Bleeprin

Bleeprin, which was invented by Meir Brin and TZA, is a medication often used by agents to soften the trauma of appalling badfic. Along with the original Bleeprin products, Bleepto-Dismal and Bleepka, it is manufactured by the mini-Aragogs of the Hogwarts Fanfiction Academy. It is made out of bleach, which gets rid of potentially scarring mental images, and aspirin, which deals with the headache.* It comes in the form of a round white pill about the size of a chickpea (or large normal pea).

* Please refrain from reminding the PPCers that this is chemically impossible. They already know that. They don't care. However, if you remind them, it may no longer work; then they will probably kill you.

Hazards
Bleeprin must not be mixed with any Stuffs, as the ensuing explosion could take out a wall. It really shouldn't be mixed with anything alcoholic at all due to the explosive reaction between the two, though some agents with no particular attachment to their eyebrows have managed it (see PG2B2). Most "alcoholic" Bleeprin-derived beverages, such as Bleepka, are actually made with non-alcoholic alcohol substitute. Despite this fact, many agents have suffered drunkenness and hangovers after imbibing Bleeprin-derived beverages to excess. Some have speculated this is due to the power of the agent's personal beliefs; i.e., that they really, really wish to be drunk, and therefore really, really experience the effects.

It is not known whether one can actually overdose on Bleeprin, but the most likely result of consuming too much would be extensive or total memory loss. When Thomas Greenwall consumed a large amount of Bleeprin over a short period of time, he experienced issues remembering basic information, names, and other things. The Medical Department was able to treat him and he (presumably) made a full recovery. His case is so far unique.

While many agents appear to be dependent on Bleeprin, they do not show the usual signs of drug addiction. The only effects of Bleeprin withdrawal appear to be the return of unpleasant memories and the completely justifiable irritability at being forced to suffer through them. If anyone IS truly addicted to Bleep-stuff, it is Agent Supernumerary, and even he can get along without it.

Avian and were-bird agents cannot take it, as it wreaks havoc on their respiratory systems; most of them use Suebuprofen instead.

Bleeprin Products
The following products are made from Bleeprin:


 * Bleepbeer : Beer made using Bleeprin instead of water.

Created by Huinesoron to stop Vemi turning invisible quite so often, and seen in Scene VI of the Playscripte.
 * Bleepettes: Cigarettes containing Bleepto-Dismal-soaked shreds of cigarette paper, with or without tobacco. Created by Trojie and Pads.

 * NM&NMs: Bleepolate M&Ms that come in bleen, blello, urple, and wilver. These are created whenever someone types (nm) into the title line of a post containing n o m essage on the Board, because the Board adds the (nm) automatically anyway.
 * Bleeprum: Bleeprin mixed with rum&mdash;Jamaican rotgut, to be specific. Invented by Agent Entropy on International Talk Like A Pirate Day 2005. Popular in the Pirates of the Caribbean fandom. Sometimes found as a filling in chocolates.
 * Bleepsinthe: Bleeprin mixed with faux absinthe. Use with caution. Comes in caffeinated variety, for overworked agents or those too afraid of badfic-induced nightmares to sleep.
 * Bleeptea: Bleeprin mixed with tea made from carnivorous tea leaves from Desdendelle's home universe.
 * Bleepto-Dismal: Diluted Bleeprin in liquid form.
 * Bleepulan Ale: Bleeprin mixed with Romulan Ale. Restricted to the Department of WhatThe and agents coming from very bad fics indeed.
 * Bleepuvor: Bleeprin mixed with miruvor. Overdose simply gives a ten-second vision of Elrond Peredhil saying to read the label next time.
 * Bloffee: Bleeprin mixed with coffee, created by Newmoon and others.
 * Klatchian Bloffee: Bleeprin mixed with Klatchian coffee. Makes you knurd, but the bleach clears the memories of being drunk.
 * Blumble: A mixture of Bleeprin and heavily-diluted scumble, created by Agent Diocletian in a moment of desperation. In order to distract and dilute the essential aura of Nanny Oggish alcoholic nastiness, Diocletian wound up using only one part scumble to three parts Holy Hangover Cure (© Unseen University, lest UU's legal department turn us into small mechanical chickens) and two parts codeine. The resulting mixture is known to bubble ominously and occasionally make *glook* sounds, but if you want to simultaneously get your mind wiped, become drunk, sober up, and fall comatose, there is no other mixture. Caused hallucinations in the SO.
 * Pan Galactic Gargle Bleeprin Blaster: An extremely volatile mix of Bleeprin with the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, created by Agents Rez and Flip after weeks of experimentation and singed eyebrows. The recipe for PG2B2 can be had if you ask nicely, but use with care: overdose can cause permanent amnesia.
