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 that's the case, then isn't it odd that she'd write her own name?

[inordertobelieve]

Marking her belongings. Some people like to keep it neat.

[ HE'D DO IT. ]

We can't be sure though.

[psychophant]

No, I'd agree with that, but it's written on the page itself, isn't it? There's already a page missing and this is in with the rest of the text instead of somewhere like... the inside of the front cover, or something.

[twoasone]

Hm... Do you believe this killer was experienced with forgery?

[psychophant]

If they were, then this was a rather poor attempt. We're entirely too busy arguing over formatting to even determine whether this was her handwriting or not.

[pr159]

[ okay ASSUMING WE'VE ALL LOOKED AT IT THEN ]

Agreed. It's not like she's putting on her name at the top of a school assignment; it's her full name in the middle of what appears to be a page of data collection.

[inordertobelieve]

I don't believe it's in the middle. 'Friday, Fall' seems to be an attempt at making a header with the date, while not being aware of the date.

[pr159]

What? Why would she assume it was fall when it's this cold?

[ granted, Elympion seasons aren't necessarily the same as this world's, so maybe this isn't even cold by Poland standards?? ]

[inordertobelieve]

That's a good question and I have no answer. I don't know what her world is like in this regard.

It's just my only hypothesis for what 'fall' would mean in such a placement.

[baitless]

It depends on the area of Fodlan we’re talking about, but this sort of weather wouldn’t be uncharacteristic of autumn in Fodlan. Winter would generally bring snow rather than rain, and it’s mostly been rain here.

[psychophant]

Precisely, it's a very strange placement for it if it is hers.
