The Layover

**Heavan's Dust** is a magic alchemical substance that is introduced to the Sapphire Foxx Universe in the Beyond Comic "The Layover". It is a unique and very potent substance like a potion but that comes is a shimmering gold powder instead of fluid. Heaven's Dust is an illegal and incredibly potent arcane aphrodisiac used as a kind of underground drug in the sorcerer society. It will cause anyone; even the strongest minded sorcerers, to become completely consumed with lust and libido drawn to have sex and be provocative with practically anyone and everyone around them. In its pure and most refined form even a small sniff of a few flakes of the dust will overcome anyone with its effects. Anyone close by when the dust is released into the open air who smells its sweet odor will be affected and driven to a very lustful and libidinous state. While the effected will not be completely at a loss of their rational, they will lose any and all inhibitions and even the most loyal individual would be drawn to have sex with anyone not just their own significant other. The Dust's effects take only a couple seconds to manifest once the victim sniffs the particles and even minor exposure seems to last for hours until wearing off.

While the dust itself seems to be physically harmless to anyone who is exposed to it its overly potent and rather inappropriate effects has made it illegal in the sorcerer society and considered a contraband item by the DSC. As such it is highly valued drug by the more criminal activity-oriented sorcerer(s) and is valued at roughly 250 Arcana (25,000 dollars) a gram. The exact methods of creating the dust are not specified but it is mentioned to be a very complex and difficult process of alchemy. Once fully prepared the dust will also give off very strong magical energies that a properly trained sorcerer can easily sense and detect. It must then be fully sealed in a special vial or bottle to ensure it does not spill out or spread out of control as even a small sniff of the substance will activate its effects. Unfortunately, once the effects begin there seems to be no way to halt or undo them and the effected will simply need to either wear themselves out and fall asleep or continue in their sex crazed state for several hours.

The effected will display a form of primal sexual lust but still be able to form more coherent thoughts and actions such as talking and being a bit reactive to certain things around them, but their main focus will plainly and simply remain focused on sexual pleasures and having them with anyone around them. The effected can still think and focus like they normally would simply without any regard for indecent exposure and relational loyalties. This is evidenced mostly the fact that a sorcerer is still able to cast spells without any hindrance while under the influence of the dust. Whereas opposed to the effects of other substances like alcohol a sorcerer is usually unable to properly cast a spell and instead arcane burn themselves. Showing that while the dust may drive the mind into an unimpeded sex crazed state it does not inherently intoxicate or impair the effected.

## History

Heaven's Dust was introduced in the Beyond Comic "The Layover" where three; essentially black market, sorcerers are seen making an exchange of it at LaGuardia airport. The two buys are referred to as Wolf and Leopard as code names and they are sent by an unnamed boss to meet with a third sorcerer known as Kraken. Once they meet, Leopard and Wolf exchange 150,000 arcana (equivalent to around 1,500,000 dollars) for a case containing 600 grams of Heaven's Dust in a set of 9 bottles. The exchange is made but as Leopard and Wolf head to leave their boss calls them and tells them the DSC is on the way and is aware of the exchange. The two are forced to abandon the case in the airport and run for it.

Not long after another sorcerer Isabelle Arrington and her boyfriend Chris Young arrive on a diverted flight. Isabelle is able to sense the power of the dust within the abandoned case and chooses to take it with them rather than let a Non-Blood find it and release whatever strong magic it is. The two of them then join a group in staying in a presidential suite in a hotel nearby as all other rooms they could find were booked due to the occurring holiday and snowstorm. After dinner however Isabelle got curious and opened the case to find the 9 bottles of dust. Unaware of what they really were Chris insisted on leaving them and finding out later under better circumstances. However, after Chris went to take a shower and the group in the room divided Isabelle examined one bottle and after just a small smell her eyes glazed over, and she was quickly put under the influence of the dust. She proceeded to tear through her clothing and put on a set of sexy lingerie just as another of the group Isaac Damon entered the room shocked to see her in such a state. Isabelle quickly began to get provocative with Isaac and while he rejected her forthcomings at first; as he was loyal to his girlfriend Alyssa Foster, he soon got a smell of the dust still lingering in the air and fell under its influence. He and Isabelle began to make out and move into foreplay just as Chris exited the shower to find them in such a state. Chris demanded to know what had gotten into them just as Alyssa also came into the room angered to see Isaac cheating on her. After only a moment however Alyssa got a sniff of the dust and began to get provocative with Chris. Chris then saw the open vial spilled on the nearby table and realized what was causing this but before he could try and stop it he too got a whiff and fell under the influence. As the four in the room began to have sex using revitalizing spells so Chris and Isaac could keep going even after they climaxed the other four of the group, Robin, Kelly, Mariah Wright, and Jamie McCarthy were down at the bar talking unaware of the dust and its effects on their friends. Jamie and Robin returned the to the room after a bit and found the other four in the living room still influenced by the dust. After a moment of shock and confusion Jamie found the vial of dust on the table and sniffed it quickly falling under the influence herself. She then pushed the dust towards Robin, and she too felt its effects and the two women began to join in on the ongoing orgy. Mariah and Kelly followed soon after and seemed to get a whiff of the dust as soon as they entered the room joining in as well. The eight members of the group continued to have an orgy and swap partners until each of them was worn out and fell asleep. The repercussions or any side effects of the dust wearing off are not seen.

## Trivia

* It is likely the only one who could resist the effects of the Dust is Alistair in his statue form as he doesn't genuinely breath in that state and thus would likely be immune to chemical agents.
* Assuming the 600 grams was distributed evenly among the 9 bottles seen in "The Layover" each one would have contained roughly 66.6 grams an ironic number of *666* in an object referred to as "*heaven's*" dust.
