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!

If 'eat a brain' is an extra credit assignment, they could have gotten one from a farm animal instead.

[ DON'T IMPLY I ATE HIS BRAIN THAT'S GROSS ]

[branches]

Sure, but if it was like "perform an autopsy" that's specifically for a human, right?

[silentscout]

But you could also just wait until a trial and do it then. Who's going to risk a murder when all you have to do is wait a few days?

[branches]

I mean. I don't know if people would agree to let someone cut someone's skull open for no reason, but I guess you have a point.

[headsplitter]

Molly wanted to live. He wouldn't have agreed to that shit...

[branches]

I- I mean no one would have let someone cut open the head of whoever had died, at the trial.

[BUT ACTUALLY. WHILE YOU'RE HERE.]

Can I ask you something about the autopsy the doctors did on the head you lost?

[headsplitter]

Uh, yeah? What is it?

[branches]

Was the brain removed?

[headsplitter]

Uhh... yeah, it was. So Vaux could weigh it...

[branches]

Do you know where the hole was made so the brain could be removed?

[headsplitter]

Yeah, over the top of the head. [ He circles the rough approximate area. Gore warning don't click if you're squeamish for official manga reference as to where. ]

[branches]

[Love you being thorough for everyone with your image link given you know I know exactly how it was done.]

Well that's different from how Molly's was removed... So maybe it's a coincidence after all? Cutting the top of the skull off would be easier, anyway.

[headsplitter]

I wouldn't know... I don't know why I'd want to even do that, okay. Even the decision to dissect my own head took a while for me to get there and it's 'cause I wanted to find out more about who I am... not for any gross reasons.

[branches]

I just had a theory as to why anyone would do that, related to extra credit. Mine have been relevant to me in particular so.

[headsplitter]

...Nah, I've got an extra credit right now and it's not that. Would be real fucked up if that's what it is, though...

[branches]

[Nods.]

I'm just stuck on that. It's such a weird thing for a murderer to do. The decapitation was bad enough.

[headsplitter]

[ He's just quiet. ]

I really don't have anything to tell you... I don't...

[branches]

Honestly, I'm pissed off. I don't think you're smart enough to lie, so if it WAS you, they totally controlled you against your will. Which sucks for you but then also whose ass am I supposed to kick?

[HE WANTS TO BE MAD.]

[headsplitter]

[ HEY..... DON'T BE DUNKIN' ON MY SMOOTH LIZARD BRAIN RIGHT NOW....... ]

Fuck off... [ But where's the fire behind his words? ] If I knew, I'd kick their ass, too.
