MOCK TRIAL

[mostwantedfrog]

[Once the house has been thoroughly investigated, Constantine appears again, his pet penguin following close behind him.]

You have found all that you have needed? Excellent. Now, you must come with me to the basement--it is time for a trial.

[He hops away, and if you follow him into the basement, you'll notice that the boarded-up hole in the wall has been cleared away to reveal a winding tunnel. It's not very big--the humans might have to crawl in order to get in. Once you've gotten through the tunnel, you'll find yourself in a massive cave, filled with stalactites and stalagmites. Boober might recognize it. The rocks here have been haphazardly rearranged to resemble a circular trial room. Constantine himself jumps up onto a very high stack of rocks off to the side, staying out of harm's reach.]

Now, your job is to find whoever killed--eugh, what was her name--Carolina or something. The chicken. If you find out who did it and vote for them, the murderer will be destroyed, and you will all go free. But if you get it wrong, which I am fully expecting....

[Constantine chuckles to himself.]

I will destroy you all, and finally take my revenge on all you Mappets.

[He sits back a little, waiting for the discussion to start.]

[TRIAL START!]

Comments

[mostwantedfrog]

Fine, if you are so insistent on me proving I am not this Count man. I will prove I am Keermit the Frog.

[He backflips onto the ground, to give Jean a better view. There are, unfortunately, no eye tattoos on either of his ankles. Maybe he's just hiding it with some green make-up.]

Now, can I get back to plotting your demise?

[biggerbadge]

Oh. Yes, of course, Kermit.

[mostwantedfrog]

Thank you.

[He backflips right on back to his perch.]

[asksforsolittle]

I thought you said he was---

You know what, nevermind. Let's just find the bloody murderer.

[and then something clicks]

Whoever killed her would have gotten blood on them.

[tobeginwith]

Or they took a shower and changed clothes afterwards because they're a self-respecting individual who values being clean.

[biggerbadge]

I shower eight times a day.

[asksforsolittle]

That's .... excessive. But you make a point. That could - or rather, should - be any of us.

[biggerbadge]

I enjoy being clean.

[couldvebeenasurgeon]

[What's a shower]

[asksforsolittle]

[when they throw you in the big blue wet thing]

[Into the pond? Ponds are okay]
