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!]

We're moving in circles here, so let's try a different approach.

The so-called autopsy report stated the time of death as being around 7am. The body was found less than half an hour after. The killer would have only had around 30 minutes to escape the scene.

Thus, I'd like to know where everyone was in the timeframe from 6am to 7:30am.

For myself, I ate breakfast in the housing kitchen at 7 and moved to investigate as soon as I caught wind of the events.

[ Points to Rean. ]

I was sleeping with him. Then I got up to let Ango and Seteth out of the room. After that, I went outside to check out if something happened. I headed to the Opera House and met up with Suzaku there.

[notbymyside]

[OKAY HE'S STARING AT THE WORDING OF THAT FIRST PART because Dazai is a troll but Ango isn't sure which way his trollish nature has gone this time. But after a moment he will confirm it.]

Dazai-kun kidnapped Seteth and shoved him in my room for the night, and then ran off to be with Rean I suppose. But he did come back and de-trap the door so Seteth and I could get out. It took a few minutes to do and was around 7am.

[deadlygoals]

[baitless]

...yes, I can confirm this.

[reanbeans]

That's right. He woke me up as he was getting those two of their room, and then I went outside as well to do the same.

I went to the gym next.

[ Both to maybe get in some early exercise and see if anything had happened. ]

[baitless]

…I was wondering where you went after you left the room, Dazai, particularly after I saw you messing about in the fish tanks earlier in the week. At least I suppose Rean has you cleared of suspicion.

[deadlygoals]

When I was leading you to Ango's room, I realized that Rean would probably go do something stupid. [ a look over to Rean. ] So I decided to tag along with him for the night instead.

I was messing with the fish tanks to see your reaction.

[baitless]

…

It seems like you've been doing a good job of looking after people.

[BETTER THAN HE HAS...]

[deadlygoals]

I wouldn't call it looking after. Just getting in his way~

[ Nothing else. Honestly ]

[baitless]

...ah. Certainly.

[raventhaw]

I was reading in my room before I decided to head to the museum. I wanted to take a closer look at some of the exhibits and the specimens -- that was when I noticed something was off and found Lysithea in the tank.

[moonfang]

Sleepin' like a log. Like I said earlier, I froze my door shut.

[twoasone]

I have no idea. I ended up spending the whole night in the Art Studio and woke up to the pouring rain outside.

[ Someone got too into that personal painting project... ]

[puperoni]

I was asleep until the yelling started again. I was really tired from the day before.

[bawcock]

[ Starting to think he needs to find a buddy to hang out with tbh. ]

If it happened that early, I still would've been asleep.

[youspinmeknightround]

I ate breakfast at about 6:15 and then started walking deeper into the city. I was planning to go to the opera house and the museum.

[he knits his brows, and looks down.]

It... took me a long time, though. At least I can confirm the time I met Dazai.

[deadlygoals]

You looked really wet when I saw you~ You shouldn't spend so much time in the rain, you know?

[youspinmeknightround]

[a slight groan.]

I know, but I already spent the first half of the week in bed... I was starting to get cabin fever. I hadn't even seen the museum yet...

[so basically all of this was his first impression. MAYBE WON'T BE GOING BACK THERE :|a]

[deadlygoals]

Was the investigation the first time you've been in there?

[youspinmeknightround]

Yes, it was.

[pr159]

I woke up in my room sometime around 6:30, and went to investigate when I heard the announcement.

[p_q]

In the city, at the clock tower.

[His tone makes it clear he still thinks this check is mostly useless.]

[drydrown]

I was awake, but in my room. I remained there until all of this nonsense started. I'm not in the practice of staring at corpses, so I didn't bother to go look at it.

[Which is kind of. I don't know what anyone expected, short of that.]

[apothecares]

I can confirm the time of death was at 7am. I examined the body initially.

I was in my room at those times, labeling the things I’ve made in the laboratory.
