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!]

For the sake of being thorough, this sword [ gestures to the one that isn't red ] is also equipped with a gun. It's not loaded, though, and hasn't been since I received it.

[baitless]

...is that... typical?

[raventhaw]

On Remnant? Yes. But it doesn't sound like that's the case for regular earth dwellers.

Typically the gun would be loaded, though, if that's what you're asking about.

[baitless]

...but why, though. In theory, I can see the appeal of combining a close range and a short range weapon, but in practice, I can't imagine the combination hindering both functions...

[raventhaw]

The biggest hindrance is having to switch between forms. It usually takes a second for the blade to switch into its gun form and vice-versa. That's part of our training, though -- knowing when to use both and how to time the switch correctly.

[baitless]

Oh, I see. I thought it was both at the same time, but if it switches between one and the other, it makes more sense to me.

[raventhaw]

Well...I suppose it just depends on the weapon in question. Some people don't need to switch while others do. It's...complicated.

[deadlygoals]

What kind of bullets does it take?

[ grabby for weapon ]

[raventhaw]

Small, round pellets. Nothing like the bullets that were used in this case.

[ no touchy. ]

[deadlygoals]

[ but touchy ]
