Fourth.

[trustfellows]

As the fourth week comes to a close and Friday morning dawns like the rest of the week before it, with the chiming of the clock and the doors to the kitchen unlocking, it seems, for a brief moment, that everything will be normal. For a given degee of "normal", anyway – perhaps some are on edge because there's a definite pattern that's been happening here, but for a few blissful moments, everything seems quiet. It doesn't last long; eventually, Jericho's voice can be heard over the public-address system. He doesn't sound as excitable as usual, though perhaps that can be explained away with the content of his message: "Hey. Just so you know, we've kind of got a problem this morning. Nothing catastrophic or anything, but you might want to get into the foyer so you know what's going on. We'll be waiting." You might want to go.

[Anyone wanna join Hibiki for a round of infirmary quest? She'll pop down here after the restroom. Maybe this place has antacids?]

[trustfellows]

[There are! You're welcome to go through the cabinets to find them if you'd like, there doesn't seem to be anything out of place when you first enter the room, anyway.]

[brandnewday]

[Well, not that she expects anything to be out of the way...she's just here to get away from it all. An ideal vacation: the infirmary.

But yes! She's familiar with the cabinets after dealing with the painkillers last week. She'll look there first.]

[trustfellows]

[It doesn't look like anything's missing from here, actually, but there is something weird about the sleeping pills. It looks like the pill bottles have been rearranged.]

[brandnewday]

[This is exactly the kind of thing Rin told her to look for. ...She thinks? So, what are we looking at? Are the sleeping pills moved closer to the front? Is it still full of sleeping pills?]

[trustfellows]

[It just looks like they've been moved a bit. It's a smart idea to check the contents of the bottle though, because it looks like some pills are missing. It's not the whole bottle or even half, but there's definitely some pills missing.]

[brandnewday]

[Yeah, Rin would be totally proud of her. 'Look for stuff that might have been overlooked.' She'll be taking this bottle with her, thanks. Probably not for tonight.]

[trustfellows]

[There's one last thing to note about the pills, since it'll probably come up: they're barbiturates! Now you're free to go!]

[brandnewday]

[Oh neat! She'll definitely look it up in the library since she's doing that whole 'try not to cause a shitstorm during a trial' thing these days. If not, there's always Susan.]

[notaccurate]

[Luca's search hasn't turned up anything yet, so!]

Did you find sonething?

[brandnewday]

Mm...someone's been messin' with the pills again.

[She's not sure if it's trial related? It might be a safe bet?]

I just wanted an antacid. Do you ever stop and wonder how it is exactly you're able to walk? 'Cause I sure as heck don't know I'm standin' right now.

[notaccurate]

Perseverance, mostly.

[But at least she can get some antacids?]

Hang onto that for the trial, alright?

[brandnewday]

Valentino-san...you sound kind of cool.

[She's not sure what he means exactly, but it's a nice answer. He seems nice?]

Mm. Let's do our best for Tabby.
