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:

"If you don't make this trial go like I want it, every single person in this room is getting vivisected!"

It has been a couple hours and she's still furious. It doesn't seem like her mood is going to improve anytime soon...if ever. Behind her, Rembrandt doesn't seem very impressed with her gratuitous threat. At least she probably won't get to make good on that threat, hm?

Let the trial for the death of Dist the Rose 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!]

The killer could have turned off the flashlight when they were done.

[deadlygoals]

There is that as well. The gun was found a couple feet away from the body.

[bawcock]

What a crazy thing to do.

[notbymyside]

Is it? Once Dist was dead, the killer would have to worry about getting out without getting caught. Even if the sound of gunshots didn't alert anyone around the area, seeing a flashlight lighting up the dark room might have.

[bawcock]

I think so. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think my first instinct would be to flick off a flashlight before skedaddling.

[raventhaw]

Unless the flashlight was a ruse and the killer used something like night vision goggles or Lux to see in the dark.

[bawcock]

You know I'm the only one with Lux, right?

[raventhaw]

I'm just reiterating what was said earlier. Though forgive me, I seem to have left out glow sticks.

[ she sounds pretty dry when she says it. ]

[bawcock]

Oh, well, then by all means! That changes everything.

[ dry too!! he's just gonna hassle ango about this now tho ]
