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!

[ just to be clear..... ]

So there was only a minute of any movement whatsoever? Or is your power limited to a minute?

[refate]

There was only a minute whatsoever from the midnight to morning timeframe I pulled from. I've pulled weeks of memories in one reel before.

[repress]

So it was practically impossible for him to chase Mollymauk, kill him in the way that he was found, and walk back to hide his wounds in the freezer.

[ neat. ]

[katzepaw]

Ah. So in that case, someone must have physically moved him to some degree.

[repress]

Unless he could accomplish all that in a minute, or there is something we're missing... I would presume so.

[ there's a mem loss discussion going on, but. ]

We can purchase a clue still, and I do not mind using what I bought from Viola this week when we feel that we have a lead.

[katzepaw]

What did you purchase from her, exactly?

[repress]

...I can use it once to narrow the suspect pool. It will eliminate particular groups of people from suspicion—it may remove all members of a particular dorm, or all the women in a group.

I have no control over how it behaves, though.

[katzepaw]

Ah. That does sound useful. I would be grateful if you would use that later on.

[repress]

[ he just nods. whenever is fine. ]

[refate]

We're not exactly getting anywhere with either victims right now, so how it behaves... well, we'll at least have something to reference for the remaining powers and items we have.

[repress]

Yes. Since I have no control over what information it may give us, we can use it with some hours left.

[ aka after break sometime ]

[disreguarded]

[she's close to caleb so she's nodding along with him. she'd also be grateful.]

[repress]

[ he's not good at actually comforting anyone so he will leave beau to the beau crew, but he does nod. ]

[steelo]

[ oh neat ]

That's cool, Dimitri. Did she say if it was once per case or for both of them...?

[repress]

Hm. No... [ fingers crossed, but they may have to prioritize. ] I will ask.

[steelo]

[ nods ]

Mine's only good for one. So, if yours ends up that way too, we can decide if we wanna divide and conquer or both focus in on one case.
