Welcome to your new home. While it may seem creepy, this long, rectangular room is at least lit by lamps hanging low on golden chains from the ceiling. Everything seems rather empty except for the few chairs and desks that are set around a massive tank with an emerald green liquid swarming inside. In this tank, several pearly-white brains float around. While they may seem harmless, don't be fooled; when removed from the potion, the brains fling out streams of thoughts that can dangerously injure someone. Be careful, but do not falter from your work.

Blackfire turned round rather hurt and ignored everyone. She continued her work in silence

Nancy Drew · 03-17-2008, 10:13 PM

"Suicide? Or Stress?" He said, feeling a tad pressured, but confident all the same, "I mean, so far, All these people had either a high-stress life or work, right...?"

GlassXRose · 03-20-2008, 10:26 PM

She laughed, excitedly, "Precicely!". Setting down the file folder in her hand, she picked up the glass cylender containing the brain she had picked out for herself.

"These brains," She said, "will be studied--discected, if you will. To see what drives people to this." She set it down for fear of dropping it. "We will be concentrating mainly on the frontal lobe, and I have a few photos of what we're going to be examining."

She dug down into her bag, and began looking for the file, "Any questions so far?" She asked, setting out this and that from her bag.

Jaderial · 03-23-2008, 02:18 PM

Jade looked at her file,"I have a 48 year old politition with suicide as cause of death," Then she looked up,"huh," She was spacing out. "Their all suicidal!" she said with a strange smile, looking out to nowhere.

Henry couldn't help but lean back a bit, but smiled that someone else had spotted this similarity. "How, precicely, will we be examining these brains?" He asked Irene.

"Well I've got a question," Trism said tossing his file down on the desk. "How does "Death by Killing curse" factor into everyone's suicide or stress hypnosis?" He popped a snoodle doodle into his mouth. "Because when last I checked, it's pretty hard to hit yourself with that unforgivable curse."

Irene finally popped yet another folder out of her bag and looked up at the gentlemen, "Well, my guess is that he was asked to be killed." She took a photograph out of the folder, "But that's just my guess. I didn't, uh...I didn't personally review these brains, they were recieved--Delivered to me..."

She trailed off for a moment before allowing all to see the photo.

"This, as you all should have guessed, is a brain cell in the cerebral cortex." She gestured to one area of the cell that was darkened, "And this part shows that the victim has undergone some type of stress."
She set down the photo, "This cell shows only a bit of the effects--the amount of stress one could occumulate in-, say, a week."

"The equivilent of a sliced ham sandwich." She smiled, as though the statement made perfect sense. "But not these brains--no. We will be aquiring a completely new set." She spoke of them as though it were, say, a new pet.

She glanced down at a pocket watch that was nestled in her bag, "Any other questions?" Irene straightened her black jacket, "I have an appointment within the Ministry I must not break."

Nancy Drew · 04-02-2008, 12:04 AM

Sliced Ham sandwich? He thought, blinking.

"I presume then," He gestured to the photo, "That these brains' cells are all dark, correct?"

He wondered, for a moment, about this appointment, but disregarded it quickly.

"These Brains now have no cells in the cerebral cortex. They have been completely obliterated. Which is why it is highly believed that they all commited suicide, or died from the stress that would have...have, uh..."

She trailed off and gesticulated timidly, "You know." she said finally, quietly, and looking down a bit.

Jaderial · 04-02-2008, 12:56 AM

Jade was studied these conversations. Different thoughts went through her mind as she listened. "Are we to find out if they died of stress or suicied?" She asked.

"No, no, no." She said, holding up a finger, "We will be experimenting to see what particular function of the brain will drive perople to such extreme measures and--"

She stopped for a moment, "We will be trying to restore these brains--but I cannot divulge." she added, quietly, and smiling.

