She didn't tell us about giving it away to anyone else. [ dick's-- pacing, for lack of anything else to do right now. ] It has to be a role thing, you're right.
[ but for the plant... ]
... If someone gets hurt with that-- I might not be the only guy on the ship who recognized the plant for what it was. If we assume our break-in role is on the worse side of things...
Dendrocnide moroides, better known as the "suicide plant". One of the most toxic plants in Australia. The stinging hairs on it deliver an extremely potent neurotoxin when touched. The pain from it is excruciating for the first few days, and can recur for months in the affected areas afterwards.
[ so yknow. it's fun. that it was in their room. ]
...how did none of us die. Why did Escha buy it? [What in the fuck.] Makes you wonder if it came with a note or instructions about it because if not, we're probably looking for someone who's from some version of Earth that would know about it.
We're probably also looking for someone who knew to wear gloves or something to transport the thing.
[There's a soft laugh.] Why did I even ask? [That sounds just like her. He doesn't look up from his feet.]
We'll keep an eye out for anyone who has a reaction to the plant itself. If there's nothing, we can assume it's someone who either knows or someone who knows someone who would. That was how we were working with the other poison Aizawa had, too.
[ he sighs himself, and now that they've hit an impasse, he just... slides down against a wall and sits on the floor. on opposite sides of the room from junpei ]
... Yeah. That's about all we can do right now. [ he tilts his head to stare at the ceiling ] Anyone in the profiles who know about poisons besides Illumi?
I don't know if medicine fits anyone but me. [ he hates it, thanks. ] But... plants. WWX knows a few, though I think they're more farm related. Not sure about anyone else.
Grune knows about flower collecting, apparently, though I'd rather not think about a poisonous plant in her hands.
[...but. Speaking of poison:] Hizamaru spoke to me last night. Expressed some concerns about Muzet still being poisoned when she wasn't really near Aizawa's body like Zero was. I told him I'd check in with Zero if she took an antidote yet but I haven't had a chance. Do you know anybody who might've distributed it?
Nikkari and Edelgard are the only ones I know who bought one, and they made theirs public. [ he taps his knees a bit ] I don't know how many were in the gift shop inventory in the first place. Do you think Muzet might be affected by something that isn't poison, or is it something to do with Zero?
Possibly both.. Hizamaru told me that Muzet touched the desk but didn't get too close to the body, whereas Zero was nearby. She didn't kneel like he did, but she still managed to avoid getting sick while Muzet didn't.
So. Either Zero took an antidote, Muzet is inflicted with something else, or Zero's possessed and we don't know it, so the demon deflected the poison.
I didn't want to go too into it in case there was nothing to it, but might be worth noting in general.
It might not be a bad idea to consider since we know he's the only one we can. Unless you can think of someone else to be suspicious of? The other question...which one? He can only check one at a time I thought.
Yeah. One at a time. [ he shakes his head a little ] We can let him pick. As of right now, they're both suspicious-- and I trust him to be able to make a judgment call.
I do, too. And I trust you to tell him this. You have a better relationship with him than I do, he's just the guy I sometimes trade info with and who's going to teach me to fight.
...really? [ He sounds a little annoyed but not really.] I know how to take care of myself just fine. I'm helping because I know it's a task for information.
I know how to use some weapons but I'm keeping that one close to the vest, so to speak. But close combat could help. I've been thinking about buying those brass knuckles from the gift shop. At least I know how to throw a punch.

[ he's got. nothing else to say to that, because it's said a bit fondly and sadly and. let's not go there. ]
It didn't come with a note. I told her when I saw it. So whoever took it either knew what it was, or they're in for a bad time right about now.

Taako, if I had to wager. You have to know about poisons to be accused about poisonings, wouldn't you?

We might want to look into someone who knows medicine, too. Or plants in general.

Yeah. He asked me who I thought might benefit from that.

It's not an insult. I was-- I used to do that a lot. [ he shrugs ] And most of the people I trained had superpowers.
