[pcs] ray of sunshine
[maybe eventually I'll add images to these.]
[so ishi is out in the courtyard, minding his own business around some plants, when someone else's presence gets him to glance up--
and whatever greeting he had in mind immediately goes out the window at the sight of ray.]
-oh, my.
[that's... that sure is something! it sure is distracting.
on second glance, ishi's got a few plants in his arms; he's been doing a little harvesting out here, seems like.]
Well, I suppose that makes you rather easy to find. You aren't busy, are you?

Shut it.
[do you know! how many comments he's gotten about this!]
What is it?

[he doesn't comment further on how very sparkly ray is this week, at least, just nodding his head toward the greenery instead.]
Are you familiar with the uses of plants?

[he nods.]
Though specific plants would depend on if I'm familiar with them, of course.

Ah, perfect. Would you mind giving me a hand with these, then?
[he'd thought ray might know a few things, given that list of skills, but he wasn't certain.]
If you're unfamiliar with any, I can explain their uses, if you'd like. I believe I know most of them.
[and if ray doesn't mind, he'll pass over what he already has, which is mint & chamomile. not a lot, but enough to work with for now.]

No problem.
[he's also done some gardening himself, sine they had to grow their own food too and all. he'll take the mint and chamomile.]
But that'd be appreciated. [...] So you're planning on starting a garden here?

Not quite. They were already planted here, it seems... I'm simply harvesting what might be useful, particularly since we have no infirmary.
[the situation is not ideal, but he's trying to help.]
[the situation is not ideal, but he's trying to help.]
[he sighs. fucking (no) infirmary.]
Good idea. I asked Justice and he offered to provide an infirmary when he's host for the week, but until then...
[or never if justice never gets to be host.]

Until then, we will have to make do, though that's certainly good to hear.
[there's a brief, soft sigh from him as well, before he delves into some nearby plants.]
I was told that these may vary depending on who hosts, as well, so perhaps there will be other helpful ones in the future.
[or the opposite.]

[whoo plants]
Depends on what your definition of "helpful" is. Some of the gods picked their rooms based on what they thought would help, but it's not always what everyone needs.

[another short pause, and-]
Well-- they already are not all helpful. I've identified multiple toxic plants on top of those with medicinal uses.

Those are helpful for killing someone.
[cheery!]

...I would like to hope they won't be used for that purpose.
[is it really too much to ask for. :( ]
[is it really too much to ask for. :( ]
Too bad some of the gods won't respect that. Have you asked about the trials?
Not specifically, no. I take it that you have?
Yup.
Probably safe to assume someone's going to be killed every week, basically.
[cheery!!!!]

[thanks, he hates that!! it takes several moments for him to respond again, quietly adding feverfew to the gathered plants.]
I would prefer to think that not so many of us could be pushed into doing so. Perhaps that's a little too optimistic of me, though.

Probably. If it's going to happen, I bet it'll be after curfew on Thursday. That's got to exist for a reason, right?
I would assume so. If nothing else, it seems like it would be an opportune time.
Especially if it's supposed to be some kind of mystery that we're to solve during the trial.
I cannot say I like the sound of that, either.
[literally none of this is good, tbh.]

Plus the part where the culprit gets executed.

[ray why are you like this,
because yeah that one gets him to stop what he's doing.]
They intend for death to result in still more of it?

Yup. That's what it suggests in Above Suspicion, and one of the gods confirmed it. Not that they were happy about it, though.
... I had hoped that might refer to something entirely separate.
[like, maybe someone breaking rules badly enough to make that happen, something along those lines.]
There is no reason to go to such lengths for the sake of this contest.
