,,,,,,,,^~ 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 ^,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,^~ strong psychotropic effects. ~^,,,,,,,,

,^~***@### 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 *~^,,,,,,,

,,,,,^~*** ***~^,,,,,
,,,,,,^~** people are known to suffer injuries **~^,,,,,,
,,,,,,,^~* from being still in unfavourable *~^,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,^~ climates for too long, sometimes to the ~^,,,,,,,,

,,,,,,,,,, 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 @***~^,,,,
