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!]

[that. Is something to consider, if Seteth thinks so. If nothing else, he can really understand the drive for retribution that such evil acts can provoke.]

Hm.

Well, even so, there are a lot of things in this case that don't seem consistent with a killer acting in self defense. If she was going to go ahead with it, it probably wouldn't have been right there at the aquarium.

It's true. It ultimately wouldn't give us much more of an idea of who killed her, either...

That, and it was already the eleventh hour. ... I want to believe that Miss Lysithea died as someone we could have trusted. We may never know, but there's no reason to do otherwise.

Likely so.

...she did have a knife in her sleeve, but I presumed that was related to her experiments with the fish.

And she couldn't pull it out in time to defend herself, it sounds like.

Well, she did have a cut on her finger, did she not? I think those may be connected.
