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!

Not if you stayed away from the table with the body? And at least you could have had like, some forewarning.

[selfestheim]

We're going to be talking about how he's been decapitated all day. And if we want to figure out what happened, we need to know the details.

[branches]

I know that? What're you getting on my case about, I can still feel bad that it was you guys that had to find it??

[selfestheim]

I'm just– I'm sick of being treated like a baby who shouldn't have to see this kind of stuff just because of how old I am. None of us should be in this situation, but we're here and it's our job to figure things out so we can stop this. So instead of feeling sorry for us, just...we need to focus on what we need to do, all right?

[ it's nothing personal against tsuyukusa; he just has a lot of pent-up frustration, and this is the closest he's gotten to being aggro'd... unfortunate u_u ]

[foreversweaterweather]

Hope... [ gently reaches to touch him on the shoulder ]

[selfestheim]

[ im so sorry he's going to shrug it off because the aggro is escalating ]

[branches]

[It's fine, Tsuyukusa getting worked up in response is also nothing personal.]

Who says I was even worried about you, idiot!? Maybe I was only worried about Mabel and Maya! Molly was in our dorm, so why don't you shut up and think about how Maya felt, huh??

[amain]

[ why are the smalls fighting ]

[branches]

[Hormones?]

[selfestheim]

I don't care what you think about me– you weren't there with them! You think I wanted her to carry it when it was obvious she was horrified by it?

[branches]

[UM?]

You let HER carry it??

[selfestheim]

I was going to do it, but she didn't let me.

[ he was powerless against big sis energy ]

[branches]

[He clearly wants to argue more but Ichiro is stepping in so he just TCHes and looks away.]

[feytality]

It was my choice. Get mad at me if you're going to get mad.

[branches]

I'll get mad at you later.

[Lest Ichiro yell at him again.]

[steelo]

[ well hope said he was right next to ichiro, so. ]

Hey. [ loud and sharply, putting himself between them so they can't see each other. someone is used to this... in the tone of "i didn't start this fight but i'm ending it": ] Knock it off. If you want to help anyone, stop arguing and focus on the trial.

[selfestheim]

. . .

[ he grits his teeth and turns away. ]

[branches]

... Fine.

[STILL ANGRY BUT HE KNOWS ICHIRO IS PUTTING HIS FOOT DOWN FOR GOOD REASON.]

[feytality]

Sorry, Hope. You're right.

[ that's all she says ]
