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!]

Honestly, I cannot confirm this. But Seteth brought the cleaning supplies along with him, yes? We could perform an experiment right here. But we would need to make sure of everyone's safety...

[Maybe they can find a way to do it in a semi-closed environment?]

Does it need to be an inhalant, or will any poison do?

Are you implying that you have some on hand...?

[wtf Rideaux]

I have a medicine that's toxic in high doses. If you forced a few pills down the throat of something that hadn't built up any tolerance, it would probably do the trick fairly quickly.

[ AS MUCH AS HE DOESN'T LOVE THE IDEA OF WASTING HIS DRUGS ]

I see...

[He won't press Rideaux on why he has those on hand, since it's not related.]

It is worth testing. I can summon another replica, but testing Shin's would make the most sense...

Urgh... I really hate summoning that thing...

Since when? You've used it several times already.

Just because I have doesn't mean I dislike doing so.

And do you think I don't?

[This is the first time he hasn't been super reluctant to show off his power.]

If you wish to prove your innocence, you had better do it.

[ NODDING IN AGREEMENT. ]

... Fine.

[ He summons the horrid thing in front of him and walks away... He's really not keen on seeing it right now.

It just stands there... Waiting... ]
