Hostile Action Trial

[mockmods]

[As you all finish investigating, an electric chime rings out across the PA system.]

I believe that should be sufficient time for you all to prepare. Assistant, please escort everyone to the trial room.

[Penny emerges from the Security office again, head down, and slowly collects everyone; she leads you all to the east side of the common room, to the short hallway between dorms B1 and A2, that’s dead ended through your entire time here. As your group approaches, the wall seamlessly slides up to reveal a hidden doorway. Passing through leads to another short hallway and a small, round room, just big enough to hold all of you. Penny passes her ID over a small pad near the doorway, and it blinks green before the room lurches slightly beneath you; an elevator going down.]

[A short trip down leads you to a larger chamber, with a series of twenty-two podiums set up in a ring; in the center is a column of computer stations with large monitors, behind a set of thick metal beams with occasional faint flashes of energy arcing between them and a constant, low hum.]

Welcome to your first trial, Participants. You will use this time to determine which among your number killed the Legendary Bassist, and send them to justice. Failure to choose the correct culprit will have dire consequences for you all.

[Trial: commence.]

cw self-harm, scarification

[ Helena puts down her complete sandwich and takes off the leather jacket she's spent most of the week in. She's wearing a dirty white tank top underneath it, so her arms are easy enough to check -- there might be a small amount of blood high on her forearms, but she was telling the truth when she said she washed up! There are old scars on her back, though only the ones on her shoulders are visible, but nothing significant on her arms. If one of the women asks, she'll let them check her stomach, where there's a pretty gnarly and recent wound on the right side of her abdomen -- but not this morning recent, more like a week ago recent. So, concerning, but clean! ]

[Gazing at the scars, Kara's expression softens.]

You must have been through a lot.

[ She looks at Kara's face as if she doesn't know what to do with it. ]

I was tested.
