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.

Wait. Empath.
He only has to glance up to confirm, seeing the tips of her antennae glowing softly. Whatever she knows now, he doesn't really want to know - it's more important to push her away, taking a few steps back to ensure that she knows without a doubt not to approach him. His expression has turned from gentle and passive to cold and sullen, as he lights a cigarette with the snap of his fingers.]
no subject
Dodger... I am sorry. I could not control it.
[She feels guilty. She should have known, noticed what was happening and stopped it, but she was having so much fun, and she was still not used to having to be so careful. Her powers are more and more proving to be a liability when it comes to making friends.
She wants to say something to him, ask why he feels so conflicted, where his pain comes from, and why he feels so much loss... but she does not wish to make him angry, and she worries he is already.]
no subject
You didn't know. Just don't do it again.
[That second part comes out forceful and harsh, as he fills the room slowly with the smell of smoke. After a few moments of sulking, he just walks past her to shut the music off and sit on the floor with his back against the wall. After another moment of hesitation, he pats the spot beside him.]
C'mere. Just don't touch me. Alright?
no subject
Okay...
[She doesn't flinch back at his harsh tone, that she is used to (though it is new from Dodger), but she does flinch a little when a stream of smoke dances in her nose's direction. She is not used to that, and it is different, but she does not hate it. Mostly, it tickles.
She hesitates to join him when the music stops, but Mantis eventually walks slowly to the chosen wall and slides down to perch beside him.]
I will not touch you again. [Her promise is as sincere as she can manage as her head dips, and her guilt lingers.] Your emotions are very complicated.
