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.]

Ah. I thought I should tell you, I found who the shirt belonged to. It was Jonah's.

Re: 6

[pigeony]

... Oh, you mean the shirt I found on the floor?

Re: 6

[kalaaveisto]

Er, yes... which is odd, because apparently Jonah washed it.

Re: 6

[pigeony]

Oh!

But I found it on the floor!

Re: 6

[jonahh]

[smelling his shirt]

[it doesn't look like it was on the floor at all]

Re: 6

[kalaaveisto]

Are you still fucking smelling it?!

[JONAH YOU'RE SO WEIRD HOW ARE YOU HERE]

[are you sure you're not the Super High School Level Shirt-smeller???]

Re: 6

[jonahh]

It smells fresh!

Re: 6

[kalaaveisto]

That's still fucking weird.

Re: 6

[pigeony]

Yeah, 'cause that shirt was on the dirty floor.

Re: 6

[jonahh]

Hey, it doesn't smell dirty, alright?

Re: 6

[kalaaveisto]

Who else is here besides us? The floors seem clean enough.

Re: 6

[jonahh]

It doesn't smell like the dust or anything...

... [smells his shirt]

Re: 6

[kalaaveisto]

[shifts uncomfortably WHY DO YOU KEEP DOING THAT IT'S WEIRD]

Re: 6

[jonahh]

.....

[Takes off his shirt and inspects it]

Re: 6

[kalaaveisto]

[wa........tches...........]


What're you...?

Re: 6

[jonahh]

Look, just smell it. [Throws the shirt at you]

Re: 6

[kalaaveisto]

[fsadjflkajsdf CATCHES IT but]

I.... I'm not going to fucking s-smell it!

Re: 6

[jonahh]

Fine, don't. But look at it, not a single mark of dirt. The floor can't be that spotless.

Re: 6

[kalaaveisto]

... So....?!

Re: 6

[jonahh]

Re: 6

[kalaaveisto]

If the murderer washed their clothes...

And you're the only one who washed their clothes...



[JONAH WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY HERE???]

Re: 6

[jonahh]

I'm not the only one who washed their clothes!

Re: 6

[kalaaveisto]

Ah...

I think you should point this out.

Re: 6

[jonahh]

The murderer must've found my clothes and held onto them, which was why I couldn't find my shirt in the dryer.

Re: 6

[kalaaveisto]

I mean fucking point it out to everyone, not just me.
