¨¨¨¨¨&&¨&& 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 &&¨&&&¨¨&&
¨&¨&¨&&&¨& may take weeks to fill. ¨¨&&¨¨&¨&¨

&&¨&¨¨&&&¨ 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 ¨¨&&¨¨¨&¨&
¨¨&¨¨¨¨¨¨& to move around the body (if so &¨&¨&¨¨&&&
&¨&&¨¨¨¨¨& inclined). &&&&&&¨&¨¨

¨&¨&¨¨&¨¨& ¨ seven spoons ¨ &&&¨¨¨&&¨&

¨¨¨¨¨&&¨&& 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 &&¨¨¨&&¨&&
¨¨&&¨¨&¨&& water. &¨&¨¨&¨&&¨

&&¨¨¨&&&¨& is intermittent thought sharing with ¨¨¨&&&¨¨¨¨
&¨&¨¨&¨¨&& sober persons (although &¨¨&¨¨&¨¨¨

¨¨&¨¨&¨&¨¨ ^ dangers ^ ¨&&&¨&¨&&&
&¨&&¨&&&&¨ ^^^^^^^^^^^ ¨&¨¨&&&&¨¨
&&&¨&&¨¨¨& ¨&&¨&¨¨¨&¨
&¨¨&&¨&¨¨& 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 &¨¨¨¨&&¨¨¨
&¨¨¨&¨¨¨&& their thoughts long after their bodies ¨&¨¨¨&¨&¨¨
&&¨¨&&¨¨&¨ are dead and gone. &&&¨¨&&&&¨
