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. ]

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

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!! ]

....what?

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

[ 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?

No.

[he just says that plainly]

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

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

I guess not but I have other talents than music! I- I can draw, or write lyrics for the band instead! My title is the Horror Lyricist, innit?

Right, yeah. Good point I guess.

[ He shrugs. ]

Okay, how about... What did you remember this week? I'm reaching, but just humor me.

Remember?

[There's a small pause.]

Well, uh.. I remember losin' my hearing, and drawing Osomatsu, and readin' aloud for Miss Gales, and the weird olympics thing and, uhhhh....

Not that, idiot.

[ Okay, good cop is losing his patience, I guess. ]

Every Sunday, we remember shit from back home. Don't ask me why, but that's been happening to everybody.

So, think back nice and hard. What'd you remember?

[2-D winces at being called an idiot, but he does think about it for a moment.]

Um. I remember... my bandmate Murdoc stranglin' me 'cos I was making a lot of suggestions for a movie we were gonna shoot.

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

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...

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.

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.

Doesn't mean you can't stun someone long enough to get an attack in. Besides, Maya wasn't exactly the sturdiest person around, and she's not used to fighting. It wouldn't take much to get one up on her.

I.. I guess I can't say you're wrong about that, no.

[He puts a hand to his chin.]

B-but I'm not very strong, either.

Even if you aren't, it doesn't mean you couldn't have done it. Maya was pretty small.

Besides, from what I saw of her body, she wasn't buried that deep. I'd think someone stronger would've done a better job with digging if they wanted to hide her body.
