Exam 5

[lockdownmods]

Exam 5.

[ 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.

Han is no longer here to watch over you. And yet at the desk, a beautiful vase of flowers sits by his name plate. It is Oswald who stands at that desk, though Vivienne watches him intently from the side of the room with a sharp gaze. But his eyes are frozen on those delicate flowers. With his knuckles white, he grips the desk as one, and then several more tears fall.

Vivienne waits, but he doesn't speak. So ultimately she's forced to do it herself. ]

...Professor Han was... a good man. It's truly unfortunate that he won't be able to finish the semester with you all I know... he would have wanted to. In... his absence, I will... do my best to support you in his place, the way he would have wanted to.

[It's hard for her too. This is... it's just sad. It's all just... sad. But they have to press forward.


Today we're here to find the person who is responsible for the death of Waver Velvet, the Apprentice of Magecraft.

...Take your time. The evidence you need is all here.

Victim.






Suspects.

Evidence

[lockdownmods]

[buriedearth]

[ Photos of the scene are here. ]

...It looks like there was a few books moved around, and there were several bottles missing liquids in the chemistry lab.

Re: Evidence

[swordsinternally]

[ I'm suffering linecon so have body evidence ]

[covertizer]

[ Photos of the scenes in the hallway are here.

Alongside those, Akira sets down a taser, with the prongs still out and a pair of latex gloves. ]

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

[Poe puts in a note describing the blood on the corner of the table in the computer lab. He also puts one in describing the drops of blood in the main building that lead upstairs to the computer lab.]

[ososoi]

[ Oso brings in a photo of a suspicious scuff on the carpet of the computer lab. The scruff is about half the size of a foot and some of the threading of the carpet came a bit loose. ]

Suspect Catchall

[lovedanime]

[Mitarai is at his desk, the little island of death, forcefully propping up his head with his elbows on his backpack.He's obviously tired... but he has a very serious and important question.]

Where's Golyadkin-kun?

[sendintheclown]

[NERVOUSLY SWEATING]

...Never mind that, Mitarai! I got you a get well soon gift, look!

[He pulls out a little paper crane from his pocket, made with nicely patterned origami paper.]

When you pull the tail, it flaps its wings!

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

.... What did he look like?

[.... He has a feeling he knows who that is.]

[buriedearth]

...I really have no idea who that is, but can you tell me what happened to you that night?

[ He's worried. ]

Bday girl AMA

[myliteratureclub]

[Monika glances as the now empty desk next to her and sighs.]

You make one comment and end up being a suspect. Figures...

[buriedearth]

One comment?

[ What a wonderful bday it is... ]

And can you tell me what you were doing Thursday night?

thief guy, AMA.

[covertizer]

[ Akira scans the room - the flowers, Oswald actually showing real emotion who knew he had any, and then the suspect list and sighs. ]

So, I just open the floor for any questions, is that how it goes?

[swordsinternally]

[ Hey, Akira. Tsukasa won't ask questions since he knows he's going to wind up biased so instead he quietly goes to reach out for his hand, if it's allowed.

He trusts you. Regardless if he did it or not, he'll support him. It's the least he can do. ]

[ososoi]

Okay... what were you doing on that night?

Suspect AMA!

[unhalting]

[He's looking over at the scene Oswald's making over there in the corner, but he turns if anyone approaches or tries to get his attention.]

You wanna ask something?

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

What were you doing Thursday night?

[Everyone is going to be questioned. It's only fair.]

Suspect AMA

[reshoot]

[Max looks...more than a little freaked out that she's up there.]

...I didn't do anything but...I'll tell you what I know.

[buriedearth]

[ Yeah, that's...

Still, he'll ask to get this out of the way: ]

Can you tell me where you were Thursday night?

early timeline account also cw needles + syringes all that good stuff

[swordsinternally]

[ OKAY I'M BACK FROM FLU SHOT HELL, SO...... let's do this. Shirou isn't going to let go of Akira's hand anytime soon, so everyone's going to have to deal with that.

Anyway. ]

Max and I were the ones who found Waver's body in his room-- but I should note that we had to ask Vivienne-san to open the door, since it was locked. His face was a pale white, probably because he was injected with a syringe. It was on his arm and there was still some liquid in it to the point where it was a rather disgusting color.

He had no external injuries, so the cause of death was probably poison-- I'd assume it's probably from the things that were taken from the chemistry lab.

I assume that he probably was injected in the computer lab and was trying to run away but was coughing up blood and went back into his own room. Apparently there was also a message on his tablet that said FUCK YOU, too.

Anything else I'm missing?

