A week's distance from the last death seems to have helped some of you, seems to have calmed things down somewhat; the presence of a new floor has helped a little in that endeavor as well – things are a little less claustrophobic, a little more open. Of course, for others things haven't been going as smoothly; between the odd dreams that you've all been experiencing and the Wordsmith's incentive, the added space may just be encouraging distance between you and your fellow Apprentices. It seems that only time will tell how things will progress from here. Friday morning comes, and with it comes the brightening of the lights throughout the University – though it seems there's something a bit wrong with the second floor in that regard. Namely, the workshop remains dark. That's probably going to be a problem. >Explore?

[That is most certainly curious. Lusamine's going to get a closer look at the beaker, picking it up and swishing it around a bit. Is it going to move around? And what color does it seem to be? Or is it clear?]

[trustwellness]

[It does swish around a bit! There's not much left in the bottom, but it seems to be dark. It doesn't look poisonous or dangerous though, and you'll probably notice that it has a (presumably) familiar scent...]

[elepe]

[...is it really a good idea to sniff beakers. Is this what we're bringing ourselves to.

Hell with it, it could be important, and it's vaguely familiar, so it's likely not toxic. What does it smell like?]

[trustwellness]

[Tea! If Lusamine knows her teas, she'll be able to distinguish it as black tea. I don't know anything about tea so don't ask me what it smells like.

There's one more thing to find on this table, but if you've got other questions about the tea beaker I can answer them too!]

[elepe]

[Lusamine does indeed enjoy her tea and who the fuck does this to it. Seriously, Lusamine feels insulted looking at this.]

What wretched heathen puts tea in a beaker?

[...she's gonna put this down lest she feel inclined to add to the glass pile on the floor. Alright. Is this thing on top of the table as well, that's where Lusamine's gonna start.]

[trustwellness]

[That's a very good question. Who is this wretched heathen???

Anyway, the table top itself looks clean other than the tea beaker... but you'll probably notice something caught on the edge of the table.]

[elepe]

[Well, Lusamine's next order of business was walking around the table, and score! She's just going to try and pull that off--what is it? Can it actually be pulled off?]

[trustwellness]

[It can, but be careful! These white cloth fibers would be easy to lose!]

[elepe]

[She'll be careful with them, for sure! White, huh...well, after compulsively checking her own outfit to make sure she hasn't randomly caught it on anything, she's gonna gently pull that out and keep it with her.

Is there anything else?]

[trustwellness]

[Nope, you've found everything here! Well done, team!!!]
