SAPPHIRE

[The room is circular and surrounded by a series of ionic columns, the floor and ceiling stretching overhead fashioned out of cracked, white stone. The area beyond the columns is pitch black, and the room itself is lit only by dimly flickering candles. The candles rest on top of a stone table, which sits in the middle of the room.

And next to the candles rest four numbered boxes]

Two

[Inside the box is a small vial filled with purple liquid. Upon picking it up, you instinctively know that whoever drinks this will be poisoned with the side effects of fever, violent coughing and shivering]

Drink this, or pass it to another team to move on.

[picking it up]

...That all?

[since you have it, just looking at it]

What is it?

[also checking it out :|a]

I'm guessing it's not hope.

Doesn't sound like it.

[scowling]

...I guess, it's not that bad.

It ... could be worse ...

[unsure]

If it's a fever, whoever takes it would be out of it until the end of the game. Even medicine doesn't make a fever go away immediately.

Better a fever than anything worse -- do you have anything for it?

For fevers? Yes. It will knock you out, though.

[considering ...]

If someone takes it, then, it should probably be reserved for the time being.

Having a fever in the middle of a game isn't exactly ideal either, though.

[nods]

Then ideally, the ones to take it should be Red or myself, so we can keep you and Nessa in reserve.

So then which one of you wants to nap more?

I'm not interested in sleeping through a game like this. I'd be willing to take it, but only without medicine.

[...maybe I should keep my hand on it.]

It's a fever, with coughing and shivering.

A fever ... ? [8|a]

I think we've got stuff for that ...

I would rather we not pass this on to anyone else, then.

Check with Apple and see what she has, then.

...Very well.

Does this mean you want to take it?

[eyeing the bottle...]

I'd rather hold myself in reserve in case we're expected to stab ourselves. My healing will be of use then, if she allows it. I don't want to be asleep for that.

Edited 2012-11-17 21:44 (UTC)

Stab ourselves ... that's definitely worse than a cold. Give it to me, then.
