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!]

1/2

[twoasone]

[ He's wiping the sludge off his clothes... Considering...

... He turns to the lady.]

You know, I don't think these people really need the hint at this point...

2/2 You guys saw this coming.

[twoasone]

So perhaps I should take it myself.

[ There's plenty of spite in that grin he flashes to the audience.]

After all, it would be so sad to see my handiwork go to waste.

[deadlygoals]

[ And there we have it. ]

[baitless]

...Well, that clarifies just about everything. We are done here.

[moonfang]

So.

What power is it that you have that's so important fer you ta get back?

[twoasone]

Who said I was interested in the power itself?

I don't have any powers back home, and though the copy can be useful sometimes, what I said about my brother is true...

But I told you portraits were not my typical medium, didn't I?

[moonfang]

Tch. So you were gonna take a motive you didn't even need? Rude.

But please, do go on.

[twoasone]

I'm doing you a favor. Some of these people might obliterate us if they got their powers back...

But my true calling is the creation of furniture. Chairs, tables, dressers... The like. I've spoken to the Lady about this passion. She said I could, but it's very hard when you have no access to a workshop and Rembrandt destroying all the material.

[inordertobelieve]

[ He's been standing all through trial, but you know what, he's claiming one of those chairs now. This is too disgusting to bear. ]

[deadlygoals]

Let me guess... you killed your own brother and you use body parts, blood, or something else morbid as your medium.

[twoasone]

[His smile fades off at the mention...]

... We used to work on this art together, actually. One would come up with designs, the other would assemble the peices.

If it wasn't for that priest, he would still be alive.

[psychophant]

You didn't even have any interest in the incentive?

[That's probably the exact wrong thing to be mad about here, but guess what!!! He's mad anyway!!!]

Fine, just tell us why you killed them so we can move on already.

[twoasone]

If you must know...

[p_q]

Your struggles were unsightly, Shin.

[twoasone]

You're a clever lot. If it wasn't for the clone being so obvious, we could have gone on longer.

But I really was hoping you'd take the hint. I left an important observation about the lady there...

[notbymyside]

If it's your hint, can't you just tell us what is was anyway?

[pr159]

He probably just wants to be difficult now.

[drydrown]

Please, he's an artist, remember. He wants us to see the thing.

[it's probably some aesthetic thing, he would not be surprised.]

[p_q]

And you should have thought about that before you used the tool in plain sight.

[Says the one who basically blizzarded a good chunk of the city a couple days ago, but nobody said he had to not be a hypocrite. He is also maybe being a little bit spiteful at this point.]

I have no interest in that woman's hints. And if you left something there, it was because she allowed you to.

[pr159]

Wouldn't getting the hint just make us even more likely to vote for you?

[twoasone]

It would, and you all suspect me so! But what would she do with an experiment she must execute? Wouldn't you want to know?

[drydrown]

If he wants to mutilate himself, let him. He's going to die anyway, and it stands a chance of annoying our captors.

[deadlygoals]

I'm sure Lady will make the most of it if she does agree to use him.

[twoasone]

Annoying our captors, you say...

Well. If it forces the Lady's hand, then I'll be happy to help.

[reanbeans]

Do whatever you want.

[ Rean will not be sad to this sadsack go.

Anyway he has nothing else to say so he'll just tune it out for awhile ]
