CHAPTER ONE
[victim]
Drummer awoke to the distant sound of shattering glass. She tensed up in her bunk, her body paralyzed in fear.
Quietly poking her head out from her bunk, Drummer scanned to see if any of her cabin mates had awoken to the same noise.
As she leaned forward from her bunk, a mighty roar from outside sent her tumbling onto the cabin floor. The three other girls shot up from their bunks, quickly discovering Drummer on the ground.
Before they could question her, a monitor in the corner of the room lit up with a chime. Monomaton appeared on the screen, cheerfully announcing that there was some big news for the camp:
A body has been discovered!
The screen quickly shut back off, leaving the girls in a disturbed shock. Could this really be true?
Their cabin's door swung open, Sailor's giant silhouette blocking the sunlight behind him. He roared for the girls to join the cast in the craft hall immediately.
The girls quickly gathered themselves and headed out hall, where a grizzly scene awaited them.
VICTIM ONE
ULTIMATE SALESMAN
Salesman lied limp, slumped over in his chair and face down on the table. His blonde lochs spilling over a growing pool of blood that spilled onto the floor below. The window behind him blown out, glass shards scattered throughout the room.
A single arrow stood upward, emerging from the hair cascading around Salesman's neck.
The campers trickled into the scene, all pausing upon entering with wildly different reactions to the corpse. Finally, once they all had been gathered, Ice Skater once again took charge.
She immediately began delegating work amongst the group, promising that they'd have their murderer before trial if they all pitched in.
While campers like Trucker and Rebel loathed receiving orders, the gravity of the situation took precedent.
Agreeing to reunite in the craft hall in a few hours, the group split. Small groups dissolved into the camp to investigate every nook and cranny.
...
The group reunited an hour before their prospected trial to present any evidence they'd found.
By then Ice Skater and Marine Biologist had assessed that he had died from a single arrow through the throat, to the surprise of few. This was also determined to be the cause of the shattered window in the craft hall.
Bartender and Streamer had found a bow accompanied by some loose arrows abandoned on the far side of the camp, Drummer and Marine Biologist sharing tentative eye contact upon this announcement.
All other evidence presented in this pre-trial seemed entirely inconsequential, much to the chagrin of Ice Skater. She ranted about the lack of initiative amongst the group given the stakes, Marine Biologist silently consoling her.
Rebel contested that maybe her weak leadership was to blame, which really set Ice Skater off.
Before she could truly blow up, MonoMaton appeared back on the Craft Hall's monitors in a flash.
The cartoonishly cute stuffed sheep cheerily announced that the class trial would be beginning early! Stating that this sort of class discussion should be saved for the courtroom.
The cast quickly broke into a panic, Ice Skater failing to quell the sudden chaos.
MonoMaton entered to escort the campers to the trial room, the cast falling into a somber silence realizing what was upon them.
Wearing their despair in their faces, the campers set off, following MonoMaton to trial.
To Be Continued...
