[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...

[ ... ]

He smelled of smoke. [ Still disoriented, still uncomfortable. It doesn't seem Hollyleaf's going to be contributing much, but-- ] From that thing he put between his lips, like that. He smelled entirely of it. That...seemed off, not in line with the usual smell of death.

[tiehard]

Do you think he'd been smoking it right before being brutally murdered, and that's why it was so strong?

[recodified]

I don't know...but I would assume so. It was in his hand.

[tiehard]

Interesting.

And that smoke had no extra hints of something in it?

[recodified]

Nothing. The scent was...as his pipe was, but stronger.

[tiehard]

Was the pipe empty?

MODS?

[recodified]

[ You know that's a good question-- was the pipe empty? ]

[lockdownmods]

[ There was some leftover tobacco in the pipe. ]

[recodified]

No, it wasn't. There was...some sort of plant? Whatever it was, it smelled like the smoke.

[ Tobacco. She means tobacco. ]

[tiehard]

Iiiiiinteresting.

Have you ever smelled someone smoking a pipe before?

[recodified]

Not before this place. I haven't been around you humans much before.
