Secretions

the splooge potion · the environment potion

A revolting white 'secretions' potion sold at pit stops that grants temporary protection against a track's hostile environment.

Story so far

'Secretions' is a foul white, sloshing liquid potion sold in buckets by the skeletal 'bat dudes' of the Minister of Blood-Letting's crew at the Heat Four pit stops — the party's fallback protection against a track losing its survival containment. Universally nicknamed 'splooge' for its appearance and smelling revoltingly of secretions (Louis compares the taste to 'Miami swamp ass'), a single sip — about half a potion bottle's worth — imbues roughly a half hour of protection against most hostile environments, from acid rain to toxic air. Strangely, it must be drunk manually rather than auto-applied, which Prepotente finds inconvenient and Louis attributes to its ghastly taste.

Prepotente extols it as 'truly a superior and versatile protection'; Princess Donut refuses to go near the buckets until they're safely stowed in inventory.
