybe. As if we didn't have enough to bother them about as is.
The murderer likely intended to use a drug from the start, right? That's why I wonder if there were any effects that couldn't have been... you know, pre-planned.
But... You're right. The Avatars might be able to just tell us the answer.
[lenore swirls her cup a little.] Ah, but the shrimp appeared after the murder was done. So unlike the effects from Thursday evening, they could point to something that's already transpired.

Are you all right?
no subject
I'm fine. All things considered.
[ he leans a little, like he's trying to see the hot tub from here. ] Were you looking for something?
no subject
[a short sigh.] Though I'd be surprised if anyone still wanted to use the hot tub at this point.
no subject
[ .... oh right. the hot tub. hm. ] Even if someone cleans it now, I'm not sure I'd risk it.
[ it is still rife with the stench of vlad. probably. ]
no subject
Were you on the fifth floor, then?
no subject
[ the stench of vlad maybe banging in the hot tub. terrible. ]
Yes, in the house.
no subject
And what did you see in the house?
no subject
[ he sips his wine. ]
Checking it just now? The house is locked and full of smoke.
no subject
Hunger and food, though... hmm.
I saw something strange after leaving the med bay, actually. In the City. [she... hesitates, and pours herself a drink.]
Shrimp. Falling from the sky.
no subject
[ he closes his eyes. ]
Shrimp?
no subject
[she looks very tired.]

The... liberties this place takes to make us aware of what happened sure are something.
no subject
I can't disagree. At times, they're absolutely ridiculous. I wonder what really causes them...
no subject
no subject
Is it related to the murderer's intentions? Or are we really seeing a glimpse of the future?

no subject
Well, within reason. They might not be able to, but then might be able to hint.

Shrimp though. Did someone throw them? Try to use them as weaponry?
no subject
[especially if they're raining on you.]
Maybe Eleanor decided to get a late-night snack? It wouldn't be the smartest thing to do, but... [gestures at croissants and toblerones]
no subject
[ ick ]
...
Why is it always food with us?
