Ancient Of Days on :
I loved Night_Watcher's last line. The sarcasm dripped right off the screen and spilled all over my desk.

Fair_Weather_Friend[11:22]: Something weird happened today.
Fair_Weather_Friend[11:22]: I went to the movies with some friends. Night_Watcher[11:23]: Yeah, that is weird. You have friends? Fair_Weather_Friend[11:23]: You may not think I have a social life, but I actually do. It's not much, but it's better than yours. Night_Watcher[11:24]: I'll have you know that I have a girlfriend. Fair_Weather_Friend[11:24]: Inflatables don't count. Night_Watcher[11:24]: Ouch. No, I really do have a girlfriend. Fair_Weather_Friend[11:24]: Yeah, and I really do have wings on my heels like Mercury. Night_Watcher[11:25]: Fine, you don't have to believe me. But you were telling me about something weird. Fair_Weather_Friend[11:25]: Ok, so, you know how we thought that the girl was dead? Night_Watcher[11:25]: Yeah Fair_Weather_Friend[11:26]: Here's the weird thing. I don't think she's dead at all. I think that I saw her at the movie theater tonight. Night_Watcher[11:26]: WHAT? You saw her in the movie theater?
Fair_Weather_Friend[11:26]: Yeah, I think so. Night_Watcher[11:27]: Dude, you must have been smoking something. Girls don't look like that in real life. Fair_Weather_Friend[11:27]: No, that's not how I recognized her. Night_Watcher[11:27]: Huh? Fair_Weather_Friend[11:28]: See, I have this friend who's kind of obsessed with smells. He can walk through a crowd, and he can identify who's wearing which cologne/perfume. So, I was at the theater with him, and I smelled this perfume that I knew that I recognized. I asked him what it was. He smelled it, and couldn't identify it. He followed this girl around when she went to the bathroom, when she went to get popcorn, and when she walked out of the theater to answer her phone, and still he couldn't identify it. Is this going somewhere? Night_Watcher[11:29]: You have some very strange friends. Fair_Weather_Friend[11:29]: Yeah, I know. So anyway, he finally told me that he wasn't sure what it was, but he was sure that it was really rare, 'cause he would have recognized it otherwise. Then he asked me where I recognized it from. I had to think about it for a while, but then I realized that it was the perfume that she was wearing the night she knocked me out. Night_Watcher[11:30]: You're an idiot. You couldn't recognize her perfume. We still haven't gotten smell to work in the environments. Fair_Weather_Friend[11:31]: No man! I know that I recognized it. I remember. I remember laying there on my back, and thinking how good she smelled. Night_Watcher[11:31]: She must have hit you pretty hard, 'cause you were imagining that smell. Fair_Weather_Friend[11:31]: Could I imagine a smell that I've never smelled before? I'm sure that that was the first time I smelled that perfume. Missing log files. Disappearing bodies. Flawed environments. Are smells really that far-fetched? Night_Watcher[11:32]: Ok, let's just pretend, just for a second, that you did smell her perfume. What makes you so sure that the girl who kicked your butt and the girl in the movie theater were the same girl? Fair_Weather_Friend[11:32]: Well, they were both hot . . . GAAUGH Fair_Weather_Friend[11:32]: And besides, if Kamryn didn't recognize her perfume, then there are probably only three people in the whole world that wear that perfume. Night_Watcher[11:33]: Nice. So now, we're identifying a girl we've never seen in real life by the smell of a perfume that you never should have been able to smell. Very nice. Trackbacks

Great imagery, TML. When are you going to write us a story?

the only thing dripping off my computer screen was jam. Sorry about that Giggler.
Wren on :
It's probably a custom made scent. Some perfume companies will do that, especially if you've got money.
I want my own personal scent. Mmmm. |
