[ hey brilith, are you in the kitchen? hopefully you're in the kitchen at some point because there's free food happening here. maybe.
ash is cooking. maybe he'll share. ]

[ something smells amazing?! brilith has never had to cook in her life, so imagine her surprise at finding the kitchen at all, and then finding a teenager cooking! she'll offer him a sheepish smile, whether ash looks her way or not. ]
It smells wonderful.

[ he’s a man of many talents, Brilith. ]
Hm?
Oh this? [ he just kinda looks down at the pan, like he wasn’t really thinking about what he was making ] I’m just throwing stuff together. The food they’ve been serving isn’t bad, but it’s not like there’s a tonne of things to do here otherwise.

[ He just shrugs. ]
If it tastes like crap you don’t make it again. Also it’s just common sense — red meat tastes good with spices and tomato flavours. You wouldn’t slather it in condensed milk or something really sweet.

Yeah. Sometimes it works.
[ he jabs a spatula at the food ]
But if you dumped sugar on this it’d taste like crap.

[ now that the news has been broken to her, brilith is slowly wandering the manor with downcast eyes. it's difficult to find relief in being free of her room with the knowledge of someone's death hanging over her head, and she can't even find solace in reading at the moment, so she's... feeling quite useless, as she walks. the feeling intensifies when she bumps into someone, immediately backing up to apologize. ]
I'm sorry - I should have been more careful.

[ Well. He could get pissy about it, but what's the point, really? ]
Probably. I'll let you off though. [ These are, uh. Exceptional circumstances. ]

[ they are crime blood brothers now. it's in her nature. ]
We'd all be in the same state, or going that way if it was widespread. [ He sounds a little monotone, but... the point is made. ] Although the kitchen might not be a bad place to look for traces of it.

That's true... I suppose I was just looking for a reason it would happen so suddenly. I haven't heard about anyone else feeling ill recently.
[ ayabe fainting from all the chaos aside. ]
Should we check, then? Although... I doubt I would be much help, right now.

It could happen suddenly because someone planned and only targetted one person. [ He'd been locked in his room all night, but the fact the doors had just locked of their own accord at the same time? Dodgy.
Someone wanted no interference.]
We can do. You never know, maybe someone got sloppy.

[ oh. ]
...You think she was murdered, then. But why? She didn't seem like a bad person, and she got along with most of us fine, didn't she?
[ what would someone have against haruka, specifically? and to do such a thing so quickly after they'd all arrived here, to move so quickly and rashly and without any care the lives around them... it's like something a sura would do. ]
I don't know much about poisons. What would we even be looking for?

Given the pattern of getting kidnapped, and not being able to leave, I'm just gonna assume the worst until I find out otherwise.
And sure, maybe she was fine and got along with people. But maybe she came across something she shouldn't have?
[ It's always a possibility. ]
Dunno. I'm not a poison expert either. Small bottles? Weird smells? Traces of liquids or powers?

...You make it sound like we were brought here like cattle to be slaughtered.
[ well. all things considered, that’s probably the most practical assumption to make. but brilith doesn’t have to like it. ]
If there’s anything we can do to prevent that from happening, I want to try. None of us asked to be here, no matter how much they insist that we accepted an invitation.

Could be the truth. Some people are into that kind of thing, especially if they've got too much time and money on their hands.
Sure, to get you started. A lot of it's just trial and error though. Tweaking what does and what doesn't work as you go along.
Or you own and everyone can get in line.
[ As a chaotic option. ]

... huh. I mean, we have monsters and they’re a pain in the ass and dangerous if you can’t defend yourself. But it’s more like instinct.
[ good thing miki isn’t here she’d be going at brilith’s neck if she heard that. 😔 ]
