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!

This is a good idea, ja. We can try this, see if he really made those prints.

[ambiography]

Let's see if he minds a field trip, then.

[after break, but i'm holding this thought.]

[refate]

The barriers up there were pretty decimated by the fight, and the damages were spread between the two weapons, so it feels pretty intentional for something that has a lot of reach. And Alph had barely stepped on it when the thing went under from his weight.

[ and alphinaud is small! so! ]

Shorter weapon would make sense, though. Enough reach to bang up the surroundings, but not enough to be totally restricted... [ the question, tho ] We need to look at our other locations to see if there's something else. There's never been just one location in any of these.

Is it Eisner-san's turn?

[is she messing around or is she serious... a mystery.]

[repress]

...I can use it once to narrow the suspect pool. It will eliminate particular groups of people from suspicion—it may remove all members of a particular dorm, or all the women in a group.

I have no control over how it behaves, though.

[ambiography]

You might be able to ask what can't be purchased, by anyone. One of those things could be ruled out to narrow it down.

[steelo]

[ he looks thoughtful for a second... ]

...that's something we should try and talk about later, when we're done today. [ trying to find confirmation, anyway.

but nodding. ] Yeah. ... Though, I guess, I don't really know what we'd fingerprint, for Molly's case. If Caiman was being controlled by someone... wouldn't we only find his prints?

[divineimpulse]

[she? blushes?]

You can go ahead...

[katzepaw]

Ah. That does sound useful. I would be grateful if you would use that later on.

[supercatty]

[. . . Catra makes an unhappy noise, her gaze flickering away]

[duranduel]

[His blush deepens?]

Eh? Y-You really want to?

[commandertoolbelt]

[ nodding... ]

What about the SUB? They said the door was broken off, right? Maybe it's worth taking a closer look at that. It's not tied to either murder yet.

[supercatty]

We checked the auditorium, right? What other places are linked to his death?

[refate]

We're not exactly getting anywhere with either victims right now, so how it behaves... well, we'll at least have something to reference for the remaining powers and items we have.

[repress]

Could you ask how much it would cost for you to purchase the power? They have answered me in the past during trial before.

[disreguarded]

[she's close to caleb so she's nodding along with him. she'd also be grateful.]

[txt]

Oh, no, no. It was your suggestion first. You should go!

[why does mandricardo have no say in this]

[steelo]

[ oh neat ]

That's cool, Dimitri. Did she say if it was once per case or for both of them...?

[overlimit]

How much extra credit have you been doing?

[supercatty]

[she overhears this, and--]

For the record, after I did my thing on-- Monday, I went to talk to Sally about buying another similar coupon.

[tail flick]

Twelve vouchers. That's the price Sally quoted me.

[steelo]

What about the Student Union? We haven't gone back to that yet, have we?

[divineimpulse]

[um]

...Okay.

[repress]

[ he just nods. whenever is fine. ]

[ambiography]

[actually followup question:]

The injuries you said you got while separated-- is there anyone who saw them before Thursday night, even if no one saw you receive them?

[supercatty]

Not that I've heard. . .

[is anyone oocly talking about investigating the SUB. . .]
