[QUOTE="InVinoVeritas, post: 4863797, member: 41485"] Ru, Darian, Rhiannon, and Cliff escort Camilla to the dining room to revive, while Eugene, Fr. Berman, Skyler, and Calahan examine the privy. With a little care and removal from the shock, Camilla reawakens. [COLOR=paleturquoise]"Oh, Dear Lady... Is my lord... is he really... Oh, oh no..."[/COLOR] Carefully ushering the remaining worms aside, Eugene examines the porcelain bowl. The stench of death and feces is grueling. Listening carefully to the police's questions, Camilla replies, [COLOR=paleturquoise]"Um, if you mean his daily menu, he has always had a taste for the exotic. He rather prides himself on being able to swallow any, eh, delicacy."[/COLOR] [COLOR=#afeeee][/COLOR] Eugene determines that there is little more to be seen from here, and looks for a mechanism for the toilet. Calahan kicks the bloody walls, but they hold solid as stone. [COLOR=paleturquoise]"He's had a number of aristocrats through lately. Lady Nostra, Archbishop d'Henri, Mr. Sceleris, Chancellor Markuzi. Commissioner Gis stopped by last night, but I suppose you know that."[/COLOR] Fr. Berman notices a small receptacle in the wall above eye level. With a quick boost, he confirms that it is filled with water, only slightly reddened by spatter. A short chain protrudes from the wall below the vessel, ending in a well-worn wooden finial. [COLOR=paleturquoise]"As for the privy, it's the new popular design for bedchambers. A separate room in which to relieve oneself, hidden behind a panel. The servant pours a pitcher of water into a high receptacle, eliminate into the basin, and pull the chain. Your effluence is dispatched directly into the sewer, washed clean with the water.
