Everybody Panic

[failgoyle]

[Sorry, network, you'll never know peace so long as Jules still walks Liminal Space. Have some more screaming.]

There's a Drow here and Zaknafein said they were bad news, and this one's got some kind of MURDERCAT and he just surprised me, and I don't know what I'm gonna do, and he ABSOLUTELY REEKS, this is what death smells like, I am pretty sure this is what death smells like...

BUT I NEED HELP!

Only "pretty sure" that it's what death smells like? [You either know what death smells like, or you don't.]

[failgoyle]

It's some kind of really nasty concentrated funk, you tell me!

[Enjoy a lovely little bit of sensory livestreaming of...well, that is some really gnarly BO mixed with the funk of the sea.]

[thornsofmalkav]

JULES.

You just sent that smell to everyone.

Why?

[failgoyle]

...to...make a point...?

And so everyone else would know to run at the smell!

[...which they would probably be doing anyway, because, really, it's pretty rank.]

[thornsofmalkav]

We'd be avoiding anything that smells like that anyway!

[failgoyle]

It's a warning that this smell exists, then!

[thornsofmalkav]

We don't need to be warned like that.

[solvethepuzzle]

[Ew. Yeah, his nose actually wrinkles here, but obviously it can't be seen because why would he ever bother to broadcast his face.]

That's unpleasant. But it's not death.

[uzoda]

If it's death, it's death at sea. Ugh!

[solvethepuzzle]

It isn't death; I am familiar with what that smells like. [This is so encouraging.]

[uzoda]

[Not gonna question that.] Well if it's not death, then what is it?!

[solvethepuzzle]

[The answer to that is actually not as terrible as imagination would leave it to. Oh well.]

It strikes me more as the scent of someone who has not bathed in quite some time. [Near may suck at looking after himself, but he at least washes.]

[summerorange]

[hope you don't mind the slight gagging noises coming from this lovely gal's end.]

--why did you do that?!

[failgoyle]

...to make a point?

And I'm warning you people! Does no one want to be warned of danger?!

[summerorange]

There's no need to do that to make your point! Show us what you're facing and where you are!

[So that she could actually go save you...and maybe force you to stop panicking for at least one moment.]

[failgoyle]

It's...uh, too late, I...uh...just teleported out after the others reminded me I could do that...

[bite_the_hand]

...That's not what death smells like. That doesn't smell nearly as bad as death.

[Granted this is coming from the guy from a culture that doesn't mind BO and thus rarely spends the effort needed to bathe without indoor plumbing. You're all just lucky he fell in love with the concept of hot running water and showers that take zero effort. Although that doesn't change the fact that he's extremely familiar with both smells and is thus entirely certain that that smell isn't death.]

[failgoyle]

It's still pretty rank!

[bite_the_hand]

It's not that bad. Do you have to try turning every problem you have into some kind of emergency?

[failgoyle]

But this is an emergency!

[bite_the_hand]

How is you being a wimp about some smell you don't like an emergency!?

[fearinahandfulof]

Have you... not smelled a dead body before?

[He was in Bando. How had he missed it?]

[failgoyle]

Look, I have, and this reek combined with the terror of it all just feels similar, alright?!

[fearinahandfulof]

It's not really the same, though.

[And Cassandra would know.]

[failgoyle]

Okay! Okay! So I was reaching for dramatic hyperbole! Happy?!
