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!]

[ortion]

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.

[inordertobelieve]

[ NODDING IN AGREEMENT. ]

[twoasone]

... 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... ]

[moonfang]

Should I stab this one, too?

[raventhaw]

Is that even a question?

[ortion]

We are poisoning this one, actually.

[No stabbing, Zangetsu.]

[raventhaw]

Fine, do as you will.

[ ngl i forgot about the poisoning woops, this is why you don't tag on minimal sleep ]

[ortion]

[You are totally fine!]

We are simply covering all bases. I have not tested this particular manner of damage.

[raventhaw]

...Fair enough. If the poison's effective, we'll see what the doppelganger leaves behind anyway.

[bawcock]

[ why is it starting to feel like some of these tests are half for trial and half 'cause dist wants to see what happens ]

[ortion]

[Listen...he is entirely innocent here!!]

[deadlygoals]

[ look dist has cartoon villain all over him ]

[moonfang]

Awww.

[he sheathes the sword and sits back down]

[p_q]

Have the suspect order it to poison itself. That should cover everything.

[pr159]

[ Takes a pill bottle out of his pocket and shakes out three pills into his hand. ]

It's welcome to come and get them.

[deadlygoals]

What kind of poison is it, anyways?

[pr159]

It's made from a mineral in my world. In small doses, it counteracts the side effects of aspyrixis. In higher doses, it's used to euthanize sick or injured monsters.

[ He's willing to go a few more days without it if you want to take some. Unless his giving them to you counts as murder. ]

[twoasone]

.......

[ Shin himself just takes the pills out of Rideaux's hand and shoves them into his double's throat. ]

[pr159]

Are we not doing the poison thing?

[ Because he will happily keep these pills, but ]

[raventhaw]

[ looks like you are ]

[twoasone]

No. You're already going to poison it, so why bother.

[ He sounds... Upset. ]

[moonfang]

Oh, I missed that part'a the plan.

[he was busy. Stabbing.]

[twoasone]

[ He grumbles something to himself. ]

It's bad enough that thing keeps reminding me of my brother, and now we have to kill it as well...

[notbymyside]

Your brother...?

[twoasone]

... Yes. I used to have a twin, but... He passed away recently. Being able to summon a hollow being that resembles him still unnerves me.
