[After using the poison detection kit, Stiles will return with his results and address the group.]

Okay, so I tested Beat's blood for poison since we've been tossing around that idea and evidently someone drank something from the communion cup. Why the hell he'd do that, I have no idea, but we can get to that later. The point is that the liquid I tested should have either turned black in the presence of poison or remained the same if not.

[He holds up a vial of dark blue liquid.]

I can definitely say that is not the same color as Beat's blood. It's not black, so maybe he wasn't poisoned, but I think it's safe to say he was definitely dosed with something.

[godwhisperer]

[Whoa, the conductor of the train to brood town over here in the corner is taking an interest in this, unlike how he's been acting the rest of the morning.]

...

In the chalice?

[humanic]

[He nods.]

This is from testing his blood, but there's wine stains in the chalice. I'm pretty sure it's usually empty, so it's possible someone filled it with...whatever the hell this stuff is and he drank it. Still have no freaking clue why he'd do something like that, but I'm betting if that's what happened, one of the side-effects is turning you into someone who'd try to kill a kid.

[godwhisperer]

...

A poison to transform your very being, to inspire bloodlust...quite a thing. A mere hallucinogen could perhaps prompt such a reaction, but there would be no guarantee.

[humanic]

There's also the question of why our killer used this poison. If they could have manipulated Beat somehow where he'd drink something they dosed, why not just use regular poison? I bet there has to be something fast-acting in the poisons they hand out for targeting a deadweight, like cyanide.

[godwhisperer]

Hmm...

[And then he smiles, and laughs a little as well.]

Ahaha.

What better a way to ensure one is not the target then to have another commit the deed? It was always their intention to have May Chang or Beat kill one another.

[humanic]

...we're looking for a real monster here, aren't we? What the hell kind of asshole tries to set up a ten-year old for murder or death?

[godwhisperer]

A true villain indeed. It seems my beliefs have been proven wrong-headed.

But there is someone who will pay for this. And I believe it is likely to be that very someone who sent May Chang to the chapel.

[pandacea]

[May cuts in here, looking horrified.]

Miss Kaoru wouldn't--she would never do such a thing! I went to the chapel on my own!

[godwhisperer]

Then how did you know of whom I was speaking?

[notyetlost]

Was Beat religious?

[humanic]

Uh...he was Japanese and half-dead, so I don't think so? Not Christian anyway, at least I've never heard him mention it.

[notyetlost]

I guess that rules out getting the Eucharist then.

[You can't even safely drink out of holy cups now. This house is terrible.]

[vytis]

So--something that wasn't poison, but was something. [That's not vague at all.]

[humanic]

Yeah, I've got no clue either. But it doesn't look like they used the poison from the list of tools.

[vytis]

That would have probably made it turn black, if it was... [Or Lithuania hopes so, at least.] We just need to figure out what was used instead, then. Do we even have any drugs or poisons in the house anymore that could do something like that?

[They tend to dump those out as soon as possible.]

[humanic]

No idea, I'm not a chemist. The only thing I've heard of that might turn you violent are drugs like PCP, but I can't imagine that being easily found in the house.

[notyetlost]

Hey... Don't you have pills for something?

[humanic]

Ritalin? Yeah, it's for my ADHD. It doesn't turn you crazy, if that's what you're wondering, it just stops me from constantly blabbering about irrelevant stuff and being too hyperactive to focus. [Pause.] Well, it helps.

[notyetlost]

[Poland likes you all unfocused and hyperactive just the same Stiles.] So it doesn't have any weird side effects at all?

[humanic]

High blood pressure and loss of appetite, but nothing that turns you into a psychopath. Plus I count my pills - I would have known if someone tried to take any.

[notyetlost]

So like it wouldn't be bad enough to make his eyes all blood shot then? [Stiles is the go to person for anatomy questions. Granted probably mostly lower anatomy, but still.]

And there's none missing?

[humanic]

[THANKS POLAND...]

Not as red as they are now. And I would have mentioned it if there was. Not just mentioned, I would have dumped the whole thing into the sink and panicked about it to everyone the second I noticed and you'd all have to deal with me reciting everything I've read in the house backwards during the trial.

[allice]

Could it have been a chemical in the study? We don't know for sure what's there - someone could have taken something and put it into the drink. It might not have killed Beat, but it could have disorientated him.

[throe]

Maybe it was a curse.
