Exam 3

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. ]

Hah! No way, I doubt that was it. I'm just saying, it'd be ironic, wouldn't it?

[ He shrugs. ]

I wouldn't begin to know why you could've done it. But right now the evidence is kinda pointing at you, man.

[12d3]

It.. it is?

[He's... he's asking genuinely he doesn't know things.]

[donotlick]

Mostly the music and shit. And the shoes. And the... well, music is important to you, yeah?

[12d3]

Well... yeah, of course it is.

[He looks a little bit upset at the accusations, though he can understand them.]

B-but I wanted to be the next Beethoven, if I couldn't hear.

[donotlick]

Hah. That'd be a good one.

[ God, 2D is so dumb but the evidence really does point to him. ]

Alright, how's this? What were you doing on Thursday night?

[12d3]

I was spacin' out in my room. I could't sleep 'cos I couldn't hear and it freaked me out a little so I ended up just looking at the ceiling, thinkin' about the stars.

[donotlick]

You could've, y'know, gone outside for that.

[buriedearth]

[ Hmm... ]

Can you tell me when you returned to your room that night?

[12d3]

[SORRY I LOST THE NOTIF FOR THIS]

Uhhh...

[2-D puts a hand to his chin, wracking his brain to try and remember.]

Maybe.. around midnight? I don't really remember, sorry.

[buriedearth]

[ Well then... ]

Around midnight?

[ . . . ]

What were you doing before you got to your room, then?

[12d3]

I dunno. Probably drinkin' some tea in the Home Ec room? Miss Gales showed me the different kinds of teas they got in there a few days ago, and I wanna try 'em all if I have the chance.

[buriedearth]

[ Hmm, Terra tries to think of something more thorough to ask here. ]

That does sound nice. When did you go into the Home Ec room? Just curious.

[12d3]

I don't remember.

[this boy has bad brain issues my friend]

Maybe around ten? O-or eleven?

[buriedearth]

[ Hank is so much better than he is at it, but boy he is trying. ]

...So, what you're telling me is that you went to that room late at night, had tea in there for either one to two hours and then headed back to your room.

One more thing:

You said you didn't talk to Maya all that much, and mentioned that she helped you out with hallucinations last week, but what about this week? Did you have a chance to meet up with her at all and try to communicate with each other?

[12d3]

Um... once. We talked once before I lost my hearing.

[buriedearth]

This week, right? What did you talk about?

[12d3]

Uhhh... it was when we got told to not stab each other? He said somethin' like... the purpose was to find out who wouldn't kill people and I said that I thought it was about us being heroes and Maya said that uh.... I think she called it a joke?

[buriedearth]

[ ... ]

... How did you feel about that, when she said that?

[12d3]

Angry, I guess. But not at her, at the people who told us we were heroes in the first place.

[Maya was pretty much right, honestly.]
