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 can confirm that for various reasons, Iago would have found his irrelevant. Whereas I spoke to you personally about mine and you know I don't care about it.

[inordertobelieve]

Yes, I believe you on that. Of course, belief and trust are very relative values and not absolutes in this place, but there's no other reason to suspect you either.

[drydrown]

...That said, I'm aware that you have reason to guard yours, and you're capable of using guns.

I've no interest in telling anyone anything about what we said. At least not at this point. But you aren't exactly exempt from this now that this is being brought into question.

[inordertobelieve]

[ There's a pause, then he nods. ]

You're correct. There is still ample reason I would not want my secret out in the open, even if the... imminent pressure is gone.

[drydrown]

I know I'm correct. And I'm not going to lie for you.

But then, if you have half the integrity you say you do, I doubt you would want me to lie for you in the first place.

[inordertobelieve]

I never had any doubt you would tell my secret if it benefit us. I appreciate this, even.

If you feel like you want to share it, go ahead. I could also do it myself, but it's... Well, you have heard it. It might be a little distracting from matters at hand.

[drydrown]

[...hmph.]

I'll keep it to myself for now, Teru Mikami. It would serve no purpose to do otherwise.

[inordertobelieve]

... thank you.
