[ ACTION & VIDEO ]

[ There's a video recording feed starting up of Eames panning the camera around the City - specifically, too, to it's citizens who happen to be wandering around in an apparent daze. He appears to be sitting at an outdoor table to one restaurant or another, if the chairs and other non-affected patrons are anything to go by, and the bottle of beer with condensation pooling at the bottom in front of him. ]

I seem to recall an episode where all of our water sources were spouting out beer. Is it too much of a stretch to consider the idea this time someone's put a sedative in our well?

[ Then, quieter: ] Or a hallucinogen, if some of these stories are to go by.

I've never heard of a free year's supply of toothpaste being at the end of a rainbow, I have to say. But I suppose I'm just being close minded, hm?

[ ooc: replies can be either action or network! ]

It would have been nice to have in the desert, I guess.

[ Toothpaste. Okay then. ]

Did they say what flavor of toothpaste?

[signatures]

Cinnamon, I think. Which is questionable enough altogether.

Beer from the water sources? I'm suddenly sad I wasn't present for that particular curse.

It got rather old quickly, I assure you. Particularly if you found out about it while in the shower.

[boutant]

Ew. 'Questionable' is a polite word for it.

[conesoldstober]

I imagine the smell may have been over-whelming.

We mustn't be so judgmental. They could be allergic to mint.

I stayed away from beer for a good few weeks after the fact, obviously. You can't quite look at it the same right away after it's been your toilet bowl water for twenty-four hours.

[boutant]

They could use orange instead of cinnamon.

[Must have made hair-care like HELL. Still...]

I still think it'd take more than that to put me off, to be perfectly honest.

That sort of thinking isn't too uncommon, anyway.

[ Like Orange debating drinking beer out of a slug trap. ]

Though- I don't think we've spoken before. You're one of the new ones, yeah?

[signatures]

They could prefer the taste of fake cinnamon over fake citrus.

[conesoldstober]

Guilty as charged, yes. I've not been here a week yet.

[boutant]

As long as they're brushing their teeth, I guess.

You function under the presumption that any water supply won't carry trace pharmaceuticals after extended human exposure.

The answer to your question: no, abnormalities were not present after testing.

Toothpaste? Really?

[signatures]

Trace pharmaceuticals are a given. But a high enough dosage to the same general effect on only certain members of the City?

I certainly like science well enough but it seems far more like a curse to me. Or something certainly more naughty than an accident.

That's what he told me. Who am I to judge?

[signatures]

Have you been affected by any curious episodes yet?

[charring]

[What.]

He?

[signatures]

And they'd certainly be saving money, a year's supply of it.

[totallyinaband]

As far as curses go, this one is pretty damn gay.

[conesoldstober]

So far I've been avoided.

[boutant]

I've always wondered how they measured a year's supply of anything. What if you go through toothpaste quickly?

[archivy]

The explanation that it is a curse seems more likely than sedatives or hallucinogens in the water supply.
