Title: What have I done?
Post by: Unassuming Squid on April 07, 2011, 10:28:27 AM
I have come to tell you all my story in the hopes that you will take it as a warning. There are powers that humans were never meant to harness, and the tale I am about to tell is proof of that.

It started innocently enough. After I woke up at approximately 2 AM from falling asleep at my computer, I realized I had made no progress in writing the three-page essay that has a deadline of this Friday. Determined to spend as much time as I could in the following hours working on this essay, I came upon the idea that I should mix a beverage that would keep me awake for as long a period of time as possible. It was then that the seminal idea that brought about my current state formed in my mind:

"What would Utsuho make if she were in my position?"

In my sleep-deprived state, I was unable to second-guess such a drastic proposition and started up my Utsuho playlist, heading down to the kitchen where I was to make this horrible concoction.

As The crow of 'YATA' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29mcqCwsMqs) blared in my ears, I started boiling water and began examining what we had in the kitchen. I knew I would need coffee; that was an essential ingredient. Therefore, the first thing I did was open a bag of pecan-flavor coffee grounds and dumped a tablespoon of them into a mug. For the next step, I took a bag of cardamom tea (as it was the strongest tea I was aware that we had), tore it open, and dumped the contents on top of the black pile. Then I suddenly went mad with inspiration, adding a tablespoon of sugar, a bag of baked apple oatmeal, a bag of rich hot chocolate, and a tablespoon of cinnamon.

I should have known something was wrong when I heard this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at8cjnHd0-A#t=01m24s) the instant I set my eyes on the bottle of cayenne. But I didn't heed the warning fate had given me, and mad with desperation I dumped a tablespoon of the damned powder into the mixture. Finally the water boiled, and I poured it into the mug with a good helping of soy milk to try to alleviate the pain I was subconsciously aware was in my future. For some reason, perhaps to gauge the power of this abomination, I slipped a leftover candy cane over the rim. The thing now looked akin to a sulfur pit, and I stirred it cautiously as I made my way back to my computer, carrying two oranges as a countermeasure in case I found myself over my limits.

(http://i52.tinypic.com/1fe2l1.png)

Once I reached my desk, I started to have second thoughts. I wondered if this really was such a good idea, and the nagging reminder of the heap of pepper I had dumped in earlier replayed over and over in the back of my mind. The fact that the part of the candy cane that had been submerged was now half its previous diameter did nothing to alleviate my concern, though I quickly pushed that aside as a natural result of the boiling water and proceeded to take the first sip.

(http://i51.tinypic.com/2wgwuvl.png)

The first thing I was aware of was a sickly sweet taste. It actually tasted rather good, the cinnamon and chunks of baked apple providing a nice flavor alongside the pecan coffee. But then, a millisecond later, the kick of the cayenne hit my tongue like the sting of a scorpion. My concerns only grew stronger as I gagged on the liquid, but on the other hand, I was suddenly gripped by an intense feeling of power. I was fully alert and suddenly motivated to make progress, and I quickly took another drink, feeling the seductively painful sting once more.

(http://i51.tinypic.com/27y7edg.png)

As I continued working, upon another sip I became aware of the fact that, not twenty minutes after I had placed it in the mug, the submerged part of the candy cane was completely disintegrated. I had not even touched the sweet since I put it in; this was all the work of that damned concoction. Once I had reached the halfway point, I finally began feeling the truly adverse effects of my creation. My nose would not stop running, and I began feeling a stabbing pain behind my left eye. My right shoulder also began to ache, but I brushed that aside as nothing more than a flu sore and continued drinking and reading my sources for the paper.

I think it was a few minutes later that I finally realized just what I had done, though I had not yet accepted it. My obsession with the power this drink had given me brought me my own downfall as I was filled with so much energy that I could hardly focus. Finally, I had degenerated to the point where, when my mind should have been filled with thoughts of Louisiana's Black Confederate regiment, all I could think of were thoughts of burning and wondering about the properties of nuclear power. My chest and stomach ached by this point, and the stabbing pain behind my left eye had only grown in propensity. I wanted desperately to eat one of the citrus fruits I had brought for just this occasion, but the cry for greater power consumed my mind. I shunned the fruit that could have possibly saved me and instead turned to the very thing that was destroying me.

