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 certainly took your time on this one, didn't you? Now then, let's see how you fared...

[ He looks over the votes, face impassive then adjusts his glasses. ]

Fortunately it seems all your sacrifices [ Looking straight at Seteth. ] were not for naught. The one responsible for the death of Lysithea von Ordealia is just as you deduced: Suzaku Kururugi.

I have to say, what a show you put on tonight for us. Ah, or it wasn't quite a show in your eyes, was it?

[twoasone]

Well.

[ Glances back at the others gathered. ] I must agree, this is an interesting result...

[baitless]

Wonderful. I hate everything about this.

[deadlygoals]

[ It feels like his sacrifice was for naught since they arrived to that conclusion before. ]

[reanbeans]

[ Worried glance in Seteth's direction ]

This is all horrible enough, but...try to be careful.

[ He didn't know what else to say...still, though. ]

[baitless]

I told you, I'll be fine on that end.

[hopefully. he's just going to head over to a chair and slump down into it, because he is so tired all of the time.]

[dominioned]

Isn't it just? But a deal is a deal.

[baitless]

I understand. I'm not fighting you on that.

[sigh. he's just genuinely fucking bummed it's suzaku, and now two kids who didn't deserve any of this are dead.]

I imagine you'll want to make us watch the execution first, of course.

[bawcock]

I... don't know what else to say. I'm sorry, Seteth. [ Feels like a heel, tbqh.

Damn. ] If you need to talk after this, my door's open to you.

[baitless]

...I'll see how I feel after everything. I'll probably head to the church when those two are done with me, at least.

[pr159]

[ takes a bow ]

[twoasone]

... Why didn't you try that chair test earlier?

[pr159]

He was cooperative enough that I had doubts, and since we narrowed it down to a single ability, it seemed like a good opportunity to get as much information as possible. Look how much better prepared we'll all be for the next time.

[deadlygoals]

He probably wanted to see what would happen.

[youspinmeknightround]

Good work.

[just the deadest voice]

[pr159]

[ He at least seems slightly less smug after hearing the explanation. ]

Well, we did get to the truth. You wouldn't have had it another way, would you?

[notbymyside]

[Ango is going to casting an angry look at Suzaku.]

If it was you all along, then why did you put up a fight to the point where we needed to get a clue?

[reanbeans]

[ Watching this space because uh. Yeah he wants to know too ]

[youspinmeknightround]

Because... I don't remember killing her.

I understand now that it was me. But at the same time, I can promise it wasn't.

[moonfang]

Whatdya mean you don't remember? You sayin' you went into some kind of fugue state or somethin'?

[notbymyside]

[Okay. What.]

Are you saying your memory was erased?

[youspinmeknightround]

[Suzaku sighs through his nose.]

I hate to say it, but you're right. I truly believed I was innocent.

[not now, though. It's been proven to him. And so, he's got nothing to argue with in terms of his fate. Just disgust for the Lady.]

This must have been so fun for you.

[dominioned]

I had a good time, yes. It was more enjoyable than your first display of theater, at least.

[ Good times, good times. ]

[p_q]

[His gaze flickers from Rembrandt to Suzaku at that weight on the word eyes. Hmm.]

These continue to be a waste of time.

[dominioned]

Do you really prefer the Clock Tower that much?
