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!]

The best I can think of is trying out the candles. Unless it was something that someone took with them, such as a lighter or a lantern.

[He nods along with this.]

Candles are a possibility. Without a steady source of light, it's hard to get around.

Though if it's candles, how would the person have presented Lysethia from seeing the light from them?

Perhaps they didn't. Perhaps she attacked, sensing danger.

Not likely. She was stabbed in the back, remember? If she had attacked the person, then there would be injuries on her frontside.

I believe the possibility came up that this was inflicted post-mortem. She had a knife of her own - perhaps they were both hers.

Why would she need two of them, though?

Were they both from the same place? She may have had one for the fish, and one to use on herself.

...I have no idea where the one in her sleeve is from, but I do have it here.

...I see. That would make sense, since. Well. I didn't want to cut myself on something that had been used to gut a fish either...
