Feathers

Vurt Feathers are a type of drug that transfer their users into a shared dream-state, or possibly a virtual reality, known as the Vurt world. Vurt feathers are coloured to designate their type, though some exist that consist of a combination of colours.

Variants

Vurt feathers have six primary colours that designate the type of Vurt world it will allow the user to enter. Blue and pink are legally-available to the general public and sold from establishments such as Vurt-U-Want stores. They are usually labelled, and come with advertisments (dubbed "advurts") and closing credits (branding and the names of the actors and creators).

• Blue: Legal vurt; the vurt accessed through these feathers commonly show the equivalent of television programmes - soap operas especially - whilst other feathers contain programmed 'games'.
• Pink: Legal vurt; exclusively used for pornography and erotica.
• Black: Illegal vurt; the vurt accessed through these feathers tend to induce confusion and pain, but can also be cathartic.
• Silver, also known as Operator feathers: Very secretive; owned only by the creators of vurt feathers.
• Yellow, also known as Knowledge feathers: Near-mythical and very rare; death within a yellow vurt world results in the real-world death of the user.
• Green, also known as Heaven feathers: Very expensive and seemingly vaguely legal; used by the rich to extend their consciousness inside the vurt world after their deaths.
