Squinting your eyes, you cant tell what he is drinking, as all cups present are metalic in nature. You can tell, from his red cheeks, that he has already started drinking. His son, however, seems sober and a bit disapproving of his father's celebratory drinking.
__________________Ahhhh, here it comes. The baron says with a big grin. You see some steaming dishes coming out from one of the building, serving those in the VVIP tables first. At the corner of your eye, you see a violinist moving from table to table, slowly coming your way. At about the same time, Lontg Junior stands and heads towards the men's room.... in a slightly rushed pace. |

Kaori's eyes widened ever so slightly once she saw Lontg Jr.rising from his seat. Now was the time to slip the venom into the target's drink! But how?!
That violinist was coming along, but who knew if he was even in on this operation? Kaori attempted to sense his motives with what little time she had before she had to make a decision. So far it seemed like her only two options were trusting the violin player to spike the drink for her, or to spike her own and find a way to have it given to her intended victim. Maybe if she complained that this wasn't what she had ordered. Dice Sense Motive that violinist:

What was the point, the violinist was too far for her to figure him out.
Looks like she'd have to do it the hard way. Using the distraction caused by the approaching musicians, Kaori attempted to bring her glass under the table without anyone noticing so she could slip the 'poison' in. With that done, she unceremoniously brought it back to the table before making a show of looking at her drink in disdain. "Ugh! This isn't what I ordered at all!" she whined while lifting her hand to get a waiter's attention. Being convincingly displeased was one thing, but to be so pissed as to interrupt the entire party was not the objective here. SHe still had decorum, after all. Dice Sleigh of hand for sneaky poison slipping:
Dice Bluff for acting like she got the wrong drink:

A waiter from one of the pillars at the covered perimeter moved quickly towards you, bowing and apologizing profusely, taking your cup while inquiring what you wish to have.

In the name of all damnation and all damnable things, why did her fingers have to slip up and be seen by the necromancer?! Think think think....
Kaori bit her lower lip nervously. "A-alright. But... oh I'm SO embarassed..." she hid her face with her fan, silently weeping a bit before showing herself again. "It's... it's a... it's an aphrodisiac." she said, swallowing hard. "My sister... she's not... satisfied so... I said she should try... but he's just so paranoid and never lets her prepare anything so she never had the chance to slip it in. So, she asked me to... Look, it's just natural plant extracts and I'll drink the rest of my bottle to show you it's harmless but please, I beg you, none of you make a scene. I... I never should of accepted her request but... oh, our family is so strict and if her marriage fails I won't be allowed to wed until she does so again... I... I don't want to be... alone the rest of my life..." Meanwhile, she carefully took the wrapper off of the vial deep in the confines of her purse. "I beg you... I'll do anything..." |

Ah, ah... He is positively speechless, unsure what to say.
__________________Um... *clears throat* well it is fortunate my less morally upright companions did not witness such things. I imagined that the bottle contained something to add a kick to your drink, as I have one here he says as he holds up a bottle of Merrigian. I can imagine such a pretty lady as yourself would have no trouble finding a suitor and getting married quickly, he leans over, attempting to comfort you. Having experience with dead bodies, you can smell a slight tinge of decayed flesh while he is close, hopefully from experiments from his lab. |

"Oh, you're just saying that..." Kaori continued to anguish, only now her voice 'was so weak' it was nothing more than a whisper, so the butler really had to lean in to hear her.
"Even if that WAS the case... my family is... so old fashioned! They think it is bad luck to not have the eldest child married first before the second and so on... and my sister is such a hard person to get along with, her current suitor is really her... OUR last hope. If only I could get him to drink the aphrodisiac... won't you please help me?" If the waiter doesn't seem convinced, she would also offer him gold, but in a desperate, "All that I have!" manner. Last edited by Zavia; 07-04-2010 at 12:54 PM. |

"That smell..." Kaori whispered to herself and the waiter. "You mentioned one of your musicians was having digestive problems... I always carry something to help with that just in case." she adds while showing him the little bottle of laxative's label.
"I wouldn't mind donating it if it means the rest of the night goes as planned, if you catch my drift? ...and my this drink still isn't what I ordered..." |

Your contact waiter suddenly appears, hip-bumping the other waiter, flashing a big grin with his golden tooth.
__________________Ah, yes, sorry about that Miss, was busy with another table. Indeed the wrong drink. Hows some good old Human wine, Murrabah Desert Wine? Very hydrating. The waiter quickly takes the bottle, palm over the lable, and pockets it, nodding. You note the necromancer watching the whole exchange, a look of slight amusement and suspicion on his face. The other waiter gets the hint and moves to another table, slightly unhappy. He did, however, get a clear look at the bottle's lable. Last edited by Zavia; 07-08-2010 at 05:38 AM. |

Kaori does a little sigh of relief. "That would be lovely, thank you." she says to the contact waiter before picking up her spoon and inspecting her distorted reflection on it nonchalantly as he left.
"I suppose you are going to give me a lecture?" Kaori whispered to him without looking away from her spoon. "Like I told you, I'm only helping my sister out of a dryspell." |

Quite a few people stand up, facing the way Junior went. You quickly glance at your target, and see him already running to the restrooms, followed by a few people from his table. |

"I haven't the slightest clue who that violinist is." Kaori answered pointedly. "I just happen to know how embarrassing it is to have digestive... problems... Why else would I have laxatives with me at all tim-" she began, but the sudden announcement of foul play stopped her train of thought dead in it's tracks!
It was very rare that Kaori's outer and inner selves had similar, yet alone identical thoughts, but when it DID happen, she never had to worry about being a convincing actress. MURDER?! "MURDER?!" she exclaimed, clutching onto the Baron's nearest arm in fear. "What on Earth?! Who could do such a thing?! My stars! Where are those people going?! We should be all staying together for safety, no?! Oh MY!" |
