The three took her body away, and it doesn't seem like they can be contacted.

For now... I think we're expected to wait.

[infire]

What? But there has to be something... People don't just die out of the blue.

Has anyone else felt sick?

[oathic]

Not that I know of.

[...]

Brilith. You stayed in your room last night, right?

[infire]

[ ah. well, there goes that theory. ]

Yes. I've been staying there every night, but this was the first time it's locked.

[oathic]

What time did you fall asleep?

[infire]

I'm not sure... It was late, and we were talking...

[ that's such an odd question, though? she gives him a quizzical look. ]

Why would that matter?

[oathic]

[as always, he's never quite sure how much to tell brilith and how much to conceal. vigour isn't a concern here, but her mental state always is: both for her own sake, and because he's afraid that if too much pressure is applied, then...

...]

If that's the last thing you remember, check to see if any of your roommates remember you falling asleep before them.

[infire]

[ ...there's something he isn't telling her. it feels like there always is, but she'd had the faintest glimmer of hope that maybe, away from atera and the sura attacks, that might change.

but of course it wouldn't. agni has always treated her this way; why change now? ]

Do you really think it's that important?

[oathic]

... I don't think it was entirely natural.

[infire]

...Magic, then?

[ is there a spell that can force them to sleep?]

[oathic]

Hm... maybe.

Ah, that reminds me, while we're on the topic: anything feel weird since you woke up? Random knowledge in your head, or anything like that?

[infire]

[ well that throws her off ]

What? No, nothing.

[oathic]

[he crosses his arms.]

Huh...

[infire]

[ IS THAT REALLY ALL HE'S GOING TO SAY ]

But... you are?

[ what! does that mean! ]

[oathic]

I... know a lot more about animals now, for some reason...?

[infire]

[ blinks. ]

What kind of animals? All of them?

[oathic]

[he nods.]

Yup.

[infire]

What kind of things have you learned that way?

[oathic]

Habitats, diets, behavioural habits... stuff like that.

[infire]

[ well that's weird! ]

Do you think it could be a type of magic, too? Though I've never heard of one like that, but if they can bring us here without warning and seal our spells, then maybe...

[oathic]

In that case, the question is why?

[WHY WOULD SOMEONE GIVE HIM RANDOM ZOOLOGY EXPERTISE NOW]

[infire]

Maybe Master Blue thinks you'll need it? Although why they would is beyond me... The only one around here is Missile, but he's rather well taken care of already.

[oathic]

We'll see, I guess... Maybe I'll ask the others if the same thing happened to them.

[infire]

No one else I've spoken to has mentioned anything... but I guess I haven't had a reason to ask, either. I can start, if you think that would help.

[ please let her be useful. ]

[oathic]

Use your Priestess charm on them!
