scent

Cre-eak. Cre-eak. Cre-eak.

The wood beneath the ghoul protested each step with a soft squeal, which might have worried her if she hadn’t been preoccupied. Lazhira didn’t weigh much. But the rickety stairs were the only way up that wouldn’t draw attention.

Once again, she forced herself upright and continued climbing.

(...bediscreet...shouldbediscreet...shouldbe...)

The edge of the bar was hers. From there, she could crouch and watch the food-people in the dim light. Smell them. Listen to their voices. Learn. Remember.

The rum was good, too.

I love reading flagRSP descriptions.  I'll even read them for characters I've yet to meet, thanks to flagRSP2 caching information from the data channel and providing a handy browsable list.  Some people favor short descriptions, some prefer the really long ones.  I've seen lots of interesting explanations of visual details that our avatars fail to depict, but I can't help but notice that terribly few people elaborate on a key sense that the game can't represent in any capacity -- smell!

Because so many players are guilty of this flagrant (or fragrant) omission, I thought I'd pester everyone to post this e-scent-ial information here instead.
