>> Oh, fluffy fluff is just perfect tonight. It's frigid air and exhaustion around here, and I definitely needed that. <<
Yay! :D
>> The thing about the right smell is good - I cannot be around actual smoke due to environmental sensitivities/asthma, but the faint scent makes me think of some very nice memories. <<
A good fireplace doesn't make the room smoky. On the other hoof, without any smell of smoke, a gas or video "fireplace" doesn't register as real. While some people react badly to smoke, more people can enjoy a faint trace of it -- which is what you get if you put incense into a very large space. (This is one reason why Catholics burn frankincense & myrrh in their huge churches; it's usually an outdoor incense, but if they used the indoor kind, most people couldn't smell it more than ~20 feet away.) The tower system is designed to compartmentalize air flow in case of emergency, which means that people who enjoy incense can have it without bothering people who find it uncomfortable. This is important for the Avengers because Bucky would freak out if anyone started coughing or wheezing.
