MOCK TRIAL WEEK

[Constantine Kermit the Frog has revealed his true motives for bringing you all here. What was once a warm and welcoming house has now become your prison, encased in five feet of snow. If it's any comfort, be glad that the heater and electricity still seem to be working. For now. Perhaps searching for an escape route would be in your best interests.

Let's just hope no one gets stir crazy and tries to kill someone else, hm?]


[MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY]


((ooc: this is the week log for the mock trial! tuesday-onwards is locked until the motive is posted. on friday, an investigation log will be posted, and a trial will commence on saturday (in-game friday). backtagging is encouraged! have fun!))
its_not_fair: (It's not fair!)

[Sarah is following Jareth curious about what's up in the attic, as well, so she's happened to find her way up her and oh look there's Jareth! What a coincidence.

She walks up behind him, not even trying to be sneaky]


What did you find?

[Her eyes get wide when she sees what's in his hand]

That's... [They get even wider and she gasps when she sees the shelf] Is that me?! And... the worm?
its_not_fair: (That doesn't look right)

[personal profile] its_not_fair 2018-04-30 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[She jumps, gasping in surprise.]

Don't do that! [She glares at him for a moment] You almost scared me half to death.

[With another disapproving look, she holds up the shirt and the gun] These. The shirt's my size, too. [Which wouldn't be odd, except she's a human in a bear's house.../ Why would Emily have a shirt this size in here? Let alone this weird gun thing.
asksforsolittle: (makes no sense to fall)

r u d e there could be a pun there but let's keep it pg

[personal profile] asksforsolittle 2018-04-30 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. And the chef, and the author, too.

[he steps aside so she can see]

Curious, aren't they? Ever seen anything like them?
its_not_fair: (Huh?)

GUTTER BRAIN

[personal profile] its_not_fair 2018-04-30 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[She shakes her head, gingerly reaching out to pick up her figure... that happens to be wearing the same exact outfit she is.]

No. And I'd definitely remember someone making a doll of me. This doesn't look hand made. It's made of plastic!
asksforsolittle: (basis for comparison)

[personal profile] asksforsolittle 2018-04-30 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, we can't have that, all things considered. How shall I not scare you, in the future?

[the shirt's easy enough to explain] Well, it is a reunion. Perhaps she meant it as a present, and was unable to wrap it before ... whatever caused her absence here.

[he's not naive enough to think she got stuck in the snow, but he's not about to outright tell Sarah he thinks someone murdered her, either. not just yet. she's edgy enough]

As for ... that odd thing. I'm not sure. What's a gun?
its_not_fair: (Determined)

[personal profile] its_not_fair 2018-04-30 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Then you should know all this stuff about me already. So, you tell me: What's my motivation?

[She crosses her arm like the petulant teenager she is]
asksforsolittle: (wasn't too much fun at all)

[personal profile] asksforsolittle 2018-04-30 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Plastic.

[he flashes her a tiny, knowing smile. You Know Who would have loved these]

Charming as they might look, I don't think I care for them. Something's not right.
its_not_fair: (Seriously?)

[personal profile] its_not_fair 2018-04-30 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe don't sneak up on me like that. You walk so quietly!

[But there are more important things to worry about] Maybe... it's odd that there's only one. Have you found any other gifts?

[she does smile a little when he asks about the gun. it's easy to forget that he doesn't know everything.]

It's a weapon. kind of like a cannon small enough to hold in your hand.
its_not_fair: (Huh?)

[personal profile] its_not_fair 2018-05-01 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
[She's picking up what you're putting down. She smiles a little, remembering how excited Hoggle had gotten about her plastic bracelet.]

Not right? You mean other than the fact that they exist?
asksforsolittle: (basis for comparison)

[personal profile] asksforsolittle 2018-05-01 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
But if I announce myself, who's to say I won't scare you then, as well, mm?

[he smiles, so she'll know he's teasing, but scoffs when she explains what a gun is]

How would a cannonball that size do any damage? I couldn't knock a fairy over with something like that.
its_not_fair: (You have no power over me)

[personal profile] its_not_fair 2018-05-01 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
[He's about testing the limits of her knowledge of firearms...]

They go much faster than cannonballs, though. And some of them can shoot many bullets at once. In my world they kill a lot of people.
asksforsolittle: (you say that so often)

[personal profile] asksforsolittle 2018-05-01 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. Just ... take a moment and think. How did you feel, before you came in here? And how do you feel, now?

[he can't put his finger on exactly what it is, but it's an awful feeling, like the emotional version of thinking you see something out of the corner of your eye.]

It may be best if we leave these where I found them.
its_not_fair: (Seriously?)

[personal profile] its_not_fair 2018-05-01 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
[She frowns] You're right... I hadn't thought about it before you mentioned it but there is something. [She shudders and puts her little doll back where it was, next to the teeny worm.]

I'm perfectly happy leaving them alone.
asksforsolittle: (don't tell me truth hurts)

[personal profile] asksforsolittle 2018-05-01 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
[his eyes widen and he sweeps it off the shelf]

Then why are you leaving it there, where that frog could find it? We should hide it, so it can't be used.

[no one is allowed to shoot his Sarah okay]
its_not_fair: (Seriously?)

[personal profile] its_not_fair 2018-05-01 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
[She laughs, covering her mouth with her hand. Sorry, dude, she can't help it.]

Jareth... that one's just a toy. It can't hurt anyone.

[personal profile] tobeginwith 2018-05-01 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm.....

[He looks at the form for several long seconds, and then at Jareth, silently considering the matter for quite a while before answering.]

Nope. I wouldn't think that at all.

[personal profile] tobeginwith 2018-05-01 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
[coward]

How am I supposed to figure out your place in this story if I don't know your motivations? Your history? Your ability to carry forth the narrative solely by talking to yourself?
tobeginwith: (11)

[personal profile] tobeginwith 2018-05-01 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Why, to get out of here, of course. Didn't you say that should be everyone's motivation?

[Is he cheating by grabbing at the only hint he's got? ...Perhaps.]

[personal profile] willheorwonthekins 2018-05-01 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
I want... to get more people to drink Wilkins Coffee™!
its_not_fair: (It's not fair!)

[personal profile] its_not_fair 2018-05-01 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Hey! You're just saying that because I said that earlier. That's not fair!

[cheater!]
tobeginwith: (02)

[personal profile] tobeginwith 2018-05-01 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe you shouldn't reveal your deep motivations in the first act of the story.
tobeginwith: (08)

[personal profile] tobeginwith 2018-05-01 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
See, now that's a motivation I can get behind. Much more potential.

[On the form he crosses out the previous motivation and instead writes 'CONVERT EVERY OTHER CHARACTER TO THE WILKINS COFFEE™ HIVEMIND'.]

[personal profile] tobeginwith 2018-05-01 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Not a problem, my good sir. But, you know, if you're ever in the market for a different devilishly handsome and wildly talented author to torture, I'm available.

[;)]
its_not_fair: (You have no power over me)

[personal profile] its_not_fair 2018-05-01 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
[She's got him, now! She holds out a finger]

That's a motivation, but that doesn't make it my deepest motivation.

[Geez, spending time in the labyrinth among all those puzzling creatures has made her able to speak crazy. That can't be good]
