[ Everyone sure made a choice to be in the den of sin opium tonight.
The doors lock. All the opium turns to ash, and all they have now is each other, the smell of smoke in the air, and the couches. Medb, who is wearing a keyhole sweater, gives this soft little sigh before she turns to everyone. ]
[Here is Douman, who is in that same outfit they were in at last trial, with the seals, but....well, there is certainly bruises and scratches over their exposed skin?? Bites too? They're not in good shape, but good mood? Maybe.]
[ Well, it's not like Douman has made it that much of a secret how much they need to calm down, so she looks at the bruises and scratches with just a glance. ]
I'm afraid it's no good. Whatever it is that's been afflicting so many of us this week, it seems to have ruined my ability to enjoy a drink without suffering for it.
I haven't dared to test it repeatedly. I hadn't experienced a headache like that in many years, and I wish for nothing more than to never suffer it again.

If they're trying to be a serial killer, it's bold.

Oh... well, that's just great.
[She drapes herself over the edge of the couch she's lounging on, as if in a dramatic gesture of woe.]
I can't have wine, I can't have a good drink, I can't have this... Is this really a place of indulgence? Or am I here to be punished?
