FIFTH TRIAL

[bathymetric]

[ It's not terribly long, once everything has been found, before Davy Jones heads out to round you all up once more and take you into the theatre. At least plenty of you are around the same area, so it probably doesn't take terribly long.

The ride down to the trial room is the same as ever - a blast of the organ, a slow descent. It's really starting to become clear, though, just how your numbers are decreasing. You're already down three, counting the absence of Chloe, potentially more when you come back up.

The crew of the Dutchman is singing as Jones lets you out into the trial room. ]

To business, passengers. I am about if you need guidance.

[ The circle of podiums is less populated than ever. So many of you are islands now, so to speak.

The song dies down, the waters quiet.

Welcome to your fifth trial.. ]

[Freyja still looks deathly pale, but she's...trying her best to be here and present. She owes Plumeria that much.]

I don't think Plumeria knows-

[...]

...I don't think Plumeria knew what acetaminophen is. If the medications were gone through in a rush, I don't know if she would have done that - she would have had to go through everything, and read all of the labels individually.

[Constantine nods, a grim expression on his face.]

Especially after...well. The incident from the other week.

[leaveittomother]

I'm not sure Decus would either. He knows the existence of such things but his world seems to rely on... things like 'gels' for quick health restoration?

[jibunwo]

There were a lot of medications out with roughly all the same function. I would believe someone was looking through them for possibly the strongest or most efficient one.

[leaveittomother]

That could be it, true.

[scouserer]

So, then, with this information, the question is--what were they doing in first aid room to begin with?

[sivard]

Gels are what I'd go for, too. I've never heard of the aceta-thing before.

[scythegun]

Oh, agreed, but since there aren't any gels here, it's possible he familiarized himself with the medicines, ja?

[You'd better believe Yeager did!!]

Besides, he was dreadfully sick once; I think he would have learned from that and tried to make sure he knew how to treat it.

[leaveittomother]

That's true... he likely could have asked or looked through it since then. Though, there is the possibility that there was another person doing the looking. We did seem to have evidence that someone tried to help Plumeria indicating the presence of a third.

[scythegun]

That is true. We'll have to be careful to consider everything, but given that Decus' iron maiden [gestures to that horrible hell thing he brought down here for some reason??] was in the first aid room, I think it's very likely that it was Decus, don't you?

[leaveittomother]

That's true...

[ahelpingpaw]

Would this stuff even work on you? I mean, I wouldn't know for sure any of the medications would work on me due to dosage or something, maybe it would be different on you and Plumeria.

[Sure would be dangerous, really. At least it was confirmed the sleeping pills work on the fairies]

[dokkalfheimr]

I don't know. I avoid taking any because I don't know what it will do.

It's possible that Plumeria would have tried to take some if she wasn't feeling well, but I believe it unlikely for the same reason - I think after what happened with the sleeping pills, she might have been more likely to avoid the human medications altogether. But obviously I can't say for sure.
