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!]

Ugh... I bet that's what's in the Bitch's box this time, too.

It's that or the missing bullet case. Sheesh, if she's going to nab something, she could make it harder to figure out what it is.
moonfang: (you talk too much)

Hopefully we can figure it out without her damn box.
drydrown: those shoes with that dress though (EHHH ♡ now wait just a minute)

...At risk of asking an obvious question, why would someone bother either taking or concealing one of the bullet casings but not the other? I would think it would be because there's something telling about it, wouldn't that be right...?
bawcock: (♪ never meant to do those things to you)

Obvious or not, we probably should've talked about it sooner. I have no idea why they would or what it means.

Maybe someone who knows about guns can clue us in.

...I'd think the most obvious question is whether we're certain Dist wasn't shot with something else. We're all assuming that a certain gun did it due to the casing, aren't we?

Considering there was a bloody bullet in the wall that fit into the type of gun we all possess, I am struggling to think of an alternative weapon.

What do you suggest?

I don't have a suggestion. I don't use guns, and even if I did, they wouldn't be the sort that use bullets, so I actually am not sure how this works. The idea of taking one casing and not the other bothers me, however, especially if they didn't bother taking the gun.
