THIRD CONFIRMED SUICIDE CASE USING WHAT’S BEING CALLED "THE PRETTY POISON" “No one knows where it came from, it seems to have appeared out of nowhere. A poison that kills you but leaves you with shiny porcelain skin, beautiful soft hair and the perfect Kardashian body. It’s the all the rave among the youth, and everyone is considering it.

The first case to bring this poison to the public was actually a murder. Authorities found the lifeless body of a 25 year old woman - who’s identity will not be disclosed - with beautiful pore-less skin, shiny and soft curly hair and a perfectly shaped hourglass body. Authorities were confused about the condition of the body, she looked alive but she was cold as ice and didn’t have a heartbeat.

An autopsy found that the victim was poisoned and that may be the cause of the condition of her body.

It wasn’t long before someone used it to commit suicide and not long after that someone else. The opinion among the youth is “well, if you want to die, might as well do it while looking good”. No one knows how it became available to the public and the police have yet to find a suspect in the initial murder case. Forensics have gathered samples of the poison from blood and from the scene of the homicide, while the cases of the Pretty Poison are being investigated.

Description:

The "Pretty Poison" is a blend between a Chemical-Type and a Trend-Type Oddity. The compound itself, however, is a Chemical-Type that has just caught as a form of suicide among narcissists.

Pretty Poison is a deadly compound that, when ingested, has the anomalous property of making whoever it kills more "beautiful."

Effects on the Body: Pretty Poison was described by the anonymous writer of the article as changing the body of whoever ingests it so they possess, "shiny porcelain skin, beautiful soft hair and the perfect Kardashian body."

An unnamed, 25 year-old victim was changed into having "pore-less skin," "shiny and soft curly hair," and "a perfectly-shaped hourglass body."

What Pretty Poison would do to a male individual who ingested it is unknown, but it's easy to assume it would shape them to better fit into "conventional" ideals of beauty.

Whether Pretty Poison transforms those who ingest it before or after their death is unknown, but the outcome always results in their death. It's safe to assume that at least some of the victims may have tried to ingest smaller doses in order to reap some of the Poison's benefits while avoiding death. But there is no evidence that anyone has survived, or if it's even possible to survive any amount of Pretty Poison. It may very well be the case that ingesting any trace of this compound will cause both effects, the transformation and death, to occur, regardless of the amount.
