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!

[ are we handwaving that we have gloves. can we do that. i will go to the locations tl and steal a pair of gloves from the costume dept right now. (scapegoat me)

anyway

if not i guess he will pull his sleeves over his hands and check out the garden shears. about how big are they? are they currently closed? ]

[dormheads]

[They're average/smaller-sized? Half-opened.]

[steelo]

[ so i just learned there are seventeen different types of gardening shears and ostensibly ichiro would know at least a couple of them because of odd jobs i hate it??? but anyway just to be clear its like hedge shears vs "basic gardening shears right.

no damage or anything on them itself? no blood? and are they like, locked in place half open like a pair of tongs might be/is something keeping them from moving? or are they just hanging out partially open.

he's not moving them yet, but just checking the mechanism. ]

[dormheads]

[Closer to the second picture!

They are very bloody and gory, actually. But there's nothing in particular locking them in place, they're just hanging open.]

[steelo]

Yo, Rita, can I borrow your measuring tape?

[ gory, huh? how so? what's on them besides blood. is it........... brain matter

he'll also measure the distance between the two blades / how big the opening is between them with the measuring tape. ]

[dormheads]

[sisi why are you doing this to us. the distance is 45 feet now because you asked this.

It's blood and like. gore bits. Sure, there can a bit of brain matter on it, as a treat. Maybe some hair.]

[steelo]

[ BECAUSE I WANTED TO DO MATH FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE!! COVERING MY BASES!!!

i guess the real question im asking is at the size they are open are they big enough to have made the head hole? he'll go compare them. or

alternatively is the hair purple blue molly colored, mods. i won't ask you any more math questions. ]

[dormheads]

[The hair is Molly-coloured.

The shears are big enough to have made the head hole.]
