...~~^^%¶@ the honey is a reddish amber, very @¶%^^~~...
..~~^^%¶@# viscous (but still pourable). it smells #@¶%^^~~..
.~~^^%¶@## slightly of eucalyptus, and has a ##@¶%^^~~.
..~~^^%¶@# mostly bitter taste. #@¶%^^~~..
...~~^^%¶@ @¶%^^~~...

..~~^^%¶@# 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 ##@¶%^^~~.

...~~^^%¶@ 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 #@¶%^^~~..

..~~^^%¶@# ..... #@¶%^^~~..
.~~^^%¶@## 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 @¶%^^~~...
..~~^^%¶@# their thoughts long after their bodies #@¶%^^~~..
.~~^^%¶@## are dead and gone. ##@¶%^^~~.
