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!]

I don't know. I don't suppose anyone would own up to having a pair, would they?

[raventhaw]

May as well ask about who owns glow sticks, too.

[notbymyside]

I will admit that I got some, but I haven't exactly been hoarding them. I'm pretty certain Rean and Dazai-kun got them, and I left them out in the open most of the time so anyone could have taken some.

[raventhaw]

I see. So any one of us could have had a source of light for this.

[psychophant]

[gods, he hates that he has to ask this—]

What... is a glow stick. Would it light up enough of the room to make an accurate shot?

[raventhaw]

It's quite literally a stick that glows.

[ IDK WHAT ELSE TO TELL YOU IAGO!! ]

But I doubt it'd give one enough light to get a clean shot. Night vision goggles or something along those lines would have been more useful, I'd assume.

[psychophant]

[THANKS, HE HATES IT]

I see. So that doesn't help us much.

[notbymyside]

Actually that is a valid question, and I think it might not be? In darkness they give off enough light to not trip and fall over anything, but you can't read books by their light.

[psychophant]

We can likely rule those out, then. Not that it seems to help much.

[notbymyside]

Plus they can't be turned 'off', so if they were used they would have to be disposed of in some way that prevents them from being found.

[inordertobelieve]

I don't own glow sticks, but I do own a gas lamp.

[raventhaw]

You were also looking into constructing bullets this week, weren't you?

[inordertobelieve]

I was, but that ended up being pointless. I received a gun from one of the strange miniature manifestations this week. It was fully loaded.

[raventhaw]

Well then, thank you for clearing that up.
