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!

Weapons like that are made for long range, too. Forcing him onto the catwalk, in a tighter space could have put him at a disadvantage for someone using a shorter ranged weapon. He could still fight, sure, but he'd have been more restricted.

[ he... thinks? he doesn't know much about stage catwalks, actually. ]

So maybe we're looking at a shorter weapon, and someone who's familiar enough and strong enough to hold up against Crow.

But - my question is why he'd go up there in the first place. Or is that just where he appeared when he got moved?

The barriers up there were pretty decimated by the fight, and the damages were spread between the two weapons, so it feels pretty intentional for something that has a lot of reach. And Alph had barely stepped on it when the thing went under from his weight.

[ and alphinaud is small! so! ]

Shorter weapon would make sense, though. Enough reach to bang up the surroundings, but not enough to be totally restricted... [ the question, tho ] We need to look at our other locations to see if there's something else. There's never been just one location in any of these.

[ nodding... ]

What about the SUB? They said the door was broken off, right? Maybe it's worth taking a closer look at that. It's not tied to either murder yet.

I think it'd be worth looking into it. Regardless of whose death it was connected to, we'd still be finding... you know, something.
