Day 59: Sun Room (4th Shift)

[contentincloset.livejournal.com]

After an intercom broadcast like that, Kurogane felt somewhat better about the little information he'd gotten from Harrington the previous night. The man only sounded competent when he needed to but was an idiot otherwise. Unfortunately that was furthered proof of the General not employing the brightest of staff members, making another option for information closed to them.

Kurogane was again some steps ahead of his escort when he reached the Sun Room and ignored the soldier further as the ninja headed to look over the bulletin. Last time he'd missed something, and he wasn't about to have that happen a second time. With some searching he located Tsubaki's messages to others he didn't know but found nothing either written by the magician or addressed to him. That being the case, he left the board without any of his own writing and sought out a chair over a couch. If he didn't leave open a space by him, he had a better chance of being left alone. Or so he believed.

The drug trials. Tolten didn't seem to have turned into a monster; it resembled more what Rose had gone through. What a thing to produce with pills. On the other hand, other kinds of pills seemed to result in much the same effect, without the specificity. That Tolten seemed to only suffer a single effect seemed the goal. What Threepwood had gone through seemed a different matter entirely. He'd taken drugs from a different group, perhaps?

"Phantom maladies? They sound terrible." Psychosomatic illness? Though, that did seem to be the goal of that group of drugs. And for the effects to last this long.... No, Tolten had said—

"I'm Maya," she responded. "Did you say the drug trials were last night?"

"Ah, the forced ones were," Tolten clarified. "I understand there was an optional...something of the sort the night before that." But he had only heard bits and pieces about that, really. "They were waiting at dinner and they...injected us with something. Apparently we all suffered a variety of consequences."

His just happened to be hearing this lovely woman oh-so-sweetly promise to eviscerate him come nightfall. Nothing horrible, really.

"It's...disorienting, to say the least. I've had...enemies in battle use illusions and phantom sounds or whatnot to distract, but nothing that lasts an entire day!" He frowned and removed his beret for a moment to run his hand through his hair. He was aware again of the pin he had been given earlier, his thumb tracing over it as he replaced the hat.

"Others who suffered through it have informed me it will be gone after dinner."
