Ragged [10 Hispis 4262]

Rhedwy:"Good morning, Sythyry. You wear so much perfume, I can smell you all the way from Oorah Thrassen."

Me:"Well, some days I need that much to be socially acceptable, wouldn't you know."

Rhedwy:"Not so, Sythyry! That much perfume is not socially acceptable. Even a Khtsoyis faints from it!"

Me:"Yet another reason why we are fortunate not to have any Khtsoyis in the class."

Esory:"Rhedwy's right. It is awfully strong."

Me:"No offense intended!" I had forgotten that Esory prefers Khtsoyis.

Esory:"None taken. But, um, we've a ninth of an hour before dawn. Could you wash a bit of that off?"

Me:"Well ... I'd rather not. Vae did something rude to me."

Rhedwy:"Vae leaves you smelling like you are at your most receptive. So you add enough cheap perfume to smell like the group of nineteen cheap strumpets. This leaves everyone who can smell even more certain about your position."

Irigatur:"Which is 'on your back, legs spread', from the sound of it."

Rhedwy:"Maybe 'chest on ground, rump up, tail off to the side.' Sythyry is the quadruped, like me."

Me:"I'm a far more elegant quadruped than you, Rhedwy."

Rhedwy:"So elegant! You are the too small for me quadruped, though. This is the only reason I do not try you when I am on heat."

Me:"That, and I'd refuse you."

Rhedwy:"You smell like that: you are not in a position to refuse anyone."

Me:"I hate my job."

Esory:"I hate your perfume. Please can we open a window?"

Prof. Alzagond:"I will open the window. You will get to your tables, now, or you will miss dawn."

Now now, let's think this through. Clearly Vae does not understand what would make Sythyry smell more appealing to Orren.

Instead, Vae needs to give Sythyry a subtle aroma of fish! Well-cooked, delicious fish, at that.

Perhaps if Sythyry brings her some as a gift, she might then know the appropriate smell.

[kensan-oni.livejournal.com]

... But ... then the Orren will want to eat the Sythry, and we can't have that! No Journal!

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

Indeed, Orren wear perfumes of various sorts, but not cooked fish ones!

[sianmink.livejournal.com]

Or Vae needs to make Sythyry shinier. Though this does run the risk of being gathered up and stashed underneath someOrren's furniture.

[tuftears.livejournal.com]

Or, shiny fishiness!

[zhaleskra.livejournal.com]

Was Rhedwy joking, or is she traff? I can't recall.

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

She's a libertine, to be sure. She's indiscriminate. She will, in principle, screw anything that moves, and is not so fussy that it be prime.

She's not traff though. I doubt that she loves anyone but herself.

[stormydragon.livejournal.com]

Aren't Zi-ri/sleeth dalliances semi-traditional? You could at least have a bit of fun while you're waiting around for the Orren of your dreams.

[terrycloth.livejournal.com]

I guess covering up the scent didn't work. Isn't there some sort of nasty-smelling powder you could use, designed for evading being tracked by scent, that would deaden the nose of anyone who smelled you?

... and I don't think that the likelihood that you'd refuse her would stop Rhedwy from asking, if you were the right size. Sleeth have no shame.

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

I am very glad she's not interested!

[sianmink.livejournal.com]

I'm sure she wouldn't leave TOO many teethmarks.

[terrycloth.livejournal.com]

She's a healer after all, isn't she?

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

Her idea of healing hurts almost as much as babymaking.

[terrycloth.livejournal.com]

Ha! I knew she used mutoc.

[zeeth_kyrah]

Just need the right additive, and the scent might shift into something a bit more useful. Unfortunately, that additive might itself be a horrible thing.

Ah, chemistry.

[xolo.livejournal.com]

I'm curious. Rhedwy says "...the group of nineteen cheap strumpets", with the article 'the', as though she refers to a particular group of nineteen cheap strumpets. Is this just a peculiarity of translation, or is there some story or proverb about a group of nineteen cheap strumpets? I'd like to hear it if there is :)

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

Not that I know of. Rhedwy sticks in random definite articles all over. Promiscuously!

