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!

[steelo]

...yeah, but the hint.

[ he gestures to it?? wherever it is? ] Was of someone specifically killing someone in a wizard hat. I'm pretty sure Molly wasn't a wizard, even if he did magic. And... Vi-chan said to pay attention to the traits.

[ghoststrums]

Rupert was sincere, too.

[ blunt. ]

[katzepaw]

Ja, there you go. He kills Sorcerers like a stick figure man with a gun.

[Despite his flippant tone, he's massaging his forehead, frustrated and sweating a little.]

The last thing I want. The very last thing. Is to kill a man who was used and manipulated as a puppet and cannot remember what he has done.

[feytality]

I think we just need to... look harder... just because it seems airtight doesn't mean that it is....

[ambiography]

...I think that fact may have been just-- what the hint meant. That it just pointed to him, to identify him.

[sawboned]

Huh, I wasn't outside...I don't think? Did someone see me? Gross, did I get all puppet-controlled too?

[katzepaw]

[Nodding, quiet.]

[branches]

Wasn't it the gardening shears?

[repress]

[ ... ]

Is it worth sending someone to check that area?

[duranduel]

[A shake of the head.]

Nothing. Weapons get wear and tear if used, and I just want to see if there's anything recent. It doesn't mean anything with you in particular.

...I'm not to jump to conclusions, is what I'm sayin'.

[disreguarded]

[mmmmm...

she... will stand up, and gently place a hand on his back, actually.]

[foreversweaterweather]

But...but why would he just leave so much obvious evidence behind? He can't have done it, he must have been controlled somehow!

[refate]

Do not take the evidence clothes.

[ kon will submit for check the same as he does for strips and isn't bothered who checks him. :\ he'll also offer his kimono-cardigan from wherever crow's saber was since he used that to carry the thing.

i will just confirm outright for the sake of this being the last hour that there's nothing weird on or in them anywhere, no matter how much you shake it around or turn it inside-out, even if i want one of you cowards to kill me. ]

[goalsides]

[...sigh.]

Great. So...what do we do with that now?

[as in. what do people want to do, mostly.]

[txt]

[...

A sigh.]

Alrighty, that's one mystery solved. Now we can focus on what happened to Armbrust-san.

[steelo]

[ he taps his goggles. ]

The point of this item was to pick out what was the most relevant to solving the case. It was a one time use, but... I think we've done everything we can at this point.

[ ... ] I don't like it either. It's really shitty.

RESULTS

[arcsplainist]

My thanks for your time, everyone. After proceeding with our testing, our results are as follows:

Our closest matches belong to the weapons of Kainé, Mandricardo, and Byleth.

[disreguarded]

Okay, sure, but I still feel like knowing how it happened might help.

Do you want me to fucking punch him. We're not getting anywhere else.

[lifeless]

It's better than someone else stabbing themselves.

[WHO WOULD HAVE STABBED THEMSELVES? NO ONE!!!]

[branches]

There's two murders. We still need to find out who killed Crow.

[katzepaw]

[Thanks Beau.]

Well. This is what it is. I . . . I think so. I think we ought to spend an hour trying to find what happened to Crow, not. . . arguing this in circles. I have my vote.

[supercatty]

[. . .]

[. . . . . . . . .]

[SHE]

[LOOKS LIKE SHE WANTS TO SAY SOMETHING, BUT. .. ]

[her eyes grow wide and her ears flatten instead]

[modissty]

[i aki forgot this happened closes my eyes so sweet crystal there would have been similar new damage on his]

We have been, I can confirm.

[illuminance]

Okay. The traits.

The first figure: someone who kills mages.

[katzepaw]

Maya. [He swallows a little.] I defended him last week. I am not. . . I would not say this flippantly.
