Lampyr is Here for You.
If anyone missed his commercial, or simply didn't want to respond to it, they may instead find his second marketing scheme. Around the city, usually hidden in alleyways, you may find a small display similar to sample trays in grocery stores. Each has a sign that says "DRINK ME" in a bright neon color, which matches the covered trays of drinks below it. Sketchy? Absolutely, but curiosity may take the better of you... or maybe you read the inscription on the table siting the tempting results of the liquid.
RED - ENRAGED LAMPYR: Feel as strong as an ox! Filled with bravery and fighting spirit! Defeat your foes without giving them a chance!
ORANGE - HONEST LAMPYR: Open up your inner emotions! Come to terms with startling truths! Share with others to learn their deepest secrets!
YELLOW - FEARFUL LAMPYR: Enhance your adrenaline! Give yourself goosebumps or share with enemies for a frightful surprise! Raise the stakes of night-time hide-and-seek!
GREEN - ENVIOUS LAMPYR: Test your social safety! Learn the intentions of others! Share with friends and lovers to learn their honest opinion of you!
BLUE - GRIEVING LAMPYR: Strengthen your bonds! Open the depths of your feelings! Instigate attachment with others!
PURPLE - AFFECTIONATE LAMPYR: Let go of your reservations! Accustom yourself with touch and social comfort! Become cuddly!
Each display also features a very crude drawing of a firefly showing the appropriate emotion, although it looks like a kindergartener drew it. One of these days Dodger will have to hire an artist. While your character will not see Dodger initially, he is watching from a nearby hiding place and will come to observe and mess with them if they take a sample, to see the effects of the drink.
The drink tastes spicy, savory, sour, bitter, sweet and minty respectively, although not particularly good regardless. They all have an aftertaste like cough syrup. Obviously the effects don't exactly match up with the claims; they simply give you a very strong form of that emotion, which may lead to side effects. Bloodlust, impulsive truths, paranoid hallucinations, a compulsive need to check your importance to others, uncontrollable crying, or a lovedrunk, affectionate stupor are respectively the most common side effects. Though the effects are strong, they are significantly lessened within an hour (when they stop entirely is up to the player) and the character will never do anything they are morally against.
While Dodger will generally try to speak to anyone who has inadvertently become a test subject, feel free to make open top-levels for others to come across your character in an affected state. Please assume that Dodger is watching them during their exchange, though, and any information passed between them is now known by him.

I don't really want to forget that. It was scary and I was scared but...I appreciate you not continuing forward.
[ He hands the other his fork before he types something again. ]
I just hope that...one day I can take physical contact like that. But I still have a long way to go it seems.
no subject
[He's mostly picking at his food with his fork for a moment, his nerves quelling his appetite. But- hell, it can't be quelled for long, and he ends up eating fast enough that he'll probably end up with hiccups in a bit. It's all his nerves talking.]
no subject
It wasn't bad, no. I...wish I could touch you and other people without my gloves though. It would be...different I think. I can't remember the last time I touched something without them on.
no subject
I'm- not kidding about making it possible, I'm... trying out everything I can think of to fix it. But I figure the easiest thing is just... y'know. Pushing yourself, yeah?
[He hesitates a moment, and his shoulders slump.]
I know I've got... no idea what I'm doing here, but I figure it's worth it. To help you.
no subject
Yes you're right. Exposure therapy is really helpful.I guess I'm just...in a rush for it to work faster. But I know it's my fault and I haven't kept up with doing things to help myself.
[ But sometimes it's just so hard that he really can't. But he figures that's what Dodger and everyone else is here for. He gives Dodger a warm smile as he holds out his phone. ]
I'm really grateful towards you for helping me, Dodger. I don't think I would've even gotten this far if it weren't for you.
1/2
Dodger has always been starved for attention. He can't remember the last time someone thanked him for something he wanted to do, something he wanted to be proud of. He can't remember the last time someone made him feel... wanted, and appreciated, without doing something that blackened his heart a little more.]
2/2
You're just trying to make me blush.
[And it's working... his face is beet red, and it shows up so very brightly against his pale skin.]
no subject
I'm not you. [ Shigeru please?! But it's true. Dodger was always trying to make Shigeru blush. ]
I mean what I say when I say I'm grateful.
no subject
You don't have to be. Anyway, I told you not to thank me yet - not until I can actually touch you for more than thirty seconds.
no subject
Maybe you'll be able to sooner then we both think? I mean I at least hope that it can happen soon. I...really want to be able to do things that I can't normally do.
[ He sighs. It's so hard and difficult to shake off though. ]
