Exam 3

[lockdownmods]

Exam 3.

[ Once again, 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.

Today Han is absent-- only Megumi is present at the front of the classroom. ]


Today you are responsible for finding the culprit responsible for the death of Maya Fey, the Apprentice Falsely Accused.

Your exam begins now.

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. ]

ASK ME ANYTHING IG

[pathofconquest]

I suppose it was only a matter of time.

Very well. If you have questions, then I shall answer them!

[He's taking this way too well. Ah... but then. That's just who he is.

To a future king and conqueror, being accused of a single death probably isn't much.]

[swordsinternally]

I'll ask you the same thing I asked Connor-san: what did you lose for the motive?

[pathofconquest]

My sight. It was inconvenient, but nothing I couldn't live without.

[Thanks Waver.]

[swordsinternally]

It sounds like you had a lot of help.

[pathofconquest]

Unfortunately it was necessary. I could only adapt so much in a short period of time.

[devotingly]

He was basically hopeless, but somehow we made it work.

[ shrug. ]

[pathofconquest]

It wasn't all that bad, was it?

[He loves you Waver but what the hell?! Rude.]

[swordsinternally]

Were you with him the whole time?

[devotingly]

Pretty much, yeah. [ and, looking away embarrassed: ] He’s been sleeping in my room for the past week and a half.

[covertizer]

You were with him the whole time these past few days?

[devotingly]

[ waver nods ] I-I couldn’t just leave him alone like that.

[buriedearth]

...Well, if you can't see, then there's no way you could've chased someone around and killed them yourself.

[ He can't imagine anyone trying to stab someone by themselves blind... and doing all of that. ]

[pathofconquest]

It would be difficult for most yes.

But I assure you it would not be impossible for me. No doubt that is why my name appears up there.

[buriedearth]

Can you tell me why it wouldn't be impossible for you? Do you have experience getting around without sight by yourself?

now with the right account

[pathofconquest]

I am the King of Conquerors after all. I have surpassed many difficulties in my life. None is too large to stop me, if it should get in the way of my goals.

[In other words, no, he's just... himself.]

[buriedearth]

...Right. I think I get it.

[ No he doesn't, um. Well, he'll just ask him what he threw at the other two just because. ]

Can you tell me what you were doing Thursday night?

[whatsmytalentagain]

[Rantaro ended up bringing that notebook he was carrying around all week. He knows he should have his voice back by now, but somehow he got used to just... Not speaking. Funny how that works.]

... Remind me again what sense you lost thanks to the motive?

[Yep, he can talk again.]

[pathofconquest]

My sight. It was fairly problematic, honestly. I was only able to function decently well because Waver helped me.

[donotlick]

Did you and Maya ever talk at all?

[pathofconquest]

...did we? No. I don't think we did.

[A real shame.]

[donotlick]

Ah. Well, that sucks. She was a nice girl.

[ He sighs. ]

You any good with a knife? I mean -- look, I won't mince it for you. Have you ever killed anybody before?

[pathofconquest]

I prefer a sword but--

It goes without saying that Alexander the Great has killed many.

[donotlick]

[ aaaahhhhhh yeah, that's. That's a thing. Okay. He's heard stranger. ]

That's what I figured. I don't think our murderer was good at killing. Stabbing at Maya all crazy like that after she was dead -- they would've been panicking something crazy.

[pathofconquest]

Logically that makes sense but-- We've completed two trials like this now.

Have you considered that perhaps it was set up that way to draw away suspicion?

...well. I just think we should consider the possibility.

[reshoot]

...Not to make accusations, but I don't think it would matter if our murderer was blind.
