@§&^~~~¨¨¨ within any labyrinthine space. the more ¨¨¨~~~^&§@

@§&^~¨¨¨¨¨ the desert of kirugu serves this ¨¨¨¨¨~^&§@
@&†~¨¨¨¨¨¨ purpose very well - the lizards use ¨¨¨¨¨¨~†&@
§&&^~~~~¨¨ pumps to empty small boxes or jars of ¨¨~~~~^&&§

##@§&^†~~¨ 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 ¨~~†^&§@@#
