POISON GAME: future is now

[idolpro]

[ The room is plain, white walls and white ceiling, except for the steel-panel flooring. There are three metal stands rising out of openings in the floor, each of which carries a glass vial on top. One of them just holds water. Of the remaining two, one contains a pale pink, opaque liquid with a creamy consistency; the next is tinged barely yellow like a weak tea, and would be almost completely transparent but for the pulp and fibers mixed in, drifting through it.

Both have flowers floated across the surface: the first a tiny sprinkling of cherry blossom petals; the second a small, but whole, bloomed lotus. They're cute and smell nice. ]

We're drinking poison A and sending the antidote to pep!pep!. Poison B will be removed from play.

[ Two of the stands descend into the floor, leaving the cherry blossom vial behind. The ground closes up behind them, and nothing else appears to take their place.

Poison effects are outlined here. ]

Well.

[I CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE THIS]

[just. . . watching her carefully. . .]

[ doesn't die or throw up a lot, amazingly ]

...

It wasn't even fatal!? I almost feel ripped off. I can't see though so I suppose that is still an effective deterrent. Are we done? I want to leave.

[hexsplosive]

[sighs]

I presume so, yes. Do you need a seeing-eye future is now?

[metafaliure]

I'm sure I can manage. Isn't it only a straight line into the elevator and then out of it? And by then maybe it will wear off.

[hexsplosive]

My, you're counting on the good graces of our charming host. . . but if you insist.

Is blindness really the only effect? All that drama for nothing, it seems.

[metafaliure]

Blindness is obvious. My eyes itch, and while normally they would be watering they feel very dry. I'm also very annoyed but I doubt that's a potion effect.

[hexsplosive]

Soooo, as long as you don't keel over within the next twenty-four hours, you're probably fine.

[metafaliure]

[ BLINKS but her eyes don't refocus ]

Well! Well. Well I have gone blind so that isn't great.

Re: RESULTS

[glaring]

A symptom? Only the first?

Re: RESULTS

[metafaliure]

Well, let's record it because I certainly have no idea what else it's going to do. I've never been poisoned before.

Re: RESULTS

[glaring]

Hmm... are you numb anywhere?

Re: RESULTS

[metafaliure]

No. My eyes itch and are too dry. But no numbness.

Re: RESULTS

[glaring]

This is troubling... I don't know if we'll be able to get another antidote at all, and we don't know how long it will last. I wonder if the effects will be lessened because you already drank an antidote...

[ DO YOU DIE DO YOU EXPLODE WHO DO I NEED TO THROW POINTS AT W-watching. ]

Re: RESULTS

[metafaliure]

[ seems FINE ]

Shogun, come over here.

Re: RESULTS

[scarvedforlife]

Eh? Is it a slow death? Do you want to pass away romantically in my arms?

[ COMING OVER THOUGH please don't explode. ]

Re: RESULTS

[metafaliure]

We're all dying slow deaths all the time! Just come here!

[ does not seem to have noticed that you actually did come over. ]

Re: RESULTS

[scarvedforlife]

... I'm right here.

[ Taps her shoulder. ]

Re: RESULTS

[metafaliure]

[ JUMPS AND PUNCHES

it paffs uselessly against your shoulder because she's tiny and weak ]

I can't see after that! Don't sneak up on me!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Also watching to see if you keel over or not]

[metafaliure]

[ she seems fine, just blind and angry ]
