#thought: screw texting my parents, but I should probably charge my phone while I'm still home. the sandwich is nice and portable, so save that for later. heat up some of the COLD PUMPKIN SOUP and get a glass of COLD JUICE, if any is left.

Scarecrow decides to drop the idea of texting his parents. It would be far more trouble than it's worth. He turns his phone back on though, and checks the battery level. The battery is at 95%; he only used it for about 45 minutes this morning. It should be fine without charging. He decides to leave it on in case anyone tries to contact him.

Instead, he decides to go back inside and get some sustenance. He begins to walk back to the KITCHEN, enjoying the after effects of the AYAHUASCA and paying attention to the subtleties of its effects. He feels hyper aware of every detail of every object without the need to focus, and hyper aware of the energy contained in every object at the same time. It was as though his sight was improved, made more vivid, and he was percieving the moods, even of normally inanimate objects, as subtle motion in objects. Everything was alive, just in varying degrees; from the wooden fence, to the trees and herbs in his GARDEN, to the birds flying above him.

After reaching the KITCHEN, he makes a beeline for the FRIDGE and takes out the COLD JUICE. There's enough for three more glasses. He pours himself one, and sculls it. Still thirsty, he pours another, but slows down on it this time. He has a few sips, then then returns the rest of the bottle to the fridge, and takes out the COLD PUMPKIN SOUP. There's enough for two servings. He takes a bowl out from a CUPBOARD, and pours one serving in, then heats it in the microwave while continuing to drink his juice. He's getting a bit sick of it; the COLD JUICE feels too acidic for his stomach in his current state. He usually just drinks water throughout the day, but because he already poured this, he continues to drink it anyway.

Soon the soup is ready, and Scarecrow eats it slowly. The PUMPKIN SOUP is delicious and warming. Eating it spreads a joyful sensation through his body, as though this had been exactly what it wanted to eat. It is easy to digest for his queasy stomach, and the warmth is rejuvenating. He hadn't realized it until now, but he had gotten quite cold after being motionless outside for so long.

After finishing his PUMPKIN SOUP and COLD JUICE, Scarecrow feels much better.

#thought I should open up my kit and see what's inside. It might contain refreshments.

There isn't even the slightest chance that there are refreshments inside his KIT, which is a metal cigarette tin adapted for drug storage, and is about the size of his SMARTPHONE.

Scarecrow checks its contents anyway, as he doesn't remember what's inside. It contains:
- SWISS CARD
- ROLLING NECESSITIES (ie. ROLLING PAPERS, SEGMENTS OF MANILA FOLDER)
- one gram of MARIJUANA in a GRAM BAGGIE
- half a gram of DMT in a GRAM BAGGIE
- two TABS OF LSD in a GRAM BAGGIE
- two CAFFEINE TABLETS in blister packaging
- several spare GRAM BAGGIES

Scarecrow smiles. His KIT is always a goldmine.

Scarecrow goes over recent events in his head. He needs to ABSORB POWER before RETURNING TO THE AYAHUASCA SPIRIT, and he can start doing that by FREEING DREW and then FREEING HIS PARENTS, but first he needs to BE WELL PREPARED. At the moment he doesn't even have any WATER. He should find his SICKLE also. He remembers leaving it in the GREENHOUSE. There might be some more USEFUL STUFF lying around the house, also.

Scarecrow is ALERT.
Scarecrow has drunk AYAHUASCA! He is coming down from a trip.
CHECKPOINT REACHED

#Thought: Enter "Scavenger" Mode and find that Sickle! Then get all the restorative herbs and put it in your kit. After that, continue to "Gotta get em' all" (The goodies in the garden)

#Thought: I might as well fill up my bottle with water while I'm in the kitchen. And while I'm inside I might as well check if there is anything I need in the living room or around the house.

#thought: I should go check my phone for any messages I may have gotten while I was in the kitchen

I'm surprised this hasn't been moved to the Writers' Lounge. Though, now that I think about it, it may have died from useless posts and spam.

#Thought: Take a bath and wash your face. Then call Drew to scout for info.

man, I had no idea you were such a good writer. this is one of the coolest threads I've ever seen here, thanks for all the effort you've put into it so far

#thought: I've never fought an archon before. maybe I should collect some CACTI while I'm in the greenhouse. being able to see a few moments into the future might come in handy, who knows what I'm up against?

#Thought: I'm pretty aware right now and should be able to feel some vibes from talking to Drew which could help in working out which dimension this Archon resides in, if calling him isn't enough I might have to pick some YOPO, DATURA and MUSHROOMS before visiting him.

