.....&.&&. the honey materializes in vaccuums &&....&&&.
.......&&& within any labyrinthine space. the more .&&...&.&&
&......&.& folded and ambiguous, the faster it .&&&....&&
&&.......& emerges. the cavernous systems under .&.&&...&.
&&&......& the desert of kirugu serves this ...&&&....
&.&&...... purpose very well - the lizards use ...&.&&...
..&&&..... pumps to empty small boxes or jars of &....&&&..
..&.&&.... air, which then are left overnight and .&...&.&&.
....&&&... harvested the next day. ..&....&&&
&...&.&&.. ...&...&.&
&&....&&&. most spaces are somewhat mazelike, and &...&....&
.&&...&.&& it's not uncommon for lizards in kirugu &&...&...&
.&&&....&& veszelle city to keep a few jars (often .&&...&...
.&.&&...&. hanged from the ceiling in metal crowns .&&&...&..
...&&&.... made for this purpose). however, these .&.&&...&.

&...&&&..& sober (worth noting that the thoughts &......&.&
&&..&.&&.. are very fragmented and hard to &&.......&
.&&...&&&. decipher, unless you are at a similar &&&......&

...&.&&... thirst is one of the last senses to ...&&&...&
&....&&&.. restable after coming down, often gone &..&.&&...
.&...&.&&. for up to twenty four hours. at higher &&...&&&..
..&....&&& doses it's hard to move, even if you &&&..&.&&.
...&...&.& would remember drinking (which is also &.&&...&&&
&...&....& made harder by the attention focusing ..&&&..&.&
&&...&...& properties of the honey). ..&.&&...&
.&&...&... ....&&&..&
.&&&...&.. people are known to suffer injuries ....&.&&..
.&.&&...&. from being still in unfavourable ......&&&.
...&&&...& climates for too long, sometimes to the ......&.&&
&..&.&&... point of death. another danger is &.......&&
&&...&&&.. actually locomotion of the body... &&......&.
&&&..&.&&. walking around is still somewhat .&&.......
&.&&...&&& possible after losing sight, which have .&&&......
..&&&..&.& lead to seveal falls. additionally, .&.&&.....
..&.&&...& robberies of the intoxicated are common. ...&&&....
....&&&..& &..&.&&...
....&.&&.. lastly, albeit very rare, it's possible &&...&&&..
......&&&. to die of pure overdose (on the scale .&&..&.&&.
......&.&& of jars of honey) before being killed .&&&...&&&
&.......&& by thirst. there are rumors that this .&.&&..&.&
&&......&. leaves "ghosts", who will still share ...&&&...&
.&&....... their thoughts long after their bodies &..&.&&..&
.&&&...... are dead and gone. &&...&&&..
