SECOND TRIAL

Trial II


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!]

Perhaps Aufero as well, making her too tired to struggle. I have that power, but I can promise I have not used it on anyone here.
pr159: (i look for you in crowds)

Oh? I've been curious about that one. What kind of "energy" is involved, exactly? I assume it's not just for making people tired or waking them up.

Apparently it can also be used to power electrical devices. I can drain them as well, but I haven't found any exposed power sources. [He's not about to stick his fragile flesh arm into some clock gears.]
pr159: (there's much i don't want to remember)

[personal profile] pr159 2020-01-18 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, that's interesting. ]

So you could electrocute someone in water, couldn't you?
ortion: (❀ do not want)

[Dist suddenly looks pissed and just a bit envious as soon as this is brought up.]
pr159: (some other side to some other story)

[personal profile] pr159 2020-01-18 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
They didn't give you that one, I take it?
ortion: (❀ my life is so tragic)

[personal profile] ortion 2020-01-18 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
They did not...

[He sounds so disappointed.

Distappointed.]
pr159: (doing foolish things just to see)

[personal profile] pr159 2020-01-18 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a shame.
ortion: (❀ don't need no sass)

[personal profile] ortion 2020-01-18 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
It truly is! I've been working hard to solve our electricity problem, and now I discover that I could have had a perfect workaround!

[Such a tragedy.]

[ Well he's outed himself so... ]

It doesn't work that way!
ortion: (❀ extra unsure)

[personal profile] ortion 2020-01-18 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh? How does it work, then?

[He heard "power electrical devices", so...]
puperoni: (14)

[personal profile] puperoni 2020-01-18 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
It doesn't work on them at all. I tried to use it on that weird Flurry machine in the new restaurant because I was hungry, and it didn't do anything. [ Probably better it didn't because there would have been milk everywhere, like hell he knows how to use one. ]
ortion: (❀ my life is so tragic)

[personal profile] ortion 2020-01-18 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wow, the disappointment train continues.]

What exactly does it work on? Living beings?
puperoni: (16)

[personal profile] puperoni 2020-01-18 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it does.
ortion: (❀ just no)
