From what you can see, all the lights in the opera house are turned on. Only when you enter and see the open doors that lead into the main theater, you can see that room's lights are currently turned off. It's very dark in there.

Like before, Rembrandt escorts everybody to the stage. In the dark you still can see the many blue-eyed things you may be getting used to. They're still very scared of Rembrandt, staying as far away from the assistant as possible. The stage is illuminated by the spotlights, the only light in this theater.

The Lady and Rembrandt are at their balcony. She stands up, addressing the group:

"This time we don't need any introductions, do we? Let's make this an interesting trial, just like last week. Give me a name! Who is the killer this time?"

Short and sweet. Will the Lady give you that offer later? Only time will tell.

Let the trial for the death of Lysithea von Ordelia begin.

[OOC NOTE: From the halfway point of the trial and onwards, you'll have the option to ask the masterminds for the chance to get a hint! Be warned, though: the price will involve some body horror for your character. Keep that in mind when deciding to use this option!]

[but!!!! the formatting!!!!!!]

Well, at least we have that settled.

[even though he hates the idea of being WRONG!!!]

So it's possible that she came to the aquarium to study the use of her power on the fish - she possibly cut the first one up, then... used her power to force some of the others to explode. [gods what is this case.] Does that sound plausible, considering what you know of her?

[baitless]

Since it’s been confirmed that she drowned, I’m wondering if all the exploded fish are from attempts to try and get out of the tank.

[psychophant]

Do you know if she could swim?

...Speaking of, how exactly did you all get her body out of the tank?

[did... did one of you just... go in after her.......]

[pr159]

The tank was broken, and most of the water had escaped already.

[ WHO KNOWS HOW THAT HAPPENED!!! ]

[psychophant]

Was anyone able to determine how the tank was broken?

[raventhaw]

That was me.

[ :) ]

When I discovered the tank, I put a hole in it to drain out all the water. I wasn't about to reach in there and get my hands dirty. Literally.

[psychophant]

[trrrrrrying so hard not to laugh oh my god raven don't do that—]

Well. I'm sure someone is going to scold you for "tampering with evidence" or something of the sort, but I can hardly blame you.

[raventhaw]

I expected that going into this trial.

[psychophant]

As long as you're prepared.

[HAVE FUN......]

[inordertobelieve]

.... even if I say anything, it will fall on deaf ears, won't it?

[ HE IS SO GODDAMN TIRED. ]

[raventhaw]

Good. You're catching on.

[ :) hi mikami! ]

[inordertobelieve]

I wish I didn't have to.

[ HE HATES YOU; LADY. ]

[raventhaw]

[ THE ONLY ONE LEFT STANDING MOTHERFUCKER!!!! ]

[baitless]

If Raven hadn’t broken the tank, it wouldn’t have been terribly difficult to pull her out. It was easy for me to reach down in and retrieve her.

[psychophant]

So it does seem likely that a power was used to keep her in place, though that doesn't explain whatever is going on with that burnt blood.

[youspinmeknightround]

[what a horrifying mental image...]

If that were it, wouldn't they be closer to the bottom? So she could kick the glass after it had been broken enough...

[p_q]

You expect too much from a drowning waif.

[youspinmeknightround]

But isn't it possible she held her breath, even if for a moment?

[p_q]

It is not just physical ability that is needed to escape such a situation. Though I doubt she would have been able to kick out that type of glass, regardless.
