Pass The Salt
I had to get smelling salts once when I almost fainted. It was INTENSE

It seems it was eons ago that Sam sealed off Millefeuille’s leg with her dermal precision application device or whatever.
I foresee Brun and Sam bonding intensely.
Melon probably huffs smelling salts for breakfast.
And then she sees a 10 hour rave in 5 seconds.
When you’re done, please return the bucket to the walrus. He misses it.
When I was a teenager, my godfather tricked me into sniffing smelling salts as if they were a faintly scented candle. Took a big whiff and it was like time slowed down as I felt my sinuses expand, my lungs implode and I briefly felt I could perceive all universes simultaneously before doubling over in pain. He of course thought it was hilarious.
I haven't experienced smelling salts, but one time in high school chemistry class, we had to do the 'waft ammonia toward you to get a little bit of the experience' bit. One of my asshole classmates (but I repeat myself) must have thought that I was being too cautious, and shoved my head over the bottle, where I took a deep sniff by reflex. I can't say what it smelled like as such, but it sure occupied my entire universe for the next minute or two.
Given their mostly robotic clientele, why do they even have smelling salts? Maybe they have some function for testing olfactory capabilities on AIs too.
I had no idea people still used smelling salts! It sounds like such a 1800s thing...
They're very popular with hockey players. You'll see them on the bench between shifts passing packets around. Supposedly it boosts adrenaline but I don't know if that's actually true. I guess now that Jeph's in Canada he's acclimating to the culture up here.
What does it smell like?
I understand it to be so acrid that the whole body recoils.
I demand explanation of the nuclear facility rule. How do buckets influence neutrons?
I don't want to be a boron the subject, and if I'm going to be your moderator I would just slow you down, at least for up to ten minutes and eleven seconds.
I have had to endure smelling salts before, that smell... PERSISTS... it's a curiosity one shouldn't take likely (and if you DON'T smell anything from it... uh... please get to a COVID testing station stat)
It's basically just ammonia, which will definitely get your attention in even small doses.
Obscure fact: buckets are strictly forbidden in nuclear facilities, because they're one of the leading causes of criticality accidents.
Neat to learn these little-known-facts. Thanks YZ!
The Bucket is one of the really basic tools.
The other of course, being the Stick.
I have no idea who will be the bad influence on the other between Sam and Brun, but I look forward to find out.
I found a smelling salts capsule while cleaning out my grandfathers house. Crushed it out of curiosity. Wooof!
There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza...

Awful small box for a human-analogue femur. Just sayin'.
it probably has to be assembled first
Sam!
On the one hand Faye is essentially a robot surgeon, and really should develop a least some bedside manner. On the other hand I hope no one ever tells her that.
"Just gonna pinch this off and come back to it later" SPLORT SQUISH "So how was your day?"
Me at the dentist office
I play rugby and ammonia is a very aggressive and common thing haha
what are smelling salts
salts that are smelly
Hi Sam! And somehow I don't think Brun is susceptible to impulse hurling, but you never know.
I think if someone challenged me to come up with a group of four people I would love to see interact, I'd struggle to come up with a better bunch. I'm here for this.
Inc party of five soon with Bubbles as well, or so would be my guess :)
The worst is ammonia inhalants. Sits in your nose for a good 10 min or so.
Yeah, you definitely don't want to sniff those. They may be effective, but that is one nasty smell!
The secret revealed! There are no AIs, just brainwashed humans with extensive cyberware and prosthetics!
I'd say it's like taking a big whiff out of a horseradish jar
Try snorting dry wasabi powder like cocaine...
Smelling salts are a WHOLE OTHER LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE.
