The Virose Vapors vissi is a chimera vissi that is part of the vissi system. It must be placed inside an arcarium to function. As a singular vissi, it has the same effect no matter what type of arcarium houses it.

Not every hero comes up smelling like roses; some are downright noxious. When eyes start watering and companions start edging away, who's really at fault: you or the vissi?

Currently available as a prize for each complete run of the Inquisitor's Pennant Chase, Lavatorium arena. They are also sold for aevit. See the full upgrade costs below.

Tier 1

The vissi provides a random ambient message.

Analyze

You analyze the Virose Vapors vissi and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

The Virose Vapors vissi can be added to a vissi artifact in order to augment the artifact with custom abilities.  Each vissi artifact may hold up to 5 different types of vissi, and each vissi may be upgradable by adding additional vissi of the same type to the artifact.

The Virose Vapors vissi is named Virose Vapors and it is a Chimera vissi.

This vissi notes the following ability information:

Surround yourself with a noxious scent from your companion vissi.

The vissi may have abilities you can activate by using certain verbs (RUB, TAP, PUSH, PULL, or POKE) on the vissi artifact you add them to.  In order to set the activator, use ATTEND on the vissi.  The vissi might not have an ability you may activate, in which case ATTEND will indicate that.

Sometimes, a vissi may have multiple abilities you can activate with the activator verbs.  You can TILT the vissi to switch between them.  Tilt will not respond if the vissi has only a single ability (or no abilities at all).  You may only have one ability active at a time.

In addition, the vissi may have abilities with customizable messaging options.  You can TURN the vissi to customize each set of options.  Once on a set of options, you can TWIST the vissi to cycle through the available customizations.

Finally, some vissi may contain ambient messaging, which you can toggle on or off with COVER.

It is currently tier 1 out of 5.  It is empowered by 1 thread.

Tier 5

The vissi conveys a custom scent.

Requires 86 duplicates to upgrade from Tier 4 to Tier 5.
First Third
Scent You have a malodorous aroma wafting about you, its potency so rank that a skunk would immediately disavow it. It opens with an acrid, almost vinegary top note that assaults the nostrils before expanding into a pungent, heavy musk that showcases a melange of oniony sweat, mephitic earth, wet goat, and other notes best left unmentioned. The effluvium is a balanced mix that only the most unhygienic could hope to achieve, which would be an impressive accomplishment if one could overlook the crime to polite society.
