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.]

I'm speaking rhetorically! Guys, please, I wouldn't kill anyone!

I was saying if I did, and I was willing to sacrifice you all for it, then I'd lose Jeremy too. And I'm... I could never...

[Not when he'd admitted that to her.]

C-c-c-christine had nothing to do with this, she - she. Her plan was. Something else.

[You know, since their podiums are so close together-]

...She looks like she needs a hug, don't you think, Jeremy?

Why would I do that? That's the opposite of a good idea!
holyspit: (why this)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-08-01 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
...Jeremy, go hug Christine and try to make her feel better.

[Hm.]

What about you, Jeremy? What did you remember this week?
justmeheere: (i already know what it's like to)

[personal profile] justmeheere 2020-08-01 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Nothing, technically.
garbageface: (disgust)

[personal profile] garbageface 2020-08-01 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
What does that mean? Aren’t we all supposed to remember stuff?
justmeheere: (i think i felt inconsequential)

[personal profile] justmeheere 2020-08-01 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I explained this, like, weeks ago? I had most of my memories this entire time.

Most of them still means you could remember something. Not that it was bad, just...

.......... Brooke, uh. Caught me on the bleachers and it was. Awkward. But I already knew about that.