Scarecrow is ALERT.
Scarecrow has drunk AYAHUASCA! He is almost sober, but still a bit more sensitive than usual.

#Thought: I'm pretty aware right now and should be able to feel some vibes from talking to Drew which could help in working out which dimension this Archon resides in, if calling him isn't enough I might have to pick some YOPO, DATURA and MUSHROOMS before visiting him.

Scarecrow pull out his SMARTPHONE and dials Drew's number. It phone rings a few times, then stops. Scarecrow takes his phone from his ear for a moment and looks at it, to see if he is actually in a call. He is.

"Hello?" he asks into the phone. Drew is notorious for not even bothering to say anything when he answers his phone.
"Hey man." Drew's voice answers.
"Dude, say something when you answer the phone."
"Whatever man, what's up?" he sounds distracted.
"Uh," Scarecrow hesitates. Drew probably wouldn't take him seriously if he told him everything about his morning over the phone. "Not a lot, I just had a crazy Ayahuasca trip."
"Nice." there's a distinct lack of energy in his voice.
"Yeah, I was wondering if you want to hang out or something. I have some crazy shit to talk about."
"Yeah, maybe." Zero enthusiasm.
Scarecrow waits for a moment, half expecting him to make up his mind.
"Is that a yes or a no?"
Drew sighs. "Yeah, I guess. I'm just playing skyrim at the moment though, so you might want to bring something to do."
"How about... psychedelics?"
"Didn't you say you already had Ayahuasca today?"
"Yes."
Drew laughs. "You're crazy man."
"You know me. Want some?"
"Hmm, nah, I don't really want to trip or anything. But you can come over and do that if you want a sitter or whatever."
"Sounds good man. I'm sure you'll do plenty of sitting."
"Oh I will."
There's a pause, and Scarecrow hears a soft bubbling noise, followed by a deep exhalation. Scarecrow laughs, but shakes his head at the same time.
"I'll see you soon then man, I just gotta do a few things and get my shit together."
"All right man that's cool see you soon." Drew sounds substantially higher than he had a moment ago.
Scarecrow hangs up.

It seems like the ARCHON influencing Drew might be DRAINING HIS ENERGY. Scarecrow thinks he might need something to BOLSTER HIS ENERGY to fight it. MUSHROOMS might do the trick. Another approach might be to CONVINCE DREW TO UNDERGO CLEANSING with IBOGA, but he seems uninterested in it.

Scarecrow goes out to the HERB GARDEN and gathers a dose of MUSHROOMS: P. SUBAERUGINOSA. He also visits the GREENHOUSE and gathers enough IBOGA ROOT BARK for two people, then spends some time powdering it with a mortar and pestle. He puts the IBOGA ROOT BARK POWDER in a baggie, and puts it in his KIT.

Scarecrow also gathers some YOPO and DATURA seeds from the GREENHOUSE on impulse, and puts these in his KIT too.

Scarecrow considers this for a moment. It sounds like a great idea... but Scarecrow remembers something important. CACTI contain TYRAMINE, which can be fatal if combined with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor like the CAAPI VINE. After consuming anything containing CAAPI VINE, Scarecrow should wait at least two days before ingesting anything with large amounts of TYRAMINE. Scarecrow has had an AYAHUASCA trip just today, so he decides to save the CACTI for another occasion.

#Thought: Take a bath and wash your face. Then call Drew to scout for info.

Before going anywhere, Scarecrow has a bath and washes his face on impulse. It NORMALIZES HIS CONSCIOUSNESS, sobering him up.

Now well prepared, Scarecrow decides that it's time to leave. Opening his front door, Scarecrow considers where he wants to go.

Currently available locations are:
DREW'S HOUSE, PARENTS' HOUSE, SUPERMARKET, PHARMACY, PUBLIC PARK

It's bright outside.

ooc: i'm glad you like it! this is one of the only creative things i've done in a while, so i'm having fun.

Thought: ONWARD, MEN! TO THE MALL! I mean Drew's house.

I'm not sure how Iboga is usually ingested , but I'm going to assume the powder can be prepared with cooking.

#Thought: Drew's being a bitch and doesn't want to go on a trip. So I can either convince him or go to the supermarket, pick up some food, and trick him into taking Iboga.

Quote from Scarecrow

ooc: holy shit no, Scarecrow would never even CONSIDER giving someone a psychedelic without their direct permission.

My bad. I skipped first day of Shamanism101.

#Thought: Chewing some Betel nuts on my way to Drew's place might be a good way of staying alert and ready for the fight with Drew's Archon.

#Thought: I might use that sickle on the Greenhouse if I fight against some Archon.