[covertizer]

There was a significant patch of blood by the door to the computer lab as well. Do you think he maybe coughed up blood there...?

[ Here, he has a photo of it. There's a patch about the size of an orange there. ]

Glove Check

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

[Poe goes over to pick up the pair of latex gloves up after a brief moment of hesitation. He brings them back to the group from the evidence table and looks around at all the suspects.]

I... I want all of you to try these on.

[Clothing checks have been invaluable in the past.... and no stone is going to be left unturned here. Waver... is not going to go un-avenged.]

[lovedanime]

[Mitarai is swimming in these gloves, that's just where his life and his choices have led him.]

motive questions time!

[ososoi]

[ Osomatsu tenses up before he assumes a serious look on his face. ]

...We might as well bring up the motive. Because that may or may not be involved.

The motive was kill someone and you get to send any message to any universe.

So! [ He addresses the suspects. ] I'm sorry I gotta ask this, but... What message did, or would, ya wanna send?

[myliteratureclub]

I can't lie... I'm pretty sure the motive is why I'm on the list in the first place. If I could send a message...I'd send it to the person I love.

But you'll have to take my word when I say I didn't kill Waver for that.

shoe check!

[buriedearth]

I thought it'd be a good idea to check people's shoes to see if there's anything that may be still stuck to them or otherwise.

[ So, show him your shoes, people. He's going to be looking at them from the bottom too, so he'll also be asking for people to lift their feet or take their shoes off!! ]

[covertizer]

[ He'll stick his leggies out and on the desk for you, Tewwa-chan. ]

injury check

[buriedearth]

[ ANYWAY

Terra's here again, making checks because someone's gotta do it. ]

I thought it'd be good to check people's arms and hands to see if there might've been an injury. There was a fight, and Waver might've injured whoever attacked him.

[ He'll be also looking at people's faces a little closely...without trying to make it awkward (he's not, like, leaning in for example, just doing it kind of sneaky-like.) ]

[lovedanime]

[Mitarai's hands are, as usual, tiny. There is no significant mark. The wrist area is likewise clear. His fingernails are entirely clean. They're so short he has to bite them, yet they're neatly filed all the way around.

His face is... Well, anxious. Not exactly marks besides the one on the back of his head, though.]

SNIFF TEST, I HATE THIS

[swordsinternally]

Since someone might have handled chemicals, I guess we can... try checking to see if anyone smells like chemicals.

[ Tsukasa absolutely hates this, but he's doing it to make up for earlier.


Also, he's taking the gloves from the tray and smelling them to see if they smell like chemicals, too, he has nothing left to lose. ]

[lockdownmods]

[There is no chemical smell just the smell of fresh latex.]

Let's take off our clothes

[reshoot]

[Max stands up, awkwardly rubbing the back of her neck.]

The arm check was all well and good but, in the interest of being completely thorough, we should probably do a full body check on all of the suspects.

...Which includes me and Monika, who would need to be accountable for each other, since, y'know.

Like I said, I don't want to do this, but it's something we shouldn't overlook. ...I don't want to leave any stone unturned.

[covertizer]

We could ask Vivi-chan if she could oversee you guys, in the name of keeping it as neutral as we can.

[ ... ]

And there's bound to be a blanket or something somewhere we can use for a curtain?

danganronpa 3 spoilers

[lovedanime]

[Mitarai takes a safety cap out of his pocket and puts it on the desk. He mumbles down at it.] I killed Waver Velvet-san. I wanted any remnant of the Future Foundation to be aware they should spread the Hope Video to as many worlds as possible.

[He looks up, his face covered in tears.]

I tried... all this time... to be like Naegi Makoto. I really wanted to believe in everyone's ability to work together... I thought all the time, what would Terra do? What had Kim-kun wanted me to do? I attended parties. I volunteered to help people. But no matter what I did, the murders kept occurring. And out there, because of D-756, even more— Again and again, I found out my words and actions were never going to be enough to help. I even talked with Terra, and he did make me feel so much better... but then I remembered. As Osomatsu would put it, some shit that I had gone through that made me even more cynical. Amami-kun knew something about the "Tragedies".

I've realized... the only way I'm ever going to reduce the amount of violence... is anime all along. IF it means I've disrespected a friendship... that's just how weak I am. It really is the only thing in the world I'm any good at. I know the type of preventative effect you're able to have with anime is too simple to be used outside of desperate circumstances... Like a taser if you will... You have to fight the fire of a phenomenon like D-756 with a concentrated stream of water.

I have a finished piece on the computer servers... It's not that strong, don't worry.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

..... What is the Hope Video?

[What did Waver have to die for?]
