A few moments later, John had already made the joint as he took a lighter to the end of it, holding it on his lips before lighting it up.
Almost instantly, the smell of marijuana wafted throughout the room, a dense thick smell than stained everything it came into contact with.
'Fuck, thats strong, much stronger than any weed i've ever smelled before. Will I even be able to fake smoke that shit? It feels like just by being in the same room as them, I'll get under its effects.' Alan thought to himself as he saw John take a long deep puff of smoke, clearly inhaling it all deeply before slowly puffing it out as his entire body seemed to slouch back more before he passed it towards Adrian who was next to him.
Jeannie meanwhile had already sat down onto the wooden armchair next to the broken down couch and was eagerly awaiting her turn.
The previous jeannie who had almost seemed to be infatuated with Alan was gone, the sly teasing girl was nowhere to be seen, the look in her eyes was almost mad as she gazed at the joint, her hands faintly shaking, it almost seemed like she was about to start salivating as she waited.
'Shes gone, shes utterly gone just from smelling it in the air. Just… how far gone are these guys.' Alan thought to himself as he felt his heart start beating faster and faster.
Whilst he had tried to fit in with this group, smoking cigarettes with them and skipping class, this wasn't who Alan was. He had never been the courageous type who would go against societal norms, he had never been someone who wanted to do bad things just to rebel. He was just a kid who wanted to fit in with someone, especially after his entire life had been thrown upside down by the appearance of the system and supernatural creatures.
'Did I get in over my head… I did. I so totally did.' Alan thought, fear slowly creeping into his mind as he stared at the group which had in mere moments turned into people that he no longer recognised at all.
They appeared completely different, as if infatuated by the drug.
'Druggies… I, I mean i've read about them and like seen movies and know the side effects… but this is the first time I'm actually seeing it in real life. This is so much scarier than I thought it would be.' Alan thought to himself, his stomach already feeling upset by the stress and fear of the situation that had creeped up on him.
After Adrian took a hit of the joint, similarly to John, slouching back onto the couch, his eyes seeming to dull slightly as he stared into what was practically air, a complete deadpan on his face. He had already forgotten to pass the joint around towards Jeannie, who by this point was in actual fact salivating, an almost crazed look on her face.
Jeannie didn't wait a single moment longer as her hand snapped forwards and she swiped the weed joint from Adrian's fingers and quickly pulled it towards her own mouth, taking a long deep smoke, inhaling it completely into her own lungs, however that wasn't all she did as she continued taking quick smokes three more times without exhaling the smoke at all.
After a few seconds, she finally exhaled, a long slow plume of smoke that instantly clouded half the room as her body slouched back, her eyes finally losing their manic glint, the salivation similarly stopping and being replaced by the very same dull expression as the other two.
The three of them had completely forgotten Alan was even in the room, or rather they had forgotten practically everything but the feeling of the drug going throughout their body and intoxicating their mind.
"Jeannie? John? Adrian?" Alan said softly slowly, carefully as he looked at their face, one after the other and yet none of them responded to him at all.
'Observe' Alan thought in his mind and instantly after the blue holographic panel appeared before him.

At first as he read through the holographic observation panels, Alan saw only the intoxication status effect. The side effects were devestationg. A minus four in intelligence was devastating.
'If the average human has a medium of five intelligence, a minus four would mean they're practically dumb as rocks.' Alan thought to himself before his eyes wandered towards Jeanies status menu and at that moment, a shiver went through his entire body.
From the back of his neck all the way down to his tailbone, at the same time, cold sweat appeared all over his back and on his forehead, his hands starting to shake more and more as his fear turned into pure terror as he took a few steps back, getting as close to the window as he could.
'Possesion…. Shes getting fucking possesed.' Alan thought as he repeated the words on the status window, his terror instantly jumped higher as he saw the number on the observation panel.
It was changing. The number was changing, it was….
It was rising.
And it was rising quickly.

'Oh fuck… oh fuck fuck fuck.' Alan thought as he turned towards the window fully, already trying to leave the room, however before he could, he heard a sound from behind him.
Someone had stood up to their feet.
Slowly… as slowly as he could, he turned only his head to gaze behind him.
