first trial
[Within a few minutes of the performers is finishing their investigations, the lights in every room flicker on and off several times. For those in or close to the lobby, they hear a faint rumbling. The gilded doors across from the heavy wooden front doors (which have always been there, the showrunners may have gotten to indicate them on the map) have opened.
Your intermission is ending. The show is about to begin.
The space behind them is lit; you're free to enter. It's a very short hallway, decorated in the same way as the lobby with the light walls and red carpet. There is one more set of doors to pass through and then you're all, finally, in the House. There's one grand chandelier above, glittering crystal, and the seats around you are made of fine, if dust-caked, red velvet. Those don't seem to be for you though - all the way down in front of the stage, where the orchestra might sit, there's a circle of wooden podiums. They're arranged so that everyone can face each other and are fixed into place. Each one bears a metal plaque with a cast member's name engraved on it. There's also a metal panel on top, with twenty ivory buttons paired to everyone's name.
Among these, only Jonny's podium is different - that one is draped in black crepe, with a larger grey-scale version of his headshot from the playbill framed and sitting at on top like a funerary portrait. Standing where he might have stood, a bare light bulb glows faintly atop a metal pole.
Right here, you're very close to the stage. But the curtain is closed, and it's a little too high to easily clamber up. You may not want to try. You've got more important business right now, after all.
As everyone is finding their places, the Phantom's voice suddenly sounds loud and clear throughout the space. If anyone is to look up, however, they'll see the dark suited figure of him and the whiteness of his mask peering over the edge of box 5.]
You must now determine who was responsible for the death of Jonny D'Ville. Submit your vote on the podiums when you are certain of your choice.

Man he does not look pleased about this. He's snapping his jaw shut and looking very stormy.
Nothing to say right now though]

But... why?! What's to even gain from that?!

Why... h-how is that fair? Why should we be punished for not falling for your sick jokes?
no subject
Cool.
She's just going to sit down at her podium before she faints.]

mods?
How can we trust that you are not attempting to pit us against each other for a crime you committed?

[The Phantom rises from his seat, bringing both hands down on the railing of his box. His voice was already carrying remarkably well through the house, given how far away he is - now, when he raises it, he's loud.]
I assure you, I did not invent the format of these proceedings. If I had my way, we would not have this stupid, drawn-out display! [He seems to gather himself then, and continues after a moment at a normal volume.] But this is how it is going to be, and you are all wasting time by shouting about it.
