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!]

[ He gives a serious nod. ]

People will stop pestering you and we can dedicate the remaining time to make sure that Lysithea gets justice and no other innocent person has to die.

I understand a violation of trust is a serious issue, but under these conditions, it'd be hard to not forgive you. It's for your own safety as well, after all.

[puperoni]

....ahh, okay then. If it's to help everyone, then I guess it's alright.

[ He shouldn't be selfish, especially on something this serious. ]

I wanted to test out my power, but it was too hard to catch a pigeon so I wound up catching two fish instead. The power they gave me is Auferos.

[inordertobelieve]

[ Mikami relaxes at that and his expression softens a little. ]

Thank you. That was all we needed. Aufero doesn't seem to hold any relevance to the case right now, so you're good.

[ Fish are a connection but literally everyone has been staring at fish this week to various degrees, it'd be a flimsy lead without other evidence. ]

Are you serious? It can transmit electricity. Drowning by electrocution could explain why there wasn't a struggle.

[puperoni]

It's not really electricity.

[pr159]

How does it power electrical devices, then?

[puperoni]

It can't. He said he didn't try it, and I did!

[pr159]

Maybe you just don't know how to use it.

[puperoni]

[ ................. ]

[puperoni]

I know how to use it, it's just like the power I have back home. I wouldn't make a mistake on something like that. [ His voice is now really flat, funstuff. ]

[pr159]

[ hm ]

Is that so? What did you use it for there?

[puperoni]

It doesn't matter, and because it doesn't matter I'm not going to tell you.

[pr159]

Noted. I'm free to assume you're lying, then.

[puperoni]

I already told someone about that, like I said. If it's important later, they can say it. But right now it isn't, so there's nothing more to say.

[pr159]

It's too bad that person doesn't care enough to come to your defense already, isn't it?

[puperoni]

[ He shakes his head. ]

They know that I don't like to talk about it, so they wouldn't.
