[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...

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]

[notsumereiko]

..."Smelled like"? [He has a vague suspicion, but...]

[lifandi]

Like smoke. Not super strongly, he didn't smoke it himself, but it definitely wasn't negligible.

[notsumereiko]

Thank you for the information.

[Things were already pointing in Mishima's direction, but it's still dispiriting to hear.]

[tiehard]

Did he smell like smoke?

[lifandi]

Yup~ he did. I don't remember him ever smelling like it before, so I doubt he suddenly decided to bum a smoke off somebody here.

[tiehard]

Mmmmmmm. Increasingly uncomfortable with how correct I am.

God, this feeling sucks.

[lifandi]

[this is the feeling of being the only responsible adult here


~congrats~]

[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.
