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!]

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. ]

[moonfang]

Aspi-whatsis?

[pr159]

The name for the medical devices I work with.

[moonfang]

Uhhhh.... okay.

[that didn't help at all, Rideaux]

[pr159]

[ ain't his fault you're a dumbass ]

[twoasone]

.......

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

[umbralant]

[After some waiting, the result...is nothing! The doppelganger stands there, staring at Shin without much of an expression. It doesn't seem like the poison had any effect

Science!]

[pr159]

[ WELP




GLAD HE WASTED THOSE ]

[ortion]

[Get fuckin' wrecked.]

And here I thought they might be a complete biological replica... I see, I see.

Then there is reason to believe that even if the replica had created the toxic fumes by mistake, it wouldn't have succumbed to them. But there is still the possibility that it might have been physically injured during the cleaning process.

[p_q]

Strangling. The damage wasn't during the cleaning process.

[inordertobelieve]

And how do you know?

[bawcock]

There's a chance it takes a while, too, right? It is a poison.

[ Not all poisons are gonna hit immediately. ]

[pr159]

It's intended to be fast-acting. That's why it's used as a euthanizing agent in the first place.

[twoasone]

... [He turns to the others.]

Happy now?

[pr159]

[ not particularly ]

[moonfang]

Why didn't ya just order it to do that itself?

[twoasone]

What sane person would want to order it to poison itself?

[moonfang]

I dunno! Seems easier than shovin' yer hands in its gob. Even if it looks like yer brother...

[bawcock]

And didn't he say something about it reminding him of his brother? I don't know. Maybe I'm biased, but something about this feels off. [ Thinking it over, thinking it over. ]

Why didn't he ask one of us to do it instead of poisoning someone who looked like family? I just don't get it.

[moonfang]

I dunno either. I ain't got a lotta family ties, so I can't say I get it.

...I'd really like ta see what happens when Pinky over there covers up his head and then makes a clone, ya know?

[twoasone]

There's the issue I take with it! It only resembles my brother, but it's just a pale imitation! A lifeless doll that is nothing like the original! It's a terrible thing to see a family member die, but another to see a fake live!

[p_q]

It's simply a tool, is it not? Though I suppose you and the others have a special hatred for these doppelgangers. Curious.