[denaist.livejournal.com]

It is a problem for you, how Sleeth speak, hrrai? Our speech, it is just fine! Rhedwy is the good speaker. And the good healer. And...

(mumbles something about sticking definite articles in Rhedwy)

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

I'm sure she'd be glad of some definite articles stuck in her. But don't you have a girlfriend sort of person?

[denaist.livejournal.com]

The girlfriend is Thestra. She is stealing for you, is months ago.
(He looks to either side, just in case.)

Thestra is my special Cani, hrrai. Very special. This is not saying I do not fancy Sleeth females. And this is fine!

[kensan-oni.livejournal.com]

As far as I can tell, The is a common Uh adjetive in the language. It pops up everywhere where it shouldn't. I've grown so used to it, I don't think about it anymore.

[justicezero.livejournal.com]

Would the next step be to spont a suitable Sustenoc Destroc Airador spell sufficient to destroy the odours after they are created, then? I am sure some adventurer has devised an appropriate scent-masking spell.. Or does that seem too risky for a three day bit of non-threatening if embarrassing and irritating doom?
Clearly perfume is in no way sufficient.

[kensan-oni.livejournal.com]

It would probably be easier to alter the spell to smell like a Zi'Rin in heat... or a Orren, if such a thing as heat exists for either or them, then to try to destroy the spell.

[shadsdf.livejournal.com]

Or try to alter it into a silly hat, then gift it to someone else!

[kensan-oni.livejournal.com]

I suppose if you could do that with a non-material object.. but perhaps more like a ring for a poor Cani who has been visited by unfortunate diseases so she could perhaps have a good love life? (I'm sure infertility has to happen somewhere on the Tree)

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

Sleeth are the only prime species who go on heat. Zi Ri, Orren, and Cani don't.

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

No, just not practicable. I'd need to more or less double the power of her spell, which I can't.

[justicezero.livejournal.com]

And you can't destroy the scent -after- it has been created? I had thought more along the lines of a scent-proof shell.

[perlandria.livejournal.com]

SO, how long is it going to last considering the whole resizing messing up your ribbons thing that other time?

[justicezero.livejournal.com]

I presume two more days, until Sythyry is able to explain that the scent provided to him is not the correct one needed for the intended purpose. This gives two days to find what an appropriate scent would be, at the very least.
Maybe you would be better off with a sensory enhancement to be able to smell such scents on others or something..

[terrycloth.livejournal.com]

"I want to smell like a Cani!"
"But... you already smell like a Cani."

[zhaleskra.livejournal.com]

Yes, that one would require careful wording.

"I'd like to have the smell perception of a Cani, but still care about bad smells like a normal Prime," perhaps?

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

I really, really don't want to encourage Vae to use Mentador!

[zhaleskra.livejournal.com]

Could not the same effect by created through the use of Illusidor?

[mattlazycat.livejournal.com]

I pity you amusedly. Sorry, I can't help it! It's not like I find misfortune amusing in general, but yours in particular is so terribly entertaining. Anyway, now that I've totally won you over to my side, can you hook me up with Rhedwy? :)

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

If you had an exceedingly barbed and cruel male member, I should be glad to try!

[mattlazycat.livejournal.com]

A gentleman Sleeth never tells, oh Zi Ri.

Pfah! Gentlemen tell!

[denaist.livejournal.com]

We tell quite proudly! But if such is to be happening, I promise to be cruel and barbed to Rhedwy!

I'd wear the scars with pride, hrau! And with any luck, so is she!

Re: Pfah! Gentlemen tell!

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

It is far from impossible to imagine that gentlemen Sleeth both never tell and always tell.

Re: Pfah! Gentlemen tell!

[stormydragon.livejournal.com]

Especially since any discussion of Sleeth Gentlemen is arguing the properties of a null set.
