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!

[ maya is debating saying something..... but doesn't want to get yelled at.... ]

[ghoststrums]

[ to be honest, he looks. pissed. shoulders raised, but: ]

... Yeah.

[txt]

[She gives her a curious look?

Girl, your kitty body language.]

[ambiography]

It's up to you. But if he truly doesn't remember and can't tell you the truth, I think we might have a few things to contend with at that point.

[i.e. the lack of solid answer, the fact there is another case, the fact the hint already went to this one too and the memory ability was tried on him for it.]

...it's your call, Beauregard.

[sawboned]

Yeah, but he's real specific on what those are—same way I am about Devils.

Just because you kill things doesn't mean you're a murderer.

[lifeless]

[i still haven't decided what outfit manwol is wearing but it's not her school uniform and it's fancy, she will submit all of her clothes for perusal. they're all in pristine condition since it's a costume she stole recently from the emporium.

no tears, stains, or rips of any kind!!!!!! her shoes are fairly clean too]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ no one has answered this and it makes me feel bad so here is leo, ready to be checked after returning from invest

it's past 8pm so for the sake of time: there's nothing weird except maybe a little grease from tools and robotic parts! ]

Maybe leave the literal murder evidence alone for now?

[katzepaw]

He was, and. . . he claimed he did not remember what happened to his vouchers. But this feels different, still. Every step of the way, he was checking the evidence related to himself.

[duranduel]

[He seems surprised.]

I haven't been using my sword that often because its breakable...if I fought against Crow, it would be broken in an instant.

[He offers it up.]

You can even examine it, if you want.

[disreguarded]

[she looks kind of ill, but.]

... Yeah. I have mine too, I guess. [he's not a very touchy person, and she knows, but. she holds onto his coat very tightly.] We did as much as we could to figure it out.

[ambiography]

[she doesn't have anything to add to that, quiet as well.

fuck.]

[branches]

Denji, that's evidence?

[Anyway there's nothing weird or out of place about Tsuyukusa's clothes, other than there's a strip torn off of one sleeve, but that was just from when he bandaged Alphinaud's foot earlier.]

[steelo]

[ ohhhh caleb god.

his voice sounds a little rough, too, brows knit, sympathetic. he doesn't reach out to touch or anything because he's not beau, but the emotion's all genuine. ] ...I know, man.

... We still got time. Let's try and see what we can figure out about Crow, too.

[overshaded]

[ She's here but doesn't say anything. Doesn't look upset or hostile or anything.

Ask her whatever. ]

[selfestheim]

...It would fit with Ichiro's theory about one of the killers being from Fall. And Viola did mention that both the person being controlled and the controller would count as guilty if voted for.

[ . . . ]

We use the rest of the time to try and figure out what happened to Crow, then...if we have nothing else...

[headsplitter]

[ Caiman's just here. He has nowhere else to be! Nowhere else to go. Just got no choice but to sit here and listen to all the evidence point against him. He has never been in this kind of situation before in his life. What he would pay to disappear and not have to think about this. ]

...So, I... nothing? There's nothing else? It's... me?

[repress]

...I doubt a guilty person would submit the weapon they used to kill someone.

But that likely means it was a somewhat heavy sword, yes?

[disreguarded]

I don't... I don't want to waste it, but - if we can't find anything for Crow, I'm doing it.

[divineimpulse]

[byleth holds out her sword.]

Mandricardo just checked it, but anyone else can, as well.

[steelo]

It's not that, though, dude... it's the hint.

[ gesturing to it again - the stick man killing a guy in a wizard hat. ]

[silentscout]

Viola said that if something happened to force someone to murder, both the person who killed and the person who forced them to kill would show up as guilty. Your item might be picking up on that too.

[feytality]

[ .... ]

We all have to do what we think is right, in the end.

[refate]

[ kon is just. closing his eyes and sitting down, scrubbing his face and then leaving his hand there.

and caleb really drives it home. kill a man who was used and manipulated as a puppet and cannot remember what he has done. ]

[selfestheim]

...So they're not just because you think they're cool.

[ambiography]

...I do, too.

[fuck!]
