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!]

[If Dazai picks up the jacket, he'll find it's on the large side of the spectrum, and it's long like it's meant for lanky people. This size in particular fits on a few people: Shin, Suzaku, Raven, Ango, Dist, Rean, and Pizza. Neat!

[deadlygoals]

[ WHY IS PIZZA LONG he's baby ]

It looks like it can fit Shin, Suzaku, Raven, Ango, Dist, Rean, and Pizza. Rean and Ango are clear thanks to alibis. Is there anyone from that list who might have the same powers as Suzaku?

[ Also what about the pants? ]

[puperoni]

You know my power now, and I showed Rean how it works too.

[ Extra long flatbread pizza. ]

[bawcock]

And didn't Shin already show his power too? We can probably rule him out.

[puperoni]

Yeah, he did.

[umbralant]

[The pants seem to corroborate those candidates, yup. They have a similar black color than the shirt and jacket, so at least you can be sure they didn't come from a different source]

[twoasone]

I don't. You don't remember me summoning that damned doppleganger at the last trial?

[Also, what is the pattern of the blood stain on the coat now that he's looking at it.]

[umbralant]

[The rainwater that pooled into the sewers seem to have deformed the shape of the blood on these clothes, but there's certainly enough blood to be noticeable, even on this black color]

[twoasone]

[ What about the location of the blood? Where on the coat is it? ]

[pr159]

Isn't that just Raven and Dist? We know Shin's power, and know... [ it's been two weeks and this still feels fucking stupid to say ] ...Pizza's now, assuming Rean wasn't covering for him.

[psychophant]

It wasn't Dist. We shared a room last night and this morning.

[puperoni]

[ LOOKS AT IAGO FOR THE FIRST GODAMN TIME THIS ENTIRE TRIAL TO GRIN!!

:D

Thumbs up you're making other friends!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

[youspinmeknightround]

[he's just staying silent. One of these guys has to have Lux, too. They just have to.]

[deadlygoals]

Did anyone else know your powers before this?

[notbymyside]

I have Gravitas. I can provide a demonstration, if anyone would like.

[pr159]

Go for it.

On that note, Suzaku has already seen me use mine, but I can do the same if needed.

[ortion]

As if I would wear something so plain.

That said, before you get ahead of yourself, I do have an alibi as well. I was with Iago until Rembrandt made his announcement.

[Why out his power if he doesn't have to?]

[deadlygoals]

I hope you don't mind if I'm thorough by asking you about your power.

[apothecares]

You might’ve chosen something plain to make people not think it’s you, or for practical reasons.

[Thanks for that lesson Therion]

[pr159]

[ THINKING ABOUT THIS A LITTLE MORE... ]

You know, frankly, I don't think we should blindly accept any of these alibis since we're just taking the word of their friends as truth. If they liked them enough to spend the night with them, who's to say they wouldn't lie to protect them?

[apothecares]

That’s true, it’s easy enough ta say you were with someone, and no way to prove without another person.

[deadlygoals]

[ He's still hopping around from Ango's demonstration. ]

Want to ask Dist and Iago for a demonstration of their powers then?

[raventhaw]

[ she hates everyone but. well. she has no choice.

she cuts her finger with the hilt of her sword...and then blood starts floating in the air.

yep. she’s a blood bender...aka sanguis user. ]

[baitless]

... it seems so bizarrely common...

[pr159]

Huh. We have more in common than I thought.
