seasonality | 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!

That's weird, then. Like, he wouldn't have stabbed his own chest, or cut off his own head, to use his power.

So if he used his power...how? Using what? Was it really his blood magic he used? Maybe it was...um. His teleportation?

No. That was different. The teleportation was an enchantment on the sword, he didn't need blood to use it. The blood magic was ice.

He could have used it without cutting himself if he was already bleeding, I believe.

...So we're maybe looking for ice-created wounds, here.

I think we should also go back to the orchard. Maybe there's evidence that we missed. Actually, there were those wet patches...

Look, I said this earlier, but sleeping in a freezer would be a good way to cover the fact that you had ice-related injuries.

...That's true.

But let me ask. Could he summon like...shards of it? Or was it just...freezing things?

I don't know, he fucking died before he could use much of his abilities around me.

I don't think it's shards.

Does Caleb know, maybe?

There were wet patches in the orchard. We may need to check that out again...

We should probably check it again regardless.

...I did see it happen once, here. I think his nose must have bled when he-- hit the coffee table.

[she still sounds kind of apologetic about this, jeez.]

It was like a spray of ice covered it.
