Cognitive Logic in Understanding Evidence; Wednesday, Second Period [01/06].

[died8yearsago]

The class instructions would direct the students to meet at the danger shop for each class, unless otherwise noted by the teacher, and if they were new and had trouble finding the danger shop, well...they probably weren't going to do too well in a class about finding things out, were they? Either way, as they arrived, they would find themselves on the doorstep of an elaborate, ostentatious mansion in the middle of a dark and stormy night. A butler greets them at the door before ushering them in, welcoming them to the party. "Mr. Corpse shall be down shortly," the butler assures them, leading them into the dining hall, where a long table awaits with chairs becoming progressively filled by classmates and your teacher. "He apologizes for the delay, but implores you to please, get started without him! So have a seat, and we'll begin!"

Once everyone was there and seated, the class did begin, twofold. In the butler moving around to place before everyone the first course of what is clearly a very fancy meal, and in Rosa looking them all over and explaining.

"Welcome," Rosa said, "to Cognitive Logic in Understand Evidence, a practical look at solving a very specific crime. For the purposes of this class, you don't know each other. You've never seen each other in your entire lives. We are all strangers here gathered under the invitation of a mysterious Mr. Corpse. Do you know Mr. Corpse? Is he a stranger to you? Who are you and what are you doing here at his party? All details that only you and our host are privy to....

"So," she picked up the glass of 'wine' that the butler had just filled before moving on to the next cup, peering thoughtfully around the table, "who might you be? And how is it that you know our dear Mr. Corpse? That will be our first class, getting to know our fellow diners, on this night where absolutely nothing could possibly go wrong..."

Okay but what if the name you were using was already sort of an alias? Um. Asking for a friend.

Even though using it made no sense, as Justin had swaggered around with 'Heartstriker' on his nametag and Bob had laughed at him for using outside of the DFZ and basically brothers were the worst, okay?

Eventually, as Julius watched the rest of the class go around, if you were already using a fake, play off of what was real?

"I'm Julian Hart," he said, borrowing his tone from his brother David, who was an Arizona Senator - every so slightly arrogant, even under the friendly. "My family have been well-acquainted for years with the Corpses." He tried not to wince at the unintended accuracy in that statement. "We travel in the same social circles - the old man even sponsored me in several of his old clubs and societies at school. As a personal favor to Mother, of course."

Oh god he sounded like so many of his siblings such a prat.
