Mock Week

[sinphony]

[ After the day before, with the reveal of the full extent of the rules and how the game works along with their hosts, the only thing everyone could do was have a meeting with alcohol and go to bed. And when awakened, everything is the same. It's still the large mansion, they're still locked inside, and there's still the idea that they have the choice to murder each other hanging over them. But now the mansion is free to explore to their hearts' content, save for the room under the stairs outside the mud room. All anyone can really do is just enjoy their week and hope for the best. ]

...I guess he doesn't have to be the one to try it. If it's someone bigger, they might be less affected if it really is poison.

[pervet]

... That's not how poison works.

[ He is about to school you. ]

Whether or not it might be lethal depends on a lot of factors: weight, age, size, sure, yes, but it's only a minimalistic factor. Even a small fraction of some poisons can be enough to kill someone large. It doesn't have to always be a large volume. Plus, adding in the fact it's a capsule, the medication, or potential poison, may have been a pretty large potency if it's concentrated into powder.

It really depends on the substance. An apple seed won't kill you if you eat a few, but if you extract cyanide from them? You'll be dead real fast, and with a small amount to boot.

[voltrounds]

[...well. Ricky has been thoroughly schooled.]

...you know a lot about this. Do you have to deal with poison a lot?

[pervet]

I'm a healer. That knowledge is really important. But yeah, I've dealt with poison. Cyanide, specifically. We have a lot of apples in my homeworld, so it's readily accessible. And some demons are just naturally poisonous.

[voltrounds]

Oh, that makes sense.

[Wait.]

...do people eat demons?

[pervet]

... I don't know. I can't say I've seen that happen too often, but I've definitely seen demons eat angels. And even other demons.

[ ... So, you know. ]

[voltrounds]

So demons get poisoned from eating other demons that are poisonous.

...I guess they're getting what they deserve?

[pervet]

... Actually, I don't know if THAT'S ever happened. Cranber is kind of... incapable of getting hurt by stuff like that. Her stomach is hideous.

[ He has no idea what you even say about her. ]

[voltrounds]

Oh.

[Fortunately, Ricky has no idea what she could ask about that, so it balances out.]

...this has gone in a really weird direction.

[pervet]

... It tends to. I hate talking about her.

[ Scrubbing his face a bit. ]

Anyway, my point is, you shouldn't just have someone take the Mystery Pill at random, they might die. And then we'd have to convict whomever convinced them to do it of murder or something, probably.

[voltrounds]

...yeah, good point.

[And to think, she really thought she was on to something.]

Actually, do we know we can trust the pills in the infirmary?

[pervet]

Pretty damn sure we can, yeah. They're not too dissimilar from the stuff I use back home, at least, when magic isn't enough. I could take one or two if you're all really worried about it, though. One of the supposedly less harmful ones.
