• Mature • Trying Some Reevi

[Eternity]

Vhalar 2 722

Not too long ago, Eternity had her first experience with recreational drug use. She’d purchased some reevi and had decided to eat it raw instead of smoking or cooking it. The end effect had been that she didn’t experience any high whatsoever, as the drug requires elevated heat to activate the “good stuff”. Eternity knew none of this so she found herself back at a shady alley arguing with the drug dealer.

“You sold me bad drugs. They didn’t even work!” she hissed. She wasn’t so upset that she’d wasted money, she was more annoyed at her own incompetence and was looking for anyone to blame rather than herself.

“No, I wouldn’t do that to you miss. Tell me how you used them and I’ll see if I can help.” The merchant bore a frown on his face but one could tell that he had experience dealing with this sort of customer. It was hard to be afraid of Eternity because she wasn’t intimidating in the slightest. Even with her face contorted in anger she was still a thin woman who didn’t look capable of doing any harm. It helped that the drug dealer was over six feet tall.

“I ate them like you said I could,” Eternity went on.

“Did you cook them? I specifically said you could cook it. If you don’t do that then it doesn’t work.”

“Of course I cooked them! Do I look like an idiot?” Eternity lied. Unfortunately she was a terrible liar and her expression gave her away. Her look of anger turned to one of dreadful guilt.

“Cooked them? How exactly,” The man pressed.

“I uh, I put them in a soup,” Eternity poorly improvised. She thought she had the man in checkmate but he smirked.

“Alright, well if you put them in a soup then the effects are diluted across the whole soup and you’d have to drink a lot of it to get it to work. What’s this really about anyway. I don’t believe for a second that you thought to cook them in a soup, that’s the silliest idea I’ve ever heard. Nobody could be that dense.” The drug dealer sighed and wondered if Eternity was just the type of customer to complain about bad product just to weasel out some extras.

Eternity didn’t have a good comeback. She stood there awkwardly and her attitude quickly cooled off. “I honestly did not feel any effects,” she said, which was the truth. “What’s it going to take to get some more so I can try it right this time?”

“It’d take money. If you want more powerful stuff it’ll cost more too.” He waved to the wall full of various different herbs.

“And if I’ve got no money, is there some other way I could pay?” Eternity asked.

“Heh, like what you want to sweep the floors?” said the drug dealer, "I don't exactly have a store for you to clean."

“No, I thought I’d let you take me out on a date. I’m good company you know,” Eternity said sarcastically. She didn’t think he was her type in the slightest but it wasn’t like she had anything better to do today.

“Yeah, a date huh? That’s exactly what I need, a date with a crazy woman with a temper who’s so clueless she boils drugs.” The man elevated his voice.

“Oh so I’m not good enough for you? I’ll have you know that I am a highly sought after woman!” Eternity said back even more loudly.

“So what, you a whore or something? This is probably the worst marketing I’ve ever seen.” He scoffed, “And no, I’m afraid that’s not going to be an acceptable form of payment. You have to pay with coins, that’s all I’ll accept.”

Eternity was angry again. She’d just made the date offer as a joke but the drug dealer had taken it seriously and basically called her a whore. She wanted nothing more than to walk over and push him over and knock down all his fancy herbs but she knew that there was no chance she was strong enough for that. She said, “no, I’m not a whore, but thanks for that. No need to get all mean. Alright I’ll pay for some more, let’s just get this over with.”

Eternity made it out of there with a small bit of reevi, which she’d begrudgingly paid for. She hated that drug dealer so much that she would have just stolen the drug had she known how to identify it. She recalled the large sack he held how she couldn’t tell any of them apart. She then thought about how she was going to go about cooking the reevi. She didn’t know how to cook, this was how she’d gotten into this mess in the first place. She had totally forgotten to ask the man how to smoke the drug but she didn’t want to go back and talk to him ever again.

“I wonder if a chef would cook with this stuff if I ask them to, probably best not to risk it if this stuff is illegal,” Eternity said to herself as she spotted a restaurant not too far away. She walked in and smelled meat cooking which was just perfect. She ordered some food and when it came she stealthily put on the Reevi and hoped that it would be enough to cook the drug a little. Eternity munched on tender pork belly that had a strange aftertaste to it. It wasn’t bad by any means but it was very noticeable. She spent a good half hour or so at the restaurant eating her fill of other foods that suited her fancy before deciding to get on with her day.

“Now what was I supposed to do again? Oh yes, I was supposed to meet up with the trainer at the gym. Which way was that again?” Eternity noticed how hard it was to focus on multiple things at once. Even standing felt like a new sensation as the reevi’s effects hit her in full force.

“This way then,” she said, not even remembering where she was headed. She walked down the road for what had to be a whole break. She got easily distracted by things that were happening around her. She observed people going about their day and before she could formulate a proper thought something else would distract her. It wasn’t until she reached a park that she wondered why she was here and not at the gym. The thought of circling back around to the gym popped into her mind so that’s what she did. This time she remembered to stop at the gym before going in.

Eternity had long since missed the appointment she’d had with the trainer, who was now too busy with his next appointment to give her any attention. Eternity felt bad about wasting the man’s time and especially bad that she had already paid for it in advance. She was left to do some exercises on her own. She made her way to a secluded area of the gymnasium and did all sorts of made-up stretches. She extended each limb and tried pressing on them in weird ways because the drug made her sensations feel funny. She also did some push ups. Those were the only proper strength building exercise that she knew how to do properly so she did as many of them as she could before lying flat on the ground in exhaustion.

She didn't spend that much time at the gym because she felt self conscious. She didn’t want to get called out for doing illegal drugs so she went back home to continue her workout. “This isn’t so bad,” she thought. “I’m so easily distracted I can’t even focus on how tired I am.” She giggled to herself because she thought her observation was hilarious. She kept giggling and went back to her pushups using very poor form. Then she thought about how silly she would have looked to people at the gym. Eternity went back to her pushups, which she couldn’t really do any more of but she still tried. She would only get a few inches off the ground but her mind told her that she’d actually pushed herself all the way up.

The effects of the drugs lasted for many hours. Eternity did a lot of cleaning and a lot of nonsensical thinking. She even took a walk around her neighborhood. When she got home she was somehow content with just sitting on a chair and looking out the window at the foot traffic outside. Before she knew it the sky was not so bright and she felt cold because she’d forgotten to keep the fire going. When the high finally subsided she finally realized just how much of an idiot she’d been. Also, the pain in her chest from doing all those bad-form pushups was finally becoming apparent. She didn’t care though. She felt as calm as ever, and giddily happy to do it all over again soon.
