Although it had been good to see his mom again, Claude entered the cafeteria with a dark expression on his face. He was glad she felt comfortable enough with him to share her experiences from last night, but that didn't make him any less angry at the military for using her to do their dirty work. Why couldn't those bastards clean up their own

So after seeing them talk, he was rather curious about what it was they'd talked about. He could guess at it, partly: Mikado was still fairly new, and even if he was surely beginning to adjust to the routine here, there was only so much he could see and believe in twenty-four hours without hearing it from multiple sources. Surely a part of their talk had been about the 'hospital ( ... )

"Good; good..." Izaya answered, a faint smiling coming to his lips. Since he'd last seen Snow he'd both met the intriguing Ippo and found that Mikado was here, so it had been nothing less than a pleasant couple of days, unfulfilled schemes from last night aside. "And you? You didn't check out that drug last night, did you? I've heard bad things about it."
He rather hoped Snow had, if only to hear more bad things about it. As long as he had information about various things that had happened, it eased the sting of not getting to see it himself. And if there was a next time... Well, it never hurt to be prepared for what he'd find. It was certainly better than going into things blindly.

...Oh wow. He'd been so caught up in this whole mess of trying to find Serah, he hadn't even thought about everything else that was going on in this place. In fact, he'd practically forgotten. And to think, he'd been knocked out all that time... A whole day. And that was all still going on, wasn't it? Hearing about those things alone was usually enough to get him pissed, but considering it all together? It was kind of a lot to take in ( ... )

It was enough to take Izaya by surprise; he'd thought that surely everyone would at least have known it existed, even if they hadn't gone to the medical wing themselves. But-that was wonderful, too! The cluelessness had been unexpected, but it wasn't bad at all! In fact, it was almost refreshing...
"The drug in the infirmary," he explained evenly, lacing his fingers together as he ignored his meal for the time being. "I believe they called it a 'concoction' in last night's announcement, but a drug is a drug no matter what they refer to it as. -Assuming, of course, that it's not actually a 'magic potion'." But even that (if possible) would be a drug, of sorts.
He kept his gaze on Snow as he talked, but he'd caught a glimpse of Mikado out of the corners of his eyes. A quick glimpse to the side after adding the jest was enough to confirm that it had been the boy, and that he was sitting with... That wasn't Ippo, was it?

"So then, it's something these people... made?" Something they made themselves rather than something you'd buy? Considering the fact that he heard something about l'Cie experiments going on here, it wasn't hard to come to the conclusions that it had something to do with that. And considering Izaya's last words, it seemed like that was all too probable. Izaya seemed to think it wasn't anything like that but that phrase got Snow thinking. He looked down at the table, frowning in contemplation as he repeated the words in a thoughtful murmur. "A 'Magic Potion ( ... )

"The general invited people to come take a dose in exchange for a reward... To become voluntary test subjects, in other words. I spoke with someone earlier who'd decided to volunteer, and it seems the results were... less than pleasant."
And between that and what he'd seen on the board this morning...
