[ WEEK TWO – THE SIRENS ]

[chiefexe]

SIRENS

The message somehow ends up showing up in a bottle washed up against the shore actually. Which is a pretty weird way to deliver a message but of course, it's thematic. Naturally, it'll only show up when nobody else is around. When walking along the beach, Battler, Fie, Raven, Serph, and Vriska will find that bottle right there, waiting for them. The message Battler, Fie, Raven, Serph, and Vriska receives is short and simple: Need you for something. Come see me this evening. You'll know where to go. - Hal P.S. Put the note back in the bottle. Throw it back. I'll know if you don't. And that's it. Of course, if they choose to listen to their messages, they'll find a mysterious path in the jungle. They'll find the path as if guided to it, even though it won't be there if they try to show it to someone else later. And at the end of the path, they'll find a small hut, tucked against the jungle backdrop and the two Chiefs standing in front of it. Hal greets them with a flat look and a greeting: Sirens. And then he holds out five small notebooks, weather-worn and a little salty. Looks like they've been chosen for one of those roles that were mentioned. Good luck.

Can we obtain soporifics?

[ You could just say "ask Pal for sleeping pills," Serph. That's also an option. ]

[hypertoxic]

Drugging her was pretty much my first thought! I would just have to do it consistently, like five out of every seven days to keep it from seeming too unnatural. Plus, it depends on how generous those Chiefs are feeling!

[varunastra]

I hadn't considered the problem of consistency, but you're right.

[ He asked for chlorine tablets and got a whopping two. If they deigned to provide something, he doubts whether it would actually be enough for regular use anyway. ]

[hypertoxic]

Haha. She's so trusting she might just leave it alone, but I know I'd get suspicious if I was falling asleep regularly only on Thursday nights! I guess the first thing to do is to ask Pal what he'd be willing to provide me with. It's likely I'll have to complete a kill before either of them will give me anything useful. [ harrumph. ]

[varunastra]

Knocking her out one week could be made to appear as an accident. Repeating it weekly would likely raise similar suspicions, but it might give you enough time to procure something better.

[hypertoxic]

[ That gets a thoughtful hum out of her. ]

That is not a bad idea. Maybe I can do that this week, and figure out a different plan for the rest of our time here.

[ Loudly, as she turns to face them: ]

Hey Hal, Pal! You two catch any of that?

[chiefexe]

Sure did.

[ Yo, Vriska. ]

So what d'you want, exactly?

[hypertoxic]

[ Hey Pal, what's shakin. ]

Sleeping drugs would probably be best. Anything subtle that I could slip into a drink or food. Maybe like a dissolvable powder? Enough for... [ she pauses to perform some quick mental calculations. ] 30 total days. I'll spread it out.

[chiefexe]

[ Just chillin', nm nm. ]

Sure, I can do that for ya. We're here to help you get your work done, and that's a fact.

[hypertoxic]

Really? Huh. I thought you'd give me more of a hassle. So, uh, thanks I guess!

[chiefexe]

[ A smile! ]

Your job's important, ya know. I'll try to help y'all however I can.
