spice melange
This is a tiny amount of orangeish powder -- a mysterious mix of mysterious spices, made even more mysterious by the mysterious digestive processes of a sandworm. One or more of those instances of "mysterious" should probably be replaced by "disgusting."
Type: usable
Cannot be discarded
(In-game plural: quantities of spice melange)
Drop Location
- Using a drum machine
- giant sandworm
When Used
|
| You pop the spice melange into your mouth and chew it up. You're thinking to yourself "self, this stuff has a surprisingly pleasant cinnamon taste to it," when suddenly your senses kick into overdrive.
There is an audible buzz as your metabolism speeds up and your consciousness expands. You become aware of every mote of air as it dances around you. Possible futures unfold before you. You especially like the ones where you're rich, famous and drunk. After a while, the more intense effects of the spice wear off. You wipe the drool off your chin and, invigorated and refreshed by the experience, resolve to get back to business. |
Notes
- Removes 3 drunkenness and 3 fullness.
- Implemented on July 4, 2008, with the announcement "Giant sandworms now have drops, including a cool and rare new item. He who controls it controls the universe!"
- Only one may be used per day.
References
- The name of the item, and the remark in the announcement about controlling the universe, are, like the sandworms themselves, references to Frank Herbert's novel Dune.
- The usage of "You think to yourself, 'Self...'" in the context of a spice mixture is likely a reference to the chef Emeril Lagasse and his usage of the same phrase in his books.
