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 could use a knife, yes, though I imagine the infirmary has better tools on offer. If only I could develop a spell to more easily gather it.
no subject
The infirmary it is!
[ And just to change the topic completely so she doesn't get ideas... ]
So you guys are all working together on this, aren't you? Do you like your team?
no subject
But fine, she'll get up and start heading towards the infirmary. ]
We are. I suppose I do, though there is one team that truly has my heart.
no subject
(You think of your family members, and your heart aches.) ]
Are they... a team that you had back home?
no subject
[ She smiles, and it's clear that she's fond of them by the way her voice softens into something much less stern. ]
Though many of our members remain on our star.
[ She misses them terribly, those fools. ]
no subject
[ Oh. So that's why Thancred said... ]
So they're your teammates... how did you meet them?
no subject
When he passed and was no longer able to lead us, we created the Scions.
no subject
[ cracking a smile, Siffrin can’t help but think of their own family members. Odile, Mira, Isa, Bonnie…
Oh, how they miss them. ]
no subject
[ People she also feels close to, Meteor among them in particular. ]
Have you some familiarity with allies yourself?
no subject
[ Allies at first, turned to friends, turned to family.
They're all they have. ]
They were going to save the country from the King, and I ended up joining them. I'm a traveler, so it's not like I had anything else to do... but we grew close.
no subject
[ She smiles softly. ]
Tell me of them.
[ They're heading to the infirmary anyway, so they may as well tell her about them. ]
no subject
Mirabelle, the Housemaiden... she was the one that was chosen to stop the King.
[ But she wasn't really chosen, wasn't she? It was just a series of lucky events. Didn't the Head Housemaiden choose her basically on pure luck? ]
Odile, the Researcher... she's from another country, but she joined because she was around for her research.
[ Which isn't really research at all, is it? She's just looking for something to connect to, much like themselves. But unlike Siffrin, she might be able to succeed to some degree. ]
Isabeau, the Defender. He's-- [ So much. The most unfortunate target of Siffrin's manipulations and deceptions, and one of the most dear to Siffrin. Just thinking about him makes them feel disgusted with themselves. ] He's a... friend. He's strong and smart, and designs his own clothes.
And then Bonnie, the Kid... they... [ --are someone so dear to Siffrin that they would take drastic measures for their ensured safety. And yet he failed them too, no? ] they joined us after their sister was frozen in time. They're good at cooking, and they like...
[ What...was it, again? ]
Pineapples.
[ (That's cheating. You only remember that because you're allergic to them. Are you so cold hearted that you'd forget your own family members?)
Their chest hurts. ]
no subject
And don't think she doesn't notice that pause before the word "friend", Siffrin. Be glad she's kind enough not to point it out. ]
Quite the varied group you have. Reminds me of my own, in some manner, though most of us are scholars.
[ It's... pretty much just the Warrior of Light and Estinien who aren't, actually. ]
no subject
[ Siffrin chuckles, focusing on that rather than the grief that creeps in their heart over all the time they’ve spent away from their family.
What if they forget them, too? ]
Tell me a little bit about them? It’s only fair.
no subject
[ She smiles, fondness resting at the corners of it. ]
We have a pair of twins, Alisaie and Alphinaud. They're precocious and willing to give their all for their beliefs. Estinien is a mysterious man who does as he pleases. Thancred is a difficult man that has seen more than he'd ever let on, and Urianger possesses a heart that seeks the best future for all.
[ Their numbers have certainly grown, so... ]
Krile is an intelligent young woman that has aided us more than she believes, and G'raha Tia is a man with a renewed zeal for adventure.
At our center is the Warrior of Light himself, Meteor. His vast accomplishments would lead any historian to wonder if the stories told of him hold any merit.
no subject
[ They smile back at her, happy to see her speak of her people with such fondness. Even if she doesn’t say it with the same words they do, Siffrin can tell that their feelings are probably not that different. ]
I hope you can go back to them soon, once this is over.
no subject
[ Until she figures out the cure. ]
I hope you are able to be reunited with your own, as well.
no subject
[ They definitely have to go back. But as eager as they were before to leave, the thought of possibly returning to the loops makes them Siffrin... hesitate. ]
no subject
You are welcome to my counsel, should you need it.
no subject
[ (She’s going to think you’re insane.)
But with how much their body aches, insanity doesn’t sound like a bad consequence. ]
Have you um… ever dealt with, uh, time loops?
no subject
[ So. She's dealt with weird shit too. If anything, she's interested in what they have to say about time loops. ]
no subject
I'm uh... stuck... trying to save a country. Every time I fail, I end up going back in time. Sometimes it's to when we arrived in town, other times it's...at some point in the king's castle. I think the country trapped me there.
no subject
I have two inquiries, if you will. First, do you believe there is a reason for your entrapment?
[ That’s important. ]
Second, is there aught at all that occurs when you are sent back in time? A common thread between every one of those moments.
