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!

Uhh... I dunno, I woke up seriously out of my head 'cause it was so cold... and they got me healed as soon as I got back. Wasn't the worst though and it wasn't like I was all torn up to shit, so if I had to take a guess, maybe just a knife.

[ So very generic. ]

Least it's not a hammer again...

[steelo]

[ so i just learned there are seventeen different types of gardening shears and ostensibly ichiro would know at least a couple of them because of odd jobs i hate it??? but anyway just to be clear its like hedge shears vs "basic gardening shears right.

no damage or anything on them itself? no blood? and are they like, locked in place half open like a pair of tongs might be/is something keeping them from moving? or are they just hanging out partially open.

he's not moving them yet, but just checking the mechanism. ]

[disreguarded]

[NEATO

anything weird about the coat straight off? just as a look over.]

[overlimit]

Yeah, I was thinking I might just keep a record. I wasn't able to take the measurements myself before, so I didn't have all the data handy, but now... [shrug! yeah, this'll probably work going forward!]

[arcsplainist]

We shall see in time. Nevertheless, 'tis my pleasure.

[katzepaw]

[Okay. He's just going to carefully take off his shirt. Checking it for any bloodstains or tears besides the obvious one - assuming the sword wound wasn't in his titty window and missed the shirt? Then after checking it for anything, folding it next to the body and checking his torso front and back as well as his arms and hands for any injuries other than the sword wound and the neck cut.]

[foreversweaterweather]

They could, if they have a magic shrinking and growing crystal!

[lifeless]

How's your eye, Yamato?

[YAMATO, YOUR DEPTH PERCEPTION]

[sawboned]

[after a moment of being kind of stiff, he relaxes and squeezes her back]

Got your dog with me, if ya need somethin' to hold.

[alitaba]

[ teensy feets ]

[goalsides]

That's good. It'll heal on its own, but at least we still have something to look. We can try to compare weapons and see if we can find out what might've happened.

[repress]

Isn't that drastic, compared to everything we've experienced prior?

[ a stab...... ]

[modissty]

[arcsplainist]

[ shortie in da club... ]

Aye, there is indeed much for us to still see and discover. But it is here, when the time comes.

[supercatty]

[is there a pattern to the below-the-knee bruising? like a braided pattern similar to the ones around his neck and torso?]

[dormheads]

[Closer to the second picture!

They are very bloody and gory, actually. But there's nothing in particular locking them in place, they're just hanging open.]

[goalsides]

Nothing. We didn't really get to look under him or around the freezer that well, but nothing stood out immediately. We could go back and look.

[dormheads]

[It's pretty bloody.]

[ghoststrums]

[ IMMEDIATELY DEFENSIVE: ]

I can still see fine with one.

[ his depth perception.... ]

[lifeless]

This will be useful. [alphinaud... smart] Do you have anything like this in your world?

[branches]

[Well he brightens up a little bit. He likes to help.]

Ok. I'll see if I can mix it up tomorrow.

[overshaded]

[ She frowns. ]

Any knife in the kitchen could have been used, if you were dragged there.

[ Solidarity in being stabbed by worse things than a knife, though. ]

[selfestheim]

[ yay :( he raises his head to look at her now, the expression on his face resolute. ]

We'll figure this out and put an end to all of this.

[arcsplainist]

Precisely. I thought it best we were aware of the option as early as possible, at the very least.

[headsplitter]

Alright!
