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!))

[So the chaotic events of that morning may have thrown a bit of a wrench into Dickens' writing plans. No matter. He'll just use the rest of the morning to rework them.

Sometime in the early afternoon, after everything's settled down, you might notice a piece of paper hanging up in the entryway. On it is a list of names, followed by a list of character archetypes:
]

Kermit - The Villain
Darles Chickens (NOT ASSOCIATED WITH CHARLES DICKENS!!!) - The Hero
Camilla - ♥ The Love Interest ♥
Chef - The Martyr
Wilkins - The Mole
Boober - The Coward
Jareth - The Anti-hero
Sarah - The Revolutionary
Ditz - The Innocent
Lew - The Catalyst
Jean - The Investigator
Monty - The Rogue
Bunsen - The Analyst


[Weird.

You're free to marvel at the list and discuss it there, of course, but if you're looking for the author of the script, you're going to have to go to the bedrooms. Dickens is in his, though the door is wide open, and the entire room is covered from floor to ceiling in taped-up papers with words scrawled across them. He doesn't look up from his work, but he can probably hear you approach.]


If you're here about the cast list, no, I do not accept feedback. Good day.
its_not_fair: (Huh?)

[Sarah stood, gaping at the list]

Revolutionary?!
What is that supposed to mean?!

[She also wouldn't have called the chef a martyr. He was talking about world domination, after all. But she wasn't about to say that out loud]

asksforsolittle: (oh I do believe in you)

[personal profile] asksforsolittle 2018-05-01 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
It means you're a voice for change, dear Sarah. [he hasn't left her for long, save for perhaps to help take the Chef's remains out into the snow, or whatever was decided to be done. He's one of few big and strong enough to do it, after all]
its_not_fair: (My bear)

[personal profile] its_not_fair 2018-05-01 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[She huffs, crossing her arms and sulking]

Fat lot of good that does me, here. It's not like I can build a barricade or anything.

[She glances over her shoulder at him]

He called you an Anti-Hero.
asksforsolittle: (paint you mornings of gold)

[personal profile] asksforsolittle 2018-05-01 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, there's always the sofa.

[he quirks his eyebrows at her. oh, please do smile, dear]
its_not_fair: (Seriously?)

[personal profile] its_not_fair 2018-05-01 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay, that does bring a slight smile to her lips]

It is a pretty big sofa.
asksforsolittle: (no one can blame you)

[personal profile] asksforsolittle 2018-05-01 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
And the boxes in the attic. [he lowers his voice. if they're planning survival, it may be best to not be overheard]
its_not_fair: (Huh?)

[personal profile] its_not_fair 2018-05-01 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, he's being serious! She lowers her voice, too, looking up at him]

there are boxes in the basement, too.

Perhaps searching them isn't a bad idea. We may find something useful.
its_not_fair: (Everything's dancing)

[personal profile] its_not_fair 2018-05-04 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods]

Good idea. I've been down there, but I didn't go rummaging through Emily's things.
asksforsolittle: (basis for comparison)

[personal profile] asksforsolittle 2018-05-05 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
Given our ... host ... [he says it with plain distaste] ... they may not all be her things.
its_not_fair: (WTF)

[personal profile] its_not_fair 2018-05-05 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Her eyes widen]

What do you mean? This is her house, isn't it?
asksforsolittle: (you say that so often)

[personal profile] asksforsolittle 2018-05-05 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
No, no, I -

[he waves his hand]

When I said host, I meant the frog. Some of it may be his.
couldvebeenasurgeon: (:?)

[personal profile] couldvebeenasurgeon 2018-05-01 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
The Rogue?

[He thinks of some kind of dashing, zorro kind of man. Which is quite a step up from the lumpy, moss-like approximation of a man that he is.]

You flatter me.

[;)]
asksforsolittle: (nothing ever hurts again)

[personal profile] asksforsolittle 2018-05-01 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
It is a fine role. You made some lovely remarks at the memorial.
couldvebeenasurgeon: (pawbs)

[personal profile] couldvebeenasurgeon 2018-05-01 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you.

[He sounds very proud. He hadn't put much effort into it- so he must be a natural, surely.]

So is yours! Anti-hero, how grand and suitable.
asksforsolittle: (paint you mornings of gold)

[personal profile] asksforsolittle 2018-05-04 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[his ego needs that, with all these confusing emotions he's been bombarded with lately]

Why thank you. I admit I'm not quite sure what it means, but it sounds dashing.

[he strikes a little pose]

Have you seen that despicable gremlin about yet?
couldvebeenasurgeon: (:/)

[personal profile] couldvebeenasurgeon 2018-05-04 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
It sure sounds it.

[He gives it a thought.]

The blue nose guy? I can't say I have.
asksforsolittle: (nothing ever hurts again)

[personal profile] asksforsolittle 2018-05-05 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[he laughs] Him, too: but I meant the one who killed our chef. It seems good to know where he's at.
sockluck: (clap)

[personal profile] sockluck 2018-05-02 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, it's pretty nice not being called a mole for once. Boober nods, taking in the list.]

So, I'm the coward, huh? Well, that's...

Absolutely true!

[It's not even an insult at this point. If anything, he's proud to be a coward - no, the coward!]
its_not_fair: (Seriously?)

[personal profile] its_not_fair 2018-05-02 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well... okay. If he wants to own it, more power to him. It's a great method of self preservation. It also makes her think about Hoggle lamenting that HE was a coward. Sarah pats him on the shoulder]

One of the bravest people I've ever known was a coward.
