[sometime in the afternoon, after the student council wraps up for the day, someone takes control of the overhead system. the voice sounds some sort of way, but it starts anyway.]

Good afternoon! I’ve decided to break up the monotony and the dreadful tones we’ve had over this past week with a little game. It’s a scavenger hunt of sorts, because I have information on some of the murders that you all haven’t figured out.

But I’m not going to just give it to you, so you’ll have to participate!

I’ll give you the first clue.

“On the rare occasion that the average detective takes a break, he needs somewhere to store his things. Small, perhaps, but he may have something deadly to hide!”

Let’s see how you do!

Nope, not a bit. But there's no point in worrying about it, since you gotta accept the premise if you wanna play the game. Well, that goes for both sides.

[ Really, all games were founded on the idea of trust. However much deception and cruelty there was, there also had to be an adequate level of trust - the one running it had to trust players to see it through, and players had to believe they could achieve their goal. If you burned them one too many times, they'd stop playing... Though if he'd been doing this for as long as he'd said, perhaps he would have be adept at taking those risks. There were plenty of people who would put their lives on the line for a game.

No point in worrying about that now, either way. Ranger wasn't really playing to begin with, but just one more reason not to if it's unwinnable.

Shifting back to the idea of the network, he waves the PDA. ]

'Kay, so all that information should be on this guy, right?

[ Or at the very least, it could be possible to rig it as a hotspot or something similar; there were plenty of options. Which, Ranger assumes, means there was another issue with either connecting it or extracting information from it - it's not like there was much that could be done with the built in features. Might as well ask. ]

[Ranger's hit the nail on the head. In the end they're kind of cheating, themselves, trying to shortcut this way... Shin at least has already been burnt enough to want to.]

Yep, let's hook it up.

[I've been assuming they're doing this in the workshop, so there probably is a connecting cable within easy finding and handing over reach.]

Alright, I'm on it. Let's see what we can get, then.

[She sounds rather interested--and more than that, there's excitement. Because if this works, then there's a whole world of opportunities to be shown. She's so glad that her expertise is for this sort of thing.

But if it doesn't work, then -

That's just another thing to be frustrated over.

Time to plug in!]
