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!

[she tilts her head at that, considering]

... yes. I believe so. Both the person who was controlled, and the person who was doing the controlling would appear as guilty.

[repress]

I agree. There is likely some kind of pattern, but I do not think we can confirm it with what we know.

[ also bc i need to put this somewhere ] For what it's worth, I bought an item that will allow us to narrow the suspect pool, if only somewhat.

[steelo]

[ pops up to this an hour later but also: ]

The shears had brain matter and some of Molly's hair on them. That's what made the hole in the back of his head.

[duranduel]

No items or anythin'? Like, from home, or...?

[ghoststrums]

The entire reason people are asking questions now is to make sure that's not what we do.

[duranduel]

...? Why is that?

[katzepaw]

[His expression is thin.]

And your barging in and trying to prevent people from asking questions will not save your friend from the noose. If he is innocent, the best thing for him is to find out everything we can.

So if you would like to sign his death warrant, by all means, continue acting as you are.

[headsplitter]

[ ! ]

Right! Yeah, let me -- [ And he's digging out his phone from his pocket, and showing Caleb.

His extra credit is not marked as completed. ]

[refate]

[ :))) it's Fine, probably.

but while kon nods, he... makes a small grabby hand at her before she goes. hand pls. ]

Keep your eyes sharp, boss.

[foreversweaterweather]

Fine, then, we will! And when he's innocent you'll feel bad about blaming him!

[ghoststrums]

[ ... he hates that actually ]

Good to know. Thanks, Viola.

[godcards]

Whoever is doing this might think it's amusing.

[ MALIK PEOPLE ARE DEAD????? ]

[sawboned]

[he does make a sorry face at Beau, but isn't budging from where he is until Mabel can be shuffled away]

[headsplitter]

My item from home's my knife and it's on me always! I got my gas mask, and I got a second mask through vouchers, but I keep those on me too. [ He turns his butt. It's hanging from his waist, both of them. (two of them) ]

[supercatty]

[okay! then she will do a quick check of his hair, his fingers and fingernails, and the bottoms of his feet just to see if there is anything she missed]

[if there isn't, then it is time to rummage through the pockets of his clothing]

[refate]

[ coming up with him after making sure things are Stable for now ]

I'm coming with.

[selfestheim]

[ he doesn't look up, but he does bump his shoulder back.

]

[dormheads]

[The blood on his hands is over the eye tattoo on the back. There's no wound.

There isn't anything different or damaged about the boots. Nothing is inside them. The clown pants are undamaged clown pants. There aren't any pockets. Molly, why? Your no pocket clown pants.

I'm obligated to say that Molly canonly has a very nice dick. I'm sorry, Caleb.

There aren't any other injuries on his legs, or his feet.]

[duranduel]

[He nods at that.]

Believe me, I'm not gonna be nice about it. I just want to make sure that people aren't using what we do against us.

...Especially with what they pulled with Molly, I'm not going to assume they wouldn't be so cruel as to manipulate things to throw another under the bus. I'm keepin' my options open.

[lifeless]

I wanted more clothes to wear.

[so maybe she's 5'2 and caimans' like 8 feet tall, it's fine]

[feytality]

I have pictures of... the head, as it was found, too.

[ giving mabel's shoulder a little squeeze ]

[headsplitter]

I dunno! I have to assume it's some stupid magic effect from what happened to me to begin with, I can't tell you why the hell that happened 'cause I don't know either. Don't wanna test it though, next time I just might die for real.

[duranduel]

Can I see them?

[The knife and masks, he means.]

[goalsides]

[...just....nodding and accepting this as a normal thing.]

[refate]

... you gotta know I hate that, right Taichi? [ in a tired kind of way. ] I mean, we can try getting in contact with him and asking, I guess.
