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!]

Dazai was with me all last night. He wouldn't have had the chance.

[psychophant]

Are you certain he didn't leave at any point? Was it just the two of you?

[reanbeans]

He didn't leave at any point. My eyes were on him the entire time - we even went out patrolling together, side by side. Then we came back to his room to join up with the other two, as we normally do.

[psychophant]

When did the two of you go patrolling?

[reanbeans]

From 9:30 to 9:55pm...and we didn't see anything unusual, either.

[ ... ]

I can say for sure that I've been with Dazai the entire night. When we arrived, Seteh was in the room, and then...Ango was the last to arrive.

[psychophant]

Do you remember when exactly Ango arrived? Was it shortly before the Lady's announcement?

[baitless]

No, I was there as well. I can confirm he did not leave the room.

[psychophant]

...How exactly are you fitting that many people in one room? That seems incredibly uncomfortable.

[notbymyside]

Human-jenga.

[...wait. Iago's not from modern times.]

It's quite cramped and we have to sleep nearly on top of each other for it to work.

[psychophant]

[thank you for clarifying...]

Do you only do that on Thursday nights?

[baitless]

It is also a bit hard to sleep with all the shenanigans going on...

[deadlygoals]

I've removed the desk from my room and took apart my bed. I also took mattresses from the unused rooms to put on the floor.

[psychophant]

I suppose that works, but how do any of you get any sleep...

[Having Dist in the room was weird enough!!]

[bawcock]

Just in case, let's collect everyone's alibis now and see if anything lines up.

[raventhaw]

Neither Shiro or I left our room last night. He can confirm that.

[galrarm]

[ A nod. ]

Confirming that.

[pr159]

[ "our room"???? ]

[raventhaw]

[ it's not what you think it is rideaux i swear to god ]

[bawcock]

Just in case, do you remember what time it was when you met up?

[raventhaw]

I don't know. The clock was broken, but it must have been at least several hours before the murder happened.

We did both go out around the same time a little before the body announcement was made, though.

[bawcock]

Considering I went out too, I can't say much. By that time, I was supposed to be sleeping with Zangetsu in the arcade.

[ they fucked their alibis up didnt they ]

[drydrown]

As he stated earlier, Teru Mikami was in my room last night.

[inordertobelieve]

[ Nodding. ]

We went to sleep early and were both awoken by the Lady's announcement.

[bawcock]

Since this happened early, I might as well ask you guys too. Any idea what time you met up?

[inordertobelieve]

Several hours before the murder. Cumore sleeps early and I adjusted to his schedule for this.

[ is that a love language, who fucking knows. ]
