After her adventures with Audrey in Twin Peaks, Magenta found it refreshing to get back to the relatively straightforward problems of pharmacology.

Apparently the organizers of the Valentine?s Ball wanted to tempt their guests with sushi-shaped candies, and had requested the blonde?s help in adding a little pharmaceutical surprise to those treats that appeared to be topped with a dollop of wasabi.

The drugs themselves were easy, based largely on the substances she?d developed to ?spike? the food and drink at her own wedding. Magenta decided that it would be appropriate to let the candy wasabi itself be the carrier, and fiddled with flavorings that would provide a little bite to complement the sweetness of the main confections: settling on cinnamon, ginger, candied jalapeno, and peppermint.

With that done, each was given its own special chemical enhancement. Some would simply increase the sensual pleasures; others would add to endurance and a sense of well-bring; a few would take the eater on an almost spiritual journey of introspection; and most would (to one degree or another) dull the inhibitions.

None of them would leave the consumer with jittery crash, none would trigger any physical addiction, and none would make anyone act contrary to his or her own (if suppressed) desires.

Magenta looked at the table with satisfaction as the last were finished, confident that should any Ball goers wake up in someone else?s under things, or in someone else?s bed, it would only be because they wanted to.

Table decorations and other decor include a variety of magical displays created entirely from glittering candies. Rock sugar glistens under the reflective twirl of the disco ball and swirled sweets glow under the attentions of black lights. Table decorations include bouquets of rock candy and swirled suckers gathered in glass goblets and planted in coarse sugars, nonpareils and hard candy drops.

Don't forget to look at the conversation hearts scattered across the tables and along the bar. The psychic sayings on these Valentines favorites change depending on who picks them up and are not what you'd expect. Some are sweet and some are sour. Be careful who you share them with: you might get a smack (or a date!).

One special table contains a bountiful candy buffet. Every old fashioned treat you remember from childhood can be found along this 30-foot marvel. Boiled sweets, pop rocks, taffy, licorice whips, suckers, gummies, jellies, marshmallows, truffles and a magnificent chocolate fountain are just a sampling of what you'll find here. Feed your need for sugar to keep the energy high on the dancefloor!

And the venue itself: The Great Hall has been transformed into a glittering, psychadelic dance club for the 2012 Disco Ball. Love is in the air - it's time to shine!

Stepping back and considering the augmented confections on hand, Magenta felt that something was missing; a certain element of risk, a specific evidence of mischief making.

Easily remedied; one and only one of the wasabi-laden treats (it is only for the daring, the candy itself taking the appearance of octopus-tentacle sashami) now contains a little something that will compell the consumer to blurt out his or her darkest secret to their companion of the moment.

The blonde smiles, a wide and almost joyful spread of the too-ripe plum of her mouth.

It isn't a party, after all, if it doesn't leave the celebrants with something to talk about....

To spice up the evening.. the game of the night will be..
for every song that is played that is about candy, honey, sugar, etc.

The guests must a.) if they are on the dance floor switch partners!

or b.) Kiss the person closest to them!

Enjoy!!!
