The one written by Akiri Toriyama, the Manga, yes. I'm fairly certain he does bite him at one point, though.

Ah hell, I wouldn't put it past him.

Dude eats like a truck, or eats trucks, probably both.

@Darcs

First of all, unobserved carnivores in the wild is exactly the appropriate term to describe the women I've met.
Secondly, I saw the cameo :P
Thirdly, I saw the breaking bad pun.

I see. What you did. All over there.

I really really want to describe Castalia meth as being blue but I think that might be taking it too far...

@Darcs Feels way more appropriate for castalia meth to be gold.

One more day on Jon's post.

Got caught up helping my roommate for the most of tonight.

Did get some collab done though. It's looking good.

All gold errything

I'd actually consider trying golden meth, like, that's Charlie Sheen level drug use-- reserved only for real blue blooded narcotic connoisseurs.

Although, chemically speaking, it'd probably just be an incredibly expensive numbed down high. Since gold is one of those metals that can freely interact with the inside of the human body without being rejected, all being golden and presumably sprinkling gold flakes in the product would do is lower the amount of actual meth you deliver to your system. Still, there's always the social high you can get from bragging about it, and I imagine, just like with any of the LOADS of golden things rich people eat on a daily, there's this huge placebo bonus high you get from it. Because it's as fucking golden as Ponyboy and YOU'RE consuming it.

So yeah. Gold meth. Adding that one to the ol' bucket list, I guess.



As far as the RP goes though-- that'd be hella expensive. They'd need ins with any gold mines, which I mean, maaaybe in the Aqueon mountains? Because like, the Castalia's don't do deals with the Forsaken, at least not to Lucania's knowledge. So it'd need to be an Aqueon mine, they'd need to have an in, which is admittedly possible since they're allies with the Yakuza...

But then they'd ALSO need to either have an in with one of the towns that processes gold (and other metals! Because, like, if they were in on the metal game, it'd totally have to be for more than drug ego, gotta make those bullets to stay outta the red!) OR their own, like... you know? Those places they melt metals? Where Vladimira grew up? They'd need their own private one if they weren't doing deals with towns.

Which , I mean, that all seems implausible. They do have ins with pawn shops and jewelry stores, so they COULD do that for gold, but then how much scavenged and newly made golden jewelry exists in Dust? Buying and/or taking jewelry from Castalia protected and run stores-- is deff more likely than them having stakes in a mine, but it'd only be less expensive in the short term.

Long term wise, they'd be using POUNDS of golden jewelry a day. They'd still need to melt it down or shave it into flakes, which is expensive, and when you consider how little scavenged golden jewelry there must be in Dust, how little demand there must be for new new golden jewelry to be made, and how slowly that all makes its way into Castalia stores in Motum Diversum (buying from Aqueous Yakuza is just an unneeded expense) then you realize how easily that'd drive up the market price for gold. It'd be a hella expensive business venture in the long term.

They'd THEN need to convince those Gaen scientists in their employ to use gold, one of the best metals for the types of experiments that live for, in the drugs that are basically just their rent to the Castalias...

THEN they'd be the problem of market value! I mean, sure, people still like gold, I doubt the gold standard would be DEAD after 400 years underground where the money once based off of gold is worthless, but like... I don't know-- only the educated and rich are going to see value in golden meth, average bikers looking for crank aren't going to CARE if it's golden, they couldn't afford what you'd be charging for-- all those deals made, all that labor, and the inherent value in gold that would be debated in Dust at best and outright denied by some poorer people who live by the gun-- selling it for cheaper would be cheating yourself multiple ways. Because then you'd be selling all the work that went into it short and DESTROYING the reason the niche market of rich people WOULD pay full market value for it. And even if you did throw caution to the wind and sell it cheaper, you'd need to sell more in greater quantities just to break even, which would itself incur even more 'hush-hush' payments to the Wings, more travel expenses, and more unnecessary risk.

I mean, chemically speaking you SHOULD sell lower, since you're technically chemically selling what is basically watered down meth. But I guess I already explained how I see the social benefits out weighing it...

You could sell cheapo crank to those who can afford it and reserve the gold stuff for rich people (they couldn't be educated though, or they'd see that it's a scam). It's an incredibly niche market, and you'd be working even harder to sell. Since it'd pretty much be ONLY the Motum Diversum elite-- it's not like the Castalias can sell to the Aqueon 1%, not without incurring WAY more fees than it's worth from the Yakuza.

So THEN it's a matter of 'Are there enough stupid, rich people-- most likely with heavy political connection or politicians themselves-- who will pay full price for golden meth-- and not sell me out-- to make a profit with this?'

The Castalias are gamblers, sure, but they ain't stupid.

(Well, Big Devil is, but he isn't in the leadership)

So yeah. Golden meth is a stillborn venture. Maaaybe golden angel dust might work?

I mean, unless you mean they dye it gold, or something. But then wouldn't it kinda look like frozen pee?

#postironicoveranalysis

• Obtain Regular, but high/low quality Meth
• Use Chemical or Plant extract to color it gold

B-but there's no known plant extract that you could dye the liquid meth with, that would keep it's golden pigment when it became glass! And the only safe chemical WOULD be some form of gold, there's just no plausible way to do this inexpensively--



!!!

Welp, today I learned. O-okay, I guess Castalian Gold is a thing now?

Yay gold meth?

Still thinking about it too hard.

It's a post apocalyptic fantasy roleplay. Can't we just have a mutant plant with golden blood that stains glass and smells like lavender?

But also, science. So, whatever.

Castalian Gold, is a thing. Believe it.

I have cracked the code. Darcs is secretly a drug dealer. Who else would know all of this stuff, or even bother to think about it? <.<

@kapuchu
HA HA HA WOW, REALLY FUNNY JOKE, KAPU

*shifts eyes*

@kapuchu @Aeonumbra

Actually I found it quite engaging.

Wake up sheeple.

@Callthecops

Clearly it refers to the .303 British round.

Obviously the British Empire is going to come and try to conquer Dust with their Lee-Enfields.

@kapuchu

Clearly the British Empire is the Combine.

@Darcs

Bravo, bravo.

Hey guys, I'm gonna have to say that for the moment, I will not be participating in this roleplay. It's for no reason other than my basic loss of motivation to write right now. I hope that my spot will be open for me to come back should I choose, but if it's not that's understandable. You guys are a great bunch of Roleplayers, and Ae I really love and appreciate your commitment to make up for Deadlands dying so early, but I just cannot find it in me to force myself to do this. I hope you guys will understand. I'll try my best to keep up with this as it progresses, as you guys have already set an impressive stage of events in motion. Love you guys.

~Cordell

P.S Ae,bid you want, I still might be able to work with you on what we discussed for the Immortal Order before hand, if need be.

@Darcs

The missiles are on their way to your house. Everyone you know will die mysteriously. You should not have revealed the truth.
