Shape

Shape is a street drug in the New Real, originating from specialist uses in the field of mental health where it is known as Caerulocatapotium.

Shape is a neuroplasticity drug, often used by people in the hobby of biohacking. Like most low-integration biohacks - such as gloves with magnets in the tips, most often used to grant magnetosensitivity - Shape is harmless and easily reversible in the long term but could have serious negative effects if you misuse it in the short term.

Aside from this, it serves little purpose as a typical street drug, due to not providing a high.

When taking Color and Shape simultaneously, it’s possible to quickly lose all your original memories of your life in favor of the dream provided by Color. The result often means "taking the blue pill" and becoming unknowingly trapped in dreams. While a person could eventually stumble upon the truth and wake up, so far only eight Color-Shape users have ever awoken from their constant slumber.

Individuals who use Color and Shape in conjunction tend to have severe unresolved drug abuse issues and a distrust or dislike of the New Real. Such individuals will "take the plunge" to try and permanently drop out of the New Real into a dream world they would never have to leave.
