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!

So... Either someone faked Caiman's prints, or he was awake.

[lifeless]

Someone could have used a mind-altering spell on him.

[refate]

... we have a few ways of finding out, if we want to go for it.

[ calm, but he's not looking at caiman - he's keeping an eye on beau. ]

[supercatty]

[she is still examining Crow's body but she looks over at him]

[refate]

[ his good hand is at his side, but he does lift his hand a little at his waist for her to see - it's okay, stay with crow. ]

[supercatty]

[a nod; she will let him handle it, then!!]

[steelo]

[ glances at, voice very serious. ]

Think it's time, man.

[refate]

If he has memory issues, I'm not sure how it'll work. Not something I've used on someone with amnesia.

But it's worth trying it.

[steelo]

There's still a couple things we should check. [ nodding at beau. ] His phone, too.

... just get ready. I think it's gonna need to be on him.

[disreguarded]

[she's being held back by yamato, at least. muttered:]

Check his mouth. Look at his wound more closely before you go for it.

[refate]

[ thanks yamato for keeping beau from flying before they confirm it ]

Yeah. I got you.

[lifeless]

[she looks in Beau's direction too, and then back at Kon, sharply]

A few ways?

[refate]

Beau's ki that she used last week should be set to go again.

... and I can extract a memory to view it, once a week.

[lifeless]

[...]

Can you see a memory that someone might have forgotten?

[kon, your brain science]

[commandertoolbelt]

I think we need to take a closer look at that stab wound of his before we jump to something like that, man. No point in wasting resources if he's really not involved, you know?

[refate]

[ a small wave of his hand ]

I'm just saying there are options, not that we jump the gun immediately to it.

[commandertoolbelt]

That's true, too. There were five mentioned, and three of them were used before last Thursday, so that would just leave you and Mandi, assuming there weren't more.

[ghoststrums]

Manwol used hers on Wednesday.

[commandertoolbelt]

...Just Mandi, then.

[ dislike. ]

[ghoststrums]

There's a few people who never said what coupon they had.

[sawboned]

Not too hard to wear bigger shoes.

And if he was sleepin' someone could just take them. We do this footprint thing every week, so gotta figure someone bein' sneaky would change up their feet.

[commandertoolbelt]

Right. It's something to keep in mind, but...

[ glances at caiman. ]

We shouldn't just dismiss any coincidences, either.

[sawboned]

Like chainsaws that just happen to disappear and show up suspicious places?

[commandertoolbelt]

[ he looks over sharply. he knows what denji's getting at, but... ]

Dude, we only caught the first murderer here because a dog barked at her. We didn't catch Rupert at all until he'd killed a second time. It's worth looking into, even if it hurts someone's feelings to be considered. Especially if...

[ ...no, he shakes his head. ]

[ghoststrums]

We cleared you by double checking even evidence that seems "too obvious". We're either going to clear Caiman with this, or find out the truth. Is the better option to let it go until it's thirty minutes to and we're scrambling for a name again?
