Offerings
Jin keeps a rotating supply of exciting consumables and is always on the lookout for new inventory to add. They accept trades, currency, and bones as payment (see conversion chart for exchange rates). Specializes in substances that work on both magic and nonmagic beings.
Dream MossAn algae-like substance "cultivated by sea-nymphs in the deepest trenches of the ocean and dried under the full moon" into a scrunched up nugget of purple-green fractal crystal. Puts the user into a comatose state in which they experience vivid lucid dreams. Good for burnt-out mages and anybody who needs spiritual replenishment, or a break from reality. If you slept any better than this, you'd never wake up!
Consumed through vaporization or as a tea.
Duration: Immediate onset if vaporized, takes 10-20 minutes for tea to set in. Lasts 6-8 hours.
Side Effects: Salty taste in mouth. Deja Vu.
Warning: Do not combine with Pixie Dust*. Do not operate carriages or sailing vessels while using Dream Moss. Talk to your doctor if you experience existential depression or have an uncontrollable urge to walk into the ocean.
Cost: 50 Silver for a vial of one effective dose.
Pixie Dust"The Bard's Best Friend" - Now ethically sourced! A sparkling iridescent powder contained in a convenient paper straw. Just tear, pour, and snort! Gives the user a boost of playful, creative energy that improves imaginative thinking, generates feelings of wellbeing, and decreases interpersonal inhibition. Good for parties!
Nasally or laced into smokable.
Duration: Immediate Onset. Lasts 1-2 hours.
Side Effects: Increased talkativity. Dry mouth.
Warning: Do not combine with Dream Moss*. Do not use if pregnant- may result in changeling baby. Use for more than 12 consecutive hours will result in burnout. WARNING: Long term habitual use of Pixie Dust can result in excessive pun usage.
Cost: 25 silver for a single dose.
Candy EyesDonut-shaped hard candies in a whole rainbow of flavors and effects, contained in a roud tin reminiscent of a painter's palette. Jin is suspiciously secretive about what each flavor does, but is happy to make recommendations. Are you brave enough?
Consumed orally.
Duration: Onset delayed by 20-30 minutes. Peak effect lasts 10 minutes realtime.
Side Effects: ???
Warning: ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE.
Cost: 15 gold for a tin of 12 (2 of each flavor). 1 gold individually.
*Manic Pixie Dream DustNow look what you've done.For people who crave madness or don't pay attention to warning labels. The user will enter a waking dream (Or nightmare!) that they cannot escape from until the drug wears off. The combined upper/downer effects create a wibbly-wobbly body feel while they are free to move through their surroundings. The 'real world' is morphed to fit the mood and narrative of the dream. The pixie dust half of the combo means that the person will enter the vision with dangerous levels of exuberance and recklessness for the first couple of hours. The user may encounter beings usually hidden from the waking world, making them vulnerable to demons, djinn, fae, spirit doubles, shadow entities, and the like. The nature of the dream is highly dependent on the user's emotional state and surroundings.
Consumed via vaporization. Direct heat destroys the delicate Dream Moss, and consuming as a tea renders the pixie dust ineffective.
Duration: Immediate onset. Lasts 4-6 Hours.
Side effects: User may catch glimpses of beings in their peripheral vision for several weeks after.
Warning: Use only under the supervision of a licensed shaman. Using this combination may cause permanent damage to one's sanity.
