How would Casta Scribonia call her private parts?

[DirtyOldMan]

I found that the game mentions this highborn woman's book a lot, and hints at her career as a writer, yet I have yet to find a single book in the game with her name on it. I have installed the COBL thing which adds libraries of books, but again, none with her name. I have found a plug-in from Maeva Scribonia, someone claiming to be Casta's estranged sister, and she writes some damned fine stories.

 

So I decided to try my hand at filling the gap. But then I got stuck.

 

I know various English words for the male genitalia, usable by either highborn and lowborn. I know several and various raunchy terms for the female genitalia as well. But Casta is supposed to be a highborn woman with erotic tints to her writing (though Woman Gone Wild suggests more than just a tint.) In several scenes now,  pretending to get into her minset in order to write the way the game says she does, I have had to write the nomenclature of the female genitalia, and quite frankly, using words like pussy, snatch, box, cunt, love tunnel, slit, slot, mound, and so forth just do not fit the text I am trying to create.

 

So, as the topic title say, does anyone know the terms a highborn woman would use to call her private parts?

If you're stuck, and flinch from using the common vernacular for such vulgar terms, something women -including my significant other, 'Maeva' don't seem to bother about, then I suggest going back to some historical references and use antiquated references to the same thing.   A quick glance at Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales", even in Wikipedia, will turn up an interesting vocabulary, from The Wife Of Bath, or the Miller's Tale, etc.

 

Such words as 'queynt' would not shock a modern reader, but mean the same thing.

 

Glad to hear you enjoy 'Maeva's' Books.  Always looking for suggestions to improve the mod.  There will be another update, with more books that Maeva has given me, coming out in a week or so.

 

By the bye, did you read the book "A Rogue's Jest"?   It might give you some ideas for your opus, as it gives some back-story for the 'Woman Gone Wild' tale.

 

Regards,

 

Trippy.

[DirtyOldMan]

Thanks to both of you.

 

I have downloaded the linked file and shall be perusing it presently.

 

Maeva has more? Outstanding! I really like her writing. In fact, that was what got me inspired to fill in the gaps of Casta's supposed works.

 

Maybe one day I will post one of them here. I assume nobody here will have any issues with sex and violence, and dirty words occasionally?

[Trippy_the_Squirrel]

She hasn't released her entire library, but there are a lot of books (and a quest)  in this omnibus mod:  http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/45922/?

 

If you complete your version of Casta's book, perhaps Maeva could carry it in the bookshop?

I shall try to put it up in a thread. If it is deemed worthy, we may discuss details (credits and such. I will probably insist that my character's name be associated with it. DirtyOldMan might not sell so much in a land filled with such...)

[Trippy_the_Squirrel]

Can credit any way you like.   Would appreciate your feedback on the "Rogue's Jest" story, once you've had a chance to review it.

 

Cheers,

I have not had a chance to read that tale yet. I assume it is in the download to which the link refers? I shall peruse it presently.

 

I have a pinched nerve in my neck for a few days now, which incapacitates my arm and shoulder with shooting, burning pains. The opiates the doctor gave me help reduce the pain level, at the cost of some serious psychedelic episodes of wooziness and spacing out. So please understand. 

 

Once I find the tale and read it, I shall indeed grace thee with my feedback. If it is anything like her other tales, it will be a joy to read and a pleasure to enjoy.

[Trippy_the_Squirrel]

Please don't get the impression that I'm being pushy.   I thought it might amuse you, given your project.  The story is second in a short series of 5 which follow a particular character through various adventures in Cyrodiil.  It includes Casta as a character  (and, if you're the break and enter type, there is a letter triggered by this particular chapter on a table in Maeva's private quarters in the cellar of the Bookshop.)

 

Sorry to hear about your situation.   I'm guessing that it keeps you from playing the game, or working on your opus.  Hope you're feeling better shortly, and that's not entirely due to my curiosity about what your take on "Woman Gone Wild" will look like.

 

Yes, it's in the mod at the other end of the link.  You can buy the book in the Bookshop, or find the Hidden Library and get all the books, or buy a guide book from the Bookshop, and let the book reviews in that guide you to a present owner from whom you can 'borrow' the book.

 

Regards,

 

T.

I have found the tale and read it. It was of the high quality I expected, with a light, roguish tone through the tale and a wonderful plot. I did not realize, however, that the protagonist was a woman until the middle of the story, though. Then again, if it was a part of a larger series, that might have been explained in the first part. I found the tale rather intriguing, and the set-up and execution of the plan quite well-done.

 

I liked the background into Woman Gone Wild as well. My stuff is a bit more steamy, more actual smut really, but that can fit in well with WGW. Hmmmmm...

 

I shall post one of my lesser tales in a new post, for the enjoyment of all. It is "The Pearl Diver's Tale," and is one of my earlier works. Another, the Maid's Rescue, sounds eerily like a plot I read about here- a maid is attacked and rescued by a passing Legionary- but with a twist. I might post that one later.

[Trippy_the_Squirrel]

I look forward to seeing them all.  Hopefully, you'll drop a hint in this thread when you do, so I know to go looking for them.

 

"Rogue's Jest" is the second of five stories with the same character.  The first introduces the protagonist and gives some backstory, and provides some similar plot tone.  The last three are the parts of the concluding story for this character (I think).  'Maeva' always does a nice job with character development, and they are all quite different.  I wish she'd just give me all the stories she wrote for Oblivion, and be done with it.   But I get them one or two at a time, like cat treats.  (Not that I eat cat treats, but you get the idea...)

Writers can be like that. Meow.

 

I posted the Pearl Diver. Simple tale- girl goes swimming, comes out, gets raped, gets revenge. Like I said an earlier tale, and short. A bit graphic, too, but I enjoyed writing it. I tried to get into Casta's mind. A later tale, The Debutants Ball, is a long and wavering tale of one graphic depiction after another. A sort of Fifty Shades of Pink. I think I will start off with the shorter ones, though Debutants Ball and Blood or Desire would be Casta's masterpieces to rival her Woman Gone Wild.

@DirtyOldMan,

 

may i suggest to check out the writings of that old Bard, William Shakespeare. He was very fond of using euphemistic terms for both the female and male parts, as well as the acts themselves, without sounding too crass to our modern ears (although some expressions were scandalous back then). 

[Trippy_the_Squirrel]

Very true.   Shakespeare, if you can read the language well enough to get the full meaning, is full of dirty jokes, ethnic jokes, and stuff that was considered scandalous at the time (and still).  Enough to persuade the groundlings to part with a silver penny and stand through a whole performance.
