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!]

There's been some discussion on the drowning and what powers were used in it, and how the blood relates to it. I was wondering... could there have been an accomplice? It looks like a power was used to keep her in the tank, but there's also that ash that could have been made with Lux. It might explain some of the random elements if we're looking at a combination of powers.

[inordertobelieve]

In the case of an accomplice, we'd have to consider how the motive figures into it.

People from the same world might have reasons to wish to eliminate the same person. Otherwise, I can hardly imagine any of us got so close to one another to go this far yet.

[youspinmeknightround]

Not necessarily. In the rules it says an accomplice gets a minor version of the motive, so someone who would rather have their target killed than to have them erased from existence may have had a reason to cooperate.

[deadlygoals]

Blackmail could also be a motive to participate.

[youspinmeknightround]

I... guess that's possible, but who would have something that one of us could blackmail them with?

[deadlygoals]

Maybe someone made a deal with Lady and got extra information or maybe they found out a secret.

[youspinmeknightround]

Huh. Would she even do that? [that's... one heck of a layer to add to potential cases, if so. wow]

[deadlygoals]

We can't rule it out, but it might be best not to focus on that angle for now either.

[raventhaw]

It sounds like the only people who were from the same world are Ango and Dazai, and Seteth and Lysithea. Unless I'm missing anyone?

[deadlygoals]

[ have you met pizza ]

[inordertobelieve]

[ he likes not to think about this ]

[notbymyside]

How many people are even from the same world?

[There's Dazai and him, Seteth and Lysethia, and he doesn't know of anyone else.]

[moonfang]

Me an' Batman -- Ulquiorra.

[p_q]

Once again, my name is Ulquiorra, not anything else.

[Look, he won't bother to get into fights about stupid shit when he's just dealing with a Hollow but don't introduce him to everyone else that way????]

[notbymyside]

Do you two have any reason to cooperate like that?

[moonfang]

[just laughing in response]

[notbymyside]

Maniacal laughter isn't an answer.

[p_q]

None.

[notbymyside]

[SEE was that so hard to do Zan???]

I see. Thank you.

[bawcock]

An accomplice...? Thinking on it now, that would explain why she was stabbed in the back. [ Or maybe...

Putting his left hand to his chin and turning thoughtfully to the side. He's got nothing for any ash but, hm. ] If it was an accomplice, then maybe it didn't have to be two people who knew each other. It could've been a double—or even an illusion.

[youspinmeknightround]

....Can you make an illusion with blood as the medium?

[GOD!! WHAT IF NONE OF THIS IS REAL!! well it'd probably just be the ashes if anything but still.]

[bawcock]

No idea but it's worth trying to figure out. Does anybody remember what kind of stuff that guy was using to doodle last week?

[raventhaw]

Mud, wasn't it? Unless you're talking about the rest of the week prior to the murder.

[bawcock]

He definitely used mud for the crime, I think we all remember that much.

So yeah, I meant earlier in the week. I remember him saying something about how he'd been "testing it all week." That could mean he used other stuff, too.

[reanbeans]

There really weren't any doodles on the crime scene, as far as I've heard? So I don't think the power was used.
