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!]

[ Add Rideaux to the Tired As Fuck club. He's in a lime green dress shirt and black pants and has his hair up in kind of a messy ponytail. He tried, he just... kind of stopped trying halfway there. ]

I'll confirm his findings on the body. As for the time of death, I'd estimate about an hour at most. Livor mortis hadn't set in yet either, which I'd usually expect to see at least the beginnings of within an hour.

I did a check for any other wounds in case there was anything else that could have been missed while focusing on the gunshot wound, but there weren't any that I could see. He still had his gloves on, and his hands were clean underneath.

I'll also add that I saw him early in the evening when he came by the bar briefly, though that doesn't do much to narrow down the time frame.

Was he in the same clothes when you saw him?

[ Figuring his timeline would be good too tbh ]

[pr159]

He was, yes.

[deadlygoals]

So he probably spent most of his time in the auto shop then.

[ Since he wasn't bothering to be super fancy ]

[pr159]

That's my assumption. He was probably just stopping by on the way there, since that's where he seemed to be spending most of his time.
