i'm at a planet9 rave, kinda like abduction, but it wasn't abduction, because i was always comparing it to that night. i was looking for e for the three of us, and ended up finding the same person. j wasn't around to take a look at it, but i found f. he went to taste it by scraping some off of the pill with his fingernail, but he ended up crushing half of it. the bit he tasted was pretty substantial. after a funny look and some thought, he concluded it wasn't e, it was whale fat. this seemed kind of strange, because i'd already taken mine.. i just had two left. he gave it back to me, but it was mostly crushed. the guy had said that if it wasn't any good i could get money back, so i went to find him. after a short discussion he gave me a whole shitload of foreign coins.. big ones. weird, i thought, but they must be worth something.

i wandered off looking at them. turns out they were german. after counting them up it came to 300.. deutschmarks, i assumed, which would be something like $150 or $200. what a dumbass. i told this to someone (b, i think). right on, they said. but then i realized that you can't get 30DM coins.. the highest was 5. a closer look confirmed that they were pfennigs (or something like that), the equivalent of a penny. that sucks.. i had about two dollars. i wandered around looking for the guy, but didn't see him. this whole time i'm cupping my hand, which is full of a big crumbling while pill and a whole one. pretty silly.

frustrated, i put the e in my pocket and the coins in a pile in the corner. i go to find b and b. can't be so bad, i think... i'd taken one, remember, and i could feel it. not quite e, i guess, but something. tasted weird (guess that's what whale fat tastes like, i think). i'm worried about the crushed white stuff in my pocket, knowing it'd be a chore to dig out, and not terribly attractive. found b.. he was't super-receptive to the whale fat thing.
