antumbrac | 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!]

...Since we're making this an argument of time now, would the lot of you mind if we borrowed the watch and checked it against one of our own?

[seeing as, you know, watches can be reset and nobody knows what goddamn time it is right now.]

I'd like to second that. [ hey it's kind of a pun-- ] Can we compare that watch to Mikami's and make sure that they show the same time -- that no one's watch was turned ahead or backward?

I don't really think this would be an issue if you were all awake after that point until the investigation anyway, for the record, since hopefully everyone could estimate what half an hour felt like, but I'd just like to make sure we're not missing something fundamental about the timeline.
