EXAM 2

[lockdownmods]

Exam 2.

[ Like last time, the exam begins with the desks 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 deceased. 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.

Han is at the front of the classroom again, looking noticeably neutral about the entire setup. His laptop is closed behind him. ]

You know the drill. [his voice sounds soft, tight.]

Be careful with who you pick, as they'll be answering for their crime with their life.

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. ]

Hold on, Lieutenant. We have a Home EC room, don't we? It'd be very easy for someone to realize modifying a uniform would be a quick way to throw everyone off.

We can't say it's his for sure, not when it fits others.

[donotlick]

Sorry, Rebecca, but that doesn't fit.

This wasn't some premeditated frame-up, otherwise why crush the bottle? Why get all that fucking Febreeze, if they knew where Henry would be? We were all fucked in the head from the hallucinations, and the killer would've had to know where Henry was going to be that night, to pull this kind of a plan.

Did anybody else know Henry was gonna kill Hale, that night?

[throwabookatit]

Who's to say it was completely premeditated? I can't speak to anyone knowing beforehand, but! Someone could've, in the panic, remembered a...similarity, something to direct the evidence to someone else, and cut the sleeves in the time between last night and this morning. They would've had time, wouldn't they? Wasn't it said...that Henry was there overnight?

[donotlick]

Then why get rid of the jacket if they were trying to frame him? They went through the trouble of washing it, of carrying Grantaire's head in this thing and then spraying the fuck out of it with febreeze.

Doesn't make any sense to plant evidence and then toss it over the wall, where nobody can get it.

[throwabookatit]

I... I don't know. Obviously, we could get it, still, since some people have little regard for their own safety.

[ connor.... ]

Placing it so firmly on him just doesn't sit right with me. Not when...if we're wrong, an innocent person would die.

[donotlick]

I'm not trying to be mean here, Rebecca. It could've been an accident, if Henry thought Viral was a monster or something...

But honestly, if only one piece of evidence doesn't line up, and the rest do, I can't rule him out.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

[Sorry to interrupt Hank, but... Poe doesn't want to interrupt him but this evidence.... it doesn't fit. So... he's just going to cautiously start speaking.]

Erm.... Hank.... the bruise on Henry's wrist doesn't match the size of Viral's hands... erm... claws... and the killer could have simply come across Henry while he was enacting his plan...

[donotlick]

[ Hank shrugs. ]

I don't think a bruise should totally disqualify Viral from the suspect list. Unless we plan on matching up everybody's hands -- for all we know, Henry could've had the bruise before he was killed.

[buriedearth]

He's right. I don't think it should either.
