WEEK 3: TRIAL

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!

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

[ 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. ]

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?

[he shrugs] Dunno how dumb you think he is, to stomp around and not cover his stupid giant tracks, but whatever.

Long as we don't just go with that because it's all we got [eyes all the people interrogating Caiman suddenly]

The entire reason people are asking questions now is to make sure that's not what we do.

Arguably, it wouldn't be the worst idea in the world to look so obvious that everyone reflexively wants to dismiss you, which is another reason to make sure.

Now that seems like givin' him too much smarts credit.
