Designated Killer Meeting - Smoking Room, Sunday Night Week Four

[vytis]

[Even though there's one less member of the group meeting up tonight, the Producer doesn't seem bothered by it. Instead, he has an announcement to make.]

Alright, here's a special extra incentive for you this week: there are two special targets this week--Belarus and Yuzu Aihara. If you select one of them as a target, you'll receive either $1,000,000,000 or a magical item that grants wishes. Kill both and you'll receive some special help at the trial. Aside from that, you know how this works, right?

I can't believe you think money is enough...

But if Yuzu is one of the suspects... We didn't find the syringe. The one with ( potassium sodium whatever chloride ) the poison?

As far as I know, only three of us knew the clue. Have you told anyone, Mr. Producer? If not, and Yuzu is gone, who could say she didn't share this clue with someone else too? If it's still there then...

( And he'll share the clue he received back then, )

"Seek out the story of the one
Born after aging an aeon
Whose childhood in seas ceased to be
Married with mirth and misery
And died before ever reaching infancy."

...Doesn't that sort of riddle bring to mind a lustrous, beautiful pearl?

[pasodoble]

A pearl? ( Thinking about it, thinking about it... ) I can see that.

Then we should look for... a book about pearls?

( # Spain shows off how terrible he has at riddles. Again. )

[teenspirit]

I'm not sure. What here has a pearl attached to it?

[pasodoble]

I can't think of anywhere unless there are oysters in the pond.

... And it would have to be a big oyster.

[teenspirit]

Perhaps it's something like a book with 'pearl' in the title?

[pasodoble]

Or a character named Pearl?

( Is this that terrible moment when he refuses to admit he's familiar with American literature. )

[teenspirit]

There's one in The Scarlet Letter...

[pasodoble]

( Making a face. )

What an awful book but the clue did say it was miserable...

[teenspirit]

Yes, it's rather a depressing tale!

[pasodoble]

( Unlike Twilight right. )

I could go to check now. Unless that would be a problem? The sooner we find it, the better.

[teenspirit]

You should check as many books as you can while you're at it...

[pasodoble]

In the library? That's... a lot of books.

[teenspirit]

Ganbatte, Mr. Spain! I bet your president would do it! You hella get to work right now!

[souredsweet]

[it's okay Kaoru has no idea how to properly interpret these things either YOU ARE NOT ALONE, SPAIN.]

A story about funayurei, perhaps? The children who die playing at sea, rather than the sailors... [no...] I do not know how the last line would fit, though.

[pasodoble]

( The most clever killers. )

I thought it was about a goddess and checked the classical shelf in the library... There was nothing there. But I feel like "seek out the story" would mean it's a book or something?

[souredsweet]

[their efforts are commendable......]

I suppose it would be too conspicuous and take far too long to simply check every book there.

[pasodoble]

... We could.

[souredsweet]

Perhaps only one of us should look at a time to make it less conspicuous.

[HAHA]

[pasodoble]

That's still a lot for one person! We should take turns!

[souredsweet]

Then I will take a look after you. [except Kaoru will somehow be very difficult to find throughout the day how strange]

[pasodoble]

( Spain has no idea so he's just going to be grateful. )

Thank you.

[souredsweet]

You are quite welcome, Mr. Spain. I wish you luck with your search in the meantime. [HE'LL BE NEEDING IT.]

shows up 15mins late w/ starbucks etc etc

[aozaki]

Not fond of riddles, Spain?

[guess who's calmly sitting on a cigarette while the debate was going on, like always...]

[pasodoble]

Not at all.

( His head hurts. He needs a nap. )

[aozaki]

Potassium chloride. Do you know what it does, aside from being 'poison'?

[chuckling, she taps the butt of it against a makeshift ashtray.]

If you're feeling restless and annoyed, why not look 'riddle' up in the dictionary? Maybe the etymology of the word will be listed, and it'll give you a better taken.

[pasodoble]

I don't think that help. ( And it goes over over over his head. )

Yes. It kills. ( Thank you Captain Obvious. Or was that sarcasm right back at her. It's hard to tell, to be honest. ) Specifically, when injected, it stops the heart.

[aozaki]

Hm, not bad. [what do you mean he should know this as a nation but w/e, she shrugs with a small smirk.]

You wouldn't know until you try. Besides, it'll give your legs a good stretch. What do you have to lose?

[she's not making fun of him, honest.]
