Mystery/Horror

Find out where the smell is coming from please ^^ (Just checking I DK if i already asked i'm very forgetful but is it ok if I have a dog with me? [sorry if i already asked >.<])

((Yup, you can!))

You decide to try and find out where the scent is coming from, but it is hard to pinpoint, as the stench is coming from everywhere. Actually, there's something rather odd about it. It seems to be growing increasingly stronger by the second. With your own nose, it's impossible to determine where the smell is coming from.

What do you do?

Can I see if the dog will follow the scent? (It's a german shepherd mix named Maximus)

If not -
Walk down the hallway and see if i can find out if the scent is coming from a classroom

You manage to get Maximus to follow the scent. He lowers his muzzle towards the floor and begins tracking where it's coming from. He walks to the left side of the hall. You aren't sure why, but for some reason, you're getting a rather unsettling vibe from the left side. The feeling hangs low in your stomach, a knot of dread forming in it. It's still impossible to make out what lay at either end of the hall.

What do you do?

Follow Maximus but make sure to stay alert - take out the my switch blade from my back and hold it in the hand not holding the phone - just in case (It's a small blade - only about 5 inches long - Also is it ok if Maximus doesnt have a leash - you know off leash and is the small switch blade ok?)

If i can't have the blade just Follow Maximus and make sure to stay alert

((Totally fine. :) )

Deciding to follow Maximus, your footsteps echo down the hall. It's weird, to say the least. The hallway seems endless, as if it has no ends. There have been a few classrooms, however, none from which the smell is coming from. Maximus abruptly halts. You stop as well, as the light reflects on the shiny, metal surface of the lockers, you catch something from your peripheral vision. A crimson stain is streaked across one of them.

What do you do?

Go look at the crimson stain - keeping an eye out for threats as I do so

You walk up to the stain, inspecting it carefully. It looks a lot like blood, but why would it be blood? It's just an old school. Maximus stands a couple feet away, waiting. Though, he does seem to be in distress. His ears are down, his tail somewhat lower than usual. There's only one way to find out whether it's real. You bring a hand towards the stain. Using your nail, you scratch it. It comes off, the texture exactly that of dried blood,

What do you do?

((Sorry to leave it at this for tonight, but I'm going to bed now--long day tomorrow))

It's all good

I look around too see if theres a body or anything nearby - any where for a source of where the blood could have come from

I try to push through the crowd, having the intent to help out if possible.
