Excellent. Once this is over, I shall inform the Great Prince Riot you will agree! [ Aw yeah, Rapture's going to be rolling in more than just dough. Though jewels are probably not very comfortable to roll in in the first place. ] Minx and I may be royalty as well, but first and foremost... we are bards! Writing a song for royalty would be our highest honor.

Story...? Oh, right! [ The story from last week when she was lazing about. ] Perhaps Bella was her past self, set to fall in love with a mysterious, handsome vampire and is now destined to find her star-crossed lover!

[godwhisperer]

[I'm unfamiliar with your teenage drama, but it sounds intriguing.]

Hoh? It is not a summoning chant for spirits?

[notyetlost]

[No, this face displeases Poland.]

You wanna be useless company tomorrow morning too?

[Granted Lithuania is a nation so a hangover is probably irrelevant-- but it's already glass four of crap wine that sucks and he's not eating anything.]

Exhibit G: Unlabeled Glass Bottles

[vytis]

[There are several unlabeled glass vials in this box. Most of them are full of unknown substances, but one is empty.]

[godwhisperer]

Yes. That is the purpose of most anthems, it is not? To appease the ancestors, so they will bring prosperity instead of ruin...

[humanic]

A pattern yeah, getting them both to drink on the same night not so much. Especially in Belarus's case - Altman would have been easier because he was drinking in public, but they would have had to see Belarus refill her flask to know she was dying that night. Unless they just unlocked her room and peeked inside hoping for the best.

[aozaki]

A real firecracker. Bright and enthusiastic, she's the energetic type of girl who'll do everything she can to get what she wants. Something of a short temper too, but she's straightforward and honest, not afraid to dive into things and take charge.

[aozaki]

Lithuania's doing another round of the kitchen, and I've searched the rest of the first floor with Spain yesterday already. I would suggest the basement; would you have anywhere else in mind to look, miss Felicia?

[humanic]

Do the four of you drink together often or run into each other at the bar a lot?

[inthebones]

The pot was previously described as sitting on the desk. That means the killer must have been... close to the ground when it was knocked over.

[says Susan, actually using her eidetic memory for once.]

There isn't any head trauma, but there was a very large bruise on Belarus's left arm. ...I forgot to include that as something worth thinking about.

[throe]

Well, the mood is set for that now, wouldn't you think? We can discuss to our heart's content.

[teenspirit]

No... but there are other patriotic songs that are!

[vytis]

I'm not that much of a lightweight. [Lithuania will relent and stop drinking, though.] ...Unfortunately, sometimes.

[Okay, though, Poland has a point. Getting totally drunk would not really be a good idea considering they have to continue the trial tomorrow.]

[throe]

The only ways of being able to tell would either be an informative slip of paper by the game runners or being familiar in the realm of poisons.

Gundam's only familiar with animals, so that would rule him out of the latter suggestion. Nobody else seems to have any knowledge like that listed on their cards.

[pandacea]

[sorry to disappoint Rapture but May is the poorest princess ever, she literally has no problems sleeping in slums]

I didn't know you were royalty as well! When I become Empress of Xing, I will be sure to pay you and Prince Riot back in kind! He sounds like a splendid man.

Truly a love story for the ages! Ah, I hope that I can find a love as everlasting as that one day!

[inthebones]

[Susan politely decides after all that she probably doesn't need to hear about Riot's life story as she continues on in this manner.]

In other words, choosing Riot would be entirely appropriate if he were real is what I gather. It might be possible that the incentive would be meaningful to you then.

[productions]

[It is a similar consistency.]

[pandacea]

She also said that you are the reincarnation of the Lady Bella in your story, and you have found your Prince Cullen at last! That's so beautiful!

[teenspirit]

Ah... a-ah...

The time you must have put into this... carefully building it for the hammies... Such tender dedication...

[obsideo]

Yeah, we can't be sure, so we definitely can't risk it.

[teenspirit]

[ Oh god ]

That... that might just be true!

[inthebones]

[Susan will stop her examinations, glance around the room to ensure Touko isn't paying attention, and then accost the people closest to her.]

Could you come over here and examine this, please? I'd like to be sure my observations aren't in error.

[obsideo]

Yeah...

Is there some other way someone could have poisoned Belarus? Maybe they knew she was running low. They could have just seen her drinking the last of it.

[aozaki]

...

I was done with True Magic since I left the Association, alternate universes and mirror dimensions fall under that. I can go on with my life, without getting to the bottom of what the rest of this universe is like. [almost a disgruntled sigh, not a fan of AUs here!]

[teenspirit]

[ Well, if you want someone with delicate sensibilities, a princess-and-the-pea type is probably what you need. ]

'Sup, bro?

[ Maybe that musical interlude has made her loopy. ]
