shslanon | Chapter 1: School Trial

[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.]

Yes it did, you didn't try getting out another way!

I tried the only way that would work!

No, that's stupid, you didn't try. You're stupid!

[leans on the podium, angrily tearing up]

...

I guess you're right. I should've tried harder to hide it from you guys. I was too sloppy...

You should've tried getting out with us all but you're too stupid and it's stupider if you think it makes sense to kill all of us for some stupid kids who're probably okay and not trapped in some stupid fake school!

[...takes a deep breath]

[that didn't work, uncontrollably shaking now anyway]

They're not stupid, they're just social and emotionally developing. They can't do that with my guidance, and their parents depend on me.

I was gonna try to take you with me, so I can take care of you, too.

Someone else'll take care of them... A-and you couldn't take care of me anyway because I'd be dead, don't you remember?!

But I'll figure out a way to keep you alive somehow.

So you thought Yuri was telling the truth that you'd have to kill someone but lying about killing everyone else...

[hides face, slumping over]

Stupid.

... I was gonna try.
