THE MOCK VICTIM

[strangerpeople]

[The morning atmosphere is quiet, when the Titled wake up. Not just quiet, but almost relieving. The strange sensation that they had felt since they received those terrible letters is, if not completely gone, certainly much lessened. It seems like whoever issued the threats has backed down.

It feels wonderful, doesn't it?

Though the faint, strange smell which greets their noses as they open their doors into the hallway of the Barracks might not be as wonderful as the weight that has lifted off their chests. It lingers in the air, hangs on the tongue. Its almost a bit annoying.

Perhaps someone ought to see what's causing it.]

[Nothing else is particularly conspicuous, in terms of new body parts of surprise hiding of things, but there is something about the body parts he's uncovered that Mikazuki might catch with his nose. Namely, that both legs, on top of smelling like blood, also have the smell of booze on them. Likewise goes for all of the cloth and clothing that they had been in or around.]

[He actually has a pretty good sense of smell, so that's... interesting. Is the odor strong enough that it's like they've been doused in it or would he not be able to tell?]

CW: Dismemberment

[strangerpeople]

[Not exactly hand-dipped in gin levels we're talking about here, but the scent is most potent near the severed ends of the body parts, and where those parts touched cloth.]

[deviloftekkadan]

[Huh. So wait, did the clothes and the fabric roll that the limbs were hidden in also smell of alcohol? Or was that just mostly blood.]

CW: Dismemberment

[strangerpeople]

[Mostly blood, but in the case of the fabric and clothing that the limbs were stuffed in, there was the faint smell of booze on them because. They were stuffed with body parts exposed to a decent amount of booze.

You know, like...a totally normal thing to do.]

[deviloftekkadan]

[Totally normal, what are you talking about.

Well anyway, there's the pile that Mogar's investigating, but is there any other source(s) for the alcohol smell here?]

[strangerpeople]

[Nope! Mikazuki and Mogar have found everything stashed here!]
