######¨¨## the honey is a reddish amber, very ##¨¨¨¨¨¨##
#####¨¨¨¨# viscous (but still pourable). it smells #¨¨####¨¨#
####¨¨##¨¨ slightly of eucalyptus, and has a ¨¨¨¨##¨¨¨¨
¨##¨¨¨¨¨¨# mostly bitter taste. ¨##¨¨¨¨##¨
¨¨¨¨####¨¨ ¨¨¨¨##¨¨¨¨
###¨¨##¨¨¨ it's highly addictive, and possess ¨##¨¨¨¨###

¨##¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨####¨¨

########## ¨ one spoon ¨ ##########

########## the drug is used by the lizards in ##########
########## these small (but often continuous) ##########
########## doses. this heightens the senses ##########
########## somewhat but at the cost of a lessened ##########
########## ability to multi-task - context ##########
########## switching might take longer and be more ##########
########## confusing. ##########
########## ##########
########## ##########
########## ¨ four spoons ¨ ##########
########## ¨¨¨¨¨ ##########
########## multitasking becomes very hard (the ##########
########## thought does not occur). senses more ##########
########## acute but "unimportant" (ignored). ##########
########## inner perceptions take the upper hand, ##########
########## abstraction and memory faculties are ##########
########## sharpened severely. slight telepathy ##########
########## (mostly moods) with other honey eaters. ##########
########## sense of thirst dissappears. still easy ##########

########## inclined). ##########

########## the honey eater becomes unresponsive to ##########
########## normal stimuli, but able to override ##########
########## their own senses with dreamlike ##########
########## imagery. sharing of thoughts with other ##########
########## eaters, mood reading of those who stay ##########
########## sober (worth noting that the thoughts ##########
########## are very fragmented and hard to ##########
########## decipher, unless you are at a similar ##########
########## level of spoons). at this point the ##########
########## body is hard to move, and starts losing ##########

########## ##########
########## most deaths are due to loss of water - ##########
########## 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 ##########
