FIFTH TRIAL

[whimsicalism]

Is everyone finished? Good. It's time for a trial.

[The ride to the court room is uneventful this time. There's no breaking of bones or porcelain when you land. The podiums are rather empty, especially now that there's only twenty portraits even if there's twenty one podiums still. Huh. Fancy that! It's almost as if the Storyteller was still bitter.

Though, there definitely feels something off about the court room. It sort of feels like you're being watched but you're not sure.]

Seven is Dead. Time to find out who's responsible. Time for a trial!

I have the soap the hunting lodge bathroom uses, if we want to compare.

[strictura]

Might as well try it.

[octopups]

Oh, um... ok.

[Amdi is not super hype about his role as designated K9 sniffer unit, for probably obvious reasons. Still, he dutifully goes around the room, smelling people's hands and their more general scent profiles.

Again, he's not as good a sniffer as an earth dog, but he's a decent bit better than a human, and also there's eight of him, so.]

[xxxx_me]

[He'll hold up the soap for Amdi to smell for comparison's sake! ...Though naturally that means he smells like soap, too.]

[whimsicalism]

[You smell of soap but that's natural. You're clear.]

[battlestations]

[Nigel is around. I mean, Amdi would have seen him sleeping in the treehouse, but he's around.]

[whimsicalism]

[Nothing unusual here. Not even soap. You're gross but clear, though.]

[imozon]

[Dark Dream offers a hand for smelling.]

[whimsicalism]

[Nothing really unusual here, either. The soap smell is here but still clear.]

[strictura]

[ HE IS STILL NOT USED TO DOG SNIFFS AFTER ALL THIS TIME, but he will deal. ]

[whimsicalism]

[A vague scent of soap but it's normal. Clear.]

[ballooncaged]

[Mizuki is capitulating]

[whimsicalism]

[Probably a little bit of soap smell here but clear.]

[golden_king]

[ Smells like he cleans himself??

And maybe a little bit of Ancient Sumeria (d'oh ho ho) ]

[whimsicalism]

[Yep, a little bit of that scent here, then! But clear.]

[nothingposh]

[His hands are considerably cleaner than the rest of him, but.]

[whimsicalism]

[Like Nigel, there's a question if he has soap smell on him. He's his level of dirtiness, though, so clear.]

[ballooncaged]

...I honestly think it's incredibly suspicious that you've just discovered germ theory. But the blood and stuff would probably spread even further than the grip of the axe, so I don't know.

[battlestations]

That could be where the fabric comes in.
