Background
Paul Carmody was a med student who started experimenting with DXM (aka Robo, aka cough syrup) as a way to relax from his studies. DXM has a reputation for causing personality changes, and high doses can give the sensation of contact with alien beings. But that's just an illusion, right? You can't actually open a time tunnel to ancient Atlantis with cough syrup, right? No matter how much you take, or for how long?
Over the course of a year and a half, Paul went from top of his class, to flunked out, to talking to himself in an alley, to valued member of the Sanitation Bureau.
Relationships
- Rosanne King shares Paul's beliefs (well, kind of).
- Paul can talk to Zachary Graves about his obsession, even though Zachary doesn't really understand.
- Priyanka Patel is tired of arguing with Paul and won't talk to him any more.
