Season 1 / Eloise - "Overboard" [The First Trial Projection]

Tatsuko Onizuka

That's… a lot of words. Going very fast. Tatsuko.exe has stopped working.

Ellie Carter

You've been investigating the vision laid before you for a minute now... The odd papery world of it had distracted you, but as you mentally adjust to it you realize something else is strange— the wardens had entered this projection too, but they're nowhere to be found.

Kaoru Naito

"…….."

He's staring at the map and looking over at the laptop screen. Kaoru might have been right, he doesn't speak geeky and he actually doesn't know how to feel about this. But he'd surely notice his favorite people in the world's absence…

"Hey, where's th' Three Stooges? I know they suuuuck suck suck suck at their job, but flakin's a whole new level, specially fer Mr. Perfect Ei-ttendance."

Where's his touy….? his funny guy to harass into yelling….?

Andrew Edgeworth

"Here, let me…" Andrew sighs, gently waving Tatsuko to the side to give her brain some time to reboot.

He looks over at the map to make some connections to the security questions. "These are awfully specific questions. I doubt we have the information we need to answer any yet. Maybe we have to find the wardens somewhere…?"

Tatsuko Onizuka

Tatsuko also looks around, very happy to stop looking at the computer for a little bit. He's right! The wardens are gone! She is free (from their presence. Unfortunately she is still in prison.)!!!!!!

"Who cares where they are! We don't need them! Let's just stay here and do whatever the fuck we want! What're they gonna do, stop us?" She's already eyeing one of the guns on the wall. Are those real or are they just drawings?

Ellie Carter

Tatsuko Onizuka

Are those real or are they just drawings?

Everything* looks like a drawing right now, including Kaoru and Andrew. Of course, Tatsuko also looks like nothing but a sketch on the page to Andrew or Kaoru.

*minus the laptop, which looks as if it is a photo torn out from an old magazine ad.

Kaoru Naito

Kaoru stops and thinks about the puzzle while picking at some of the paper edges of the furniture in the room idly. Something to do. He'd love to put his hand through a wall, it seems like it would feel good as fuck.

"Nah, me mateys, looksee," he says in a weird combination of his regular way of talking and a piratey twang while reaching out to touch the computer with his finger, tapping. "That's some shit I said to Ellie 'fore, 'bout my own crew." He touches the words Couch Pirate. "I think it's just askin' 'bout us, yeah? She's a nosy motherfucker ain't she? Geheheh."

Andrew Edgeworth

Kaoru Naito “I think it’s just askin’ ’bout us, yeah? She’s a nosy motherfucker ain’t she? Geheheh.”

Andrew raises an eyebrow. "That does make sense, especially for why it only requires three answers. Neither of the questions under my…'username' ring any kind of bell for me. Any of these remind you two of conversation topics you've with her?"

Tatsuko Onizuka

Tatsuko looks back at the computer, scrutinizing it. Or at least trying her best to. "I mean… a little? First one for me feels a little vague, but we could give it a try."

Kaoru Naito

Kaoru teases, "Aw, c'mon Taxy Tommy, nothin'? Y'ain't got like, the guys y' compete with makin' business cards n' shit to punch in? Maybe yer tie t' the victim's just that yer their killer, geheh."

He starts flicking the top of the laptop, because if he stops interacting with objects his heart will stop beating.

"Give it a whirl, I can shoot next."

Tatsuko Onizuka

Tatsuko is racking her brain to remember the last conversation she had with Ellie. This is a very difficult and strenuous process on the minimal amount of brain cells that she has that makes her forget mostly everything but the general vibe of conversations after she has them. Eventually, she seems to come to a conclusion and types a few words into the computer.

Q2 the hotel maybe exploded and i didn't even get to see it!!!!!!

Ellie Carter

Tatsuko Onizuka

capnk4li@kali:~$ Q2 the hotel exploded and i didn't even get to see it!!!!!!

[SYSTEM] received answer for Q2

[SYSTEM] hashing answer -> sha256(salt + "the hotel exploded and i didn't even get to see it!!!!!!")

Andrew Edgeworth

capnk4li@kali:~$ Q1 Killer

[SYSTEM] received answer for Q1

[SYSTEM] hashing answer -> sha256(salt + "Killer")

There's a pause in the comparison of this one that did not occur when Tatsuko submitted hers, as if the computer is weighing the answer.

[SYSTEM] compare -> MATCH

[SYSTEM] correct_answers = 1 / 3

And another,

capnk4li@kali:~$ Q4 Disney

[SYSTEM] received answer for Q4

[SYSTEM] hashing answer -> sha256(salt + "Disney")

[SYSTEM] compare -> NO MATCH

[SYSTEM] log: authentication failure recorded

ALERT: ACCESS DENIED — incorrect answer.

Andrew Edgeworth

"Surprisingly, actually nothing. I never told Ellie that I have multiple victims, and the company I work for is practically a monopoly - if she even knows it. Though…Disney did use to be a competitor."

"Might as well try." Andrew lightly picks Kaoru's hand up to put it down on the map so he can type Q1 Killer and Q4 Disney.

Andrew Edgeworth

"Fair enough."

Tatsuko Onizuka

"Why are they putting salt on our answers?"

Kaoru Naito

Kaoru's snickering at Andrew's answers. "Yer a funny motherfucker. 'nd see, I'm good at hackin' after all!" Killer literally worked.

"Ehh, y'know, Tit-Tat, y' really can't think a' nothin'? Want me t' answer both 'a mine? I don't mind none, not much y'all're gonna do with a name 'nd some numbers."

Andrew Edgeworth

"Thanks, I guess; it's not on purpose." He shrugs. "Go ahead, whatever you put in can't be any less logical than 'killer.'"

Tatsuko Onizuka

"Sure, go ahead! Hack in, hackerman."

Kaoru Naito

He steps around to the computer and leans down to type: Q6 IWAO. Does it want a full name? He'll just type this for now. Then, after doing a little motion with his finger like he's adding something up, he types Q3 $6.70.

Ellie Carter

Kaoru Naito

He steps around to the computer and leans down to type: Q6 IWAO.

The computer prints out a response quickly. It doesn't pause to consider whether or not to give it to him like it did with Andrew's smartass answer.

capnk4li@kali:~$ Q6 IWAO

[SYSTEM] received answer for Q6

[SYSTEM] hashing answer -> sha256(salt + "IWAO")

[SYSTEM] compare -> MATCH

[SYSTEM] correct_answers = 2 / 3

Then, after doing a little motion with his finger like he’s adding something up, he types Q3 $6.70.

capnk4li@kali:~$ Q3 $6.70

[SYSTEM] received answer for Q3

[SYSTEM] hashing answer -> sha256(salt + "$6.70")

[SYSTEM] compare -> NO MATCH

[SYSTEM] log: authentication failure recorded
