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!]

VOTING

[mostwantedfrog]

Aaaaanyway, this date [Gestures at Bunsen and Jean] is all very good and fine, but also it is time for you all to condemn your culprit to death.

Please, write down your votes on the papers in front of you.

[Сашка waddles up to each person to give them all a piece of notebook paper and a crayon. Look, your host's gotta work with what he has available.]

[its_not_fair]

[As if there's any question at this point. Sarah carefully writes JEAN on the paper and drops it in the hat.]

[mostwantedfrog]

[No hat, but Сашка gladly takes the paper.]

[its_not_fair]

[((That's what the mun gets for phone tagging before a movie))

She doesn't look happy at all about the situation. She may not have liked Jean very much, but he didn't deserve to die... ]

[Jareth isn't a detective. he isn't really very good at this. really he only kept up the interrogation because he loves a good musical number. he takes the only crayon in the box with glitter in it, and doodles in the edges, frowning. if only he had his powers, he'd know for sure. something about this, about that feeling in the attic, feels wrong. but Jean has already confessed. doesn't that make it finished? if it is, they can go. if it isn't, they're all dead. he looks around the room, considering it all. the feed. the blood. the figurines... and then he realizes that Jean would have been in the attic, too. maybe whatever that strange feeling was got to him in a different way. he takes a deep breath and slowly writes "Jonn" on his paper, then folds it in half]

[tobeginwith]

[Dickens, on the other hand, has absolutely no qualms about voting off Jean because good narrative twist or not he still murdered Dicken's love interest, the fuck]

JEAN

[willheorwonthekins]

[Wilkins has drawn a disturbingly realistic picture of Jean boiling alive in a cup of Wilkins Coffee™. He smiles.]

Here you go!
