Chapter 1: School Trial

[iruy]

[You all descend down a large elevator - at least, those who are alive. It's a huge, non-descript elevator with no music to make it any less creepy. At the bottom floor, which it automatically descends to once everyone is inside, there's a large circle of podiums with placards of photos - photos of them: Jonah, Pidge, Missy, Lev, Janssen, Maria, Nemo, Jakub, Saira, Alex, Aurelia, Bri, Prudence, and Geoffrey. Tony and Jack's portraits, while there, are scratched out with red ink. Sitting atop a small platform is Yuri, lounged out casually in a large chair. ]

Come in, come in! Find your spots and we'll begin the trial!

[Eventually it seems everyone is settled in their spots, and Yuri sits back in his chair, steeping his fingers.]

So, the gist that you have to accuse someone of being the culprit in this case! You do this by voting. Democracy is the wave of the future, after all! The time limit is until I'm bored! And if the gathered votes are wrong, you all die, alright?

...Oh, and by the way, you dumbasses, there is a murderer amongst you. I'll show you the video once you've voted.

[He motions at them, smiling.]

So, let's begin! Who's got a theory?

[To play: Post a top-level comment with your character's theory. Responders will dispute the claims or ask for clarification. This may get messy in terms of format, but hopefully it will make future trials easier! Also, if there are any major development things (such as, for this case, Jack being dead), they can be addressed in a thread, as well. If you have any concerns or questions, please send me a message.]

Talk about an easy trial. We all know who did it.

[stoled]

Gosh, it's that smiley guy, wasn't it?

[jonahh]

No, it was you.

[stoled]

What?! Gosh, it wasn't me!

[jonahh]

Sure it wasn't. But you're the only one crazy enough to do it. Heard shit like you thought Tony was evil, so you even had a motive!

[kalaaveisto]

Hold on. We don't know for sure. She may be odd, yes, but that's no motive.

[jonahh]

The motive is right there! She hated Tony so she got rid of her!

[kalaaveisto]

[crosses his arms] But she's the only one who makes it obvious, so that's painting a huge target on her.

[jonahh]

She's an idiot.

[stoled]

You're a bigger idiot! It's not me!

Gosh!!

[kalaaveisto]

BOTH OF YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LISTEN FOR A FUCKING SECOND

[stoled]

[jonahh]

[kalaaveisto]

[siiighs]

It doesn't fucking matter if she's the only one who says she hates the dead girl. The murderer wouldn't be obvious about it, right? Especially if they're the only fucking one.

[jonahh]

Then I'm out of fucking ideas.

[stoled]

[Wow you're not that bad]

[kalaaveisto]

[coughs at Jonah] Then let's hear what everyone else has to say. Someone must have come up with something.
