BPAL: Lightning (take two) and De Sade

[oyceter]

So Lightning actually ended up getting much less aggressively ozone and quieting down into something more calming. Fitz-rat is also sneakier than I had originally anticipated. He is now a Vicious Attack Rat of Doom (or so he thinks), and he lounges about, quiescent, no longer sniffing and twitching at my strange-smelling wrists. So when I think he's not interested, he springs forward and attacks! It's so weird.

Fool-rat honestly seems to be uninterested; he sort of sniffs like mad for a bit and then genuinely loses interest. I can sort of see his blog:

Brother is acting stupid again. (I bet all his entries start out this way.)

Is quite clear to me that smelly wrists are not food. Why does brother think that they are food?

Stupid brother.

Will sleep in corner or groom myself while brother makes himself look silly attacking non-food-smelly-wrists.

De Sade: The essence of pleasure heightened by pain: the raw scent of leather.

Wow, they weren't kidding. It doesn't smell like much in the imp, but the second I put it on, I smell like a saddle or something. It's not really the dyed and polished smell of a leather jacket; it's much more raw, like there are hides everywhere.

Not sure if this is my thing.

Actually, am quite sure this isn't my thing, given that I don't like it. But it's really, really weird to smell like a tannery.

Fitz-rat pretended he wasn't interested at all, but I saw him trying to sneak up on me! I know his wily ways! Fool-rat was pretty bored.

However, I acted quickly and got it on Fitz-rat's back, and now he smells like leather! Hee hee. I wonder if this confuses poor Fool-rat.
