Having only had a spoonful, Jougo wasn't about to collapse. He felt he might have problems standing. Seeing those around him collapsing and hearing the words, his mood instantly shifted. Hoping some good battle would generate some adrenaline to counter the toxin or whatever it was, Jougo double casted Grenade and launched them at Jabril.
Nice as the soup tasted, it doesn't pack the same bang I do!
Akane kept offering the spoonful to Jougo, hoping he would give in and accept her love...but he did not. He ignored her. It was then she noticed everyone starting to get...woozy. Akane blinked, not realizing it was from the food (which she had not eaten any of). She did, however, realize something was wrong when everyone turned aggressively on the man who had brought them here. "Hey, Mister! This ain't funny," she huffed, not getting the punchline, the joke! When Jougo attacked, Akane immediately switched into violent mode (one of her only two moods). Once Jougo's grenades were out of the way, she was gonna give them a piece of her mind! (With a kick to the throat!)
**Eizen had been eating very slowly, although he was still effected, of course. He is neither surprised nor perturbed. He speaks while storing away the food, continuing as everything that is happening happens. He IS speaking fairly fast, however.**
Eizen- Obvious, but effective nonetheless. You left a few bizarre hints, not a big issue. I suggest giving some explanation for the lack of repeat workers at the very least - you just barely betrayed us in time. If this is a survivable sort of predicament I would be interested in future, hopefully more amicable, dealings should I manage to escape. I'm sure a man of your wealth does not value the silverware/furniture as one of his prized possessions so no hard feelings, yes?
**The storing included Eizen putting the soup into his 'cloak' (void space), along with as much of the food/soup as possible while he is speaking. Dagger already was in there after Atropos/Bob failed to notice it back on the trip. He clearly does not expect his allies to pull through here, but perhaps he will be pleasantly surprised. If Eizen has the time and strength he'll take the chair as well (if Jabril doesn't look mad about it) - maybe push it into his abnormally large void by falling on it with his increasingly limp body?**
She gave quite a grin at Jabril. Unsuprised by betrayal as that was a frequent in her line of work.
I see, well YOU just got a hell of a lot more interesting.
Knowing that she would soon pass out as well, being that she ate her entire bowl while side tracked by all the shiny potential, she instead scooted away from the violence as to not get hit by any crossfire. Sat against a wall and leaned her head back. Then she Thought S***, its probably slave trade. Oh well, Ive handled that before... They better not mess with my hair, or I'll be really pissed. and awaited her inevitable slumber.
Golan paused halfway through a mouthful of delicious soup, unsure of whether or not to swallow it.
*Gulp*
Well, that answers that question. Golan, now working under a time limit, picks up other peoples bowls and finishes them before falling unconscious in a heap on the table.

Inches away from the pair of jesters, the greandes seemed to reverse propulsion, landing near the duo's feet before detonating. As his ankle was bit, Jabril hit the ground as to avoid being shot at, landing on top of Bob. Atroops suddenly felt a rather powerful sharp pain racing through his mind as the blonde haired driver pulled out a short club.
**Daréon crashed to the ground spectacularly hard and fast, flipping over his halfway gone soup in the process with just enough time to spit a curse for Jabril and Aethelred.**

**And thus did Eizen acquire a chair. Things are looking up! Anyway, Eizen clings on to consciousness for just a while longer to see if any new opportunities show themselves. He isn't moving much though.**
When the grenades touched the ground, instead of detonating there they rocket under the table back in the direction of Jabril with the same momentum and target: Jarbil.
While the grenades were back on track, Jougo decided it was time to lighten things up. He double casts Ignite on the most flammable seeming object the driver was holding/wearing.

The rocket propulsion seemed to take an odd trajectory, doing a complete loop in the air before once again racing towards their owner, when they were no more than a foot away from the jester, Jabril shot at one grenade, detonating it at a distance which should have easily rendered Juogo unconscious.
Akane doesn't like when people mess with Mistah J's fun, so she leapt across the table and dove onto Jabril straddling him and pulled out her stone dagger, aiming to cut out his tounge or injure his face.
"Sorry sugah, but I gotta cut out your lying tounge or Mistah J will be disappointed! He needs a good laugh."
OOC:The grenades don't have that much power yet fyi and they were flying under the table, not over it.
**Luckily Jougo is used to his own explosions. He only slightly winced as the force washed over him, smiling as the one near him caught the table on fire (assuming it's flammable) and the other one hit the wall behind him causing that to catch fire (assuming it's flammable). It must be hard to aim at someone you can't see Jougo thought.
Hoping Akane will be able to distract Jabril long enough to not help his guard, who might already be on fire, Jougo double cast Grenade again and launched them at the driver.
While this should be distracting the driver Jougo pulls out his dark dagger and stabs from a shadow under the table to a shadow on the driver looking to cause a deep wound. He then puts the dagger back in void after the stab.**
Neither caught on fire, solid mahogany is not flammable to the extent that a grenade so weak it would barely blow someones hair back will catch ablaze. Tired of this charade, Jabril sent both grenades flying up into the ceiling, along with Jugo. He was about to crash head first into solid stone. Before his partner could reach Jabril, the driver seemed to be charging in the airborne woman's direction with great speed and force, clearly with enough power to launch her body into the nearest wall and perhaps through it.
Jougo, realizing that for now the joke was on him, braced himself as he hit the ceiling. He hit hard enough that the wind was knocked from him and his body was hurting. Instead of fighting back, he feigned complete unconsciousness. Curious to the punchline of this joke...
They collided mid-air with Akane having just enough time to turn and face the driver before they hit. When they landed against the wall, she giggled, her head spinning from the impact. "If yah wanted to be on top, Mistah, all you had to do was ask." Amused, she fell limp, dazed from the impact. Then, in one last joke, she moved her hand to the flower on her chest and aimed to squirt harmless water into the driver's eyes...then she moved the flower to her void-space for safe-keeping.
The driver took note to club Akane over the head while Jabril figured he should use his same magics to send Jougo crashing back into the floor, apparently neither man liked it when their plants didn't work out exactly as prescribed.
**With his final burst of movement before going unconscious, Eizen rolls over Golan as though he is trying to steal the bowls on the other side. He really steals+voids Golan's peacekeeping badge, which he does intend to give back later. If both he and Golan survive this, anyway. Safer in his hands than Jabril's. Eizen almost reaches the other bowls as well. Almost.**
