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!]

[where is the background music coming from??]

Dickens, let’s begin!
DID YOU KILL THAT CHICKEN?

[tobeginwith]

Did I?

Why do you think I would? She was my love interest. If I was going to kill anyone then, narratively speaking, it would've made more sense for it to be Boober. I've been hinting about the fact that I want him to be the murder victim all week.

[biggerbadge]

You said that she was your love interest
But you’d also think that ”a great plot twist!”

[tobeginwith]

...You've got me there!

[biggerbadge]

So you confess to what you’ve done?
A Bitchin’-Chicken-Kitchen-Hit-And-Run?

[tobeginwith]

You can't say that, our show's rated G. Between you and Lew how are we ever going to hope to air this on national television?

[biggerbadge]

Monsieur, I know you did the crime!

...Thank you, Dickens, no more questions!

[as someone who carried most of the musical numbers back home, he's got this]

It's called pressing, I believe:
He thinks you've something up your sleeve.
So prove us wrong, without a doubt:
If you know this tale, point the culprit out!

[tobeginwith]

The two of you can rhyme at me all you want, but I'm not just going to give away every twist in the story like that. Besides, I had like forty pages of notes on this whole scenario. How am I suppose to know which plot line is the accurate one?

[biggerbadge]

So you don’t want to see justice served?
Why, I find that quite absurd!
Help us get to the bottom of this
If you want to avenge your miss!

[tobeginwith]

Me? Avenge her? I'm just the narrator. That seems more like a job for the main characters.

[asksforsolittle]

It's not about revenge, you twat,
Toss out this focus on the plot!
We've got to find the true killer,
And end this thread that's mostly filler.

[Is it time for songs? Boober knows about spontaneous musical numbers! He points at Dickens' hat.]


And you can't do any of that,
without a hat!

... you are no longer allowed anywhere near me, strange author thing.

[And he thought they were allies!]
