ROLE - SCIENTIST

Greetings Scientist.

Are you ready to get to work? I certainly hope you are; everyone here is depending on you. After all, your role, your goal is to develop the cure for the raging infection. And if you're not ready to work or don't know where to start, both very understandable, there should be a notebook somewhere that will be of help to you.

Don't worry, you won't have to do this alone. You get to pick an assistant to help you! Maybe even one of those shady figures that go into hiding. Rumor has it that they'll either give you one (1) item to check someone if they are infected or not; it'll take the shape and form of whatever you want. Or, they'll help you create the cure once you know what to do. Isn't that handy?

Except, unfortunately, it's only one or the other. Bummer.

NOTES:
- This is NOT a secret role, however it would be beneficial if you did not make your role public.
- You may request help from one (1) other player and one (1) NPC of your choice. You cannot change your choice.
- If the item is chosen then you may check one (1) player at any point during the week, however, you MUST contact a mod before doing so. The number of players may change depending on outside circumstances.

[ Siffrin reads the note.

over and over.

(An infection? You think of the Vaugardians that have been frozen in time, who wished for you to kill the king. You think of all the loops that you have suffered through, because the Vaugardians forced their sloppily made wish on you.

Now, you realize, that you're here

     alone

             because they also want you to solve their problem for them?

Stars, you really are the cosmic joke of the Universe, aren't you? How many more wishes will you have to fulfill before yours can come true? Will it ever come true? Will you ever see your family members again? Or will you be forever stuck in this new play, with actors that you've never met?)

in his head, he can hear Loop's voice as if they were still in their head like always.

'Aw, stardust, are you missing your little family members so much that you don't want to do one simple task? You're so~ cute when you're pathetic, teehee.'

(Fine. You'll solve this. You'll solve this and kill the king and save Vaugarde...


         BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE!)

with a snarl of frustration, they take the paper and rip it to shreds. ]

[ …

(You think about the four you’ve talked to. Idly, you consider simply asking whoever made decision to choose someone else; that you won’t follow their script.

But really, Siffrin, what else good are you at if not that?)



Rosemary doesn’t feel reliable, while Foxglove felt too gentle. and the thought of Lobelia… well even just that is enough to make them nauseous.

therefore, there’s only one person left to choose from.

(Uou just hope that it annoys Sage almost as nearly as much as it annoys you.) ]

[ it’s late at night on Monday and Siffrin is… reading over the new pages over and over again.

obsession, aggression, depression, delusions, fever… wasn’t that how they were? but… that’s not them any more right? somehow, they got better. whatever was wrong with them got better, so they’re fine now. they’re more than capable of this, or else they wouldn’t have been chosen for it!

(but if not the puppets, then who chose him?)

under their hat, their new cat ears twitch, the tail swishing under their coat as they go back to the first page, trying to absorb as much information as possible. sorry Sage, they barely notice you’re there. ]

They can't go back to their room, because that would solidify the truth of McGillis' death and the impossibility of their situation. They can't reach out to anyone else, because they're not sure if there even is anyone that wants them around at this point.

So, once again, back in the library. There's nothing for Siffrin to look for here, other than trying to make himself as small and scarce as humanly possible. They're laying their head down on a table, silent. Maybe anyone that finds him will simply think he's part of the decoration.

Except Y'shtola isn't that dumb. She never has been. When she approaches Siffrin, they turn their head slightly, looking at her with their good eye. ]
