antumbrac | THIRD TRIAL

Trial III

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:

"After the fiasco somebody I won't name caused yesterday, I'm glad to see someone else had the courage to do what was needed. This time it's a valid murder. To the culprit: I wish you good luck, darling. Let's see you get away with this murder."

Someone seems to be pleased, unfortunately. Anything that makes the Lady pleased can't be good, can it?

Let the trial for the death of Olivert Reise Arnor and Sirius 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!]

I see. Then you wouldn't know that if injured, a replica melts on the spot.

Honestly, I've wondered just how many of my fellow Klados users might be taken by surprise in regard to this little caveat.

[ ....! ]

Well, that does make a lot more sense than there being paint. Is the color dependent on the user?

While I cannot speak for everyone with Klados, it did in my case. The pile of sludge left behind by my replica contained colors that one might associate with me.

[Pinks, blacks, whites...a Dist-colored puddle.]

I could offer a demonstration, but I have no desire to clean up the ensuing mess.

I concur on both counts.

[ You can kill his double but he's not cleaning. ]

[gross!!!! why are all these investigations so disgusting!!!]

When yours melted, what color was it?

[He hates it too, but hey, at least this knowledge might be useful.]

A mixture of colors that reflect my appearance- what I was wearing at the time, and so on.

... Black and white fabric. Only two colors.

[Interesting. Even in Ulquiorra's case it would have been at least three.]

...There's someone who does fit that description.

[ He'll cast his gaze on Shin ]

[Inclining his head in acknowledgment. He'll be watching the ensuing Klados hullabaloo very closely indeed.]

That's about what I was expecting. It certainly does look likely that it was someone with Klados, then.

We do know of someone who fits those colors and has Klados.

And who's probably familiar with the kiln in the art room, no less.

Shin, do you mind explaining what you were doing last night?

[ Enters the combo to be a lawyer, I guess. ]

Before we continue on this path, I personally would like to see confirmation of this being the truth. We have several Klados users, if anyone is willing to provide a demonstration.

It melts?

[ Huh. Well, he sees what that's getting at, anyway. ]

Do the colors of the melted... whatever reflect the major colors present on the double, or is there not a connection?
