Drinks

Besides water, there are only a handful of drinks currently known to exist in the game's world, most of them being alcoholic or in other ways recreational, served at The Shining Pearl.

Rolli
Rolli is a sweet and bitter alcoholic drink prepared from various jungle fruits. It has a colour of honey and a rich foam and its smell is reminiscent of fresh bananas. It's not as popular as Meirolli due to its rougher and sweeter taste and lower alcohol content. It costs 4 Krats at The Shining Pearl.



Meirolli
Meirolli is a tangy, dry alcoholic drink made by refining Rolli. It has a tangy taste and it's richer in alcohol, giving its drinkers a stronger buzz. Like Rolli, it has a honey-like tint but it's not accompanied by the large amounts of foam. It costs 4 Krats at The Shining Pearl; the current batch is very watery though.

Obassinian Black
Perhaps a cruel joke for careless customers of Bykaas's who mix up their order of Obassinian Blue, Obassinian Black is a black jelly with white spots, smelling like rotting fruit and vinegar. Its already repulsive appearance is even worsened by its slimy consistency that contains sticky chunks, as if even the drink itself knew what's soon going to pass through its consumer's throat in the other direction. It costs 10 Krats to be offered this delicacy at The Shining Pearl.

When choosing to drink it, there are four sligthly different scenarios that can occur based on the player's will level. Below level 6, the player will vomit before even taking a proper sip. At levels 6 and 7, they will hurl after taking a sip, at level 8 and 9 they will actually manage to down the drink for a few seconds before also puking. Note that Bykaas won't be happy having to mop up the player's stomach's contents from the floor. Only the hardiest players with the level of will of 10 or higher manage to swallow and keep the drink inside, earning an approving nod from Bykaas. And nothing else, because what would a price for drinking black rotten mess even be?

Bitter water
Not much is known about bitter water but from the references to it by various characters, it seems to work as an effective post-coitus contraceptive. In other words, it's an unwanted pregnancy prevention / cure. How compatible it is with various species or what its possible side effects are is unknown. Some people however rely on other methods of avoiding pregnancy, like the difference in number of fingers on each other's hands. Bykaas sells it both as shots (on the house) and bottles (for 2 Krats for female player characters and 10 Krats for male characters).

"No, I don't think anyone likes drinking it. The word 'bitter' is there for a reason. I can't taste anything after a sip, completely numbs my mouths." -Bykaas

Ver Blood
A very sweet, fruity (and 'oddly cold') drink of green colour with bubbles suspended inside. It's named after a dangerous creature named the Ver. Nkaanmykiunsuns orders it for the player if they drank her poison, as an apology.
