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!]
baitless: he looks a bit tired, but less intensely so. (how vaguely and unhelpfully can i put it)

As I said, I'm fairly certain I can handle them. It won't be much of an issue for me.

[He pauses, and then his next part is said quietly, specifically to Seteth:]

If it's because something like that wouldn't be an issue for you back in your world, then I must ask you to reconsider. Your 'normal' before here isn't the same as your 'normal' now.
baitless: an expression that can serve as either deep frustration or, perhaps, some level of grief. who can say. (i am so tired all of the time.)

...I can't say it wouldn't be an issue back in my world, actually, but that would be an issue I would have to deal with then.

Hence why I ask you to think carefully.
baitless: bringing a hand up to his face thoughtfully. (chai... just means tea...)

I've thought about it since we found out what the price actually entailed, actually. Like I've said, I don't like the idea, but... well. Better me than the rest of you.
