Hope this larger turnout doesn't mean a greater chance of us smelling something foul and abominable from the audience.
Yes, I've read some horror stories of people who have been victimized by people with persistent B. O., especially in pop culture conventions.
There have been several explanations as to why there are attendees with nasty aromas, but they usually boil down to two major ones.
Either they forget to spend on hygiene products because they've spent it all on their favored merchandise, or they're simply lazy.
Thank goodness that in this festival, there are additional marshals who monitor attendees' hygiene.
If they are detected to have the dreaded B. O., they will be asked if they've taken a bath, put on some deodorant, or both. If they did, they will then be asked when.
And if someone is detected to have chronic body odor, they will be asked to be treated in the nearest hospital post-haste.
