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.]

Red and Richard were an accident, weren't they?

I don't know, with all the hallucinations and stuff, I don't think the possibility of an accident is necessarily out of the question... maybe the killer panicked and is scared to die...

[ ... ]

...Or maybe I'm just hoping for too much.

[personal profile] 37773972 2020-08-01 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
They were, but Red was still involved. As opposed to someone finding Shilo dead, and trying to cover it up. Why would they even do that, if they weren't involved?

[He lets out a breath]

Either way, they're betting the rest of our lives.

Fear of dying? Panic? I don't know.

I just don't want to assume the worst automatically. Not when all of us weren't even in the best frame of mind.

...Again though, maybe I'm just being optimistic.

The Phantom said the sickness stopped when she died. Which means if they did this because of the sickness, then they had time to realize what they'd done.

...I don't blame anyone for being afraid to die, but I don't want to, either.

With... with the candles for each of us, I don't think this person really didn't intend to kill someone.

Because they're, they're prepared to kill all of us.

Sound enough logic.

[He still seems a little quiet, maybe distracted.]

Motivations have nothing to do with whether or not a trial occurs. Red did kill Richard.

What's with you lately?
inside_yourmind: (Past the point)

[personal profile] inside_yourmind 2020-08-01 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
What do you mean?
likemypicture: (release the bitches)

[personal profile] likemypicture 2020-08-01 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
You're weirder than usual.
inside_yourmind: (Are at an end)

[personal profile] inside_yourmind 2020-08-01 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
What do you mean by that?
holyspit: (pls stop talking)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-08-01 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
You're actually admitting you have feelings.
inside_yourmind: (What warm unspoken secrets)

[personal profile] inside_yourmind 2020-08-01 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I...said that Dr. Browning's logic was sound.

[what are you talking about]
holyspit: (rar)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-08-01 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but you actually sound upset about all this! Again! Because you know it's bad and that guy is probably just trying to trick you!
inside_yourmind: (Beyond the point of no return)

[personal profile] inside_yourmind 2020-08-01 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you going to waste trial time yelling at me again? Because it seems to me as though you've made very little progress.
holyspit: (YOU)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-08-01 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! I can multitask!

[He cannot.]

...She's got a point, you know.

You seem... affected. Again.

[ are you SAD yet mother fucker ]
inside_yourmind: (Default)

[personal profile] inside_yourmind 2020-08-01 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I am not affected.

[He said, affectedly.

...actually his tone is pretty flat.]
musacal: (14)

[personal profile] musacal 2020-08-01 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ sure jantom




also she's noting that tone ]


...If you say so.

That you're already a really weird guy, but you seem... [like henry would get, sometimes. it was never a good sign.]

Normally you're consistent. All, here I am, big scary mysterious above-it-all Mr. Mask, but... If there's something up, we should know, if it concerns us.
inside_yourmind: (Are at an end)

[personal profile] inside_yourmind 2020-08-01 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
There have been no further changes in the rules, or in the trial system. Please, continue with what you were doing.
likemypicture: (Keep it on the bone)

[She points at her eyes, then points at him, then back at her eyes with two fingers.]

Fine. After this.
