Ur'ghaste

[oi_theoi]

Ur'ghaste Moisture, Societal Abnormality, Growth through Stagnation	❧ Played by Harukami
Appearance: From about mid-torso up, Ur'ghaste is an androgyne who, unlike Tare, highlights strong sexual characteristics of both sexes to an overt level; sie has heavy, round breasts and a hairy chest, a fine growth of armpit hair, and, facially, a delicate and expressively beautiful face (finely defined mouth, arched eyebrows, large, wet-looking, soft green-brown eyes) with a ragged and magnificent moustache, the hairs of which are actually tendrils that move independently. Hir hair is long and braided into individual strands, but looks wet all the time, dripping down hir back. From below mid-torso, Ur'ghaste's human body unwinds into a mass of wet, fleshy tentacles, each of which have thousands of suckers on them. When Ur'ghaste speaks, it's hoarse and thickly wet, like sie has a throat full of phlegm sie hasn't managed to quite cough up, and sie breathes quite heavily (also wetly). Characteristics: Making people uncomfortable :) Likes: "Gross" things, making other people discomfited, getting sweaty, people rejected from their society's norm, being surprised, strong smells, pushing past your own comfort zones (or other people's), coolness and wetness. Also cool facial hair. Dislikes: True stagnation, boredom, politeness and courtesy, strong societal rules, obedience and dutifulness without examination of the rules (OK if it's something you want to do, but doing it for the sake of it sucks), living an unexamined life, refusing to get your hands dirty.
Shrine: A large chunk of wood gone to decay and oozing a fine layer of slime, smelling strongly of musk and wood-rot. Ritual: Interacting with it at all will get hir attention and sie may show up... but if you want to summon hir for sure, you have to lick it.
❧ Will Take	❧ Will Give
animal or plant parts which have gone to rot poison sacs of lizagons acts (done in hir name) to push either the requester out of their comfort zone or for the requester to push someone else out of their comfort zone) trimmings of facial hair used to shape your beard or moustache into an awesome shape or trimmings from pubes likewise done to make it in an interesting shape.	lubrication (personal or machine oil) sauces for foods< removal of mold (and similar) from rooms (or adding them to rooms if you want to spite an enemy) waterbeds (note: Waterbeds will get tacky after 3 weeks of use. As in, the surface of them will start to feel sticky. After four weeks, they will burst and send gross old water everywhere. So these are a temporary measure. Or for the adventurous at heart) slow-cookers and stew pots oil lamps paints acid ointments antibiotics shaving products food or drink made through fermentation, moulds, yeast, fungi, etc (alcohol, pickles, natto, miso, salami, pepperoni, sourdough, yogurt, mushrooms, blue cheese, chocolate, etc)
"❧ Exchange Rate

People are welcome to handwave any trades that make sense, and if it's something that you're not sure of (Like 1 jar of machine oil = 1 poison sac is obvious, but "A good supply of baker's yeast" may not be obvious), you're always welcome to grab me and ask.

[TASTES KIND OF WOODY/MUDDY - no sourness, just a kind of pervasive damp woody muck taste. That said, it kind of gets your heart pumping -- not badly, but a little like a slight boost to your system]

Hello again, Akito.

[akito]

[NOT THE MOST DELICIOUS TASTE... But that's a pretty cool side-effect.]

Hi, Ghaste-san. I brought you some rotting things for some machine oil~

[oi_theoi]

Thank you, darling. Let me just get that for you.

[produces a pot, apparently made out of hollowed-out punk wood, and ...drips a black greasy substance from a tentacle into it...]

[akito]

...

[That's really weird...]

[oi_theoi]

[covers it with a carved screw-on lid and offers it over]

[akito]

...Thanks!

[Accepts it!]

By the way... Ghaste-san, your shrine gets disinfected after people lick it, ne? Or do everyone's germs stay on it..? I don't want to catch something weird from the perverts here.

[oi_theoi]

Don't worry. My shrine will never harm you.

[akito]

[Dubious look at it.]

You're sure?

[oi_theoi]

Why don't you try to believe in me?

[akito]

There's a difference between being harmed by and getting sick from! Also, I try not to put all of my faith into other people.

[oi_theoi]

Faith in yourself is important as well.

[akito]

Ah... That's something I'm still working on...


I hope that less people are disgusted by you soon, Ghaste-san. You're nice, and have useful things to give.

[oi_theoi]

[wet laugh, clearing hir throat] How nice you are.

[akito]

Not always!

[He thinks that, maybe, if sie wasn't a god of those on whom society frowns, he wouldn't be quite so willing to accept Ur'Ghaste. As it is, he feels like this is the kind of god that works best for someone like him.]

...Are you ill, or is it just because you're a god of moisture that your breathing sounds so.. wet?

[oi_theoi]

I'm not unwell.

[akito]

Good! After all, if you get ill who am I going to get my A-T lube from?

[oi_theoi]

Yes, we wouldn't want that to go badly at all, would we?

[akito]

[Oh man... Just imagining it...]

U-Un..! If my A-T stop working, then I won't be able to do anything. So I'm glad that more gods are arriving that have the supplies I need.

[oi_theoi]

Your A-T?

[akito]

[Points to the skates on his feet.]

What I needed the mechanical lubricant for.

[oi_theoi]

[ducks curiously to look at them] And you can do nothing without them?

[akito]

I can't do what I want to without them. Without them I can't hunt or fight or fly. This place would be the worst kind of hell if I didn't have them.

[oi_theoi]

What fascinating little machines.

[akito]

They're the best! I've been learning a new way to use them, though it's hard to adjust the style to suit male hips. But it's something fun to fill the time with, ne?

[And will help him get strong enough to find Agito again. '-']

[oi_theoi]

For male hips, you say?
