[Entrance Exam] Final Exam

[lockdownmods]

Final Exam.

[ It's all happened very suddenly, but regardless, you're here now. The evidence has been examined and collected. You've now been ushered into the classroom to discuss the murder of the great detective himself, Sherlock Holmes. The traditional set up has been disturbed-- all the desks are now arranged in a perfect circle; one desk for each person that's participating in the program. There are nameplates for everyone, and they have been bolted to each of the desks, facing the inside of the circle...

...including the names of the ones who are no longer with you, the Prospect of Elucidating and the Prospect of Murder. Their chairs have been placed on top of their desks, signifying that they will not be needed. Above of their desks are holograms of their portraits from their profiles, grayed out and bloodstained.

At the front of the classroom, Vivienne sits anxiously behind the teacher's desk. The projector shows Sherlock's portrait, along with five other portraits that are listed under an auspicious header. ]



Victim.






Suspects.



[ The physical evidence tray sits in the middle of the circle of desks; you all have the Evidence app on your tablets to access photo evidence. And although she appears reluctant, Vivienne gives some final instructions. ]

Your final test... is to find the culprit. Naturally... the person you find guilty will be... punished... so... make sure you look for an answer you're... confident in. An error in judgment would be... cruelly... fatal...

Oh! Oh! Do you have the towel? And the knife?

[itwasfeyt]

Right here!

[>Present

That sure is a bloody towel with a knife in it.]

MOD PING

[tiehard]

[how bloody is this towel. bloodier than a still bloody knife?]

[lockdownmods]

[ It's actually pretty damn bloody. Bloodier than the bloody knife for sure. ]

[tiehard]

Crime scene cleanup, huh.

Oh, hey, Maya, congrats on not being a suspect!

[itwasfeyt]

Thank you, detective! [It's just what she's always wanted.]

[escardos]

That...looks pretty bloody. I mean I know the cut was in the neck and that spews a lot of blood but...what if the culprit cut themselves with it?

[starswink]

If they were clumsy enough to stab through it in the first place, it seems possible!

Is there any way to tell whose blood it is though?

[escardos]

Not unless someone has a sudden blood testing thing with them?

[ a shrug ]

But! If that person hurt themselves, then they would have a cut on them!

[starswink]

.... I knew that!

This would be really easy if someone was cut like that! We should definitely check.

[tiehard]

That's a possibility, but I think the bigger possibility is that they cleaned up the murder site.

[escardos]

Oh.

[ well that's a disappointment. But what if--! ]

What if someone got blood on their clothes!? Or their shoes!?

[tiehard]

Definite possibility.

We didn't see any abandoned clothes, right?

[itwasfeyt]

...Should we check if anyone has blood on them?
