[ tea time!! even tho there was just a murder there ]
So... First question. Are you able to explain what the venom might look like on the victim? Or will that be a surprise for me as much as everyone else.
[sylvain appears in the courtyard, and aquarius is already there to settle with their tea. the question doesn't surprise them. they almost seem to appreciate the promptness of it.]
Depends. Are you actually interested in obtaining it for sure, or are you shopping around? I don't know if it'd do any good to give away secrets to someone who might not need to know them.
[ he'd like to get things sorted out as soon as possible, definitely ]
Yeah, which is why I'd like to know what to expect. If you can't answer that right away, I'd like to ask another—for these 'services', do we get to determine when they go into effect?
Guess what I'm asking, is, if I try to seal the deal now, I won't have to run back to you later for it.
[they lean back in their seat to examine him a little more closely.]
Got it. You'd have to do a task to earn it. Once the task is complete, you come back to me, I give you the power. Once the power is yours, you put it into effect whenever you want.
...leaves a purpleish lipstick mark. Should probably be aware of that.
Be kind of a useless power if evidence was still on you, wouldn't it? [shrug. but they ponder...]
You seem personable enough. So how about this one? Find two people that you think should talk to each other more often. Introduce them to each other, or get them together, and tell them why you think they'd be a good match.
Fairly quickly. Kisses are fleeting, you know? You might have like, I dunno, ten minutes or so in between when you do it and when it kicks in but you can distract somebody for that long can't you?
[he can because they aren't expecting it, which means there's a slightly startled noise while it happens. i hate to say this, but their hands are cold even through gloves.]
Yeah, yeah. I'll see you when you're done and we'll seal the deal.
[ he'll go to meet them there... and fork over his key. and not think about all the dick pics he found on their computer. (or the many other things in their room!) ]
...Ah. Lemme guess, you're gonna light up one of the stars?
they sort of show up out of nowhere, seemingly, and they take the key. after a few moments, one of the stars at the bottom lights up and remains lit.
they hand it back to sylvain and slip their hands back into their pockets.]
Gonna light up one of the stars, yeah. It's all yours.
[thank you for the venom is now his! with this power, he will be able to apply poison with his mouth to someone's skin. sylvain will know that it works fairly quickly (10ish minutes) and will leave behind a purple lipstain on the target.]
[ he gives the keyring a little spin and snaps it up in his palm. and while he's extra curious about aquarius now... he decides not to linger for too long. ]
in a manner of speaking. the point of the trials is to figure out what happened before the trial started, not get mixed up with powers being used during it.
youre right about gemini's power. i can say that much since it's pretty obvious just from what it does. you'd have to ask the other staff members about theirs.
...
also, i just fucking realized. speaking of room service.
if you wanted to make a deal with me, you could use my jerky power to heal dimitri whether weve used all our healing slots on people who came back on thursdays or not. it would only work once though.

Fair?

All right. How about the butterfly garden.

[oops. they hit send too fast. a follow-up message comes a minute or so later.]
Thank you for passng on her message.
Passing.

Don't have too much fun without her.
no subject
I won't.
week 4, saturday
Thank you for passing the message on, Mr. Gautier.
That was very kind of you.
no subject
Sylvain's fine. No need to thank me.
no subject
I suppose.
Were you close with her at all?
no subject
Not as close as others here, but she's always been kind to me.
To everyone, as far as I can tell.
[ ... ]
Do you know anything about the bodies in the cemetery?
[ which is presumably about to get more additions!!! ]
no subject
She has been kind to many.
Still, she was guilty, so you all found a killer.
There is that, I suppose.
Are you referring to the state they were found in?
I know approximately as much as you all do. Why do you ask?
no subject
Just wondering if we need to start keeping closer watch over our friends' graves.

The hotel has strange whims, though - I wouldn't put too much stock into it, either way.
