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.

We found it in... it looked like it was was a classroom? But it didn't really have any students. I think they were using it as a...

[ Uh, ]

Place where you put dead people?

A morgue.

[ But... ]

I suppose that isn't a surprise after all, given the room's purpose. Did you want to examine his blood?
siriuspuns: (16.)

[personal profile] siriuspuns 2025-11-14 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ (Morgue! You should remember this.) ]

I thought that maybe it would be a good start?

[ But there's one small problem, ]

I don't really know how to do that, though.
avocations: (12)

[personal profile] avocations 2025-11-14 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
I have a few ideas.

[ Is she going to elaborate on them?

No!

Not right this moment, at least. ]


I would like to more deeply examine the aether of it. Would you tell me of its other properties? Visual is fine enough for now.
siriuspuns: (6.)

[personal profile] siriuspuns 2025-11-14 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
Do you have problems with your sight?

[ Not that it matters. She's far better than he is at her craft, and clearly more put together than them as well.

They look at the vial, lifting it to the light. ]


Well, first of all, it smells like blood. It's... a dark shade? Not lightless, a few shades lighter... the shade of blood, basically. [ They lift it up to the light, swirling it around. ] It's kind of see through? Not entirely, though, but light does go through it. And it looks kind of fresh... so that's why I said it was Beryl's.

[ Unless someone else is getting their blood drawn?? The fuck!? ]

[ She listens to their observations, pulling a notebook out of her dress somewhere (maybe it has pockets who can say), and clicking a pen as she begins to write down what they say. ]

I see differently than you do.

[ That's all she'll offer for now, unless he asks more about it. ]

So you do not know for certain that it is Beryl's.

......................................

[ uh. ]

I guess we... kind of assumed? I mean, who else would it be?
avocations: (12)

[personal profile] avocations 2025-11-15 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
As it was obtained in the morgue, who can say... Though the probability that it is indeed his is higher.

[ Spooky........... but she's kidding. Probably. ]

What would you like for me to do with this? I could certainly have it tested, though I guarantee no results. We must start somewhere, however.
siriuspuns: (36.)

[personal profile] siriuspuns 2025-11-15 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
I think we should test it. Even if the notes said that Beryl's transformation didn't seem to be relevant, we don't really have anywhere else to start.

[ ... ]

Does this mean that getting the cure would be easier if we could get the blood of someone infected?
avocations: (08)

[personal profile] avocations 2025-11-15 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I do believe so. We need a base for this cure, and blood of the infected could start us off well.

[ Hmm. She thinks. ]

I agree with you on Beryl’s blood. Though his transformation is all too likely not relevant to infection, having a sample of blood without it present will be useful to compare against.
siriuspuns: (22.)

[personal profile] siriuspuns 2025-11-15 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ Easier said than done. ]

There's no quick way of getting their blood, though. What am I gonna do? Ambush them?
avocations: (12)

[personal profile] avocations 2025-11-15 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
I have half a mind to suggest it, but this group is quick to distrust and I would rather not place such a burden on you…

[ She crosses her arms. ]

We find a solution and quickly run into another issue. I suppose this cure truly will be something we must work towards.

[ Exciting. ]

[ POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK? ]

Hm…

[ Siffrin crosses their arms, tail swishing in interest as he thinks. When the idea does come to him, though, he doesn’t look happy about it. ]

I guess… if something like with Giyuu and Beryl does happen again… it’d probably be easier to find the infected person that way. And if we lock them then… I can…

[ “Take their blood”, they don’t say. Again, it’s a matter of being given the permission to do it, or using force to take it. But are they capable of such things on another human being? ]
avocations: (09)

[personal profile] avocations 2025-11-15 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
Then you may attempt to draw their blood. I suppose if we could glean a single positive out of another death, it would be for a solution to the very issue…

[ The only good thing about it, really. ]

Would you ask their permission?
siriuspuns: (56.)

[personal profile] siriuspuns 2025-11-15 11:43 am (UTC)(link)
Of course!?

[ Is that wrong??? But isn’t that the correct thing to do? ]

I- I mean, I’m not a doctor, I’m just a traveler, I guess, but that’s what the doctors do?! I think?!

One worth anything would.

[ But she smiles a little bit. ]

Bring whatever samples you manage to collect to me and I will gladly work on them. And... should you hesitate to acquire some, I will do what I am able on my end to procure it.
