28 - attention is a deadly poison

[icepetals]

Whichever asshole sent flowers to Hinamori, watch yourself. Once I find out exactly who you are you'll be as good as dead.

For anyone else, if you know of anyone that fancies poisonous flowers as gifts or short, dark-haired intruders, please share.

...Isane?

Yes, sir?

[icepetals]

Can you... do anything? I know you're already busy with prior engagements.

[fishcake_dreams]

Earl Hargreaves has asked to analyze the drug used.

I'll tend to her, of course.

[icepetals]

It's in the bouquet, I've kept it in a bag.

Thank you.

[misterblackbird]

Sir, I'm afraid that I have my suspicions and theories regarding that event.

[icepetals]

You know who is to blame?

[misterblackbird]

I believe I do.
It's two people--one who directs, and the other who acts. They are from my world; I know them.

But I also have reason to believe that this was a mistake on the the part of the one who acts.

[icepetals]

What would they want with Hinamori?

How so?

[goggleisms]

The lords of death are here---? Well met, Shinigami.

[icepetals]

I don't think I recognize you.

[goggleisms]

You would not. What reason would the Shinigami have to know one who is deathless?

[icepetals]

I have yet to actually meet someone who's truly deathless, even the gods have numbered days. Name?

[orthodontic]

People can't even accept flowers 'round this place, eh?
What's tha world comin' to...

[icepetals]

An end, obviously.

[orthodontic]

An' if that clock's countin' up to somethin'...?

[icepetals]

A big, booming end then.

[caged_song]

P-Poisonous...flowers...?

[icepetals]

Yes.

[caged_song]

Is...i-is your friend going to be alright...?

[icepetals]

I don't know...
