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!]

If we get it wrong you kill all of us? But... That's not fair!

[muppetlabs]

Alright folks, let's talk evidence.

[Bunsen adjusts his glasses and clears his throat, ready to present his gruesome findings.]

There was a blood trail leading from the kitchen to the dining room, where some heartless murderer left our dear fowl friend for dead.

Camilla's body was found decapitated, with her head lying not too far from the scene. In the same room was a knife, most likely the murder weapon.

Also included in the scene for some reason was a slightly damaged Funko pop of one of us: Sarah.

[sockluck]

You... what have you done to the tunnel?!

[Boober is shaking. Renovations aren't all that unusual in Fraggle Rock, but this - this is a perversion. He'd been so excited to see the hole cleared, but this wasn't home.]

You tried to make us kill each other, and now you do this? Disgusting.

[Anger is a rare feeling for Boober - usually he defaults to fear or annoyance. He takes a seat, unfamiliar in a familiar space, still shaking.]

...

Catherding!

[asksforsolittle]

[Jareth is getting tired of all this finger-pointing. it's worse than trying to get the goblins to agree on anything or actually be productive, and if they don't curb it by the end of the day, they're all going to be dead, whether it be by knife, lack of drinking Wilkins Coffee, or any other means]

So what do we actually know? Not just things that certain people are making up because they think they'd make a good story.

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.]

EXECUTION: NO MORE QUESTIONS. 1/2

[mostwantedfrog]

[Constantine grins, reading over the votes.]

Wonderful, wonderful. Where is your "defender of the law" shtick now? Ha! ... So now lies the matter of how to kill you.

[[plankton voice] i never thought i'd get this far]

Hm... let me think, let me think... I know!

[He pulls out... a can. Of Wilkins Coffee™.]

You see, I clearly had cunning plan in mind when I left little coffee demon alive. It is this. This is plan.

[He honestly just got the can so he could prevent Wilkins from killing him in his sleep.]

Ok, little frog. You want this? Then, go get him.

Destroy him.

[He gestures to Jean.

With a bloodcurdling shriek of delight, Wilkins leaps onto Jean's back, clawing his grimy muppet hands into Jean's skin. Wilkins begans scratching with wild abandon, tearing Jean's suit to tatters. He's a whirlwind of flailing limbs, but if you pay attention, there's definitely blood on his hands and splatter in the air...

And then...]
