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!]

Then what, pray tell, is it about?

[drydrown]

Do you really not comprehend the difference between "solving crimes" and "playing amateur detective because some-" [...whatever he was about to call the Lady was probably not very nice.] ..."because she finds it entertaining"? Sometimes it can be about justice, yes, fine, I hardly care, but sometimes it needs to be about keeping whatever they want to do to us from happening.

[god, he is usually not quite like this, just give him a moment.]

...

Did you happen to get a look at my profile?

[drydrown]

I did.

[notbymyside]

Should I enlighten you on just what my job duties are, or can you extrapolate them from our current conversation?

[drydrown]

That depends. Are you done acting like maybe if you just act superior enough, it will magically make everyone less stupid?

1/2

[notbymyside]

No. People are going to be stupid regardless.

['You're right, people are sinfully stupid. But what's wrong with that?']

[Suddenly, as soon as that thought reaches him, he sighs. Whatever point he had been about to make, it's not worth it to him anymore.]

Nevermind, it's not pertinent here. Come talk to me later if you want to know.
