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!]

Well... now we know it won't just vaporize. Sorry for the smell, everyone.

[ Well then. ]

...No, it's fine. I think it proved something important.

It sure did.
pr159: (there really is no truth to this)

[personal profile] pr159 2020-01-18 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
That is pretty much the same smell, by the way.

[It closes one door, but it opens another.]

Did anyone take the knife out of her back and compare the wound there to the knife?

[personal profile] reanbeans 2020-01-18 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I took out the knife and it looked like it was made from the knife itself.

[personal profile] notbymyside 2020-01-18 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
If you handled the knife, how does the size of the light-knife Suzaku just made compare to the other knife?

[ Huh. Sounds like the consensus is that it's a match! ]

Just in case... Pizza, can you try using your power too?

[ He hesitates and looks around the room. ]

Will you believe me that it doesn't leave a mark like that? If someone else can back up what I'm saying too.
reanbeans: (89)

[personal profile] reanbeans 2020-01-18 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I have faith in you, honestly.

...Unfortunately I really don't know what kind of mark it leaves behind.

[ He wants to be able to back up Pizza, but...he couldn't just make things up. ]

[ He frowns, looks around the room once more and... ]

I can show you too, but no one else. Will that work?

[ He'll nod. ]

I understand. I'm ready whenever you are.

[ Rean's definitely prepared to follow. ]

[ Timing is weird, but there's probably a privacy screen right now so off they go to test this theory out, Pizza asking Rembrandt for a live fish because the ones on stage are. Kinda dead.

And thus more fishy business happens. ]


There. It's just like I said, it doesn't look like that.

[ There we go, once he examines and it proves it is not like Lux at all, he'll nod.

Especially since there's no burnt smell, or singing. ]


I really appreciate your cooperation, Pizza. I figured that was going to be the case.

[ After this he planned on treating him to something nice if the other was up for that. ]

AND spaghetti. Because today has been a lot. ]

I'd like to, believe me, I would. Unfortunately, sometimes seeing is believing. [ Scratching his head. ]

I won't force you to do it, but it would really help us out to compare the two abilities.

Sorry. Is it okay if I only show Rean?
bawcock: (♪ i'm not a perfect person)

[personal profile] bawcock 2020-01-18 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
If that's what it takes. [ Leaving this to Rean. ]
