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.

[ Looks like you're good as well, Orga! ]

Everyone so far's got nothing on their shoes. So it looks like whoever did it was careful about making sure they didn't leave anything that might've stuck.

[ Or cleaned it off. ]

[covertizer]

There was a scuff mark too, wasn't there? Can we measure size or markings with everyone's shoes, or was it too indistinct?

mods?

[buriedearth]

...Let me see.

[ While he's still over here in Shoe Inspection Land, Terra will see if there's anyway that scuff mark could be compared to the size of people's shoes. Or, would it be impossible? ]

[lockdownmods]

[It's not large enough for a comparison, unfortunately.]

[buriedearth]

It doesn't look like that's going to work out.

[ See: above comment. ]

Let's think about something else. We know that there was a confrontation between Waver and his killer. Maybe the one responsible will have an injury somewhere.

[ososoi]

Didn't one of ya mention a strip search? Or an injury check?

We can try that.

[buriedearth]

Yeah, an injury check would be good to do first.

[ Look at how fast he replied to that one. Shh. ]

The easiest place for people to get injured are their hands, arms, or their face.

[covertizer]

Are you asking us to strip, Terra?

[buriedearth]

[ His face just turns red. Akira pls! ]

I didn't--!!

[ He was about to protest, but technically he realizes he implied it. ]

There are other places to check on someone before doing a strip search...

[swordsinternally]

You know if you really wanted to strip them that badly you should have just said so in the first place, Terra.

[covertizer]

I'm surprised you didn't suggest it first, actually.

[swordsinternally]

I mentioned it earlier, actually.

[buriedearth]

That's not what I--

[ he can't even speak for a second, he's dying of embarrassment. ]

...Anyway, like I said, we're going to try the other option first.

[swordsinternally]

It's okay. I won't get jealous if you end up staring at Akira.

[covertizer]

[ He can't help but laugh at that. Oh Terra. ]

I'm teasing you. But, I'll co-operate with whatever in general.

[buriedearth]

[ He just gives him a look, but-- ]

...Thanks, I guess.

[ And he'll get right on that, just give him a moment. ]

[covertizer]

You're welcome.

[ Terra, you suffer so much. ]

[myliteratureclub]

I am seriously not okay with that.

[covertizer]

[ ... Hmm. Right, the only girl her age is on the suspect list as well, and with Rebecca gone... ]

If you're uncomfortable with all of us guys seeing, we could make a screen and ask Tess or Vivi-chan to check.

[reshoot]

...I agree, since Monika and I are both suspects, there's not really...

Yeah.

[covertizer]

[ Protect the girls...!!! ]

Yeah. It's not fair to ask you to just remove your clothes at a word.

when you respond to the wrong comment rip

[unhalting]

If you think it'll help, then go for it.

[like, he's already taken his shirt off before in front of you terra, he doesn't really care.]

lmao it's okay

[buriedearth]

I think I will.

[ FOR THE RECORD, HE DIDN'T CALL FOR STRIPPING (yet).

...And he doesn't take it to mean 'yeah it's fine if i strip it all off' or whatever. ]

[unhalting]

[he would strip it all off only for you man✨

i say, being full of shit at least 50% of the time]

[buriedearth]

[ Oh my god fishy pls ]
