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!

[lifeless]

No. It's just in my closet right now. I wanted to get a sewing machine, but I didn't want to waste my vouchers on one.

[because why get a machine when people are getting FCKED UP ON CYOAS]

[headsplitter]

I -- yeah. Even before I came here, things changed. I got a new boss and a coworker who're Sorcerers, and...

[ He glances down, and away. ]

My best friend herself is a Sorcerer, too.

I don't wanna just kill them anymore.

[sawboned]

I dunno, dude! What the hell were you sleepin' in a freezer for??

Whatever, just...get over there and match your wound to the knife before people wrap this all up early.

[dormheads]

[Nope. It is simply a nice silver wolf ring.]

[disreguarded]

[oh hey hope is her favorite now thanks]

I want to make sure he wasn't controlled by an accomplice, first. [she says, quietly.] Because I would like to hurt whoever did that, if that's the case.

[overlimit]

If anyone goes to check the orchard, I'll lend 'em my measuring tape so we can confirm.

[ghoststrums]

I've thought about that, too. But right now, I want to make sure someone didn't use powers or a voucher to do this. Any bigger theory-- any bigger theory can and should wait until later, if there's nothing we can do with it right now.

[ even though he really does think this is relevant to their overall problems ]

[lifeless]

[manwol hates it here too!! she probably looks buttmad furious right now]

[alitaba]

[ time to wordlessly clutch onto his sleeve because (tiktok.mp3) Oh No ]

[steelo]

[ ichiro's brows pinch together, and the way he says this is really, really genuine. ]

... I really hope not, man. I really do.

[silentscout]

Mhmm. So "being controlled and not remembering" and "actually doing it" would look the same until something like that happens. We need that before we can vote.

[headsplitter]

I -- uh, yeah.

Okay...

[ Caiman will almost mechanically wander over to evidence... ]

[modissty]

[Wow what a mood! They can quietly seethe together. He will just step a little closer and vibe.]

[katzepaw]

[Okay. Well, with that done, all that is left to do here is hurt Alli. He is just going to take the head and put it so it is lined up with the body, and then drape his scarf over the neck to cover that his head was removed. He will close his eyes for him, brush a little of the hair out of his face, and press a kiss to his forehead.]

Good to see you again, circus man.

[And he will cover the body with a sheet.]

[ghoststrums]

[ denji's being a stubborn asshole when he says it but it gives yamato an idea; ]

Check the knife against his scar, too, on top of anything on Molly.

[duranduel]

[Also coming back sometime to grab the masks.]

[And just...gives him an awkward look. This is...bad.]

...

[He doesn't know what to say.]

[supercatty]

[okay, back into her pocket it goes. also I said the pendant was last but ACTUALLY she's going to examine the cashmere scarf too. what's it looking like? bloodied, torn, etc etc?]

[dormheads]

[No particular scuff marks. The blood is just kind of in random spots, rather than being condensed in any one place.]

[steelo]

Agreed.

[ all i have are Theories TM ]

I did confirm with Vi-chan earlier this week that you can't trade your coupons, too. I wanted to try and get a communication one because I wanted to test something out instead of what I had, and that wasn't possible.

[sawboned]

[somehow, the effects of Nice Week cut through, and Denji's posture loosens a little before he walks away]

He was a nice guy. Sorry for your loss.

caiman's two masks

[duranduel]

[Also checking the two masks! Anything outwardly off with them?]

[headsplitter]

[ He scrunches his face... he wants to protest more but between his knife discovery and Ichiro's attitude, and also his own, he quiets down. ]

Fuck this...

[ghoststrums]

Yeah. You can't give them away, either, or I'd have given my healing one to Yanagiya-san.

[ but it's fine he used it on an arm instead ]

[lifeless]

[VIBING!]

-- They shouldn't have made him forget.

[of all people. if caiman was compelled, if caiman was the killer -- if someone used Caiman... maybe it's none of the above and an entirely different story, but

messing with his memories again?]
