Who are these strange green women? There is something about them that I find...unnerving. There is something about them that disgusts and disturbs me, but I'm not sure why. Aside from their strange pigmentation they look normal enough, so I don't know why I feel the way I do when I go near them. Does anyone here know anything about them?


[OOC: Basically, Raistlin has the same reaction to the pheromones as anyone else. However, since he still sees them age, albeit a little slower, the end effect is basically him feeling aroused when looking at someone aging and dying. And it creeps him out and scares him.]

[yeahscience]

Pheromones, bro. You gotta watch out for that shit.

[hourglass_twin]

I've never heard the word, but I don't like them.

[yeahscience]

Means they smell good. It's all chemicals and shit.

[hourglass_twin]

Good. Of course. And if they merely smelled good I wouldn't dislike it this much.

[yeahscience]

Uh... I dunno about that, man. Maybe you got some like, inner problems you need to look into.

[hourglass_twin]

Or perhaps I don't appreciate the pheromones when I see them aging and dying.

[yeahscience]

See the... pheromones?

[hourglass_twin]

No. The green women. I see time as it effects all things. I see them age, I see them die, I sense the pheromones, and the end result is revolting.

[yeahscience]

[Raistlin's mentioned this to him before, but he's never been quite sure how to process it. As an abstract concept, it's... well, it's seriously abstract. He squints, now, and decides to focus on the concrete.]

So basically you're saying you just can't ever get laid.

[hourglass_twin]

Essentially. [Long pause. There is one exception.} So long as they age. However, regardless of their aging, I'm not the sort of person who focuses on such bodily things. [Perhaps part of him would have such thoughts, but he refused to ever admit it.]

[yeahscience]

Yeah, maybe I wouldn't either, if the chicks were all getting all withered and old in front of--

[Wait. He narrows his eyes.] So what do you see when you look at Claire?

[hourglass_twin]

She does not age. She does not die.

[yeahscience]

Yeah. I know that.

[hourglass_twin]

Then you know what I see. She is not the first who does not age. She will not be the last.

[yeahscience]

I know what I see.

Seriously, ew-- you're not into my girlfriend, are you? [He's not really all that jealous by nature, but Raistlin, bro, you are gross and creepy and that's giving him bad mental images.]

[hourglass_twin]

Of course not! You may as well ask if I desired Rayne when she was here.

[Trick answer. He finds both attractive, but since he's not the type to ever act on it, it would be hard to tell from watching him interact with either.]

[yeahscience]

I may as well ask if you desired the super hot chick in leather, you mean?

[hourglass_twin]

Even if they do not decay, I do not like seeing that much of anyone's body.

[That much was true.]

[yeahscience]

Whatever, yo. Something in there's messed up, that's all I can say about it.

[hourglass_twin]

That does seem to be the consensus. [Everyone but his brother called him mad as well, though not with those words.]

[yeahscience]

Sucks.

[hourglass_twin]

What?

[yeahscience]

Being all warped up like that. I feel you, dude, that sucks.

[hourglass_twin]

I have nothing to compare it to, I wouldn't know. I wouldn't even say with any certainty that I am mad, only that I appear to be.

[doctor_j_crane]

If you hadn't gone into the port, you wouldn't have these problems.

[hourglass_twin]

I'm aware.

[doctor_j_crane]

You'll make sure to visit the infirmary when you return?

[hourglass_twin]

If I catch something, I will.

[doctor_j_crane]

You won't know if you've caught something unless you visit the infirmary.

[hourglass_twin]

Diseases often come with physical problems.

[doctor_j_crane]

Physical problems that can take some time to emerge.

[hourglass_twin]

And what makes you think I'll catch something from those who I barely go near?

[doctor_j_crane]

You're going to be in the environment. That could be enough.

[hourglass_twin]

Perhaps.

[strangehistorian]

Which green women? Orcs?

[hourglass_twin]

I don't know what they're called, they are merely women who are green.
