Tab appears displeased by the sight of the poison. "How are you supposed to keep anyone safe with weapons like these all about... Well, there's two spots missing, yet we only found one can. That means someone still has poison on them, or maybe even already cooked it into something... You two, don't eat anything you're not absolutely sure is safe." Tab heads back to the cafe, to check on the status of the four poison victims.

"The other missing can was a lethal poison. And a gas," Pinky says as you walk back. "So you should be fine to eat. But maybe you shouldn't breathe so much..."
When you get back, the dragon woman is still asleep on the table, though someone's arranged her to be a bit more comfortable. Sachi and Mattea are now lying in their seats instead of over the table.
The bunny girl is half-awake in the corner. She's mumbling incoherently, but seems pretty annoyed. Tia's standing in front of her, nodding.

Tab walks over to Tia. "How is she holding up? Is she regaining consciousness now? The sooner we could get answers out of the victims, the better."

Tab
Tia's tongue flicks out. "I think she'ssssss-"
"I'm fine," the bunny insists. "Just... annoyed about getting poisoned again. I'm so sick of this sleep powder." She glares at the dragon-lady. "I bet it was her. Her little friend Isana just loves using it."
The portal flashes and Awkward walks in, followed by an 8ft-tall slobbering wolf-beast.
Awkward
You walk in to find a very interesting scene. Everyone's either looking at you or unconscious.
"Hi, Katie!" Tia calls out.

"...Oh, you're back, furry boss. Err... I should catch you up on what's transpired so far." Tab explains what's passed to Awkward.
"Great. They're already killing each other." Awkward approaches the bunny girl. "So how'd this tray of brownies come about? Didn't Sachi cook this? That'd make him the culprit, doesn't it?"

"No, that's wrong!" the deer-girl yells. Everyone turns to look at her. She slaps her hands over her mouth, then continues quietly. "Wh-why would Sachi go to ask the trouble of making that fake label to disguise it as a chocolate substitute? And why would he eat his own brownies?"
"How naive, Pannes. He was clearly trying to cover his own ass by creating an alibi for when someone dies from some trap!" the guy with the yo-yos yells.
"What trap? We haven't found anything like that!" Pannes argues.
"Please stop yelling..." Bunny begs.

Honestly? I am trying, I'm just blanking on what could be done right now... So for now, the party just waits until more of the sleep poison victims wake up.

You wait.
The blind woman looks thoughtful. "Didn't Gale here say that she's been drugged like this before?"
The bunny - Gale, apparently - nods. "I'd rather not talk about that, though. It was... a very unpleasant experience." She glares at the sleeping dragon lady.
"Hm. And you weren't the first to eat a brownie, but you were the first one awake. And you knew more or less how it would affect you..." The blind woman leans against a table and spreads her arms out a bit.
Tia cocks her head. "I don't understand what you're saying."
"OK, how about this." The blind woman holds up her hand, making a few gestures to accompany her theory. "Gale knows she'll wake up quickly compared to the rest of us. She gets everyone to eat a brownie. Everyone falls asleep. She wakes up first. And now... we're all at her mercy."
"No we aren't?" Tia asks.
"N-no, it's... hypothetical."
"I didn't do that," Gale says. "I wouldn't."
"Besides, where's your proof?" the woman in the business suit asks.

No, I can't think of how to contribute at this moment... Wait longer.

"We should search her for a weapon," the blind woman suggests.
"She doesn't need a weapon," the wolf-guy says. "She's a taguel. So long as she has her beaststone..."
"Nevyn! Whose side are you on?" Gale demands.
"Oh, apologies. I just didn't want them insulting your skills as a warrior," the wolf answers.
"Thanks... I think?" Gale says.
"Sorry, what's a taguel?" the business suit lady asks.
"Oh, well..." Gale holds up a stone, crouches down, and is suddenly surrounded by a wall of stone. She bursts out in the form of a giant rabbit. "I can do this!" she answers, her voice distorted.
"Oh my God she's so cute!" Katie yells. She bounds over and tries to hug her.
Gale screams. "H-help! Wolf! Sh-she's trying to eat me!"
"No, I just want to hug you!" Katie insists.
The two scamper off into the mall.
Everyone's left staring off after them.
The dragon-lady begins to stir, then sits up. She looks around the room. Glaring. Her eyes lock onto Mareena.

Awkward grumbles. "This is taking too long. I'm trying something to speed up the process." Awkward proceeds to Edit in loyalty towards Awkward into the sleeping Mattea, then Sachi, and copy their abilities if Editing is successful. There's no real intention of trying to wake them up faster.

You edit loyalty into Mattea and acquire Dance Lvl 2, Flirt Lvl 2, and Poise Lvl 1. You edit loyalty into Sachi and acquire Cooking.
You get some funny looks. And they don't wake up.
"What was that you just did to them?" Raine asks.

"Does it really matter? Either way, it's still a waiting game until they decide to wake up." Awkward shrugs off the question.
"...Oh, it just occurred to me. Since most of you are here, could anyone help fix Mareena's door? It's truly the most impossible task on the earth..." Tab speaks out.

"I-it... Um..." Raine backs off. Then she steps forward again. "Y-yes, it does matter! These are my friends, and they were just poisoned! S-so I... I have to take care of them!"
"What do you need a door for?" the blind woman asks.
"Ambiance, mostly. Keep the light dim. And to give my customers more privacy when they're asking questions that can be really personal," Mareena explains. "Though apparently it can't even give privacy while changing."
The blind woman thinks for a moment. "Just get some tape, get a sheet or something from a clothing store, and hang that up."
