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!

[disreguarded]

[she's quiet, and then:]

Okay.

[sawboned]

[folds his arms back because he's a dumb teen—it's like looking in a mirror beau]

Seven, and yeah, I was practicin' sword stuff with Nier all week.

[ambiography]

Rita, what happened with these?

[just indicating the little faded bruises there.]

[branches]

[Well now he looks offended!]

Wh-why do you assume she could've beaten me in a fight so easily??

[overshaded]

I didn't use my coupon. It was for communication.

I used three vouchers on Thursday in front of you. I have eleven now.

[katzepaw]

Alright, then.

[Since he seems like he feels bad about it, he just nods and lets him off the hook.]

[headsplitter]

[ HEY..... DON'T BE DUNKIN' ON MY SMOOTH LIZARD BRAIN RIGHT NOW....... ]

Fuck off... [ But where's the fire behind his words? ] If I knew, I'd kick their ass, too.

[arcsplainist]

[ Using healing magic causes a scar after each use, alas. ]

[steelo]

Can I feel? How's it different?

[ he reaches his hands up to gently ruffle through his hair if denji will let him. does he have a lump or a cut or anything? he's very careful. ]

... When'd you jump out the window, again? And, is there anyone who saw you fall ice skating? [ a little laugh. ] I know it's not great for your dignity, but, just gotta be sure.

[ghoststrums]

[ just know. he is thinking it. because he's >:T ]

[katzepaw]

He had the sword last week.

[departea]

Is there anything in particular you're looking for there?

[commandertoolbelt]

[ sure he will show ichiro his vouchers ]

[headsplitter]

Beau...

[ ...If he was going to say anything else, he doesn't. She won't want to hear it, probably. The cards are stacked against him and there's nothing he can do to disprove a mindjack theory. ]

...I'll answer anything else you want. Now or later. I'll try.

[ That's the best he can offer. ]

[selfestheim]

Denji tackled me on Wednesday, during the public speaking activity. He was...compelled to do it.

[alitaba]

[ looks at beau. looks at him. raises her eyebrows. ]

Her Strength and Dex are way higher than yours, sudowoodo.

[illuminance]

I'm sorry, I don't mean to be difficult. I don't want to be seen like this by a man, but I will if it's necessary...

Lalli was with me most of the time, but even he and I separated in the fire.

[katzepaw]

Can you tell us what it was? It may matter.

[ghoststrums]

[ his shoulders kind of draw up because i want to live with my consequences. no, i'm kidding, it's because: ]

I'll handle it. I don't want... someone to use up anything we might need later.

[ the bruises really just look like generic fighting and tumbling bruises. the largest one like he might have taken a more intense hit than the rest? ]

[steelo]

[ thumbs up for cyoa injuries! ichiro can verify them all, frostbite included! tho feel free to double check obvs ]

AUDITORIUM/STAGE

[refate]

[ here's kon with a frankly stupid weapon, the bottom blade wrapped in his warmer top so as not to cut him up on the right side. he'll let viola help alphinaud to sit down as he raises his voice. ]

If someone could check Alph's leg, that'd be great - the catwalk gave up the ghost and hit the stage with him on it. [ that addressed, pretty seriously, moving on. ]

There was a fight on the catwalk. This was up there in the remains of it - we've got pictures as well as a piece of the barrier, but two weapons were used. One matches Crow's double saber here, and another is an unknown weapon at this time. We're going to want to check weapons that we've got against the unknown marks.

The ropes up with the catwalk were cut at some point, though. It could've... it could've been Crow trying to get himself free, or before he was - [ mm, no, not thinking about his dormmate being hanged like that? ] - it could've been during the fight.

That's all, though.

[branches]

[Me who just volunteered blindly: aaaa???]

Well, I think Molly was probably killed there, so it just seems like it could use a second look over. There might've been something buried in the snow that could've gotten missed.

[steelo]

[ just a obligatory can confirm the cyoa injuries to anyone who asks. beau gets a squeeze on the shoulder also before he moves on. ]

[overlimit]

Nothing big. Took a fall or two near the start of the week.

[lifeless]

[adora's no slouch either??]

Impressive. [dang] Make sure not to fall the next time you win.
