Midterm Exam

[lockdownmods]

Midterm Exam.

[ 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 and Vivienne both are at the front of the classroom, but it's Vivienne that finally speaks up. ]


Today is your Midterm exam. Having successfully passed the halfway mark for the semester, today's proceedings will be a little bit different.

You are responsible for finding the culprits responsible for the deaths of Doris and Hank Anderson. You will have several hours to discuss the evidence and your decision. Know that there are two people among these here that bear the responsibility for these events. You will be asked to vote for each. The two with the highest number of votes will receive their punishment.

...Your midterm exam begins now.

Victims.






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. ]

Hand + clothing check

[buriedearth]

So, I know I'm a suspect, but...

[ There are two murders, so it's not like it's too strange for a suspect to propose something to be for sure. So, he's going for it. ]

I think it might be a good idea to check for injuries or if someone's clothing is out of place. If you have sleeves, roll them up too.

Someone can look over me if they want--or come along to help. Whatever works.

[ For the record, Terra will show his hands to whomever decides to do as described, as well as roll up the sleeves in his school uniform. His arms and hands are clean. If people are looking at his clothing, they'll notice it has no strange rips/tears/coloration in the fabric either. ]

[preconstruction]

[ Connor is injury free and his clothes are fine. ]

[lovedanime]

I'll - I'll look at Terra, everyone. You'd have heard in my talk with Orga and Megumi - if I knew he'd committed murder and didn't say anything, I'd be a suspect.

[glance... pat]

[unhalting]

[Well okay, since Terra can't check himself over so Orga will do so.]

He's clean.

[pathofconquest]

[Both Alexander's hands and his clothes are clear. His hands and body have old injuries, but it's fairly clear that's what they are. His clothes are also perfectly in tact. He just got them back, he'd like to keep them that way.]

[destroythefuture]

[Looking rather nervous, Mike shows his hands and arms, like requested. No marks. He steps back if someone approaches, though. He wants everyone to look at him from a distance]

[buriedearth]

[ Hmm...

Terra will see what happens if he steps closer. ]

Is something wrong?

[destroythefuture]

Personal space, that's all!

[Although he's doing all he can to keep facing Terra no matter what]

[lovedanime]

[okay well I guess they're just double teaming so Mitarai can sneak behind. his low height might come in handy]

[destroythefuture]

[You being so sneaky, Mitarai. Your reward is to see a rather small patch of burnt fabric on his back]

[lovedanime]

[...he snaps a pic of it with

his cell phone

one second]

[throwabookatit]

None of us have objected on account of "personal space." It sounds to me like you're hiding something.

[destroythefuture]

It sounds like you are hiding something!

[Ah, the classic 'no u' defense. The most mature defense to use in a murder trial!]

[throwabookatit]

I've been perfectly upfront, about everything. You seem to need prodding, very so often. [ Rebecca's right next to him, after all. She just...shoots a glare. ] How come? Because you're one of the culprits?

[destroythefuture]

I haven't killed anyone, I swear!

[unhalting]

So you were just watchin' your hat as she attacked Hank?

[buriedearth]

[ That gets him to narrow his eyes. ]

Someone's dead, and you're clearly involved. The way that fabric on your back looks is clear enough.

Nothing you say is going to take away from that.

[throwabookatit]

[ Though she's uncomfortable about the whole thing, Rebecca will let herself be examined. Her clothes are fine, and she's injury free. ]
