I Had a Skunk Encounter
A Risky Move That Paid Off.... I know I said in my last story that I'd lay off the skunk chasing for a while, but the urge got too strong and the coin toss was seriously in my favor, so I didn't want to blow what looked like a golden opportunity to get really nicely skunked. I'm glad I took the chance.
I got to the lake at about 2:30 this time since I had to run a game until about 11:00 and didn't get home until like midnight. Anyway, as I'm cruising toward the lake patrol I saw a lovely fluffy adult skunk off to the right. Now if I'd already known there was no traffic coming through for hours, I would've pulled off immediately and begun the chase. Alas, I parked much further down and when I went looking in that same area the skunk was gone. Thankfully, there WAS a skunk kit hiding in a two-way drainage pipe, and shining my flashlight on him bugged him enough to get him to leave the safety of the pipe.
Obviously I gave chase, but couldn't quite get his tail. I did throw my plush at him before he could make it back into the pipe and this meant Penelope got a fresh coat of golden perfume all along her left stripe. I rubbed her on my arms at once to properly skunk myself.
From that point forward I believe it was around an hour of searching both sides of the golf course before fortune found me a beautiful adult skunk, likely the same one I'd seen earlier. I had to wait a little bit for a motorist to turn around and leave before I could give chase, but once they did I went full-tilt. It's very interesting and cute to see a skunk that's running from you curve their tail for a mist-spray, especially because it means you'll feel that lovely musk sprinkle like dew upon your skin and the stink hits immediately. I thanked the little stinker each time, but I wasn't done. Penelope got another squirt all along her fluffy tail, and I had to leave her behind to catch up.
Eventually however I knocked the little stinker over with a quick tripping sweep of my boot, and got the tail. A nice heavy perfuming came my way, and I helped it along with my unique rump tapping method. I put each arm in front of the firing range to ensure a thorough dousing and when my hands were hit, I ran the musk through my hair like applying a conditioner. I musked my face, my neck , and arms thoroughly, not bothering to try for feet or anything else inconvenient since last time all that really succeeded in doing in the long run was getting me terrible flea bites in extremely unpleasant places x.x
I found a few other skunks in the next hour of seeking, but to my disappointment they were all VERY close to escape routes like hidden burrows along the rocks or fenced-off areas they can squeeze under but I can't. I did chase 2 skunks into a drainage pipe I could crawl through, but as I got about 70% to them, the little stinkers actually decided to dive out and swim for it, and by the time I got back out of the drainage pipe they were long gone to parts unknown.
It's fine though, I was very heavily sprayed, I milked that skunk dry as far as I can tell, and I'm reeking beautifully. The cologne I was so liberally splashed with is quite overpowering, a very gasoline-like muskiness with lots of sulfur and garlic overtones, really making me stink nicely. What more could a skunk seeker ask for in a night's chase?
