Obsidian Rush

Obsidian Rush, also known simply as Rush, is a central nervous system stimulant known for its intense and fast acting highs. The drug is believed to have originated in Spaghetti Town and its use is widespread among patrons of Club Xtacy. The drug is primarily used in the form of a black powder, which is then snorted. 
== Origins ==
Obsidian Rush in its original form was created by a scientist called Dr. Kemp, whose younger brother had become mixed up with Cassie Kade's organisation and owed a large sum of money neither he nor his sister could afford to repay. In an effort to create a legal stimulant, Dr. Kemp had accidentally created a drug with an incredible high, and after a few tweaks decided to offer it to Cassie as a way to ensure her and her brother's safety. After ordering a few more changes to the drug to make it more addictive, Cassie had Kemp and her brother killed.
== Effects ==
As per Dr. Kemp's explanation, Obsidian Rush produces a high unlike anything else on the market and is incredibly fast acting, with it affecting a man who tested the drug for Cassie within a few seconds. However the high fades just as quickly as it comes, with Kemp suggesting someone could take it in the bathroom at work, then show no signs of having used drugs five minutes later. Notable the drug also elevates sexual desire, with Kemp explaining that this particular effect lingers long after the high has faded. The drug has no side effects besides the heightening of one's sex drive, which is considered to be a desirable quality by most users.
While not particularly addictive in the original form created by Dr. Kemp, Cassie demanded the drug's formula be altered to create a highly addictive narcotic as she was seeking to maximise the revenue it could generate. Due to this combination of an incredible but very brief high and being highly addictive as per Cassie's request, Obsidian Rush users typically end up spending excessive sums of money on the drug within a very short period of time.
== Distribution ==
Obsidian Rush was initially only available in Spaghetti Town, from dealers at Club Xtacy. The dealers are believed to be employees of Cassie Kade, though she has publicly denied this, going as far as to describe the drug as a 'scourge' during an appearance on The Kelly DiVanna Show. Given that despite these constant denials she has done nothing to prevent the distribution of Rush on Club Xtacy's premises, most believe her to be complicit, though no solid proof exists.
== Trivia ==
* Given the drug's origins as a failed attempt at creating a legal stimulant, it can likely be used in pill form.
* It can be ingested as a tea, but the high is slower and less intense.
* The drug is being investigated by Kanako.
* A dealer by the name of Jason C has sold twice as much Rush as any of Cassie's other dealers.
