It seems someone felt it appropriate to put some sort of concoction in my tea. While not completely debilitating I find the results, irritating.

I'd appreciate it if someone happened to know exactly what idiotic concoction of the month is supposed to cause color blindness. Complete color blindness.

[There's a grumble after a few seconds.]

Because of course, this place would do something this stupid.

How do you know it was your tea and not something else?

[nobasisinfact]

[Oh, he remembers her from the incident with the cult.]

It was instantaneous.

[seeingscarlet]

[Another rogue mage or scientist? Wanda really hopes not.]

Is that all? Or are any of your other senses affected?

[nobasisinfact]

Just the colorblindness.

The running hypothesis is that it has something to do with the stupid potions that they've been selling for this holiday.

[seeingscarlet]

Someone at Gramarye might be able to fix it? We all have different specialties.

Do you still have it?

[nobasisinfact]

Unfortunately, in my anger, I threw the offending drink down the drain.

[seeingscarlet]

Then if it doesn't go away soon, you should try to find someone with healing magic.

[nobasisinfact]

[There's a heavy sigh.]

Perhaps.

[He'll pick his battles here, especially since she was so important in finding the hostages.]

[seeingscarlet]

[Wanda tilts her head at him.]

You don't trust it?

[Because like it or not, he's kind of surrounded...]

[nobasisinfact]

Not particularly, no.

[It's impossible to disbelieve it at this point, but he can steer clear from it so as not to give Alex any ammo.]

[seeingscarlet]

Did something happen before this?

Private.

[nobasisinfact]

[There's a long pause as he considers what to say. 'I have no reason to discuss that with you' is on the tip of his tongue, but there's also the fact that she was so important in helping find Alex. He owes her something for that.

So he'll give her something.]

I've had, negative encounters, with the concept, and prefer to take it with a healthy dose of rational skepticism.

Private.

[seeingscarlet]

[Ah. Wanda bites her lip.]

Then I hope it goes away on its own. Or that someone else can find a cure.

But I wouldn't be here if Gramarye let people use their powers to hurt people.

Re: Private.

[nobasisinfact]

Comforting, but I have my best person working on it already.

[Don't ask who that is. His compliment might get back to her and then she'd be hell to live with.]

Private.

[seeingscarlet]

[Oh? Wanda grins. Except that makes her think of places she tends to meet the prime suspect and--oh.]

Where did you get this tea? Was it one of the cafes?

Re: Private.

[nobasisinfact]

I made it myself.

Private.

[seeingscarlet]

Then it sounds like none of us are safe, unless you left it out.

Re: Private.

[nobasisinfact]

It's doubtful that they're targeting at random. My guess is it was one of my students or faculty members.

Private.

[seeingscarlet]

[Welp, better keep her drinks in sight at all times. She works around a bunch of magic-users.]

...it was probably one of your students.

Re: Private.

[nobasisinfact]

That's the running theory. However, I plan to thoroughly investigate the matter.
