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!

[ muttering ] Why is it always like this.

Does that mean someone took his memories, then? Or that there's some kind mind control out there that makes the target go totally blank?

[ creepy and alarming! yay! ]

... What about possession? The engine was running, but Caiman-san wasn't at the wheel.

[headsplitter]

[ GHOSTS?! ]

[txt]

[ghosts!!!]

[commandertoolbelt]

Could be, but I mean... I remembered what happened when I was possessed, so...

[ is that not normal ]

[alitaba]

[ hello?? ]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ hi ]

[branches]

[SIR?]

What do you mean "when you were possessed"?

[commandertoolbelt]

[ waves hand vaguely ]

It happened before Wiwaldi. I can tell you later, if you want to know.

[txt]

Here, or in your world?

[commandertoolbelt]

Back home. Really should have said that the first time.

[txt]

It would have been helpful, yes.

The laws of each world are different, and the knowledge we bring from our worlds could be totally useless. Still... How was it? Do you want to share the story?

[commandertoolbelt]

It - um. [ he shifts uncomfortably. ] It was kind of sounded similar to watch happened to one of the first groups that disappeared on Thursday, a few weeks ago.

[steelo]

...I know he can't use it again, but I wonder maybe for next week - what would happen if that was used on Vi-chan or one of the others. If the result would be similar at all or not.

[commandertoolbelt]

I was wondering about that, too. If it's the same result, then it's probably just him being overwritten, right?

But that doesn't really align with what's happened with the others. Rupert was aware.

[steelo]

Yeah.

We asked him at the very, very end of the trial, though, right? [ hE JUST WANTS TO FIND... THESE MEMORIES SO BAD ] Maybe that's why...? Stuff only becomes available to us at the end - like, our receipts and things like that.

[commandertoolbelt]

If that's the case, then we messed up trying it this early, huh? We'll just have to work with what we've got.
