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!

I don't suppose you remember who it was?

[headsplitter]

Nah, not a single thing. I'll punch the bastard as soon as I find out, though. [ Or more accurately maybe stab them but also maybe stop him. ]

[branches]

[Please only stab murderers.]

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

[headsplitter]

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

[branches]

I mean there was a blood trail there, maybe someone dragged you? No idea how you didn't wake up, though...

[Wait.]
You didn't wake up with a headache or anything? Crouch down for a second and let me look at your head.

[headsplitter]

Uhh, just with the usual kind? [ Whatever could be expected from fucking waking up in a freezer. But sure, he does bend over so Tsuyukusa can get a looksies.

Nothing unusual here. Even his head spikes are all intact! ]

[branches]

[I'm happy for him and his intact spikes.]

What do you mean the usual kind? Do you wake up with headaches a lot?
[Still he finishes his inspection and pats Caiman to give him permission to stand back up.]

[headsplitter]

Yeah. I get nightmares almost every night when I sleep and I get headaches every now and then. Probably 'cause of my amnesia, I bet.

[ He scowls. ] Been worse this week 'cause of the memory bullshit.

[ Wow, he doesn't complain about the headpat. Too many people have done it to him so he's used to it by now. ]

[branches]

[I can't remember if he mentioned the amnesia before but honestly Tsuyukusa is too tired to even be surprised by this anymore if it's news to him.]

You know, If you want, I can make you some tea that's good for headaches? I guess modern times people just use those pain reliever pills, but.

[headsplitter]

Seriously?! Lalli was talking about stuff that helps too but I'll take anything you got!

[branches]

[Well he brightens up a little bit. He likes to help.]

Ok. I'll see if I can mix it up tomorrow.

[headsplitter]

Alright!
