Welcome to Gaia! ::

Anyways Auggie, I think imma hit the sack. I'm tired, and I've got a long day of neices ahead of me tomorrow. still wish I had a kid of my own.

The point is that Morphine would simply not work. Even if the breathing was made shallow (which I believe is what morphine does)... the pain would persist. Konaga pain works on a totally different level then what others sense as 'pain'... it's almost a supernatural thing. Their bodies have learned to adapt, since it's all they've ever known, but that's the reason why their senses are the way they are. The only escape is meditation... even "sleep" as it's typically thought of does not allow Konaga to escape the pain.

...so no, even drums of morphine, if they were administered, would not reduce a Konaga's pain, even if it were to make them pass out.


The technique takes an area of the body and basically kills off everything in the area by flooding it with an excessive and concentrated burst of chakra. A Konaga's cells are already flooded with chakra, so they themselves are left alive, but foreign substances like poisons, etc... are immediately denatured. The residual effect is that the Purged area is unusable for a post or two, since the influx of the chakra shocks the body's nerve endings into paralysis.

...and yes, they can administer it to themselves, that's the whole point. If a Konaga did this to anyone but another Konaga... they would SERIOUSLY mess them up.

Ah, so it isn't necessarily a physical pain. Ok then.

But wouldn't that much morphine still kill a Konaga?

They have to be, Australia is bloody terrifying.

One of the most singly terrifying creatures ( as in, one alone is bad news) is a bird that lives in Australia. I'm trying to find a description of it right now.

Well, I can't find the bird, but I know it's a creature that lives in Australia. I think Aug linked to it in another guild a while back.

Things that can kill or hurt you badly in Australia (off the top of my head)

Emu: Can easily keep up with you if run and will kick and stomp your head in or at least rupture your organs

Koala: Friendly till it gets moody, it will then maul your face off

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koala

Platypus: Not just bizarre but also dangerous, a male platypus has poisonous barbs behind its flippers and while the the poison isn't deadly to humans (it is to small animals) the pain the venom will cause a human can knock them out.

Inland Taipan and Eastern Brown Snake: Considered the 1st and 2nd most venomous snakes in the world respectively

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inland_Taipan

Sea wasp: the most lethal jellyfish in the world

Sydney Funnel-web spider: Most poisonous spider the world? I think so

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney_funnel-web_spider

and finally *drum roll*

Cassowary: If it doesn't manage to slice open your stomach or throat or groin with its feet spikes, it'll likely have kicked you so hard in the process that you'll suffer internal bleeding.

Australia: The land of the least deadly and most cuddly creatures
