Spprk, Super Private Eye #5! Odorant With Sunglasses! (97)

Spprk was doing her routine crawl in the forest when she smelled something strange. The smell started getting stronger and stronger, so Spprk sprayed some deodorant up her nose to keep away most of the smell and then went to find the source of it.

On her way, Spprk came across an Utikimilj*. In addition to preventing her from going any further, which is to be expected, it was also singing a lullaby, which got Spprk so excited she wanted to tape herself to the nearest cloud. But Spprk was on a case right now, so she waited until the next day, Western Tree Day, the start of an annual period in Weeble-Wooble when it is illegal for Utikimiljes to exist. The Utikimilj promptly disappeared, and Spprk carried on.

Her next obstacle was a mechanical rhinoceros. Actually, this wasn't much of an obstacle; Spprk kindly asked the rhinoceros to move out of the way. The rhino moved to reveal a sentient stick of odorant** wearing sunglasses. Her odormeter started quacking like somebody was giving away free pianos; this was almost certainly the source of the smell, but in order to close the case, Spprk had to be sure.

"Are you producing a strange smell?" asked Spprk.

The odorant answered, "Yes."

"That's another case solved by Spprk, super private eye!"


The End
*An Utikimilj (ooh-TEE-kee-milj) is a tiny sentient opera house that will stop at nothing (except eggs wrapped in banana peels, of course) to prevent living things from passing it. It knows the answers to all the mysteries of bacon and communicates by sneezing. It can often be found singing very exciting tunes.
**Odorant is the opposite of deodorant. Need I say more?
