MOCK TRIAL WEEK

[themuppeteers]

[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!))

If you're the author of this story, shouldn't you already know all of this? [She waves the piece of paper at him] Maybe you're a character, like you've decided the rest of us are.

[Well his notes weren't wrong. Just ask Jareth.]

[tobeginwith]

You-- well, I-- it's-- don't be ridiculous. Authors can't be characters. That's a self-insert and I never write self-inserts.

[But... you know, between her and what Kermit said yesterday he's... kind of starting to wonder... but he can't let it get to him.]

[its_not_fair]

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]

[tobeginwith]

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.]

[its_not_fair]

Hey! You're just saying that because I said that earlier. That's not fair!

[cheater!]

[tobeginwith]

Maybe you shouldn't reveal your deep motivations in the first act of the story.

[its_not_fair]

[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]

[tobeginwith]

[Hm. She's got a point there.]

Yeah, well, sometimes it takes time to figure out a characters real motivation. Great authors need time to work, you know! But give me until the rising action and I'll have it all figured out.

[its_not_fair]

Uh-huh. [she's still skeptical. She holds out the blank paper] Well, when you figure it out, be sure to let me know.
