[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 flinches from that touch, more than he probably should. ]

Well-- Yeah, it did, but...

What are you saying?

MOD PING

[tiehard]

... Hey, doesn't hurt to ask, but if you want a hug, I'm here for that.

[he turns to the front of the class, where Viv is.]

Viv, take him off the suspect list and put me on it.

[supportrole]

What??

[tiehard]

You heard me.

I'm 99% certain you did it. But you wouldn't have, if Sherlock hadn't suggested it first, right?

[supportrole]

No! I-- why are you even so sure about this?!

[tiehard]

Because that's where the evidence is pointing.

I watched all the reactions-- if Sherlock was going to become a willing victim for anyone, it had to be someone he wanted to help.

You've looked awful all week, my man. And whoever gave you, a teen, bad memories like that? Deserves the ass kicking. Not you.

[niugen]

He was out of the room last night as well. Twelve can corroborate that fact, he's been staying in our room the whole week.

[ Sorry kinda not sorry Mishima. ]

[tiehard]

[WELL, HE WAS ALREADY CERTAIN, BUT BETWEEN THIS AND VIV.......]

[lifandi]

[Hey hey~ he still pretty proudly has the naughty cap to prove it]

Nine's right. Mishima wasn't in the room until closer to eleven. He was clean, but it definitely wasn't soap he smelled like.

[Nine might have been not in the best shape when Mishima returned, but Twelve had reasons to be awake and good senses]

[supportrole]

He already got that! I mean-- reliving all of that sucked, but it wasn't like I couldn't handle it. I already lived through it for more than a year, so-- you think I'd break after three days?

[tiehard]

No. If it hadn't been suggested to you as a quote-unquote "victimless crime", you would have held on a lot longer.

[escardos]

Mister Peralta?!

[heartcatcher]

But--but what if Mishima is innocent? We...we shouldn't be so hasty about this...

[curseoclock]

Huh? You can do that?

[itwasfeyt]

I-I think he wants to find out!

[curseoclock]

And I thought I was crazy!

[robomin]

...I can't do that.

[jAKE WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS.]

[tiehard]

Yes you can, you just don't want to.

Give the kid a break-- he didn't know what the stakes were, and someone, WHO SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS, put a stupid idea into his head.

[robomin]

You were not involved in this case. Please don't make this more difficult than it already is...

[tiehard]

Neither were 4 other people on that list.

Are you saying he was?

[covertizer]

This became more difficult than it needed to be the moment you started messing with us and attaching our lives as the cost of making everything better.

[ HELLO SOMEONE’S PISSED. ]

You started this so you fix it.

[recodified]

[ This seems to light a fire in her. ]

He's right. You want heroes so badly, Vivienne? You be one.

[escardos]

I agree. You have the chance to do something good, Viv! We can get through this together! For the sake of those that have died!

[robomin]

I didn't start this. But for my involvement... I'm just as much to blame.

But I don't have the power to do what you ask...

...I assure you... I would die just as fast...

[escardos]

Then what if no one makes a judgement!? We don't want to see anyone die!
