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!]

…

At the end of the 90 minutes, if we haven't come to a conclusion, I volunteer.

[TO CUT OFF MIKAMI....]

[raventhaw]

Out of curiosity, why are you volunteering?

[baitless]

[...it takes him a moment or so to figure out how to word this.]

The initial changes don't seem particularly difficult for me to deal with, personally.

[bawcock]

Do you even know what they are?

[baitless]

If they're what we discussed at the meeting, they seem to involve becoming more reptilian in appearance.

[notbymyside]

We should at least ask if the payment can be spread out over several people.

[p_q]

That's even more foolish if the changes are progressive.

[baitless]

As I said, I'm fairly certain I can handle them. It won't be much of an issue for me.

[inordertobelieve]

[ !!!

He'll say nothing to this, but god, he's so relieved. ]

[reanbeans]

[ He has a feeling he won't be able to stop him, but man. ]

Seteth...

[baitless]

Do not fret about it. It is only a last resort, after all.

[drydrown]

Are none of you going to let the idiot do it?

[raventhaw]

[ she hates to agree with cumore, but... ]

I thought Mikami had something to prove.

[inordertobelieve]

The ones who think I need to prove it are you people.

[raventhaw]

I'm not the one with the strong desire for justice.

[baitless]

None of this is happening for your personal amusement, you know.

[drydrown]

No, that aspect of it is just incidental.

[baitless]

Then can we not waste time rubbing the man's face in it at every opportunity...

[deadlygoals]

Don't take the hint.

[baitless]

This is a last resort, you know. We should probably focus on actually finding the killer instead of trying to talk me out of this.

[deadlygoals]

I'm saying we won't need it. I have an idea on at least who could have been involved.

[baitless]

...Ah, I see.

Who are you thinking it was, then?

[galrarm]

[ oh big concern. ]

You're absolutely sure?

[baitless]

Yes, entirely so.

[galrarm]

... I definitely don't like it, but if your mind is made up...

If you do have second thoughts, though, I have no problem taking it.
