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!

Yeah! I'll punch the bastard right in the face when we figure it out.

[goalsides]

[...well. he's not going to say no.]

You sure? It's cold out.

[amain]

[ Nier kind of understands what this is supposed to do! So. ]

Thank you, Alphinaud.

[headsplitter]

[ Kaine don't relate to that. ]

So I guess we're checking all the knives for blood or something later?

[disreguarded]

[wheeze she doesn't look very happy about this.

anyway, can she look through the pockets, the sleeves, give it a thorough shake down... is there anything in it]

[steelo]

Yo, Rita, can I borrow your measuring tape?

[ gory, huh? how so? what's on them besides blood. is it........... brain matter

he'll also measure the distance between the two blades / how big the opening is between them with the measuring tape. ]

footprints

[overlimit]

[checking these feets (currently everyone except Catra, Maya, and OOCly absents) + Mollymauk's and Crow's against these measurements from the gardens!]

[amain]

[ He pats Caiman's shoulder. ]

Not feeling so cold?

[ghoststrums]

What does that matter.

[ don't out him as a baby about the cold wow ]

[headsplitter]

Nah, spent the night warming up! Now I'm ready!

[dormheads]

[In the pockets are:

- Phone, with a cracked screen and currently turned off
- A pair of glasses
- Student ID
- Origami Flowers
- Purikura of Molly & Maya, and Molly & Byleth, and Molly & Caleb
- A crude drawing of Molly in highlighter that say NOT AN EVIL TRIANGLE JERK
- A set of tarot cards
- A dirt-stained letter that reads:

If you are reading this and you do not already know, your name is Mollymauk Tealeaf. You have friends, the Mighty Nein, who want very much to see you again. Please leave a message for us with the Evening Nip Tavern in Zadash, and mention the Mighty Nein. Someone there will know how to contact us, so we can find you.

If someone else has happened to come upon this letter and our tiefling friend in any state where he cannot contact us himself, I kindly ask that you give him safe lodging until you are able to make contact with us. We have the means and will gladly compensate you for your trouble. We would be very grateful if you would ensure his well-being. Sincerely yours, The Mighty Nein]

That's what I thought, too. Before that it's just been scratches and bites from the wildlife, and then the bruises from the tables last week. Why a stab? If Caiman was asleep, did someone decide to stab him just because he was there?

[sawboned]

Tch, well you're lucky it's not someone pokin' your head holes over there. [he motions at ongoing body inves, then pushes Caiman lightly]

How's your stab feel?

[arcsplainist]

Not at all. Never would I have thought of it myself! It had come up in conversation, however, and I thought of how I would have wanted this in our previous trials.

[disreguarded]

[a long pause.

she takes the tarot cards, the glasses, the picture of molly and caleb, and the letter. puts those in her pockets.

she's gonna look at the phone!]

[lifeless]

We have plenty of people who can see fine with two.

[HAS YAMATO EVER RELAXED IN HIS ENTIRE DIGILIFE]

[goalsides]

Let's not jump to anything too drastic yet.

[arcsplainist]

Of course. Ever am I glad to provide.

[refate]

[ piping up like sakyou: ]

I did show Ichiro right after the fire alarms were finally cut, after investigations had finished and he said that no sleepers had been found outside of the dorms. So this is definite escalation.

[lifeless]

[IT'S FINE]

[sawboned]

Oh, damn! Now we're like real cops!

.....hey speakin' of this place really should have actual cops instead of us. Are school police a thing?

[goalsides]

[just a Look.]

[dormheads]

[It's important for me to say there is a single nipple piercing. I'm saying it's spared by being on the side without the stab wound. He also has a large tattoo on his right side, different pieces of it flowing gracefully into each other starting from the neck and ending at his hand. A peacock, flowers, a serpent.

The shirt doesn't have any obvious tears or stains not a part of where the stab over the chest is. No pockets because it is a nice, soft, flowy medieval tunic.

The wound on Molly's chest is directly over the heart. The exit of it is on the back in the same place when Caleb looks there. Near this wound, and partially under it is another old, gnarled scar of similar caliber. Looks like something got impaled there and twisted. The many scarring slices are here, too, all over his chest and arms, all the way down.

His back has more beautiful tattoos when Caleb looks. A pyramid with an eye in the center, and something above it but the head is gone, so who knows. On each side of the shoulder blades is a sun and moon tattoo.

Something is strange about his hands. I'm saying this bc this is already so much for one tag.]

[ MOM? ]

[snowball fight... oh no that's cute]

Figures.
