antumbrac | SECOND TRIAL

Trial II

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!]

You know what, let's just get this out of the way. It's going to come up sooner or later, so we might as well save ourselves the headache next time. Let's all own up to what our powers are right now.

I don't care if those clothes look like they would fit you, and I don't care if your friends are willing to vouch for you. People can wear ill-fitting clothes, and they can lie to protect people they like.

If you refuse, we'll assume it's Lux and consider you a suspect.

And we'll go from there.

[ RAVEN DOES NOT LOOK HAPPY ABOUT ANY OF THIS....but she was, admittedly, thinking of the same thing earlier. selfishly she didn't voice her opinion because she wanted to keep her ability under wraps, but. ]

Well, you know what I can do now.

Check.

I'll confirm again that mine is Aufero.

I appreciate how forthcoming you were with that. Do you mind giving a quick demonstration?

I think we all know what I can do by now.

[but to demonstrate, he holds up his hand and freezes the water in the air around it, making some ~*sparkles*~]

Cute. Thank you.

Confirming again that I've got Gravitas.

Confirmed, thank you.

[ He sighs. ]

Mine is Klados, or at least I strongly intuit so. I have not tried it.

Try it, if you please.

Sonui. That's how I broke the glass in the museum earlier this week.

[ well he still hates you but that seems legit so he'll take it ]

Thank you for your cooperation.

Aufero.

You've all seen mine now.

But I would like to say: rather bold of you to casually dismiss the clue that Seteth paid with his body for as "anyone could have worn those".

[He's not being sarcastic or anything. If anything he's kind of amused because...dang.]

Can you please phrase that differently.

I'm in agreement with Dist. [especially the wording, sorry seteth!!!] Ignoring what could be our most damning clue is a colossal waste of time. We don't have much of that left, do we?

[In other words, he's not revealing his power.]

I didn't ask him to do it.

Mine’s Gelu, just like the li’l bit of magic I could use back home.

[He echoes Zangetsu and holds out a hand, concentrating a moment to coat his palm in frost before letting it dissolve away again.]

Crude. As far as I can tell, Kururugi Suzaku is still the primary suspect. Or are you protecting him now?

Seriously? We don't tell you what we have now or... what, you'll dismiss all the evidence we do have just because you think it's too easy?

I know we've been looking for culprits this whole time, but this is starting to feel like a witch hunt.