(http://i55.tinypic.com/1r6vpv.png)

By the time I reached the bottom, my state had deteriorated to the point where I had started to develop an urge to collect shiny objects, I started to wonder if an eye was emerging from my chest, and I was seriously afraid of looking in the mirror for the fear that I would see trefoils in my irises. As I stared into the sludge at the bottom of my mug (previously a rather inviting brown color, but now a cold, heartless mess of pitch-black darkness), I truly came to accept the horrible effects of this power I had discovered. I began to debate with myself over what I should do with this sin against mankind. Throwing it away or flushing it down the toilet was considered, but the nagging possibility that some helpless creature would come upon it and become consumed by the same madness that I had brought upon myself ate at my conscience. I think it was the fact that what was left of my candy cane had fallen into the mess that caused me to make my final decision.

As the final song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCadoxspcFg) on my Utsuho playlist started playing, I accepted my fate and determined to save my inanimate, U-shaped companion. I grabbed hold of the mug, brought the rim to my lips, and choked down the offending sludge.

The next few moments were unbearable. All the worst of the concoction had condensed at the bottom, creating a mess of bitter sweetness and vile, stinging spice. My stomach screamed at me to stop, that it wasn't worth it, that I shouldn't destroy myself further just for the sake of a tasty bend of sweetness, but I was too far gone. In my last moments, before my soul and words exhausted themselves and turned to ash, I determined that I would never do such a hideous thing again, and prayed that whatever force lay witness to this would one day forgive me.

I have since eaten those two oranges, and the burning taste of radioactive pain has since left my mouth. But my body has not yet recovered, and only half a page of this essay has been written in the two hours since I started. I succeeded in my goal of creating the ultimate power, but I was overconfident. Humans were not meant to control this power, and I am here to warn you of this. I have named the offending elixir that I discovered the Caffeine of the Black Sun, and like Utsuho's consumption of the Yatagarasu, it is an experience that should never be repeated.

I actually couldn't taste the tea at all while I was drinking it, probably because I had about twice as much of every other individual ingredient covering it. The tea pretty much just served as an added caffeine source rather than a flavor.

One thing I noticed after the initial crash of my mental facilities was that the rush of motivation and energy returned about an hour after finishing the whole drink. So it seems like the first few minutes cause an energy rush, then as you consume it further there's a rapid deterioration of the senses. Then, after you finish and let it digest for an hour or so, there's a greater burst of energy. So I may have succeeded in my goal, I just had to go through hell first to get there. I'll have to wait and see how long it lasts before I start feeling tired.

Now all you need to complete the experience is a Gwahaha or two.  :]

Ahahahahahaha no. One hideous chimera of food is enough for one year.

I am simultaneously impressed and disgusted, and confess once again that my rather weak stomach lacks the fortitude to digest this or a gwahaha.

Ah, reminds me of the time I made 4 double strong coffee shots and drank it all to stay awake, I slept after some time but I did wake up feeling energized. I should try your recipe, maybe it will help me for those times I need to stay awake.

Also, I love cayenne pepper.

Squid, you are officially a hero.

Speaking of odd concoctions, I do remember making an "Elixir" out of chocolate drink, Skyflakes, powdered Grahams, two squares of Loacker, and some hot butter. Consuming it made me feel like I just ate 3 plates of hotel buffet items, downed 2 glasses of milk and chased it all down with a bowl of assorted fruits, all within 15 minutes. Gotta try it again, maybe replace breakfast entirely with just that.

and what's a gwahaha?
Title: Re: What have I done?
Post by: Hanzo K. on April 07, 2011, 01:35:46 PM
Ooh, I'll have to try this.

According to what I've heard, the gwahaha is some kind of monstrous sandwich with an unimaginable ingredient list.

Both of these are going on my list of things to try when i get bored and hungry.
Who cares if it puts me through hell, as long as I have a blast while doing it!
Afterall, I'm known among my family as the "Mad Scientist of The Kitchen".
When folks see me heading for the kitchen, they facepalm, because they know I'm going to be up to my old tricks again.

Three-hours-later update.

Since my last post, the pain behind my left eye has gone completely. My heart rate has gone up a good deal, and my head and chest are feeling somewhat constricted. Aside from that and some waning back pains, however, there haven't been many further adverse effects, and I've been alert this whole time. Almost finished the paper, too.

