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!]

Strip Check

[deadlygoals]

[ Dazai is setting up a privacy screen up in the stage. ]

Since some of you want to be thorough, it's time for a strip check. We can break up in pairs to do this if you prefer, or I can just check. Rideaux wants us checking butts, but I think we can check knees, legs, and chest areas. [ A pause. ]

Raven being the only lady here can pick who she trusts to check her over.

[inordertobelieve]

I'm not doing this.

[ There's justice and evidence and then there is undressing for any of these people. ]

[bawcock]

... sorry, I'm not doing this either.

[pr159]

[ He wants to ask why the fuck Dazai thinks he should be the one to conduct this check, but THAT WOULD JUST BE INVITING MORE BULLSHIT JOKES ABOUT HIM WANTING TO SEE ALL THESE BUTTS HIMSELF SO

he just Frowns ]

[soumettre]

I'll check you, then. That is fair, right?

[deadlygoals]

Are you curious? It's just going to be more bandages.

[soumettre]

I don't mind— but do get new bandages. It's unhygienic.

[deadlygoals]

I did~ I got a first aid kit last week.

[notbymyside]

...Dazai-kun. Can't we narrow the suspects first and then check only them?

[reanbeans]

Ango has a point. Lux seems to have been the power that was used, so I think of the people we should definitely check first is Suzaku.

[deadlygoals]

Sure sure. We can check Suzaku and then figure out who else might have it.

[youspinmeknightround]

All right. I'll cooperate.

[he certainly can't NOT after trying to take the hint for Seteth]

[deadlygoals]

[ Gesturing to the privacy screen. ]

After you~

[youspinmeknightround]

[He goes behind it, just.... going through the motions at this point.

But he's clean - there are no wounds, even butt bruises.]

[notbymyside]

It's a good starting point, yes. Though as Rideaux suggested, sorting out whoever else has Lux will be important too.

[pr159]

Shall we go through a list of everyone whose powers we don't know, so we can narrow down our other potential Lux-users and go from there? We've established that it was one of the powers involved now, right?

[notbymyside]

If we're going to go that far, then we might as well ask everyone to demonstrate their powers to prove what they have. Not only to help with this case, but to prevent further uses of these powers in murders.

[pr159]

That's fine with me.

[bawcock]

[ ... sighing. ]

We're going to have to do this sooner or later. If it's going to happen, it might as well be now.

[deadlygoals]

Are you going to share?

[bawcock]

I think I'll see what happens with Seteth first.

[reanbeans]

[ Either way let's get this over with. He'll look at Dazai meaningfully before heading over to the privacy screen. ]

[deadlygoals]

[ Just going to follow along. ]

You can check me after.

[reanbeans]

Haha, alright. I'll do that.

[ Rean's kind of nervous about doing this in front of anyone but it's...Dazai, so it's fine.

Rean has hardly any blemishes on his skin. The only thing noticeable is this large scar that's faded on the left side of his chest. Nothing recent, though. ]

[deadlygoals]

[ He's going to lightly poke the scar, but he doesn't say anything. ]

Clear~

[ He'll wait until Rean gets his clothes back on before he starts to take off his pants. ]

Looks like you're getting to see everything before the second date.
