shadowmodsWell, since everyone seems to be settling in nicely to Thurisaz, it's time to introduce a little bit of chaos for you.
As you know by now, pretty much any vice imaginable is available to you in the city: Sex, fighting, drum circles, you name it. But, your characters will quickly learn that there is a new vice in town. It's name? Flash!
Err...no. Not that Flash.
Flash is the latest and greatest in illegal and addictive substances. It's a white liquid, about the color and consistency of milk. Getting high is simply a matter of putting a drop or two with an eye dropper into each eye. And how does one feel on Flash? Stronger, faster, more energized. It's amazing on the sex life and if you're a fighter or a pilot or in desperate need to be quick on your feet, Flash is a surefire way to get the edge...
...with the slight problem of the crash. After three or four hours, as you come down from that high, you become irritable, cranky, peckish, and experience an extremely elevated heart rate. And things only get worse if you overdose. Then you're violent, aggressive, and insatiably hungry, plus you're at an extreme risk of heart failure. Oh, and you start bleeding from the eyes.
There is no medical or magical way to bring someone down off of a Flash high. As for treating an overdose, the best cure, as Hesiod's followers will tell you, is to simply lock that person in a room and wait for them to calm down. Or club them over the head. You can recognize someone high on Flash by the change in their eye color:
Ew, right?
So that is Flash for you. Readily available for reasonably low rates, all throughout the city of Thurisaz. Feel like getting your character high? Addicted? Use this post to plot things out.
