fourth trial
[When the investigation finishes, the lights begin to flicker on and off as that low, gentle rumble echoes through the opera house. Again for those investigating the grounds the outdoor lights illuminating the still night flicker to get their attention.
Your intermission is ending. Please return to your trial room.
The court room looks just as it did before: the grand chandelier glittering above your heads, the dusty red velvet seats. In the orchestra pit your circle of wooden podiums are waiting. Angus, Riley and Shilo's podiums are draped in black crepe with their greyscale funerary portraits, just like your friends before them. The ghost light glows softly behind the podiums.
The curtain is closed, waiting to open when a decision has been reached and the execution can commence.
When everyone is in their places, the Phantom's voice echoes loud and clear through the theatre from his place in box 5. He still sounds distracted, just as he was for his other public appearance this week, like there are other things weighing on his mind.]
You must now determine who was responsible for the death of Shilo Wallace. Submit your vote on the podiums when you are certain of your choice.
[Gather your evidence and let's begin.]

[What if they all misvote and yeet themselves at the Phantom. He looks around at everyone else, still not wanting to think any of them would be prepared to take the Phantom's deal so wholeheartedly at this point.]

The motive this week was more a threat than a bribe. Does anyone else have anything they can do, back home?

However. That stops short of turning back time and raising the dead, I am afraid.
no subject
But I don't know what happens, when the show ends. It's likely not a long-term solution.

I'm sorry.
