"Before we begin to brew this potion, what do you think is or are the benefits of poisons? And...what makes an uncommon poison, uncommon?"

OOC: Thanks for waiting, guys! I'm having internet connection issues thus my very late reply. You can answer one or both questions before we move along to the main activity. You have another 24 hours to answer River's questions. Thank you!

Oh well.... Char supposed everything had a benefit somewhere so she thought about it, chewing her lip and trying to puzzle through an answer. She put her hand up, waving it around a little bit, not overly certain of herself because this was potions class and she was Charlotte, and this particular Charlotte wasn't exactly an O student in classes that required so much precision. But she could think out an answer out loud and work through something....

"I guess like people are saying a benefit of poisons could actually be to test antidotes. Which sounds kind of silly but like, if you think about it, how is anyone going to figure out how to treat someone who is poisoned either on purpose or by accident without tests being done? But you know what? Also I think in nature there's a benefit for like..... plants and creatures you know? Self defense. To be poisonous so that nothing would want to try to eat you." Um what was the other question? What was uncommon! Right. Uhh... she tacked an answer on, hand still up, "Uncommon poisons are.... uncommon because.... of availability? And also maybe fashion?" Okay did that need explaining? "Like maybe 500 years ago a particular poison was like.... en vogue? But then it fell out of favour for whatever reason, so there stops being a need to have a specific antidote for it, or even like..... the knowledge about a specific antidote might fade? And then if that poison resurfaces... then you'd have to fall back on this uncommon thingy and hope for the best." Um... right? Who knew, who knew, but she WAS trying, in earnest, for you Healer Reed.
