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!

[refate]

Depends on his start point. But Rupert remembered where he started out. So it could be that we did this too early, someone erased it, or that's... really all there is.

[arcsplainist]

[ this is me, winking @ you ]

[alitaba]

[ SHE WANTS A TURN? ]

[commandertoolbelt]

It - um. [ he shifts uncomfortably. ] It was kind of sounded similar to watch happened to one of the first groups that disappeared on Thursday, a few weeks ago.

[headsplitter]

I... all I remember is going to sleep in Fall Dorm with everyone else...

[ Their common room sleepover... ]

[duranduel]

T-Thanks...

[He is NOT used to all this attention, thank you. Or at least, he was in the past, but definitely not now!!]

[katzepaw]

Of course. I will be very careful.

[He'll very carefully look over the armor trying to see if there are any marks on it, stains on it, anywhere that could have gotten scuffed or dirty.]

[duranduel]

[She'll have to ask he's not giving it out freely!]

[ambiography]

She implied as much before we had ever gone over the options in trial, for the record.

[just putting that out there in case.]

But if you have eight again, then either you received none or you've used some of them, if you'd account for that.

[commandertoolbelt]

[ wolf whistles ]

[headsplitter]

Please don't!

[ Not that he'd be falling a lot of feet anyway, but still. ]

Damn, and you still think you're weak?

[refate]

[ this is his least favorite option of them all ]

... be a real waste if that were the case. Wiwaldi, though. [ stares into void, it's fine ]

[duranduel]

[There's nothing on it! Mandricardo loves his Hector armor merch a lot and has kept it clean. No stains, scuffs, or marks anywhere, even in places that aren't easily visible.]

[ambiography]

[rita bullying alphi into this i'm crying.]

If you had any marks from it, then I'd like to take a look, if you don't mind.

[refate]

Puppet stuff is very much definitely in play here, in general. [ he's so tired of this tho ]

[katzepaw]

[Hmm.]

Do you mean a question I could ask you that you would be able to answer? Or a question I'd have to put to the group?

[repress]

[ just to be clear..... ]

So there was only a minute of any movement whatsoever? Or is your power limited to a minute?

[duranduel]

[>/////////////////>]

[refate]

Vague movement - I couldn't tell that much.

... a minute's enough for him to be magically transported from the Fall dorm to the cafeteria kitchen, though.

[divineimpulse]

[...]

You can't recover what never existed.

[katzepaw]

[Cool. Giving him a small smile.]

Sorry to give you such a thorough check, friend. You know, you are the only mind altering coupon unaccounted for, so I felt I needed to be sure.

[duranduel]

W-Well, its not for real long...

[Basically he can't princess-carry lizards 24/7]

[headsplitter]

[ You really had to say it like that, huh Byleth?
Caiman flinches and winces over here, a hand over on his head. Ow. ]

[duranduel]

No, I get it.

[He's not offended whatsoever.]

You're doin' a good job and bein' thorough. So I appreciate it.

[goalsides]

Man. [how annoying...] Thanks for checking, it at least confirms he wasn't conscious for all of it. So now it's just about if one of us controlled him or if it was something else...right? Like maybe something erased his memories because they thought he wouldn't be able to keep quiet like Rupert or Hanayagi.

I don't know. [hrgh...it's a thought.]
