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!]

Mud, wasn't it? Unless you're talking about the rest of the week prior to the murder.

[bawcock]

He definitely used mud for the crime, I think we all remember that much.

So yeah, I meant earlier in the week. I remember him saying something about how he'd been "testing it all week." That could mean he used other stuff, too.

[reanbeans]

There really weren't any doodles on the crime scene, as far as I've heard? So I don't think the power was used.

[bawcock]

You're forgetting something very important here. There was water right next to them.

They could have just washed whatever symbol away, or even burned whatever they wrote on using a candle.

[reanbeans]

So, if that power was used, do you have an idea of how the killer could've gotten Lysithea into the tank without her being bruised or wounded besides the knife in her back?

[ He was rather curious to hear what the other thought. ]

[bawcock]

The same way as any other power, I assume. [ Just lifting her up and putting her in??? It's only half a Seteth and she was tiny. ]

[reanbeans]

Except, they would've had to hold her in place to keep her from getting out.

[bawcock]

Oh right, the knife wasn't what— [ Well, what killed her.

Sigh. ] Maybe we're missing something with the tank then, or we overlooked an injury on her. Do you think the knife could've been used as a cover for a different wound?

[reanbeans]

[ Hrmmm... ]

I was thinking about that too. Though I just figured at least that they somehow used something that stopped the bloodflow so much, and given on the sequence of events, it had to be a power.

[youspinmeknightround]

If it has to be a drawing, then probably not...

What about clones, then? [that was the other possibility Erik brought up but he's kind of hit or miss on it.]

[reanbeans]

...There could have been clones. But it still didn't explain how she was deposited into the water like she was. If she had been held down by someone, there'd have been bruises, wouldn't there?
