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!]

Says the man with chicken peck marks on his hands!

[biggerbadge]

Are you implying that I eat chicken feed?

[willheorwonthekins]

Yes.

[biggerbadge]

Nobody asked you.

[willheorwonthekins]

uwu?

[muppetlabs]

How are you doing that with your mouth?

[muppetlabs]

Ladies and gentlemen, that's quite enough.

Mr. Jean, what do you wish for the most?

[hey where did this romantic table set up come from?]

[biggerbadge]

Are you attempting to seduce me, Doctor?

[sitting down at the table.]

[muppetlabs]

...maybe.

[please stop this man]

Well?

[flowersonthewall]

[muppetlabs]

[r e g r e t]

[biggerbadge]

Romantic.

[fine. he’ll bite.]

Nothing the frog could give me.

[muppetlabs]

Makes sense. After all, one would be pretty dumb to accept anything from a criminal.

[Pours wine for the both of them. What trial?]

[biggerbadge]

Of course.

[He takes a sip of the wine.]

You have the most alluring lack of eyes.

[muppetlabs]

Why, thank you. I've been told it's my most defining trait.

[Bunsen does a little toast before drinking.]

[biggerbadge]

Ah, doctor...

[he downs the glass, actually.]

I killed the chicken.

[Sarah has no idea what's going on and is actually very uncomfortable because lol 80s kid. But... Dude that worked?!]

Why?!

[biggerbadge]

It wasn’t a crime of passion, nor was it something I was planning on doing. I had been investigating that night, and came across her in the kitchen.

I came to the realization that someone had to die this week, if only to keep the frog satisfied, then perhaps we would let us go. So, I did what needed to be done. After all, it was just an animal.

[asksforsolittle]

You ought to know that nothing around here is just anything. Never take anything, or anyone for granted!

[biggerbadge]

There’s anthromorphic animals that walk and talk, but then there’s chickens who act like chickens.

You probably ate chicken this week. I’m just saying.

[shslmuppet]

[muffled voice from the vents]

Hey! I like to eat chicken feed too!

[mostwantedfrog]

GET BACK TO WORK, DESPAIR BOY.
