Third Trial

[stagemanagers]

[Once again, the sound of opening doors echoes through the opera house as the investigation draws to a close.

Time for your third trial.

The courtroom looks the same as ever, save that Darla and Eliza's podiums are now arranged in the same funerary fashion as the other deceased cast members. The lights from the bulbs standing in their places seem to cast the rest of the house even more in shadow, even as the crystal chandeliers still glitter dimly above. The Balladeer is hidden backstage once more, somewhere behind the red curtain drawn shut across the stage. Once everyone's taken their places, he speaks up.]

Alright. Let's do this.

[javert has been quiet pretty much since raoul went around crying about eliza being dead. eliza was his to protect and he'd failed, failed like he'd failed valjean and everyone else here and he was no good as the law

he has been very melancholy.

he is reaching, but he falls

anyway, he decides to put in a little effort.]

This was calculated. They had a lot of time to put the body in the chair and set it all up like that.

That's what I'm thinking - this is a really deliberate setup.

I guess the bigger question is whether the killer had time to setup both bodies, or if there were multiple killers
