Penny finds this entertaining.
Entertainment is crucial if you’re trying to stay out of the internet room for 12 months.

4.07 Transcript
Kiro: I’m so sorry about this, Daisy. It’s all my fault. I’m too quick to trust people.
Darien: Okay, we got the arrows. So now what?
Kiro: You didn’t bring a bow?
Darien: Of course not!
Kiro: Whatever. Just throw it at the wall, I guess.
Darien: Does she think the flash will scare her awake or something?
Penny: Relax, D. I want to see how this one ends.
It definitely says something about me that I’m curious how the properties of the serum change between a liquid and a solid… I know, it doesn’t HAVE to have a solid grounding in real-world chemistry or physics, but my mind gravitates to substances like Nitrogen Triiodide – a fairly well-known purple powder that’s quiet and well-behaved in solution, but a serious explosive that detonates with only mild pressure when dry…
Looking forward to seeing this mystery get solved – or seeing it get more and more convoluted. Either is satisfying, in its own way… 😀
Solid? Well, probably yes, but there might be liquid in those arrowheads. Also it might be an entirely different substance, only related to the shut up serum in that it has some connection to the spirits.
Oogitie Boogotie. That is spelled incorrectly, but it still popped into my head that way. So, onomatopoeia.
Hmmmm, entertainment… Let me guess, the people who set up this camp didn’t think to provide a library of actual physical books, did they? No, that would have made too much sense, wouldn’t it?
There actually is a library, but it’s rarely used.
Maybe young people just don’t enjoy reading… or it’s haunted??
We’ll find out in a few chapters.
The amount of time young people spend on Insta or Snap makes me doubt that young people don’t enjoy reading.
Thanks to the internet, literacy has gone up.
@Hobbes: Well, if you really want a physical explanation… It’s mercury fulminate. The only reason Darien hasn’t blown his hand off is because of plot armor. 😉
Not mercury azide? Making something out of THAT would be impressive…
For reference, this stuff explodes if subjected to violence… Violence like sitting in solution, undisturbed, in the dark…
