EUPHORIC EXPANSION
By Jaye Hayes
For years, Euphoria was only obtainable in liquid form, distributed in glass or plastic vials—but times have changed. Within the last few months, several new variations of this illicit pleasure drug have been introduced. While the liquid option still appears to be the most go-to choice for users, here are some interesting alternatives:
Pills
Liquid gel pills are now being distributed. Though the liquid inside the gelatin shell is absorbed rapidly, it does take a bit longer to kick in. On a positive note, those who want smaller doses can just take one pill—but if you’re looking for the same dosage that a full liquid vial offers, then you’re likely going to have to take about two or three.
Lick-Its
Euphoria is applied to small squares of paper, sometimes decorated with cartoonish imagery, which the user can lick. The substance is then absorbed into the tongue. This is the weakest form of Euphoria (“weak” being relative, considering E’s the strongest pleasure drug available), but serves as an excellent gateway for novices to experiment with the substance.
Inhalants
Administered via a special inhaler, the chemical vapors enters the body through inhalation. This method is the newest and not widely used at present.
Autoinjector
A full dosage of Euphoria, contained within an autoinjector, which can be injected intravenously into the bloodstream. Some users have already been doing this with liquid Euphoria (via traditional syringes)—regardless, not a common method of taking the drug.

We know euphoria’s powerful stuff, so now comes the million dollar question: was that enough to do the trick? Or does she still need more stimulation?
I think she needs more stimulation but she’s exhausted and Bellanie will need to help her out.
Given that her eyes are either closed or obscured by her hair in all three panels, it’s impossible for the casual observer to know if her eyes have fully reverted to blue.
I’ll remain hopeful that you’re correct and that we’ll be treated to more of Salaiix’s wonderful, detailed panels. [And fingers crossed that the panels include exquisite drawings of Bellanie giving Madison a “helping hand” or fingers or tongue or…]
Hmmm, kinda like, Madison forgot what the big “O” is like.
I wonder… if this is the beginning of an addiction
Knowing Madison her gym will need to restock on punching bags several times during the withdrawal stage. Anybody asking questions would only volunteer as a punching bag.
Seriously, one incredible page after another.
Will Madison be okay?
Or will she need more “stimulation”?
We will have to wait and see.
The ‘petite morte’ might have saved her from the ‘grande morte’ ?
