TRUTH POTION MISHAP

[cherubic]

TRUTH POTION MISHAP

In order to locate the perpetrator behind the theft of London Holloway's notebook, Archimedes Rose immediately set to work creating a truth serum. Veritaserum is just out of his reach, but this alternative should do the trick.

Unfortunately the compounds in this recipe are unstable, and Archie's highly experimental approach blows up in his face. Literally. The truth serum bomb diffuser goes off in his hands as he works on it, and the first floor of the lodge is quickly overtaken by peppery gas.

HOW THIS WORKS

• Everyone on the first floor of the lodge this afternoon is potentially affected by a truth serum gas in the air.


• It's not as strong as Veritaserum, and some people may be able to resist it. This is to say that you can choose whether or not your character was affected.


• Because it's weak, it's not impossible to lie, at least not for everyone. However, it's difficult to resist spilling your guts if you get a good whiff of it.


• The effects last a couple hours.


• It will make the characters say what they think/feel is the truth.


• This will extend onto the journals as well.


• Archimedes will be getting detention. Again.


• He's kind of sorry about this one.

INFECTED

[cherubic]

Danny & Rosy

[graysanatomyforkids]

There are several specific reasons for Danny to want to talk to Rosy, but when he spots her between classes, none of them consolidate into a concrete thought. Something something prom date, or hey how about that making out we did while drunk, maybe. Eh, it doesn't really matter. Why prepare a civil conversation topic when you can just be a shithead.

He makes a bee line for her and tries to tug obnoxiously on her arm. "Hey, Stoker, looking for m--" He starts, and then is cut off by an explosion of magical gas. He moves, too late, to cover his mouth with his hand. "Oh fuck me."

The Trashcan Trio (Nisha, Dinah, Chadeline)

[dinahdanger]

Giant Adult has several very important things on Giant Adult's plate today. First, they need to avenge the heinous act perpetrated against one of their own. Whether or not it was the same culprit who made that poster about Dinah yesterday, they would correct anyone who thought messing with a sophomore was easy or funny or justified. Next, attempt number 78b to get back into the sauna. There's some glue pranks they never got a chance to execute before Gramps found them, being, like, blazed on laughing gas in there.

Then, like, dinner, probably.

Stomping and wobbling through the atrium, Giant Adult's legs step over some freshman that could have been easily just walked around. "HEY, we haven't Giant Adulted with a SKATEBOARD yet," Dinah shouts up at her upper half. "Where's CHADLICK, we need something to JUMP."

She barely even notices the gas that's started filling the room. This is just a thing that happens at this school, you guys.

Calvin & Micah

[evercreep]

Calvin doesn't bother greeting Micah as he storms up to him, grabbing his arm and dragging him away from the coughing crowds. "Don't say a word," he commands with a straight face that's far too tense to actually convey calm. "Somethin's gone terribly wrong."

Grace and Open

[asparrow]

It's not until Spencer lets Grace know what's going that she starts to slightly panic. She doesn't have any deep dark secrets that she knows of, but she does really wanna makeout with Jonah and she's afraid if she opens her mouth the whole school might hear about it, so she sits quietly with her mouth burried into her hands and hopes she can make it out alive.

Archie & Nisha - A Bit Later

[godzillabutworse]

Stuffing your face as a method of keeping your mouth shut is only effective so long as you have food handy. Nisha's on her last donut, still in the grips of involuntary truthiness, when she finds Archie. She sits down beside him, and, exhausted, rests her head on his shoulder. "How much trouble d'ja get in?"

Fern & Open

[nothalfplaid]

Fern peeks her head around the bathroom door and down the hall. Veritaserum, or whatever this is, only has a faint, not unpleasantly peppery smell, but she still wrinkles her nose like there's a foul stench in the air. If she can escape the lodge without seeing or speaking to anyone, she can run all the way back to Coppertale camp and hide in her cabin until this is over. The lingering gas makes it hard to see too far down the hall, but the path looks clear, so she bolts.

London & Open

[beansontoast]

London should have known better. After all, she had known this was coming. Of course, what's the point of a truth bomb if there's no one willing to wade into the fray to push the investigation forward. "DID YOU RUIN MY STUFF AND TAKE MY SCRAPBOOK?" she shouts at every person who dares to cross her path.

Spira

[bitterlysweet]

Spencer hits Ira like a ton of bricks, once again confusing horseplay with flirtation. Honesty's weird. There are things people could ask him that'd get weird, but most people won't. Maybe not everyone likes him, but no one wants to fuck him over.

So the first thing Spencer does after their brief journal exchange is track Ira down. He's high on life, and Ira's adoration. "You like me," he declares, sing-song. "Are you super embarrassed or what?"

Lucas & Bash

[bubblewrapped]

There's always something going on in the lodge. It's never quiet here. If it's not a giant adult yelling, then it's freshmen locking someone somewhere to do a heist, or one of the senior prefects inching ever closer to an inevitable nervous breakdown (gosh, Lucas hopes he never has to deal with that), or an impromptu Azurcrest funeral.

So, engrossed in a pulp cyberpunk novel, Lucas does not look up from his book. Nor does he move from his spot, tucked tightly into the corner of one of the atrium couches. He turns a page in his paperback and, only after the noise rises to a din, asks, "Is the world ending, hon, or did we just find out what flavor pudding is for lunch?"

Ruby & Madison

[patineuse]

It takes some time for Ruby to realize exactly what's wrong, because not speaking exactly what's on her mind all the time isn't a problem she has; but once she does, there's only one person she's worried about. (Spencer can handle himself.)

It's not difficult to find Madison. Ruby knows all her best haunts, from months of seeking the most efficient way to get attention from her at any given moment. "Hey, honey." Ruby grabs Madison's hand. "You'll want to get out of here."
