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!

It would also explain why Tsuyukusa and Mabel found mush and not a whole brain.

what's this....?

[foreversweaterweather]

[ heads over to the front of the gym looking absolutely distraught, then taking a deep breath and yelling: ]

I know who killed Molly! And I mean really killed Molly, not whatever happened with Caiman!

[ she looks over everyone in the room for a moment, eyes searching, and then points a finger: ]

It was C-Claude!

[ghoststrums]

... If these hints are decided before trial, then probably it was meant to hint this was relevant to Molly's murder. Since we didn't know before Caleb asked that we could specify which murder we want a hint for?

[repress]

It could be that the... gruesomeness is to hide the real injuries.

[commandertoolbelt]

[ oh. hm. ]

That's... a good point. There are some calibers that are designed in a way that they wouldn't... make it all way through.

That would mean they'd have shot him from the back, though...

[amain]

[ Nier has his phone, id, 7 vouchers, and his sword. ]

[illuminance]

Right... I don't know what else to take away from this beyond the weapon.

[modissty]

[He has his phone, his ID, his katana and 7 vouchies!]

[overlimit]

Somebody used a teleportation coupon after all...?

[duranduel]

Yeah, I think so. I mean, we were thinking decapitation was too much...but maybe there was a point to it.

[modissty]

Why would someone want to hide that, though? Especially if they were setting Caiman-san up to take the fall... Does he not know how to use firearms?

[illuminance]

... You aren't usually very happy about finger pointing. Can you explain why you think this?

[ ... was this just a mind control someone did on her... ]

[duranduel]

Mush?

[MAKING A FACE??]

[branches]

[He's a little smug.]

I can only do it once a day but... this way I can grow a few more plants to make my medicines out of.

[katzepaw]

That seems like a pretty big assumption, especially when Viola just told you to double check.

[duranduel]

Hmm. I mean, it looks like he was fighting back, though, so if anything, it would have been from the front...

[disreguarded]

[.........]

What.

[lifeless]

[well everyone seems to have the hint?? covered?? so]

Should we check for weapons that could have made those marks on the barrier?

[steelo]

[ tiredly looks into the void... just to be sure... ]


I know you guys said a mind control voucher purchase would be pretty high, right? What about some of the other ones, like the communications - or, the weapon? How much would a weapon coupon or something like it cost me.

[feytality]

What are you talking about?!

[ambiography]

[she's got her staff, her 6 vouchers, her notebook, a couple of pens, her id and her phone! that's it.]

[godcards]

[ Phone, ID, 3 vouchers. ]

[branches]

[HM???]

Based on what?

[lifeless]

[manwol has her phone/id, and six vouchers]

[headsplitter]

[ Uhh... he just turns out his pockets and shows her:

- Student ID
- Student Smartphone
- Vouchers
- His two masks
- The clothes on his body

And he points at the Evidence Table. ]

...And my knife's over there.

[ I THINK that's it... ]
