The Concerned Citizen
In Service of the Great Taravast
Speaking Only Their Truth and Their Wisdom
Humbly Puts before the Piazza:

Lady Odile and hers were spotted whispering to few warning about the poison before it occurred.

Curious....

How did she come to know? How did she come to choose her saved?

What secrets does the Lady keep...

May All Good People Hear, May All Good People Know!
May Fortune Ever Favour Don Bonaccorso!

oh, for real? she thought it'd be fun and games to poison me? is that it? jesus christ i'm going to beat her into a bloody pulp even though i'm not quite as strong as usual

was she the one to do it? or did she just happen to know certain things?

does it matter? the result's the same. she could have said something. done something. inaction's still an action. still a choice.

maybe try words with her before trying to beat her first...? maybe she knows who did it.

okay.

but if words don't work off the bat

people talk if you hurt 'em enough.

if the rest of the glitzkrieg was here they'd probably have better ideas but it's just me and i'm not exactly the fuckin' brains of the operation. umbra'd probably be better at this. but she ain't here.

( haahaha because this whole thing isn't because she feels similarly. if Nikolai were here... )

well if everyone knows now, but someone here will have a good idea on how to proceed.

hopefully someone'll be able to come up with something better than my plan before i go there and get some answers on my own.

at least we have time until your strength is back?

hope it does. otherwise i'm off to an earlier grave than i'd like.

ugh, i can't believe i got poisoned. i just wanted some dessert.

yeah. someone knew what they were doing to poison the dish most people will generally eat.

is there something i can do to help you while we look for the cure?

i dunno. i gotta stay occupied while this happens or i'm gonna explode.

...this actually reminds me of a book i read once. someone put arsenic in sugar that people would put on their fruit, knowing the only person they didn't want to poison wouldn't take sugar.

if whoever it was wanted to poison everyone, why not poison the wine? why take the chance that people would refuse dessert?

maybe the one person they wanted to poison most they knew would eat the dessert. everyone else was just dessert-loving causalities.

maybe. obfuscating the real person they wanted dead by getting a bunch of other people.

but yeah. if you have anything i can do in the meantime before i lose my mind, that'd be cool of you.

i wish i did, but poison's not really my thing. i've been leaving it to the others. they seem to know better what to do. or how to use magic to fix it.

thanks for putting it up for everyone's notice. it's gonna cause a stir, at least, and not just among our group. maybe i'll keep an eye out on how people here react. see if anyone gets kinda shifty about it. be my sweet, peace-loving self and try to find things out.

you know, until i die :)

yeah, just... try not to let it get back to Odile i put it up. i don't need to openly make an enemy of her.

if you die, though, i'll beat Odile up in your honor?

I'm a lot of things, but I ain't a snitch. your secret's safe with me

hell yeah. that'd be very cool of you. hopefully it won't come to that but it would be much appreciated

i'd jsut feel bad if you missed your chance.

i don't think it'll come to it, though.

i got faith in us. our little ragtag band of weirdos has gone through worse. more direct, though, not quite this subtle stuff. but it looks like some of us are used to that. so who knows?

hey - when it's all over, we can wail on everyone responsible together. what do you think?

i don't have the strongest punch, but i can still help. sure.

ok, bet. i can probably teach you how to throw a stronger one. i didn't take all those years of tae kwon do for nothing.

We reward her so.

it's all a part of the game

To tatter a reputation.

We stood on higher ground than this.

We have been knelt.

it's the dangers of a place like this.

politics bring us all to our knees eventually.

As if we earned keep in flower houses.

none of this was our choice. just desperation.

We wed choice at each turn.

Recall her name, when she is dishonoured.

i recall all the names that have been left behind.

They are not yet screamed in your sleep.

you don't know my nightmares.

I know what you wake to.

Is it a secret?

It is a bit odd... but also consider this. If she did it, why warn us at all? If she didn't, how did he get the information? And who gave it to her?

I don't really know her, but isn't it possible she was tricked into telling us to make her look guilty by association? Lots of people don't like her here.

[ It will please Alina to know that there is an immediate reaction: all throughout Taravast, rumours start to spread of the lady Odile and her motives, with many questioning her reasons and disposition. She is accused, constantly, of doing whatever it takes to ingratiate herself with Macaluso, or of serving his enemies — why else give notice of the poison? How else could she have known? And why, if she were honest and true, did she not interrupt the banquet's progression and stop the poison from being distributed?

It all crests in a difficult choice that Lady Odile will announce shortly. ]