So far I would say this was a success. If I can find a way to remove the period of oh god why between energy spurts, then I think I might have a viable recipe for all-nighters.

And remove the cayenne. That was a horrible, horrible idea.

I was following you up until
Quote
the first thing I did was open a bag of pecan-flavor coffee grounds and dumped a tablespoon of them into a mug. For the next step, I took a bag of cardamom tea (as it was the strongest tea I was aware that we had), tore it open, and dumped the contents on top of the black pile.

and then I serious'd. What the hell, dude. If I were your stomach I would have slammed the esophagus shut in protest. You're right that this is entirely too much power for a mere mortal to contain. You're lucky to be alive.

Having said that, this is indeed a fitting drink for Utsuho. The reason why I like her character is she is a great example of the embodiment of ambition. I can see her telling her grandkids, "Yes, that's right, once upon a time grandma was just an ordinary ol' crow. But I wasn't about to settle for that and neither should you. That's why I insist on making you kids doing housework for your allowance."

The story of Utsuho doesn't teach us ambition is bad, but it certainly doesn't teach us that it's good. What it does teach us, though, is that it changes you forever. And that it will have residual effects on people around you, even people you don't know, that can cause major catastrophes.

This drink gives us a similar lesson. Who knows what sort of hell you have unleashed elsewhere in the world by drinking it? Only time will tell.

That was crazy. I am very impressed by your courage/insanity to try this concoction.

Gwahaha (Yuyuko's lunch sandwich) X Caffeine of the Black Sun (Utsuho-esque drink) = OTP
Damnit, now I want to try this mixture. But by doing so I'll probably take down the whole area with me.

Next time, try holding the cayenne and add some alcohol.

Make sure to have everyone else evacuate the area first! :D

Eh, I won't be doing that. I don't and never will drink alcohol. But if someone else wants to, tell me how it went.

By the way. I've been running for almost seven hours on this, and it shows no signs of abating. All adverse effects have also gone, aside from accelerated heart rate. I'm just wondering when I'll crash, and for how long.

Had a cup of ginseng tea once. Was one of the most terribly tasting drinks I ever had.

Though not as bad as that Frisian tea. Imagine very strong black tea (which I don't really like to begin with) with cream and rock sugar.

I've had ginseng tea before. I really liked it, myself.

And that sounds quite good, actually. Though I like tea much more than coffee, so maybe that's why.

Also thirteen hours now, and the crash hasn't hit full severity yet. Probably going to sleep when I get home anyway, though.

At the Korean corner stores in Baltimore they would sell bottles of ginseng root in water. Down one of those like a shot and you were wide a-friggin-wake for at least 24 hours. The taste isn't that great, I agree, but you can chase it with something.

Additionally, the crash has passed and I still haven't slept. Going on almost 18 hours, if my counting is correct.

I've had deep-fried ice-cream tempuras at Japanese restaurants, but those are absolutely delicious.

I'm keeping this recipe for the next time I have to pull an all nighter (not doing homework of course).

I have the urge to try this.

I strongly dislike oatmeal though, so I might have to find a substitute.

I'd say ol' Squiddy has gotten to sleep, can't say the same for Kip though.

Now I really want to try it...maybe it'll help me brainstorm more material for Youkai Quest.
Hell, I'll try to get the ingredients as soon as possible.

Since it's Okuu-inspired, that makes it easier to fit into the baseline plot I have!
Today's an awesome day. Not gonna sleep just yet, there's brainstorming to be had!

Finally fell asleep at about 20 or 21 hours. I think most of the time after the initial 18 hours was my own stubbornness to stay awake, and less the work of the drink, but still. I give it a lifespan of about 18 hours, with adverse side effects only for the first 4 or 5 hours.

(and how were the dreams)  :V

...actually, I think the dreams were Touhou-related. I don't really remember very well, but I'm pretty sure one of them had something to do with Mokou and Kaguya.

One funny thing to note is that I actually still have not finished this paper that I made this for in the first place. So now I need to hurry up and figure out how to finish it before 2 PM.

3 hours. (barely)
I had a dream I was an eyeball floating in someones coffee cup, then I kinda just got nuked.

I guess thats foreshadowing NEVER TO DRINK THAT AGAIN

Well done. At the very least, you have created a beverage for the ages.
