NICO LEHMANN
Just as Mikhail approved Alice's inclusion into their...walking group?...a girl fell onto Mikhail, who also tipped over.
Wow. She's gorgeous.
Wow, she's a fucking supermodel.
As Nico's flustered mind shifted into autopilot around particularly beautiful girls (Color. What's her hair color? What is it? Brown? No, no. Brown? No. Brown? No.) yet another girl came up to their group.
Teddy bear ears? Brown? No. Wait, bear paws?! Also brown? NO.
He barely managed to catch their introductions while he flailed around in his mind for his own name.
Nico. Your name is Nico. Do not open your mouth and say Nicobutt.
Then Alice appeared--literally appeared--on his right and pushed herself against him and Nico just blurted out the first thing on his mind.
"Nicobutt?"
He immediately slapped a hand over his mouth and froze.
"Nico?" he murmured through his hand, stiffly waving at Annabelle and Valechka for far too long.
"I just--Nico. I'm Nico. Hi, Alice?" he asked the greeting, meaning to ask why she was suddenly so close, but not quite getting there.
Nico's face was about the color of the vermilion thread he clutched in his hand and he began tottering forward, still distinctly aware that an actual female was pressed up against him.
Soft. Girls are soft.
Keep your mouth shut.
Wow, they smell really nice, too.
If you care about yourself at all, you will keep that hand plastered to your face, you dingbat.

@Ayemdar
Don't be. It took me an entire day to tap Nico and his brothers properly. (Well, relatively properly. I'm still stumbling here and there. And no one's caught me yet, hyukhyukhyuk.)
But I think it's awesome you're working that hard on tapping Annabelle. Don't worry, you'll get it.

Yeah, I only took a moderate issue with the sniffing "subconscious thoughts" bit, but that was just a miscommunication compounded by my misunderstanding, so it's not a problem.

Well, okay. If Mikhail is just jumping to all sorts of conclusions from what he smells off of Alice, fine.
But I think what I'm wondering here is "does she even smell that bad or is Mikhail just jumping to conclusions so hard he's landed on another solar system?"
If it's the second one, cool.

To be clear, if Scio greenlit the ability like how you described it originally, and this all happened in PMs, I'll bring my concerns to Scio.

I don't think so. As long as it's clear Mikhail is just smelling the general douchebaggery of humanity and is only spitballing about the particulars of what he's smelling, I have no complaints.

<Snipped quote by Menhir>
Presumption of Innocence allows a person to 'smell' a person's state of mind, their regular personality, and subconscious thought.
Unless this is all rendered through Mikhail's interpretation (and thus can be completely wrong), I think this is far, far too much information you would need from another person's character.
For example, if you objectively had olfactory knowledge of subconscious thought as well, you'd have to ask every single player you smell what they're really thinking if they didn't cover it in their post but you wanted to cover it in yours.
To put it concretely, Nico's general envy of others is a byproduct of his own self-loathing and inability to achieve anything noteworthy because he refuses to put genuine effort into most things. He's so certain he'll fail that he gives up before he even starts, and so he does fail most things and then writes it off as expected. Deep, deep down, he's aware he bombs things on purpose because he's scared of doing something right and doesn't want to be someone whom others expect anything from (because he's afraid he'll fail future expectations even if he succeeds in one or two things).
Can you smell that, too? Because then I have a problem with the ability.
