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.



[ 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. ]

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.]

Mods?

[myliteratureclub]

[Monika nods and steps forward. She will try on the glove for the group.]

[lockdownmods]

[They're soooo big on you poor Monika. You can wear them but it's not efficient.]

[myliteratureclub]

[Monika wiggles her fingers in it. It would look hilarious if this situation didn't fucking suck. :') ]

[covertizer]

Sure, I'll try them on.

[lockdownmods]

[Eh. They're still really baggy on you but they Work in a pinch.]

[reshoot]

[Max reluctantly tries on the gloves]

[lockdownmods]

[They are clearly Too Big. They're swimming on you.

[unhalting]

Sure.

[So, what's the verdict, mods?]

[lockdownmods]

[Eh. It's the best fit so far-- there's still some room in them but it's a decent fit.]

Glove Check Summary

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

.... Right.

[Poe returns the gloves to the evidence table once they've been tried on by all the suspects.]

The only ones these gloves could realistically function for are Akira and Orga.

[So that's narrowed down the suspect pool considerably.... although Poe hates both of those options. This Is Fine.]

[swordsinternally]

For the record, I absolutely won't vote for Akira, no matter what.

[sendintheclown]

So much for justice!

[Is that still his thing? he doesn't keep up with the teens.]

[swordsinternally]

Justice means nothing to me if Akira's dead.

[sendintheclown]

Then it never meant anything to you at all.

[swordsinternally]

That's not necessarily true. There are just things that are more important to me.

[ososoi]

[ Oso won't say anything about whether or not he himself would vote for Akira (he hopes not) but... ]

...You do realize you'd get punished fer not voting, right?

[swordsinternally]

I know.

That doesn't mean that I'll vote for him.

[ososoi]

...'Kay.

[ For now, they'll just hope that it won't come to that. ]

[lovedanime]

If just Tsukasa-kun voted for someone else who didn't get the majority of votes, I don't think there'd be trouble for anyone... I mean, Kurusu-kun of course, but... You know, this is all hypothetical; it's entirely possible he didn't— Um.

[covertizer]

[ ... Hm. ]

Have we thought about why gloves were used in the first place? We've seen a lot of crimes over the weeks, but no one's felt the need to use gloves. What's different about this particular crime?

[buriedearth]

I'm not sure. Maybe because they were handling those chemicals?

[covertizer]

But if it had to be injected to work, then... were they so volatile that they burned skin?

[ Actually, scratch that. ]

Is there a way to find out what the mix of chemicals was?

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

.... If Terra brought the textbooks... and the bottles had labels on them... I.. um... I wouldn't mind looking through them to try and match the mix if I don't recognize it right away.
