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'm just– I'm sick of being treated like a baby who shouldn't have to see this kind of stuff just because of how old I am. None of us should be in this situation, but we're here and it's our job to figure things out so we can stop this. So instead of feeling sorry for us, just...we need to focus on what we need to do, all right?

[ it's nothing personal against tsuyukusa; he just has a lot of pent-up frustration, and this is the closest he's gotten to being aggro'd... unfortunate u_u ]

[goalsides]

So here's the next question. Why move Malik inside and actually cover him with a coat to keep him warm versus putting Caiman in a freezer and stabbing him? Malik was covered in dirt, too, so...what? Did they carry him from the orchard back to the dorm?

[ghoststrums]

[ no. not even a little. ]

And they can go if they want to, too, but I'm fine.

[overshaded]

[ sometimes, it's just part of the plot. it's fine.

She makes a face. ]

If they didn't clean them.

[lifeless]

I'm just glad we won't have to rely on animals again.

[headsplitter]

Don't say that like I have head holes...! [ He does not push him back. For now. ]

Stab feels fine. Still sore but what do you expect from getting stabbed. Guess I should be glad it's not frozen and rotting or something. Whatever that shit's called.

[dormheads]

[sisi why are you doing this to us. the distance is 45 feet now because you asked this.

It's blood and like. gore bits. Sure, there can a bit of brain matter on it, as a treat. Maybe some hair.]

[dormheads]

[Looking closely, the braided pattern doesn't seem to reach down quite that far, no.]

[sawboned]

Meat shield? He's pretty damn big.

[refate]

[ the shortest and one of the tallest. amazing. ]

Once Catra's done... we'll have a better idea of how we should investigate the auditorium better. [ and crow won't be dangling there for them to worry about......... ]

[dormheads]

[It's locked by facial recognition, but the background is a picture of Mollymauk standing on the roof of Spring Dorm, Claude’s underoos flapping in the breeze behind him. A giant, orange eagle is also in the photo tilting its head at the camera.]

[katzepaw]

[He runs a finger over the gnarled scar for a moment. And then he will look closer at the chest wound. Does it look like it was made with something sharp? He is very familiar with the golden sword - does it looks like it could have realistically been made by that sword, given its curve and blade? Is there any frost or ice or watery wetness to the wound?

After checking that he'll check the hands.]

[goalsides]

I had that thought, too. But he was found in a corner so if he was a shield wouldn't that mean somebody had to be able to get behind him? And if it wasn't in the freezer then they had to move him somehow.

[foreversweaterweather]

Okay, good!

[ that means she can GIVE HIM THE BIGGEST SQUEEZE HUG SHE CAN MANAGE ]

[headsplitter]

[ I'm offended ]

[supercatty]

[actually IS the below-the-knee blue-purple discoloring bruising?? I realize I assumed it was but it was worded funnily, so let us cover our bases!!]

[lifeless]

[THIS IS LIKE DEJA VU, WOW!!! anyway manwol will add to that deja vu right now]

Fine. Then I'm going with you.

[arcsplainist]

[ uhhh ]

I... have yet to hear of them ere now.

[ he's a ye olde, denji ]

[lifeless]

[it's cool it's cool]

[repress]

It'd be difficult to imagine very many people could move him after stabbing him, though.

[ the blood going to the freezer, he means. ]

I was told when I was outside, I was already unconscious by the time Kaoruko found me.

[selfestheim]

...Did they think Caiman would die if he was stuck somewhere cold overnight? I mean, not just because that would eventually kill anybody, but because of his...... head. They might have thought he was cold-blooded...?

[disreguarded]

[... well, i GUESS SHE'S GONNA WANDER OVER TO HIS HEAD. AND UNLOCK THE PHONE.

she does not seem surprised to see this picture haha]

[dormheads]

[The feet size matches are:

Set A: Caiman

Set B: Claude, Sakyou, Molly, Kaine, Denji, Taichi, Mandricardo]

[steelo]

[ BECAUSE I WANTED TO DO MATH FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE!! COVERING MY BASES!!!

i guess the real question im asking is at the size they are open are they big enough to have made the head hole? he'll go compare them. or

alternatively is the hair purple blue molly colored, mods. i won't ask you any more math questions. ]

[headsplitter]

Hey! That's the worst joke I've ever heard in my life!
