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!]

[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!]

[ WELP

GLAD HE WASTED THOSE ]

[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.

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

And how do you know?

The substance on the hand of the one named Sirius.

We also have not tested the effects of Aufero on clones, I suppose.

I thought you were getting at it choking on fumes, but... that's a good point. I forgot that Sirius was dragged through the paint.

[ Hmm. ] Well, for now we can at least try testing Aufero on clones. Who has that one again?

I only have Sirius and Pizza logged down as having Aufero.

No one alive, unless one of our holdouts wants to volunteer.

I have it.

[ wow that was easy ]

Well, thank you for coming forward, then. Care to give us a demonstration?

Of course...

[Going to approach the clone! Hey there, buddy, hope you don't mind Ignis getting all up in there to put his hand on your arm.

He begins to drain energy from the clone, a mark that looks like frostbite beginning to form under his fingers. The clone also will start looking tired and faint, though he doesn't drain enough to cause it to pass out.]

[...wait a sec.]

We have a fork with sludge residue on it as well, do we not?

Oh, I used a fork to pull sludge out of the bucket. I did not want to put my hand in there for obvious reasons.

Good call. That nasty shit mighta eaten right through your skin. Eugh.

I did not know how dangerous these things truly were, but I would think anything that smelled that bad wasn’t worth treating lightly.

Ah. Thank you for the clarification. And yes, I certainly do not blame you. It was absolutely disgusting to clean up the mess that I created on my floor during my experimentation.
