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. ]

... Have we looked into the stuff sensei found? There's a lot there that seems completely random, but there's blood on it so it's got to be involved.

[donotlick]

Who the fuck is "sensei"?

[throwabookatit]

He's talking about me, Hank.

[ Akira calling her that too.... She's touched. ]

[donotlick]

Ohhhh.

[ Hank nods. This makes sense now. ]

I got it, because you're a teacher.

[covertizer]

...

Rebecca-sensei. She's a teacher. [ And one that has been okay enough for him to be fine calling her that. Ranku up? ]

[donotlick]

Gotcha.

That means we're back at the guitar. Orga made a good point -- who'd be walking around with one of those if not 2D?

[covertizer]

A number of us have been receiving guitars in the random box regains. It's... not impossible any of the other culprits might have received one as well.

[devotingly]

Alright, why don’t we list off the people that have gotten a guitar and crosscheck them with the suspect list?

[whatsmytalentagain]

Because the guitar may have been stolen?

[devotingly]

No, because it would give them an easier access to an... unorthodox murder weapon.

[12d3]

...I play the keyboards, Mister Anderson. I dunno how to play the guitar without listenin' to it.

[donotlick]

That's bullshit, I've seen Feel Good Inc! You can play the goddamn guitar.

[ I've seen your music video!! I'm a fan!! ]

[12d3]

....what?

[If it looks like 2-D doesn't believe you Hank its because........ well, he doesn't.]

[donotlick]

[ Oh, yeah, he doesn't remember... yet? Whatever. Hank's also getting 2D and Noodle mixed up. What a bad fan. ]

I just mean -- look, we've seen you play. And if you really can't play without hearing it first, wouldn't that give you a motive this week?

[12d3]

No.

[he just says that plainly]

I don't care about playin' the guitar. I can play the piano without listenin' just fine.

[donotlick]

But could you? I mean, without listening to it -- was playing music even doing it for you at that point?

[unhalting]

...Doesn't your profile mention that you know how to play guitars?

[12d3]

Yeah but I'm not an expert at it. I get the chords mixed up a lot and I'd need to read sheet music if I wanted to play deaf but I can't...

[unhalting]

Even if that's the case, it doesn't really matter if you know how to play or not. You would've had a reason to be messin' around with one, deaf or not.

[12d3]

But.. it was an acoustic guitar that was broken, yeah?

[here it comes.. his one brain cell]

Even I know one'a those wouldn't be able to kill someone. Probably not even knock 'em out.

[reshoot]

...2-D, you played the guitar in front of me.

[12d3]

I didn't say I didn't know how to play! I just can't do it without hearin' what I'm playing 'cos all the chords get mixed up!

[devotingly]

And just by playing the keyboard means that he frequents the music room, regardless of whether he can play the guitar or not.

[12d3]

If I went in there it'd be to play the piano!

[buriedearth]

When you've got a moment, you need to answer my question.
