Eileen Scent
OKAY! SO! I need to choose a BPAL scent for Eileen. I went through my scents, and picked out my possible options.
For post-attack, possessed Eileen I'm going with:
NYARLATHOTEP
Brooding, yet electric: the scent of buried secrets, roiling nightmares, the essence of the Crawling Chaos, the Father of Knives and Locusts, the Hunter in the Dark. This is the blackest of ritual incenses charged with flashes of ozone.
But what about pre-attack Eileen? Yes, they're different costumes and need different scents. These are my three possibilities:
EMPYREAL MYST
A hazy, soft, veiled scent: mist floating through twilit skies, curling gently towards the heavens.
OUIJA
Lush parlor rooms draped in thick velvets and gilded in gold, unearthly whispering in the distance, fleeting flashes of wraithlike figures rushing just outside your vision, the chill of a phantom presence brushing by your cheek, the inscrutable knowledge that disembodied eyes are peering at you from darkened corners… this is the essence of Victorian-era spiritualism: rosewood, oak and teak notes with wispy blue lilac, tea rose, dried white rose and ethereal osmanthus.
HAMADRYAD
Nature spirits and protectors of the world's groves and forests that appear as breathtakingly beautiful women. Hamadryads are born into a tree that serves as both a home and an anchor for the creature's soul. They are sometimes tricksters, sometimes seducers, sometimes helpful and benign, but they are always fierce and furious protectors of the natural world. Seven dry woods with mossy lichen and a gentle breeze of forest flowers.
Leaning towards Hamadryad, because I always associate Eileen with woods. And she does have a nurturing, protecting nature. But the other two could work, too. Any suggestions from my SH-familiar friends?
