antumbrac | FIFTH TRIAL

Trial V

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!]

It could also be possible he didn't think anyone would kill him because he was helping everyone out.

[ Again, why did someone kill our robot maker ]

They'd be stupid to target him. He was right in that assumption.

[NOT!! LIKE HE'S ANGRY!!!! OR ANYTHING!!!!!!!]

Who in their right mind would kill the most useful person here!?

[ Honestly just nodding along here. ]

[ That's what he wants to know tbh. ]

Let's just focus on what we do know. I'm assuming from his clothes he was working all night.

He was. He often kept late nights. I usually stayed out with him, but...

[Well, the one time he didn't, this happens!!!!]

Would you know if he had a weapon with him?

Yes, of course. He did receive a gun recently, and he brought it with him to the autoshop. For protection, of course, in case he needed it.

I don't think we found anything like that on him. So either the killer used Dist's gun or took his gun and swapped it for their own.

[ He will look over at Rideaux to confirm about nothing on Dist ]
