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!]

[Well, look at that.]

Thank you, Teru Mikami. That's what I was thinking.

So, with that alibi no longer holding any weight... Ango. It certainly is looking likely that this was your doing. Care to share what you were doing out so late?

[He sounds remarkably calm given how worked up he's been all trial, but that is not a nice smile.]

[why do you think he brought the blade.

he doesn't trust iago to not go completely stupid on someone's ass and he wants to stop that shit before it starts.]


Iago. Breathe, if you will.

I'm not going to do anything. I just want to know who killed him. That's all.

[Doesn't mean he won't be aggressive in finding the killer, but he's staying put, don't worry. Please don't threaten him with that weird blade.]

[He's not threatening anybody, he's just got it here for insurance. As long as no one does anything dumb, it's staying right here.]

First off, I don't have a way to see in the dark. My power is Gravitas, and I demonstrated it for everyone a couple trials ago.

Secondly, I was speaking with Rembrandt. When our conversation was done, I went back to the dorms.

Seeing in the dark isn't necessary - weren't you discussing alternatives? The lamp or those night vision goggles.

But fine. If you want to hinge it all on Rembrandt, I'll ask him.

[personal profile] notbymyside 2020-02-08 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I have neither. I used the glowsticks to see in the dark, they provide enough light to get around without tripping over anything.

But yes, go ahead and ask him.

[so uh. results were... not helpful at all but fine!!!]

Rembrandt did confirm that the two of you spoke, but he couldn't confirm for how long. That doesn't help you any. There is one thing we haven't discussed at all, however: the motive.

[And then, to Rean, Seteth, and Dazai:] Did any of you notice Ango acting strangely at any point after the motive?

[personal profile] notbymyside 2020-02-08 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not going to deny that it was tempting, but the motive would only delay what's going to happen in my world anyway. I wouldn't kill over that alone.

At least you're honest, I suppose.

What did you and Rembrandt talk about?

[since rembrandt won't tell him these things!!!]
notbymyside: (10)

[personal profile] notbymyside 2020-02-08 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Welp.

Ango glances in the Lady's direction, and he's not quite as subtle about it as he usually is. Because if he did that then Iago might miss the implication entirely.

Art. We talked about art.

[Not a good lie at all, but he gets the meaning behind it and he'll leave it be. It isn't as though Rembrandt will confirm or deny and asking him would only complicate matters further if he did feel like being useful.

So he'll let it drop, but this is the equivalent of "points at eyes, points at Ango", okay!!]

[personal profile] notbymyside 2020-02-08 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's fine, they can talk about it after the trial. When the Lady isn't listening.]

[personal profile] psychophant 2020-02-08 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[if ango isn't guilty!!!!!!! points at eyes, points at ango!!!!!!!!

...if ango isn't guilty he might actually have to apologize, ugh.]
notbymyside: (23)

[personal profile] notbymyside 2020-02-08 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh come on, apologies aren't the worst thing in the world. Ango managed it just fine last week.]
