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. ]

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.

[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]

If it were going to kill me they'd obviously make it take effect before we left the Game Tower.

. . . we'll have pep!pep! on standby just in case.
