In the newly rebuilt Hope's Peak Academy, a group of prospective students suddenly find themselves called into the Gymnasium for an assembly of some sort. Now normally that would be all fine and dandy, except for the fact that it's Sunday. Try as they might, the students of Class 80th can't find anybody else in the building besides themselves. They wander aimlessly for what seems like hours, before ultimately deciding to settle into the Gym as they were supposed to...
"Ahem! Gooooood morning, everyone!"
"..."
"I said GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE! Don't pretend like you can't hear me, you lazy louts! Get your butts over to the podium, pronto!"
Following the instructions of the strange voice, you do just that. You notice a single microscope sitting on top of the podium, and without anything else to do, decide to give it a look-see.
"What took ya so long? I swear, kids these days can't follow the easiest of instructions! Back in my day you didn't even get plot intros!"
"No, no, get it together! This is a special occassion! The anniversary of Big Brother Minikuma's Mini Trial Experiment! There's gonna be cake! Celebrations! Hm... Well, he is gone, and I did always prefer the name 'Game Infinity' anyway... Hmmmmmm..."
"WELCOME, STUDENTS! I AM MICROKUMA*! I'll be serving as your Headmaster for the next week or so, pending delays! Please pay no mind to my slightly varying size! Anything goes in the micro-world! I can puff up like the Avocado, or slim down like a self-conscious high school girl whenever I please! Gyahahahahaha!"
*The names of all bears in this Mini Trial are fictitious. No identification with actual bears (living or deceased) is intended or should be inferred.
"You have chosen, or have been chosen, to participate in one of our yearly school traditions! VIOOOOLENT MUUUUURDEEEER! That's right, ladies and gentlebears! One lucky student gets to DIE! And the rest of you get to sit through a blatantly unbalanced trial, depending on whether I like or hate the Blackened! That's the killer, by the way, but you know that already, right? Don't they tell you about this in the school's brochure?"
"Now recently, these trials that are supposed to be 'Mini' have gotten a little... Complex."
"Well I say TO HELL WITH THAT! I'm tired of these actions, alibis, AFKers, and everything in between! That's right boys and girls, we're doing this SIMPLE AS CAN BE! There! Are! No! Actions!"
"Oh... I can bearly contain myself! Just thinking of the good old days is enough to get me all hot under the fur! And you know how dangerous that is? Here's something they never teach you in Biology: Germs can smell fear, kids!"
"I'm gonna go wash off in some hydrochloric acid! And while I'm gone, I expect a lot from you all..."
"Let's give it everything we've got! We're gonna start of the triple digits with a bang! Go make it something to remember!"
SIGNUP FORM

Ultimate Talent:
Pronouns (If You Know Why Then You Know):
This mini trial's signups will end Wednesday the 2nd of August at 5:30pm BST.
The trial will begin on Friday night, and end Sunday night. Who needs exact times?
Signups for Blackened are open until the signup deadline ends.
The maps we use will depend on player count, but the first two floors of Hope's Peak are a given.
If you're unfamiliar with the original Mini Trial rules, the only real difference is the 1) lack of action-based alibis and 2) voting on specific areas to investigate.
Happy 100!
