Skunkie's a striped skunk with long, glossy, black fur. A white strip starts on her forehead and runs to her nape where is splits into two parallel stripes and runs down her back and on to her tail to its tip. Her ruff, chest, and belly fur is white. She's wearing a white, cropped t-shirt and a short, pleated, tartan (ancient Black Watch pattern) skirt. On her feet, she wears a pair of white leather sandals. She's carrying a white leather purse by the strap over her shoulder. She holds her tail upright behind her in a delicate "S" curve and it sways gracefully as she walks about the room. Carrying: Sunglasses [lookat] |
Skunkie's got a pair of cheap sunglasses perched on top of her forehead. She doesn't really need them to protect her eyes, she's just wearing them to indicate that she is one of the 'sung lasses' (as opposed to the unsung ones). Bleah. [She's really got a song of her own, but it may not be such a good idea to ask her to sing it. >:P ] |
My smell had also been determined and has not been changed since:
Skunkie smells of strong mustelidae musk that somehow is not over powering and yet somewhat spicy. |
Skunkie's a striped skunk with long, glossy, black fur. She's wearing a short, pleated, tartan skirt. On a second look you realize she's also wearing a fuzzy black tank top with white stripes on the front and back that match her fur almost perfectly. On her feet, she wears a pair of white leather sandals. She's carrying an off-white leather purse by the strap over her shoulder. She holds her tail upright behind her in a delicate "S" curve and it sways gracefully as she walks about the room. She wears no jewelry except for a plain golden band around her tail root, fitting so snugly you'd think it was teleported on. There is something attached to it that you can't quite make out from where you're standing. (Try 'look Skunkie=tail' if you're really curious.) Carrying: Velvet Choker |
Discretely parting the back of the young skunkette's skirt for a closer look, you find that the plain golden ring is fastened by a short chain to a small silver clasp attached to something under her tail. As she turns around and smiles at you before she bends slightly forward to give you a better view, you realize that the peaceful little fur has peace bonded her stench gland. |
A choker made of fine, purple, crushed velvet. In the center of the choker, surrounded by small diamonds is a 1 1/2 inch round amethyst. The amethyst glows softly, shifting from bright to dark purple constantly. |
About the end of the summer I got The Idea (tm) and changed my description to look like THIS (It also includes a few details, like the eyes, which came later. This, by the way, is the version Mark is working on):
Skunkie's a striped skunk with long, glossy bicolor fur and big blue jump-in-and-drown eyes (!). She's wearing a short, pleated, tartan skirt and a fuzzy black tank top with white stripes on the front and back that match her fur almost perfectly. Or rather, it would have matched if her fur had been black and white, but for some weird reason it has turned *red* and white, except for her hands and feet which are still black but yet look different - they are not "skunk black" any more. On her feet, she wears a pair of white leather sandals. She's carrying an off-white leather purse by the strap over her shoulder. She holds her tail upright behind her in a delicate "S" curve and it sways gracefully as she walks about the room. She wears no jewelry except for a plain golden band around her tail root, fitting so snugly you'd think it was teleported on. There is something attached to it that you can't quite make out from where you're standing. (Try 'look Skunkie=tail' if you're really curious.) [Sorry, look traps don't work everywhere fur some reason... And don't whisper or page to tell me it doesn't work in the park, I *know* that!] Carrying: Reason (why her fur is like that) [lookat] |
"Are you sure you want to know?" Skunkie chirrs quietly. "Oh well, it's bound to come out sooner or later anyway... Well, I met this weirdo who wanted to shave me, just to see how a skunk looks without fur, see? Silly (and curious as well!) me said yes on the condition that I got something to restore my fur afterwards, and, well - you're looking at the result! How was I to know the idiot was color blind and gave me a foxfur potion by mistake? I'm starting to like it though, and the potion seems to have had an effect on the fur roots as well, so it looks like I'll be a fox skunk for the duration... Like it?" |
Aother question that has been asked by some players is who this weird fur who shaved me is! I'll have to answer this one OOC because it is not a reference to any particular existing character, it's just a story my player made up! Okay? ;)
And that brings us almost up to date. As winter came, various furs would change into thicker fur or warmer clothes, and even though the muck does not have much in the way of climate, I still thought this was a good idea, and finally came up with this version:
Skunkie's a striped skunk with long, glossy bicolor fur and big blue jump-in-and-drown eyes (!). She has finally got around to changing into her winter clothes. She still wears a plaid skirt, but this one is longer, thicker and made of soft warm wool. She also wears a pink turtleneck sweater with a small Amiga logo discretely placed over her left breast and an "Intel Outside" mark on the right shoulder, a long multicolored scarf with ends reaching almost to her knees even though it's wrapped at least three times around her neck, and dark blue snowboots on her feet. Albeit her new clothes cover more than usual, you can still see enough of her fur to notice its peculiar coloring: Red where a normal skunk is black, except for her hands and feet which are still black, but not quite 'skunk black'. She still carries her ubiqutous off-white purse in a strap over her shoulder, and her outfit is topped off by a pair of silly-looking bright red earmuffs. As she turns to look back at you, you catch a glimpse of something green, and at a second look you realize she's got a twig of mistletoe clipped to her short, fuzzy headfur. She holds her tail upright behind her in a delicate "S" curve and it sways gracefully as she walks about the room. She wears no jewelry except for a plain golden band around her tail root, fitting so snugly you'd think it was teleported on. There is something attached to it that you can't quite make out from where you're standing. (Try 'look Skunkie=tail' if you're really curious.) [Sorry, look traps don't work everywhere fur some reason... And don't whisper or page to tell me it doesn't work in the park, I *know* that!] |
Skunkie's a striped skunk with long, glossy bicolor fur and big blue jump-in-and-drown eyes (!). Curiously enough, she is red and white rather than black and white. (Except for her hands and feet which are black but not "skunk black") After finally shedding her winter attire she is now wearing a knee length red and white checkered skirt. (Feel free to take a closer look, but see the note below about look traps) On a second look you realize she's also wearing a fuzzy tank top with red and white stripes that match her fur almost perfectly (similar to the black and white one she wore last year before her fur changed). Her dainty feet are still wearing plain leather sandals, but this year the color is tan. She still carries the same off-white leather purse by the strap over her shoulder, though. She won't part with it, some say it's magic... As she turns to look back at you, you catch a glimpse of something green, and at a second look you realize she's got a twig of mistletoe clipped to her short, fuzzy headfur. She holds her tail upright behind her in a delicate "S" curve and it sways gracefully as she walks about the room. She wears no jewelry except for a plain golden band around her tail root, fitting so snugly you'd think it was teleported on. There is something attached to it that you can't quite make out from where you're standing. (Try 'look Skunkie's tail' if you're really curious.) [Note: Look traps don't work everywhere fur some reason. If they don't, try 'look Skunkie=tail' or whatever instead.] |
Something familiar about that pattern, you muse as you give the rather plain (except for that pattern) skirt a closer look. Oh yes, it's the same pattern as an Amiga Boing Ball. Guess that makes it a Boing skirt. Heh. And yes, she's an "amigite"; at least her player is. You didn't think dressing like that was *her* idea, did you? ;) (see http://Skribenten.tripod.com/furry/Boing.html) |
