Water from the underworld has made its way up to Olympus.
Small traces of water from the rivers of Lethe, Acheron, Cocytus, Phlegethon, and Styx, (although Phlegethon's flames are more prominent in torches around Olympus, rather than mixed with the water) have seeped into the water that runs through everything, from the baths to the water you drink. Contact with any of them will lead to a choice of the following effects:
Lethe's water will give you bouts of amnesia. How strong or how little it effects you is up to the player, and while it will eventually wear off, some characters may forget aspects of their past to as far as their own name.
Cocytus's water will make your moods unstable for a short duration of time. You will feel normal one moment, and be wailing in misery the next, and it will come and go until it finally wears off.
Phlegethon's flames are unique all their own. As Phlegethon was a lover of the goddess Styx, but she was consumed by his flames until they were reunited as rivers, a slight burn from this flame will have you longing for someone, regardless of who or what your mind locks on to.
Styx's water will spark a character to uncharacteristic or uncalled for anger, prone to fights or brooding. Unlike Cocytus', it will stay until the water completely wears off, instead of switching on and off.
Acheron's water is water of healing. Anyone who comes in contact with it will experience extreme euphoria, relaxation, nirvana, such and such. It is a character's regular good mood amplified up to eleven. You might consider taking an actual walk on sunshine.
This will last for a week. Be careful, everyone!
