Fred fails to remember basic hygiene. Now, before you berate poor (and
ignorant) Fred, do not fail to remember what kind of world this
poor bloke lives in. Considering the presence of dragons, witches,
warlocks, knights, kings and Bob (the apple-cart guy), one cannot dismiss
the conclusion that the world as Fred knows it is pre-industrial, pre-
technological, and pre-toiletical (if Lots can make up words, so can I).
We're talking an age without toilet paper, without toilets, and without
outdoor camping urinals. Soooooooo, before you get all holier-than-thou
on
Fred, just remember that he is a result of his environment. Which, at
this time, is very smelly indeed.
Try as he might, Fred could just not recall the eleventh grade hand-out scrolls. Except for the title of the first chapter all he could recall was the soft skin of That Girl Next to Him (he couldn't even remember her name, but when looking at skin names are the last thing on a guy's mind). Frustrated, Fred thinks about how he got into this smelly pit. The tiger. The two doors. The scream. This wasn't helping. Well, it actually was helping Fred forget about how little he knew about hygiene, but it was only raising his stress levels at the thought that that scream had belonged to someone's throat and that throat might be, at this very moment, in danger of... of... of something really nasty. Fred stands up from the muck, and the slime, and the piss (which happened to belong to Fred, but don't judge him until you find yourself falling down into a smelly pit!)
