WEEK 3: TRIAL

[dormheads]

week three: trial

victims:

Good thing yesterday was just a dream, huh?

Just kidding. Everyone will wake up to a text on their phone that has only a simple message:

Go to the gymnasium at 12 PM. Attendance is mandatory.

Everyone is free to go to the designated spot on their own, but once it hits 11:55, any stragglers will feel compelled to go and will join the others at the gym. As soon as every student is inside, the doors will lock behind them.

All of the bleachers are out, so students are free to sit wherever they like. At the very front of the gym is a gathering of a few items, one being a large desk where two of the Dorm Heads are present. When the clock hits noon, the scoreboard turns on, starting a countdown of nine hours.

From where she's seated, Sally speaks.

"You have nine hours again. It's... you'll be able to do it. Work hard."

Better get to it. That scoreboard is ticking.

---

Hello everyone and welcome to our fourth trial! the next nine hours, the characters are expected to discuss among themselves, ask questions, examine the bodies of the victims, look over the evidence found yesterday, and revisit locations as needed in order to find the culprit(s). There'll be a one hour break from 5-6 PM EST, where no mod tags will occur.

Before the trial is over, please remember to place your character's vote over on the voting page. Voting will close at 9 PM EST, and will serve as our activity check for the week, so please be sure you get your vote in before it ends unless you have contacted us previously.

If you have any questions at any time, please let us know by pinging us on Discord!

I mean there was a blood trail there, maybe someone dragged you? No idea how you didn't wake up, though...

[Wait.]
You didn't wake up with a headache or anything? Crouch down for a second and let me look at your head.

[selfestheim]

...[ he tries to reach out and touch her forearm consolingly, but he'll back off if she doesn't seem receptive to it. ]

[goalsides]

We'll go back if we have to, yeah. We should probably check the locations the bodies were found first.

[but it's fine. it's also worth noting he's finally changed clothes and so he's in baggy jeans and an even baggier hoodie. i wish i could play someone fashionable.]

[azuta]

[she'll take it and give mabel a headpat]

I'm so spoiled...

Thank you - this should be good for now. Please take care today, don't push yourself. You can sit with me if you ever need a break.

[it's so weird that they're just letting this 12 year old exist in the same room as a decapitated body and head she found]

[foreversweaterweather]

O-okay. Good.

[ ...and then, after a few moments of awkward hesitation, she rushes forward to envelop Beau in a crushing hug ]

[disreguarded]

[i wanna check two things but i'm gonna start with the gold sword -

she's seen it before, right? is there anything weird about it, is it bloody or anything obviously weird about it?]

[selfestheim]

...We would have seen it today, anyway.

[sawboned]

[Denji wanders by the table, extra bundled up and extra tired looking—he nods at the two of them]

Wish us luck, hey?

[katzepaw]

[Nods, giving her a small soft smile.]

. . . I know he had it, because he used it against me to win a snowball fight.

[headsplitter]

[ It's fine, it's deserved. He doesn't pick nice words. ]

Won't stop me! See you Viola! [ Though, uhhh. Scrunching his nose at the state of her and Sally. ]

I'm sure we've got it, found someone last week and we'll find someone this week.

[steelo]

Nice. Resourceful.

[ pat pat. thumbs up. ]

[shaft]

Did he buy that magic back though?

[ why does everything he learn about molly make him more alarmed ]

[disreguarded]

[well she is still - burned and frostbitten and her ribs are cracked, so she just lets out a muffled grunt, but.

a beat, and then she rests a hand on top of mabel's head.]

... Thanks.

[branches]

Not if you stayed away from the table with the body? And at least you could have had like, some forewarning.

[goalsides]

Makes you wonder what's next, right?

[haha, yikes.]

[dormheads]

[She has definitely seen it before.

It's bloody on the pointy end, and it's very clearly bent.]

[dormheads]

[Molly is in his usual clown get-up from the circus, minus the coat. You'll get cold sweetie. There are lines and lines of old scarring starting from his neck and dipping down into the V of his shirt. On the right is the start of a tattoo peaking out.

There's no head, of course.

On his front, on the left side of his chest, is a bloody wound.]

[azuta]

[she nods]

Of course. May good luck and satisfactory results find you, Denji.

[repress]

[ feet.... ]

[sawboned]

Don't sleep in freezers! They're full of food but also full of cold!

[goalsides]

Thought so...[he shakes his head.]

Lux said she healed you. Is the scar still there?

[headsplitter]

Uhh, just with the usual kind? [ Whatever could be expected from fucking waking up in a freezer. But sure, he does bend over so Tsuyukusa can get a looksies.

Nothing unusual here. Even his head spikes are all intact! ]

[duranduel]

...I guess we need to see if his body has cuts, anywhere.

[foreversweaterweather]

But it's totally healed now, right? And you're okay?

[steelo]

[ are we handwaving that we have gloves. can we do that. i will go to the locations tl and steal a pair of gloves from the costume dept right now. (scapegoat me)

anyway

if not i guess he will pull his sleeves over his hands and check out the garden shears. about how big are they? are they currently closed? ]
