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!

[foreversweaterweather]

But how'd it happen?!

[duranduel]

H...himself?

[disreguarded]

... Thanks. [she takes it, gingerly.]

[headsplitter]

No! You think I walked into the damn freezer by myself?! I woke up almost dead!

[illuminance]

It's alright. It's just best to clarify.

I wouldn't remember it so clearly were it not... Reminiscent.

[katzepaw]

[Okay. He will set the head down gently on the table and turn to the body. What clothes is he wearing?]

[overlimit]

[rita's eyes widen.]

... Yeah, that sounds like it could be it. Thanks.

[disreguarded]

Yeah. Hope's got it. Thanks.

[amain]

... Mabel.

[ WHY DID THE KIDS GET SENT TO THE HEAD ]

[branches]

[Please only stab murderers.]

Figures. But then, what does that mean? That you were stabbed while you were asleep?

[headsplitter]

Yeah! Not totally though, still got the mark here. [ Pointing at a spot near his front, slightly to the side. ]

[modissty]

Another potential pattern of escalation...

[Yeah that checks.]

[branches]

What?

[disreguarded]

That's how he fights, yeah. His blood is magic, so he - cuts at parts of himself with a sword and uses the blood to make stuff happen.

[long pause, and then:] One time he used it to make me less drunk. Not here. But.

[headsplitter]

I dunno, Mabel. Don't remember anything between going to sleep and waking up.

[overshaded]

[ a foot ]

[overlimit]

[good for you, very happy for your shoes]

[headsplitter]

I like my sleep but I think even a stab would wake me up... plus, how'd I end up in the freezer?

[foreversweaterweather]

[ nods with...not quite satisfaction, but stubborn resolution. and then she goes to the cart and gets a cup of hot chocolate, which she shoves at Viola. ]

[overlimit]

[closes eyes...]

[headsplitter]

Nah, nothing.

[foreversweaterweather]

Oh, that's okay! I already know how to do that.

[amain]

You woke up in the freezer?

[ YOUR LUCK ]

[supercatty]

[SORRY YOU ARE NOT BEING STRIPPED BY SOMEONE WHO CAN APPRECIATE THOSE ABS CROW!!]

[her gaze narrows at those braided bruises, but she hones in on the nicks and cuts. how recent are they? and how do his arms and legs and hands and feet look?]
