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

|

Re: Day 33, afternoon
[seems pleased by this; looks like someone has a preference. Tucks some wet hair behind hir ear and coughs to clear hir throat again, thickly]
Find one person you haven't met before. My preference is for a new arrival, but I understand that may not be practical with your timeline. Well, regardless, find someone you haven't met before and engage them in conversation. During this conversation, try to ask them three questions to discover details about their personal history. I leave it to you to pick which ones work best with the flow of conversation to bring up actual details, but I'm thinking of things like "Who would you like to see again / why", "what was your profession and why", "Did you have a spouse, what were they like", and so on. When you come back to me with the results, I'll give you the two items.

[two little lidded jars! One is marked with an X]
Re: Day 33, afternoon
Which one is which?

Re: Day 33, afternoon
[taking the little jars finally]
Well, I guess that's all for now.
Re: Day 33, afternoon
Do take care.
Re: Day 33, afternoon
Much worse on that side! Although it could make for a really good punishment if need be.
You take care too, Ur'ghaste! I'll come back soon.
Re: Day 33, afternoon
Then I'll see you soon.
