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!

[ someone is going to beat him the fuck up for this, but he's been looking at profiles since the hint, so: ]

Hey, Mabel? What does sharpshooting stand for on your profile? For the record.

[foreversweaterweather]

[ YOU HAVE SUCH GOOD TIMING

Mabel sniffles ]

I-it's 'cause I used a grappling hook a lot back home...I was pretty good with it...

[ghoststrums]

[ again, i absolutely can't wait until someone breaks his arm because of this? but sometimes you gotta cover all bases ]

Alright. You don't have it here, right? And you said you had thirteen vouchers? Can you break down the math on them for me?

[foreversweaterweather]

[ it's fine, he's valid, you're valid ]

I don't have it...and, um, I used one voucher to get some yarn and paint when we just got here, and another one to help buy a hint last week...I was gonna spend these this week but I still haven't decided what to spend them on...

[ghoststrums]

[ he nods, hands in his pockets. ]

You had six last week when we checked. Was that before or after the hint? [ i am truly bullying you trying to remember exact count last week sorry his paranoia ] And you've got all of them with you right now, right?

[foreversweaterweather]

Um, I had six after the hint, I think...and then I got another 7 on Sunday...

[ghoststrums]

Thanks. I know it's annoying to keep track of. [ math sucks! and then, reiterating: ] You've got all of them with you right now, right? Show me?

[foreversweaterweather]

[ nods and shyly pulls out a stack of vouchers. Sure enough, there's 13 of them there! ]

[ghoststrums]

Thanks. [ once he's counted them. again! he is just being a bully!!!! ] ... If you've ever got trouble with extra credit, ask. I'm pretty good at making the bad ones less terrible.

[foreversweaterweather]

...okay.