Jaderial · 04-02-2008, 01:29 AM

"Ok" Jade said with her strange smile. Thend she looked down at her desk. She frowned. She looked disapointed as she examined the papers slightly sitting out of her folder. She fixed the file to where it was back in the folder, and she straitend it evenly on her desk. Her smile came back immidiatley after she did so.

GlassXRose · 04-06-2008, 05:06 PM

Irene fumbled in her bag a moment for a pair of keys. "Right." She said, not looking up, but loud enough for everyone to hear. "I shall return in about twenty minutes." She approached the door with the keys, "Now, I know you're all adults and can take care of yourselves, but I am locking this door so as no one can enter or exit without a set of keys."

She was halfway out the door before turning, "Oh-and do not feed the wolf, kay?" She said, as though it were a perfectly normal thing to say. She closed the door, locking it.

ooc: Talk amongst yourselves or discuss the brains, but don't pester around Irene's desk

Nancy Drew · 04-07-2008, 06:20 PM

Henry nodded before doing a double-take "What, what?" He said, looking from the door to everyone else. He himself owned two dogs but--wolves? What? Was that what she said?

He put the thought from his mind and stared down at his brain for a moment, "Do you think she's all there?" He whispered to the other three.

"I did think she was a little Cuckoo" went blackfire smirking

GlassXRose · 04-10-2008, 11:38 PM

Irene entered once more, but she had with her a large, suitcase-like leather box, that didn't seem to open. On her hands, she was wearing red leather gloves with black stitching. She locked the door behind her, "Did I miss anything?" She asked with a smile, totally ignoring to explain the box.

She strolled to a large, wooden cabinet in one corner, and unlocked it with a very irregular key. She passed her wand over the cabinet and muttered something, and the two dark mahogany doors sprung open. She set the box inside and repeated the locking process with the key and her wand.

As she came back to her desk, she removed the gloves and tossed them aside. "Shall we begin?"

"Don't see why not just keep away from my desk. And don't steal any of my cookies" went blackfire. She liked to keep a stash of cookies to nibble on while she was at work.

Jaderial · 04-12-2008, 01:47 AM

Jade sat, just listening for a bit. She lifted up her hand. Staring at it unapprovingly. She looked around her. Searching her desk,inside her folder,and everywhere on the floor. Though she never actually left her chair. She sat up strait as if giving up. She sent out a worried and uncomfortable look.

GlassXRose · 04-12-2008, 11:27 PM

Irene raised an eyebrow at both of the ladies. After a moment of ..., she spoke, "Can any one of you tell me the section of the brain that effects depression...anxiety...etc., etc...?"

Setting aside her bag from the desk, she conjured two small jars with a quick wave of the wand and setting them to her left.

Jaderial · 04-13-2008, 11:05 PM

Jade thought for a second,"I do belive it was in the cerebral hemispheres, correct?" She said.

GlassXRose · 04-15-2008, 01:13 AM

Irene nodded, "Exactly!"

She picked up the jars. In one appeared to be 1/4 of a brain. Slightly pink and definitely...juicy. In the other was the same, only smaller, and looking moldy.

"Now, this ought to be quite easy. Which Brain came from the Suicidal lunatic, boys and girls?", she asked in a sing-song-ish voice and smiling.

Ruby85 · 04-19-2008, 08:28 PM

"Aint a clue is this a trick question?" asked Blackfire looking confused

Jaderial · 04-19-2008, 10:35 PM

"Is it the one that is missing over half of the brain?" Jade asked examining it.

GlassXRose · 04-20-2008, 09:06 PM

She sighed. This wasn't mush to work with. "This one." she said, holding up the jar containing the fourth that was darkened.

"Much like the lungs of a smoker, the 'contaminated' brain suffers both physical and nonphysical, phycological, damage." She set both jars down.

"Now. Here comes the dangerous and really cool part. I need you all to cast upon yourselves, the bubblehead charm." As she said this, she flicked her wand twice, and again, a jar containing a brain appeared on every desk.
