Kinda funny that Layla had said gesundheit to Chloe,though this got german rootage. I would expect her to say something in french,since her father is french.
I wanted to point that out.
I am Dutch with no German roots and I also have the tendency to say Gesundheit, rather then Gezondheid (Dutch for 'bless ya'). Likewise, I tend to say 'Danke' and 'Aye' instead of 'Thanks' and 'Yes' respectively.

In French it would have been (and will be) "à tes souhaits", which might have some ironic overtones here because what's happening might not exacly be what Chloe wishes... BTW, too bad Chloe sneezed only once: next one would have been "à tes amours"hokova wrote:Kinda funny that Layla had said gesundheit to Chloe,though this got german rootage.

-- and a third one would have called "à ta santé", which, considering the intent and effect of sending out succubus pheromones... well, let's just say Chloe might end up exhausted whatever happens.

Well the succudust might also work on bi-sexual females as well. That would be funny as well.TheEighth wrote:A Succubus is a demon that lives of the life force of mortal men. They appear to them in dreams to seduce them and drain their energy until their victim dies. Succubi are viewed as incredibly attractive to the opposite sex, bordering on irresistable. But Succubi only go after men. The male counterpart is called an Incubus, and they only go after women.Don Alexander wrote:Wait, wait, what is this talk of females not being affected???
(On the first page of the battle of Brooke Lynn, there's a boy with horns like Chloe.He may be an incubus)
Professor Twigitt said the hearts only seek out male prey. From this I can assume that the same thing happens with the Incubus and female prey. Considering the evidence, I can draw that her pheromone's may not work on girls.

Seriously, though... I'll grant you the second and third ("à tes amours" / "à ta santé") might be less than usual across the French population, but "à tes/vos souhaits" is the automatic response to a sneeze. We have possibly used "Dieu vous bénisse" around the Middle Age and great plagues, though.

Hmm. We'll see. Succubi of myth and legend don't discriminate between sex and gender. But we'll see how it plays out.Don Alexander wrote:I do realize all of that.

After all the shenigagins in Ma3, I'd like to see bisexually targeted succubombs!
Now all we'll get is girls being pestered by mindless drooling boys.
Maybe... an alternate universe on Slipshine??
And concerning "Gesundheit!", it's become reasonably international. Most people understand it, at least in the western world. I do know a bit of French, but have never heard of the terms Albert wrote.
@zoom: I hope not just Chloe!!! Unless of course we get a "Heel, kitteh!!!" moment when Layla actually does show she'd like Kade for herself... ;)
