The annual Mardi Gras celebration was already a major spectacle, for residents and civilians alike. But when Shine started flowing, the celebration became practically - and in some cases, literally - explosive. Cleanup and repairs after the previous one took two full months, and many people are still recovering from their injuries.

At first, it was as simple as a bunch of drunk Shiners shooting fireballs and lightning into the air around their favorite float as it passed by. But naturally one of them aimed wide, and set the apartments across the street on fire. Another helpful Shiner tried to put out the fire by shrouding the building in chilly mists, but all it did was make it impossible for the residents to dive safely from their windows.

For those who tried regardless, the dull impacts made for an unexpectedly pleasant backdrop to the next float's accompanying brass band. The rest who didn't dare to make the leap of faith... they died screaming, engulfed in flames.

Further down the parade route, a speakeasy decided it would be a grand idea to offer everyone a free shot of Shine on the house. For many people, that was the first time they had ever tasted the mysterious drink - or experienced its unpredictable effects.

Months later, people still talk about the clown that gladly took the offered drink, only to dissolve into a cloud of cotton candy-smelling smoke that dissipated into nothingness. He never reappeared.

Of course, the pièce de résistance of the entire affair was one krewe that put on a massive show of Shine powers - levitating their entire float high above the awe-struck crowd, they daringly weaved their way above the parade route and showered onlookers (and other floats) with glowing necklaces made of solid light! It was a sight that none would ever forget, and a glorious example of the sheer power of Shine itself.

Naturally, the members of that float's krewe were eventually chased down by local law enforcement and cited for an absurd amount of traffic violations. Many people later reported minor burns when their necklaces winked out and vanished with a final burst of heat.

Every other story about the first Shine-fueled Mardi Gras pales in comparison to one - and for good reason. So the rumor goes, a group of children were running around, celebrating, and having a grand time with all the festivities. One of them remarked "I wish Mardi Gras would never end!" Nobody is quite sure what happened next - but the popular guess is that a drunk Shiner overheard the childish dream and decided to 'help' out somehow.

Months later, a strange dark sphere still covers most of the street corner, emanating a queer chill. All that have ventured within are never heard from again. Several gutter-drunks have sworn on their grandmothers' graves that every now and then, in the dark of night, they sometimes hear the joyful laughter of children echoing from deep within...

Shine single-handedly saved New Orleans from the Great Depression. Where other harbor cities withered from lack of trade, New Orleans' status as one of the only coastal towns that had enough Shine production to support shipping carried it through.

Every day was a constant frenzy of activity at the docks, with teams of sweating longshoremen loading up crates of Shine under foremen's watchful eyes. Unlike elsewhere in the city, consumption of Shine was strictly banned here - the chance of something happening to cut off the city's lifeblood was too much to risk.

Unfortunately, there was no ban on Shine usage for pleasure cruises, and Shine-drunk revelers were a constant hazard for the busy harbor and its sea traffic. In retrospect, it's really quite impressive how quickly the harbormasters organized a rudimentary defense force to protect their livelihood.

Brief scuffles between Shiners and the newly commissioned anti-Shiner guard boats became a commonplace event, with most drunks cheerfully turning around when warned off by the grim-faced protectors. As for those who pressed the issue - in a sense, they did the community a great service by keeping the local salvage divers in business.

Foreign dignitaries visiting New Orleans was always an interesting experience. Given its relative disconnect from the actual United States government, their motives were blatantly transparent. And yet, the city was happy to have them.

Visitors from afar came to wine, dine, and Shine the nights away, and the city welcomed them with open arms. At the end of their visit, they always left starry-eyed and telling tales of how New Orleans was a city of wonders, ready for one and all to come see for themselves! And that suited New Orleans just fine, in the end.

New Orleans' government struggled mightily to deal with Shine's effects on the city - both criminal and economic in nature. Its elected officials found themselves faced with moral quandaries and new duties to their electorate that they had never dreamed of when they were elected to once-cushy jobs.

The ramifications of the decisions these beleaguered men made - and didn't make - would affect how Shine was viewed and handled by governments across the whole nation. Under this tremendous pressure... interesting choices were made.

New Orleans - and Louisiana in general - was already steeped in mysterious voodoo traditions before Shine was even a twinkle in the famous Iskra Miloslovsky's eye. Mysterious and impenetrable to most, voodoo was thought of as little more than a strange quasi-religion. Tourists oohed and ahhed over queer carvings in curiosity shoppes, and children scared each other with ghost stories about the big bad voodoo witches coming to take them away! But to a select few, voodoo was deadly serious...

Voodoo was traditionally wielded by the voodoo queens, and its ways were a closely-kept secret. Spiritual and community leaders alike, the voodoo queens held a tremendous amount of unseen power in New Orleans and Louisiana as a whole. While there was an occasional voodoo king, they were few and relatively far between - they made names for themselves, but most saw them as simple showmen looking to take advantage of the existing myth. Thus, voodoo remained a subtle - but undeniable - way for women to maintain a position of power in a world where that had become increasingly difficult.

Shine changed all that, though...

Louisiana voodoo, at its core, involved mysterious interactions with unseen spirits. While its practitioners were able to attain a measure of local power in their communities thanks to it, voodoo was hardly the sort of thing that could ever be reliably proven. Did these spirits exist? Nobody knew for sure - at least, until Shine came to New Orleans.
