The Smell of Things

by Petaluma Pitsniffer

Well, I've been traveling with some new people for a little while now. Strange group. Most of 'em smell OK though, so I'll stick with them for now. They look at me weird when I smell things, but how else am I going to know what to expect. Some of 'em assume it means I stink. Rude. Why would someone so in tune with scents and what they mean stink? Some people make no sense at all. What are ya gonna do? I really like this Moonin. She's a bird like creature that can't fly, only she CAN fly 'cuz of this fancy cape thing. She likes things that are shiny, and when she see something she likes, she takes it. Even if it's from a dragon. She's a hoot! She smells like copper. Then there's Nak'Cue. He's this sort of bovine looking fella. I think he said he's called a Furryblog. He's a real good guy. Always giving away his money to the poor. Of course Moonin usually follows behind and steals it back. She cracks me up. Anyway, Na'Cue smells like oak and animal. Not in a bad way. Then there's Ozzy. He's a real son of a bitch. Joined up about the same time as me, and promptly screwed us all over. He's real sorry though. I think he's gonna turn out to be a good egg. He keeps tryin' to get everyone to sign these funny parchments. Not me. Hell no. Dick me over once, you're the dick. Dick me over again, and I've got dick for brains. I'm not falling for it. Anyway, he smells of ink and parchment. Lanmin and Kavothe are brother and sister. She's a gnome, and he's a dwarf, so I don't really know how that math works, but whatever. I guess their family really like the gods cuz their both Clerics. They don' do much healing, but that's what they say they are. She smells like an apple. He smells like ale. He left for some reason. Said it was to go help his mom, but then he and his sister started fighting about if they even have a mom. Weird. Freya is kinda new. She's a real bad-ass, ass-kicker. One of the first things she did was start a huge bar fight with some pretty intense people. We almost died. It was hilarious. She smells like sweat and blood. Not obnoxious BO sweat, though. Now we've got a new guy. Avery, or Amy, or something. I don't really know what to think of him yet. He smells like pond water.
