Whore (Illegal drug) – Synthetic hormonibital-six; an inhibition blocker first mentioned in Seduction in Death. The aftereffects include hangover, headache, vomiting, the shakes, blackouts, and lost time.[1]
How it got started: Louise Dimatto As an experimental treatment for phobias and conditions like social anxiety disorder. It was a little too good at it. It also had an effect on the hormones. It was discovered that it worked more effectively as an aid in sexual disorders. In diluted and carefully monitored doses, it could and did enhance sexual desire and function. From there, it went into use as an aide for training licensed companions. Though nonaddictive, it was soon found to be dangerously unstable. Which, naturally, meant it became desirable on the street, particularly among your more well-heeled college boys and junior execs who would slip a dose into their dream girl’s drink to loosen her up. That’s how it got its name, as mixed with alcohol it tends to loosen the system up enough so the ingestor would be amenable to being fucked naked on the ice rink at Rockefeller Center. The ingestor wouldn’t necessarily have the motor coordination left to actively participate, and would unlikely remember doing so, but she’d be damn amenable to suggestion.[2]
In Innocent in Death, Reed Williams had a supply of sex aids, including Whore and Rabbit.[3]
One of the ingredients in Tiara Kent’s drug cocktail in Eternity in Death was Whore (the others listed were Zeus, Erotica, Rabbit, Stunner, Bliss, and Boost).[4]
Whore and/or Rabbit were intentionally not used on Deena MacMasters in Kindred in Death, because the killer didn’t want her to participate or enjoy it - he wanted her terrified and hurting.[5]
Sylvester Moriarity III gave his wife at the time, Patrice Delaughter, Whore with a chaser of Rabbit during a threesome with a Licensed Companion, Ava Crampton. During the threesome, he also allowed his best friend, Winston Dudley IV, to participate even though Pat had nixed the idea. In Indulgence in Death, Pat told Eve about the incident - Crampton found her at a restaurant and told her what had happened because “there were lines, and [Sly] had crossed them, but she would deny ever having spoken to [her] if she told him.”[6]
Dickie Berenski called the tea Trey Ziegler used on women in Festive in Death “a mild date-rape drug,” adding that “it’s not like whore or rabbit, and the user’s likely to feel relaxed instead of jumpy after the job’s done.” DeWinter added, “No memory loss with this. No wild up and downs or desperation. But compliance and escalated sexual desire. His victims, as they’s just what they were, would likely have thought themselves agreeable, even pleased. Afterward, again depending on the circumstances, there may have been some regret or embarrassment.”[7]
In Brotherhood in Death, the rape club members used an early form of Whore or Rabbit on the women they targeted,[8] likely cooked up by Frederick Betz, chem major and heir to Betz Chemicals in his home lab.[9]
In Vendetta in Death, Nigel McEnroy had travel vials of Rohypnol, Rabbit, and Whore in his kink closet.[10]
In Faithless in Death, Gwen Huffman said her mother gave her illegals - a diluted version of Whore - so she would be able to “perform” on her wedding night. “My mother came up with the formula. She promised it was perfectly safe, and she used it herself.”[11] Some of the substance was found in Lawrence Piper’s office as well.[12]
In Random in Death, Francis Bryce made his own street drugs, handily labeled: Zeus, Whore, Erotica.[13]
