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!

[Nothing that looks more recent? Like worn down scuffs vs newly-made scuffs?]

[steelo]

[ mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

just to check, there are no scuff prints or anything on the sub floor around here, are there? in this social area. any signs that the chairs were moved really quickly, in a struggle? also, let's just check crow's mailbox??? ]

Should we open the mailboxes?

[duranduel]

[He points to the curved edge.]

Have you been using your sword recently?

[katzepaw]

Hah. Easier said than done.

[But he will give her a small, slightly more genuine smile.]

[disreguarded]

[long pause.]

Okay, okay okay okay. You're right, the big footprints started abruptly near the orchard, right? So - maybe he did teleport. But what doesn't make sense to me is he was still outside. That hasn't happened before, right?

[feytality]

[ it's over soon enough but feel free to midtrial her and end my suffering ]

[divineimpulse]

[nope!]

[dormheads]

[ They do match for all that, yes! ]

[repress]

[ nope, just looks like ordinary bone! ]

[silentscout]

Denji was outside, and doesn't remember anything. He might be set 1 and involved in this in some weird way without being a killer.

If that's what happened, then set 2 is the killer.

[ambiography]

[well we all know she hit molly in the head with it but that hit alone wasn't even hard enough to knock him out? i don't think it left a mark so the staff does not have damage, staining, or scuffing.]

[lifeless]

[me, sweating

Manwol will look at her -- does she have any cuts on her body?? maybe underneath her clothes unless lucretia already took her clothes off]

re: molly

[steelo]

Hey.

[ im bending time and space again but ichiro clears his throat to get the attention of the room. he pushes the neat goggles up to the top of his head. ]

The most relevant and important piece of evidence to solving Molly's murder is the Set A footprints, in the garden.

[ so do with that what you will ]

[azuta]

[she huffs a bit]

You work hard. I've seen it all day today.

That's why I'm comfortable betting on you.

[overshaded]

[ sure!

(vote for me on my birthday, thank you.) ]

[dormheads]

[Assuming this test is specifically to see what could make the mark(s) in one single gesture, which is also how I'm assuming Crow's weapon was tested previously:

The likely matches from who turned in their weapon would be Mandricardo, Kaine, and Byleth.]

[supercatty]

You could have asked!!

[her personal space???]

[ambiography]

[she takes a picture of them! then briefly sets a hand on caiman's arm.]

Thank you, Caiman. That should do it.

[commandertoolbelt]

Oh, sure, let's commit more federal crimes. There was already a murder. This is a lawless land.

Anyway, I'm good with reporting back when he's done with that, Vi.

[duranduel]

[COOL KNIFE, HOPE]

[But its 100% clean?]

[lifeless]

It does here, but I should be fine.

[katzepaw]

. . . What if Denji is the one who woke up outside? But was moved indoors?

[supercatty]

[her eyes narrow, but she looks torn between giving him her whip and holding it back]

And if you found nebulous damage on it, what would you think?

[disreguarded]

... Was he cold when he woke up?

[amain]

I've been sparring with Sakyou sometimes in the mornings. We've been doing that since we arrived here.
