[Caitlyn enthusiastically shows off a small wooden box. Visible on the lid is an insignia of a Minaras governmental medical facility. Over Caitlyn's shoulder is a redhead looking wholly uninspired by this discovery.]

This was found following an altercation with a group of drunk individuals. One man was tall, must have been a little over six feet, with a blond beard, head shaved, and some sort of tattoo visible on his neck. Another was a few inches shorter, clean-shaven and close-cropped black hair, wearing a rather ostentatious, if tattered, blue coat. The third was a few inches shorter still, also clean-shaven, with long brown hair tied in a ponytail and several scars along the length of his forearms.

[Vi rolls her eyes as Caitlyn rattles off these descriptions. Caitlyn, oblivious, continues:] Does anyone know who these men might have been? If they could be identified, they could perhaps be located and questioned as to how a box belonging to a medical facility came into their possession.

[Vi mutters,] Probably going to sell whatever it is to the highest bidder.

[At the interruption, Caitlyn glances over her shoulder to respond to Vi. Her tone is less critical and more like she's excited to brainstorm possible motivations.] We can't assume that.

[Caitlyn turns back to the contents of the box.] Yes. Um. There are herbs inside, they smell-- [She takes a whiff, wrinkling her nose.] --earthy. Musky. And faintly of fruit. And... [She smells again, and a horrified look crosses her face, as though she's just smelled the most odious smell imaginable. She quickly moves the box further away from herself, looking at it as though it's done her a great personal wrong.] Urine.

[Vi shouldn't look so amused at the posh description, but she does.

Caitlyn holds up a few of the whole dried leaves and flowers: foxglove, wisteria, passion flower, and valerian. There is a small sack visible inside the box containing more herbs ground up.]

Are there any herbalists in the group who might be able to identify these? What purpose could these serve, either individually or in combination?

[Vi leans in closer and says,] And by the way, I need to talk to the resident hextech genius.

[ooc: for the herbalists out there, this combination of herbs leads to memory loss]

Don't sniff that too hard, it causes memory loss.

[ A beat. ]

Unless you've got stuff you wanna forget.

["Red hair, face tattoo" is not an easy description to forget, so when this particular post gets his attention, he knows immediately who this is. He should feel some relief--Caitlyn was extremely worried, after all, but there's a part of him that's still suspicious. He doesn't know much about how they came to meet, nor does he know the circumstances that brought Caitlyn to Stillwater in the first place. He doesn't know why Vi is asking for him, specifically.]

Looks like you found each other.

[And a box of medicinal plants, but he has a feeling that's not what they want to ask him about.]

Is there something I can help you with?

Sorry, I don't believe I've seen either of those people.

But, um. How long ago did you see them? Was there anyone else nearby who might have seen them?

[Her powers are on the fritz since coming out of the unwinding but maybe...she could find something useful from someone nearby...? It's moments like these that she thinks psychometry would be a useful power to have.]

Ah, I recognize some of those. Foxglove - the one shaped like many stalks of bells - is poisonous.

[ It's a pocket watch. Except that it isn't. And that's more than strange. She can recognize an enchanted object well enough, but what do they expect her to do with the damn thing?

She peers at the screen with vague suspicion before settling back in her seat with a sharp sniff. ]

Like she said, together they could cause memory loss.

Individually, you could treat headaches, insomnia, a handful of other things.

Half of them are toxic.
