Neffy had was passing around the "antidote" to the love potion to everyone who wanted it- except for Tayfun. Strangely, she bobbed to her left and right, deftly switching the hand the "antidote "was in depending upon where Tayfun was in relation to the bottle. Ahmes and Decorum seeemd to have no interest int eh potion and were doing unspeakable things to the jukebox. "I am NOT cleaning that up" Akne thought to himself as the watched the two of them pour bowl after bowl of stew on the jukebox and then take turns sliding on it.

Akne had fortunetly finally been able to get up when Asenath ran for some of the "antidote" He hid himself under the nearest table to see what would happen. He was no fool....well he was, but he had seen Neffy's "antidotes" before. WHile this one might eventually cure the lovesickness, there would be some terrible side effect. What would it be? would they turn purple? into camels? He recalled once taking one that made him think he was a caramel. He kept knawing on his arm and thinking he was sticky and unable to move. Even worse, Spethi thought he was a gnat and kept swatting him with papyrus. Since he couldnt move, he woke up with a severely knawed arm and the words of the latest proclamation beaten into his forehead. He had to go around for weeks with the words "no eating beans before a meeting with pharaoh" on his forehead.

It did not take long for teh side effects to become known. Rather than alleviate the love potion, it only seemed to make everyone switch partners. Asenath grabbed Spethi's chair from her grasp and ran into Akn'e private room and locked the door. Spethi initially took chase, but Asenath dropped her picture in her haste and Spethi, seeing it ont he floor garabbed it up. 'Oh unknown named love" she wept."I shall call you Herbert." Clutching the picture to her bosom..inside her garment in fact, she slid behind the bar.

Neffy looked perplexed. Something has gone wrong. "Perhaps," she said to herself, "the wine Akne gave everyone messed things up. "

While so lost in thought, Tayfun was able to finally grab the bottle. He had been so busy trying to get it that he did not notice what had been happening. Taking a long sip, he made a face. "This is worse than that red wine Akne gave us." Shrugging, he took another sip. "yep, far far worse." He lifted the bottle to his lips agai, paused, and then dropped it. "I feel the strongest urge to marry Alli" he said no noone in particular. Running past Ahmes and Decorum, on their eigth bowl of stew on the Jukebox, Tay ran out the door.
