ITP: inappropriate orifices

[In the one of the more livable regions of the cave this afternoon (evening? who even knows, in here), Tavros is examining a troll-sized tub of green slime that the fuk dwarves have just finished making for him. It's a deep, pearly pink, and the opening at the top of it looks like...well, let's be polite and say it looks like a Georgia O'Keeffe painting. The fuk dwarves have ideas about what holes in things should look like (nsfw).]

Wow, that's, a lot fancier, than I was expecting, with the decorative folds, and everything....

((pester Tavros about his obscene home furnishings! or pester the fuk dwarves for inappropriate boons of your own. everybody needs more decorative genitals in their lives, right?))

It depends on the humans. I was genetically engineered to serve, but some nations don't. Well, most don't even have the capability to breed to spec, really, where I'm from. Maybe it's different for you.

I...don't think I've ever done any of those. Are rap battles something like sparring with sticks instead of live steel?

[FLARPing sounds like something Setzer would say to distract me with nonsense while he was swapping cards...]

[So they also have an Empire...]

Oh. I've...never done that either. You have interesting customs.

If you're all supposed to serve in the Fleet, is the FLARPing like a training regimen?

[with a wry smile] Sounds more interesting than mine was.

[she glances back at the, erm, unusually designed sleeping apparatus] Did you want help covering that? Or do you want to leave it as is?

[shifting her sword belt so it won't get in the way of hauling heavy things] Okay. Where do you want it?

[she eyes the slime as she moves toward what she guesses is the heaviest part] This might be a little easier if we could decant the slime somewhere temporarily--or does that make it not function anymore?

Do we maybe have some buckets handy somewhere?

Are you all right? [considering whether it is appropriate to cast Scan to make sure he's not hurt or ill, why does no one explain the politeness value of spells in basic training] Was it something I said?

[she blinks]

[what on earth could be so embarrassing about a water container?]

Clearly I misstepped here...where I am from, a bucket is about such size [sketching outlines with her hands] and you use it for carrying liquids? Like water from the well.

[so puzzled]

[eyes widen, a blush roughly like wine spilled on snow starting to crawl up her face]

....You sure do use them for different things here. No, we don't...put....genetic material in there. I guess if you wanted to kill someone and drain their blood into a bucket you could fill it that way, but I'm guessing that's not what you meant. We don't, um.... [blushing redder] oh, hell with it. If someone could produce that much--or I guess several someones--it'd be pretty impressive, yeah.

....Well, now we've both accidentally brought awkward into this conversation!

[somewhat nervously] what about a tub? Or I mean I guess maybe I could just freeze the... [she looks at the slime] the filling material, unless that would negate its chemical properties. Chemistry was never my strong point.

[Is there something on my face? Oh well. Then there's something there.]

Let's start small, then.

[mutters] I sure hope magic works here.

[standing next to the slime, she closes her eyes and murmurs syllables softly, sharp-edged and crackling like thin ice. A halo of red light forms around her briefly, and then a wide band of blue light comes down from above? nowhere? and touches the slime, leaving a large section of it neatly frozen.]

[ooc: assuming that is okay. If not, let me know!]

[it is pretty much just ice! Well. Slime-ice.]

[studying it critically] It should at least make it easier to move.

[mutters] It's nice to be able to use this for something productive.
