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)

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.

Man, all of them! You're more like what I'd think a god would look like though! Something totally crazy.

[oi_theoi]

Oh, am I more godlike than the gods for my differences from them?

[lazily-jokin wet hairflip, scattering water]

[dothewave]

[sdjfa;]

More like I was surprised they all looked human!

[oi_theoi]

[it sounds like it would be a tsk if it wasn't so... wet and phlegmy-sounding. You can probably assume sie tsked lightly though]

Well, the gods and humanity do work together after all. Are you going to introduce yourself?

[dothewave]

[lol, uh oh, i am being pretty rude]

Right, sorry! My name's Yamamoto Takeshi. I just got here. It's nice to meet you...

[i was going to say sir or ma'am automatically but i don't know which so i will just. trail off :x]

[oi_theoi]

[offers a hand]

And I'm Ur'ghaste. Which name is your given name?

[dothewave]

[aw man, why... lolo heshe is totally doing this on purpose. TAKES THE HAND]

That would be Takeshi. Sorry but I am definitely going to mangle your name. Urugastu...?

[oi_theoi]

I'll call you Takeshi, then. [shakes the hand, then raises it to hir lips to kiss the back with moist lips]

You can call me what you like. Several people do.

[dothewave]

[fhgn. c-cracks up]

Ha ha! Oookay, is Ur okay? I can do Ur.

[oi_theoi]

[releases his hand, smiling mildly]

I don't mind it or anything.

[dothewave]

Gotcha. Well, Ur, I'm definitely gonna need a few things in your realm. You have a lot of helpful stuff.

[oi_theoi]

Of course. What sort of thing are you looking for, Takashi?

[dothewave]

Well, haha! [sort of. awkwardshy but he is still flat out saying it] Some lube actually, would be good? [quickly] Ahah, and sauce, I'm gonna be cooking a lot. Antibiotics sounds like a good idea to have too in this jungle... and just so I know, how much would a slow cooker run me?

[oi_theoi]

Oh my, do you have someone? Ah, it sounds like I'll be able to be very useful, certainly. Lube, antibiotics, and sauce will have a price that depends on the amount you want, and a slow cooker is somewhat on the pricier side. I could come up with tasks or animal part suggestions if you like, so long as you let me know what sort of supplies you're thinking of the first three.

[dothewave]

I guess I do! And I think an emergency supply would be best to start with. I'll be able to tackle the bigger stuff soon, but best to warm up first. Normal bottles?

[oi_theoi]

Would you rather physical tasks or performative tasks?

[dothewave]

Let's go with physical.

[oi_theoi]

For a small supply of a jar of lube, one green lizagon poison sac or rotted small animal part. Same for one small jar of antibiotic or one small jar of an individual sauce.

For a stewpot, four green lizagon poison sacs or two red lizagon poison sacs, or four rotted small animal part or two rotted large animal parts.

[waves a hand a bit dismissively]

I can also mix with interactive tasks if this seems like too much to hunt off the bat.

[dothewave]

[low whistle but he doesn't seem displeased]

I might have to bring this stuff to you one at a time! What's my options for interactive stuff?

[oi_theoi]

I'd imagine so. Most people ask for these things one at a time but there's nothing wrong with approaching something in bulk.

I prioritize having interactions with others where you must talk about personal elements of yourself or to have you ask them to talk about personal elements of themselves. I would be happy to make specific requests should you choose to go that route.

[dothewave]

Hmmm... Getting to know someone a lot better, huh? Because of the social differences part of your realm?

[oi_theoi]

Yes, and because many personal things are things people are reluctant to examine. But they are a part of themselves, so of course they deserve to be explored.

[settles back into a pile of tentacles as if taking a seat]

[dothewave]

[that is distracting. and kinda cool]

That makes sense. There's someone... well, I guess there's two people now that I want to learn more about like that.

[oi_theoi]

Perhaps, to cover all the items, I could give you two tasks -- one for the two that you want to learn more about, and one for total strangers who you may get to know.

[dothewave]

Oh, they're both strangers! Though I guess not total strangers, I've known them for two days. Does that count? I can meet more people.
