[Two twitter logs about Asher's experience with the honey from the strange plant invading his flat]

Will you ever learn?
You imbibe the viscous juice. It's rather fruity. Is that a hint of pineapple? No, it's your mind being consumed by the endless depths of the earth. You wake some time later, missing your clothes and curled up in the coal bunker. You don't feel well at all.
Ugh, wha...what 'appened?
*has just woken up in the Royal Beth's coal bunker...naked...* Bloody hell...
*is now frantically searching for clothes...or material...something to cover himself with while he sneaks to his room*
*Finds a bucket & holds it up. Grimaces* ...No, there's gotta be somethin' else
*finds nothing. Goes back to the bucket & groans* Ok ok, this is Bedlam, people run around naked all the time...
...& it feels like there's coal on my face, so maybe no one will recognize me *trying to pump himself up for this*
Um, the best way ta get back would be...*goes over his route in his head before grabbing the bucket & moving toward the doorway*
*peeks out the door & quickly moves toward the stairs, trying to stay in the shadows as much as possible*
*finally makes it back to his room. The Devious Henchman & LBs look up from their card game & stare* Um...*coughs* I'll, uh, I'll be in the bath...*walks toward his room to grab clothes & calls back* Oh, & don't try eatin' anything that comes from that plant

Where did you go?
You imbibe the viscous juice. It's rather fruity. Is that a hint of pineapple? No, it's your mind being consumed by the endless depths of the earth. Blinding light. A thousand years under the glow in the sky that isn't the sun. Men thundering past on horseback. A choir reaching to heaven. A jungle full of cats and spiders. A tunnelling, under the earth, under the zee. You wake some time later, missing your clothes and curled up in the coal bunker.
Ugh...*sits up & looks around* ...dammit
*Asher is currently sitting in a coal bunker, naked, waiting for his head to stop pounding, & sulking*
*enters the flat, once again naked & dirty but covering himself this time with a burlap sack. His flatmates regard him questioningly* No more honey from the plant, I swear. *heads for the bath*
