Summary
Darkness swirls in their cups, glittery and hypnotizing, with every meal, with every day, and with each sip the pain drifts farther away. There is no pain, not here, nothing but pure goodness, pleasure, happiness. A godsend, for a woman who hates pain so ardently, who wishes for nothing but the best for her family and children, for a world without any pain at all.

Summary
# graz'zt cultist is bamboozled into putting on a necklace that turns off her addictive cultist painkiller drug in front of her party members
And, of course, it would be rude to not accept a gift from such a socially powerful man as Alonso, not only enviously theatrical but also the host of this very gala! As a guest and as a woman who loves attention, she smiles, pleased. The man in question reclines in a languid manner, his emerald suit sparkling as Marla takes the pendant from him to clasp around her neck. He dips his chin encouragingly, light glinting across his glasses, perhaps approving of how it looks. Somehow, she’s yet to see his eyes even once through the entire night.
It takes a moment for her to grasp what is actually happening. Distant, forgotten pain prickles in at the tips of her fingers and toes. She blinks, looking down at herself in confusion as the discomfort spreads, climbing up her limbs and leaving a tremor in her hands. A second later and the agony envelops her, aching her chest from wounds long since inflicted and healed. Whatever last remnants of her prior, pleasant state disappear at her collarbone, where the black gem now sits.
“What in the hells?”
