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!

[ don't look at her dimitri ]

Every week, two people are controlled to be outside against their will. Last week.... we thought someone brought them back, right? So maybe the killer took the opportunity to plant some evidence. Molly's.... coat... was on top of Malik, when we were at at spring.

COUPONS/VOUCHERS?

[disreguarded]

[beau's got some notes that belong to caleb, and some that probably belong to her too, but.]

I wanna double check people's coupons. If you didn't claim one last week, tell me now. If you used it this week, tell me now. If you're vague and unhelpful, I'm not in the fucking mood today, I will punch you.

Probably a good idea to figure out how many vouchers all of us have got, also, considering we caught Rupert with that last time.

[refate]

Definitely. [ tiredly, as he pulls his own phone out to take a picture of the ropes up above. ]

I think it's safe to say that they were fighting up there. This is a pretty long weapon, so it'd have the reach to cut up the ropes, as well as anything on the railing.

[ if he compares the weapon to the barrier damage is there a match to any of it? ]

[lifeless]

[mabel...]

Did you at least win?

[selfestheim]

Uh, an excuse for what?

[disreguarded]

No. It wasn't.

He also knocked me out. I just left after I woke up.

[foreversweaterweather]

[ okay she can't help but smile at that ]

Heck yeah! I turned my falling into an opportunity.

[overshaded]

[ she's so tired and sad. she's down to her usual lingerie and will take off all her bandages whenever someone comes over to her, which is more than usual, but once they're all off:

-burns all over her front, like something exploded in front of her
-frostbite everywhere
-bruises all over but mostly on her back
-cuts here and there on her front
-all of the above do not look raw or recent and look healed and faded to a point that's at least moderately or halfway healed because SOMEBODY made her TAKE SOMETHING before HE WENT AND DIED :/ ]

[duranduel]

[Wow, thanks Caleb.]

[katzepaw]

I used mine this week on you.

[And vouchers - he holds up seven]

Didn't spend any this week except on the posters. Mollymauk gave me three of his on Thursday, and that paid to heal your ears.

[branches]

[Love you being thorough for everyone with your image link given you know I know exactly how it was done.]

Well that's different from how Molly's was removed... So maybe it's a coincidence after all? Cutting the top of the skull off would be easier, anyway.

[silentscout]

Okay. But I'll need help putting them back on.

[He'll pull off the bandages though!

His shoulder is hecked up. It looks like he got hit by something large, heavy, and sharp. Also someone went through and put some stitches on it too. The injury on his right thigh is a bullet wound.]

A building collapsed on me, that's what happened to my shoulder. Then I got shot, and stabbed with a pen.

[headsplitter]

[ Hi Beau... he just looks depressed about it. ]

I had a teleport voucher last week... didn't use it as far as I know but fuck if I know anything anymore. Can't check if it got used, anyway, since it got replaced.

After the investigation shit and after I got patched up, I got a new one -- it's for a healing item.

[ The irony is SO brutal here. Thanks mods! ]

...And I have eleven vouchers, Mandricardo checked 'em over with me but I can still list how I used them over the weeks if you want...

[divineimpulse]

I didn't use my coupon.

[she can't show it because it's gone!!

also, after a moment in the pockets, she pulls out:]

I have two vouchers.

[tada]

[commandertoolbelt]

I had a teleportation coupon and haven't used it.

Four vouchers, same as last week.

[lifeless]

[byleth... cute...]

I'll change them after the trial then.

[because at the rate this is going she's gonna need something to do to focus!!]

[dormheads]

[after mod discussion, you are allowed to dig through the debris and find one piece of the barrier with scratches on it to take back to the trial! but keep taking photos for the murdergram.

as for kon, he'll notice that while the scratches look similar at first glance, when he tries to fit the blade against them, it matches only some of them. it's not a perfect fit for others.]

[branches]

That was an accident and I said I was sorry!!

[supercatty]

[shows her the picture. it is Emil!!]

Who?

[silentscout]

Elemental powers.

I never used mine.

[He also holds up his nine vouchers.]

[headsplitter]

I wouldn't know... I don't know why I'd want to even do that, okay. Even the decision to dissect my own head took a while for me to get there and it's 'cause I wanted to find out more about who I am... not for any gross reasons.

[supercatty]

[a nod. she will place the phone down so other people can look at it if they so wish]

[goalsides]

[just. this face. why.]

[duranduel]

Didn't get one last week. I had a mind altering spell coupon two weeks ago, which I ever used.

And I have just one voucher left. I spent most of mine on my armor.

[amain]

My last coupon was already used. Received an "Affection Altering Spell" coupon recently.

[ He shows the new one! Unused. Then also, takes out his vouchers. ]

7 vouchers.
