[Sophie is in the Town Square again, though this time with a very large shopping bag set on the ground at her feet. while she is standing calmly enough, there are some subtle signs of the anxiety and exhaustion that she's been feeling lately. her hair isn't quite as neat as usual, and her dress looks a tad wrinkled. in fact, it's a new dress--forest green, edged in lace, but a very simple design overall. the skirt of it is very loose, clearly designed with plenty of leeway, for a reason that those looking closely at her might notice. at this point in her pregnancy, Sophie has started to show a small baby bump]

Hello again, everyone. [she clasps her hands in front of her as she talks, that calm expression becoming a bit more nervous. she glances around, as though concerned about being overheard, before she continues] Many of you asked me for charms before, and I've finished them all. If you'd like to meet me in the Town Square, I have them here.

This would also be a good opportunity to discuss other recent...events, as well. In person is best, I think. [she smiles somewhat grimly]

I look forward to talking to all of you. [reaching out to the CAT, she ends the transmission]

[ooc: Feel free to use this post as a mingling post! You can interact with Sophie, or you can interact with each other in the Town Square so that information can freely be shared. Also, feel free to notice the baby bump or not as you prefer~]

[oh, he is looking into it quite extensively, but he's curious to hear what you've heard first, Sophie.]

A mass poisoning, eh? [a short pause] Wait. Something like that happened before the last time, correct?

[fortune_sought]

[and she's curious as to why he would lie about something so simple]

Yes, and that's exactly what the information was related to. [dryly] I thought it a terribly interesting choice for Dr Resarci to leave that lying around in his clinic.

[vengefulagent]

[see, he doesn't lie. he just doesn't show all of his cards at once, and since the situation is under control and no one is at risk of getting harmed, he sees no reason to reveal what he knows at this time. however, this particular snippet of information is new to him.]

This Dr. Resarci has no memory of the events from the last time a group of strangers was here. If this is absolutely true, then he'd have no recollection of the reason why he hid that information to begin with and would just assume that information was supposed to be there as it was.

[fortune_sought]

[skeptical] A poison and its antidote? No, I don't think anyone would leave such things lying about without a reason, whether they remember the details or not. And who's to say that Dr Resarci was the one who left them?

[vengefulagent]

[he enjoys your line of thought, Sophie]

You tell me. If you want my opinion, I'd say someone wanted you to find those documents, but since both the poison and antidote were left out, I'd almost wonder if you'll have to use them in the future. 'How' would be up to you.

[she likes his line of thought, too. she nods, considering] Yes, I think you're right. Or at the least, they've been left as a clear clue to recent events.
