three out of the four items in my last order are currently sitting unused so i decided it was time to bust one out. all signs pointed to mx297. the cougar and love boat mixes deserve more specific testing days.
last week i went to a callout for a photography club. there i was already somewhat of a “star” as i had more extensive knowledge and experience. i made a good impression with ig too. you can skim the full report here to get a feel for what i tried to do tonight: pheromone fried rice - #309 by jayarea
most of the members in this club are photography students. apparently this past week they had an extremely hard first round of exams. i’m not in that major so i can’t relate, but i assume it involves lots of studying and some practical exams. well, tradition (or “tradition”) holds that after this week, big parties happen within the photography students. the first one is on friday right after the exam; literally, people walk straight from the classroom to the bars near campus, then continue partying later at houses. the second one was tonight and is more open to non-photography students.
here’s where i come in with mx297. early reports indicate that it gives you a “rockstar” or vip vibe, in that everyone is amazed by you and wants to be around you. well, in a very modest and natural way, i’m kind of already like that within this circle of people. i came to the callout packed with info and now i’m unofficially on their board of directors as an adviser. i could’ve showed up to this party tonight phero-free and gotten that rockstar vibe. i wanted to see what else mx297 is capable of. sexual? social? succor? i knew i would be meeting new people, old friends, and girls, so it was a good opportunity to test all aspects. assuming it does give a rockstar vibe, then it was also a good opportunity to solidify my position and create a more adviser-ly aura.

house party
Appearance
in line with the party theme, which was fairly dressy. thus, girls were in dresses and guys were in khakis/button downs. good looks all around.
Self effects
nothing much. akuto smells nice.
Effects to others
no hits for about 30 minutes. i was a “new guy” and people were either meeting me for the first time or trying to remember who i was from the callout.
one minor hit from a girl who came up to me and said that her friend is doing a collage of photos of people kissing, and that i would make a great shot with her. couldn’t tell if this was a canned pickup line for kisses or a genuine remark, but she did have some light kino. i declined and we went our separate ways.
good social hits though, even before people recognized me. i found that a conversation could be started from almost anything – “what are you drinking?” to “how did you do on those exams?” generally i’m not so good with off the wall random topics like that.
then somebody who remembered me from the callout spread the word and the status hits came flooding in. like last time, people started looking over at me. when i met new people, they said “oh yeah, from the callout right?” and when i met old acquaintances, they asked me how i’ve been since the callout. again, confounded results since i already had a bit of status and wasn’t really testing that but it was good to see that at 1.fs, it didn’t make me seem like a db or anything. smooth, respectable status.
only a few ioi. disappointing turnout for girls tonight. either i came too early or late. one girl i know caught my mix and kept looking at me all night, got a compliment on my scent from another girl, and one girl truly bumped into me on accident and then just didn’t move away.
Duration of effects
~1 hour
Effects from mixing with other products
n/a
Range
mix carried about 10 feet.
good diffusion

Time of exposure
1.5 hours
conclusion
i left testing open-ended and got all sorts of results, which is good. shows the mix has lots of range. in future tests i can drill down individual aspects.
secondary conclusion
if game really doesn’t come back, i think akuto will be my replacement for it.
