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!

D-does that mean someone else was driving?

[refate]

It could. "Unconscious" doesn't have to just mean "asleep."

[alitaba]

[ she's just grossly pale at the idea. this is sooooooo out of her league of fucked up things ]

So would the person who did it have the memory of... of controlling him?

[refate]

[ he holds his hand out to her pretty readily when she goes pale like that. ]

They could, if that's what happened. He obviously wasn't dragged - the blood was a trail, not a smear, and his footprints showed up elsewhere.

[headsplitter]

Ugh, so, s'that mean... wait, what about my own stab? With my own knife...?

[duranduel]

Yeah, that is pretty bizarre. Like...did someone think to make you stab yourself to make yourself look like a victim, or...?

[illuminance]

Or in genuine attempt to kill him, only done by his own hands instead of theirs.

[headsplitter]

Would be a pretty stupid way of trying it, why not stab myself in the neck? Hell, I survived a hammer to the neck, actually. Or, almost did, if my head didn't get taken off.

[illuminance]

Maybe a vague enough order to live through?

Only a guess.

[refate]

It'd be hard to tell how the knife was held, too, probably.

Even if we could check the angle of it before it was healed, I don't think it would've been conclusive towards who did it when all of us are so much shorter than him or whether it was self-inflicted.
