Once you enter the door, you find yourself passing through, uh -



This front yard? It seems you've found yourself in some sort of dolphin mansion.

What are these... drinks...?

I'm not entirely sure if I trust them.

[ inspect beverage ]

Re: BAR

[idolpro]

The green smells like mint and grass.

Minty grass.

Re: BAR

[worthathousand]

There was a brilliant turquoise liquid in the bathtub, back there, with the smell of something delicious, to the point that I struggled to turn away—though the very fact that it was so tempting made me suspect its danger.

...That is to say: no, I definitely don't trust any food or drink here.

Re: BAR

[proceedwithcautus]

...it doesn't really... seem enticing, at least.

[ actually

weird thought

what happens if she puts a pear in one of the mugs. ]

Re: BAR

[idolpro]

The pear begins to sizzle.

It dissolves into the green, which begins to glow slightly and now smells like minty grass pears.

Re: BAR

[proceedwithcautus]

...well, it's—light, now?

Re: BAR

[worthathousand]

....Do you think that's enough?

[ pause. takes a different mug, and summons a pocket knife to cut off a corner of the soap, which she drops in. ]

Re: BAR

[proceedwithcautus]

I have no idea, but it's... something, at least? Perhaps we should put a pear in each one?

Re: BAR

[idolpro]

The soap begins to sizzle.

It dissolves into the green, which turns into soap.

Re: BAR

[worthathousand]

[ watching this, frowning slightly. she does not have the dots in crafts (water) OR occult for this. ]

Well, apparently that wasn't enough to make it change colors. The pear did better, at least if it's light we want.

Re: BAR

[constellationprize]

[ conveniently, at this very moment dia seems to be catching up, eyeing the paper, then the mugs ]

Hm?

Re: BAR

[proceedwithcautus]

Ah! Miss Aradia—if you put a pear in one of these mugs, it glows!

Re: BAR

[worthathousand]

[ —adding to that: ]

We're wondering if it might be significant, since we found a second note, written in the same hand as the first—and this one emphasizes "the light of a good time" the same way the other did with "pears."

Re: BAR

[constellationprize]

[ reaching for her bag, still brushing off some vague nonexistent something-something - ]

Then, the pears end up producing light?

Has someone collected samples...?

[ of what's in the mugs, she seems to mean. digging around in her bag for a container to hold out to amaranth - and grabbing another one, this one filled with turquoise ]

Re: BAR

[worthathousand]

Oh! You brought bottles. That was clever.

[ She eyes the TURQUOISE cautiously, but doesn't comment, because she is a Considerate Mother-in-Law Who Respects Boundaries. ]

Re: BAR

[constellationprize]

[ her mouth twitches a bit. ]

Oh, I'm not really as clever as anyone else here or anything like that, am I?

[ pouring a little bit of the turquoise into a mug, waiting ]

Re: BAR

[idolpro]

You have created Cyan, which strangely doesn't smell like anything.

Re: BAR

[proceedwithcautus]

...oh, it's pretty...

[ things seem weirdly tense, though? ]

Re: BAR

[worthathousand]

Look at that!

[ pause. uncomfortable. ]

It... truly does seem quite clever to me. And it's some kind of progress, too. I wonder if bits of pear would make all of them glow...?

Re: BAR

[constellationprize]

... ?

[ looks at the green ones ...

looks at this one ]

Then, there should be ...

If it's making "light," then there should be other colors too, shouldn't there...? Here there is green, and this blue...

Re: BAR

[proceedwithcautus]

Oh—could we make red, then? I don't know what would be required for that, though.

Re: BAR

[worthathousand]

Are the colors connected to light somehow?

[ this is an area beyond her Lore score. ]

But at this rate, I would guess that other colors might be found in other rooms—perhaps upstairs.

Re: BAR

[constellationprize]

Mother-in-Law, are you familiar with rainbows?

Re: BAR

[constellationprize]

Red is a primary color - ... like Mother-in-Law said, there could be something red upstairs, couldn't there?

Re: BAR

[proceedwithcautus]

Well, in that case... I'm going to take this mug with me, then.

I suppose we could try upstairs?
