CHAPTER 2

monday

tuesday

wednesday

thursday

The first chapter was over. The stakes and mechanics of the system you're in have been shown to their full extent, and regardless of how you feel about the Samidare and Zola's deaths, the story must go on.

Clean-up is done with a perfection that'd make you wonder if there ever was a murder on that rooftop in the residential district. Everything is spotless and repaired, making it look like nothing ever happened. If it wasn't for the absence of two people among your number, you'd think it had all been a bad dream. But it wasn't. The brutality of the incident and the execution make that plainly clear.

Now, with the opening of a new week, something else opens. Lands beyond the area you spent seven days in. What will the new week bring? Will it be another murder?

Keep turning the pages and find out.

[[Welcome to Week 2! Feel free to make top levels at your discretion, and remember to note it in your header if you plan on investigating any locations. However, please try to keep investigations to Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday! You can also privately contact Hamelin at your leisure.

In addition, a reminder that any Murder Proposals for this week are due by Tuesday 3:00 PM EST/12:00 PM PST! However, please note that you have the option of submitting murder proposals for a later week as well.]]

I don't smoke. The taste is... repugnant to me.

[She's not judging though. Not outloud anyway.]

...I was looking for the ingredients to a... alechemical brew I had at home. It helps with insomnia, or it's supposed to anyway. They don't have any of them, so either they're different herbs or they're named different things. Either way, irritating.

[mathodical]

It is a reasonably acquired taste.

[ he will concede that, at least, but once he hears of her problem, he will straighten up in interest. ]

I could help. I have some degree of interest in chemistry. What are you looking for, specifically?

[ he may not recognise everything, but, he'll probably know enough. ]

[crimson_flamel]

[Well. It's worth a shot.]

From memory it's Morfis-Plum seeds crushed up and mixed with chamomile, honey and vinegar in an alembic. It's brewed into a truly awful tasting tea and then topped up with a dash of orange juice.

It's supposed to drift you into sleep.

[Whether Morfis-Plum seeds have any special qualities or not, the main ingredient is actually the chamomile and the vinegar is just something they put there for some reason in fantasy medieval europe.]

[mathodical]

[ chamomile he's seen among the florals in the apothecary, so he'll make a note of that, and honey and vinegar are definitely in the kitchen, probably, but the last-- ]

I'm not entirely familiar with Morfis-Plum seeds. Could you describe what they look like?

[rip rpg mats ]

... Trouble sleeping, my lady?

[ he sounds sympathetic. ]

[crimson_flamel]

Well, nothing new. I've been dealing with insomnia for... four years now? Since that wretched day...

[She shakes her head.]

They're... large red seeds, around the size of a grape. They have a hard exterior but they're often cracked open for the softer extract from within, that's what's brewed into the tea.

[Just extremely mutated plum seeds, basically.]

[mathodical]

[ empathetic nod. he may not know exactly what happen, and it would be rude to pry-- ]

... Wretched day? What happened?

[ --nevermind, he's prying. he at least sounds sympathetic about it, though ]

So, an extract that's water soluble, fruit or plant based, and possibly with narcotic effects to induce sleep-- if we can't locate the exact thing perhaps we can find something close enough to replace it?
