Welcome to the 69th Muppet Family Reunion! (Plus Extended Family)

[You received the invitation for the Muppet Family Reunion about a week ago. These reunions have become a routine thing for you and the extended Muppet Family. Whether it be by plane, car, cave tunnel, or magic, you made your way to Emily Bear's house and settled in for the night. Emily Bear was nowhere in sight to greet you, but, surely that's nothing to be worried about.

However, upon waking up, you'll find that a fierce blizzard has descended upon the house overnight--several feet of snow have piled up on the front porch, and, from the looks of it, the snow won't let up anytime soon. Not to mention the fact that Emily is still not here.

Something feels wrong, but you can't quite put your finger on it.

You may notice a small note pinned to the wall where you slept, which reads:]


COME TO LIVING ROOM AT NOON FOR IMPORTANT FAMILY MEETING :)

[Whatever this meeting is about, you have some time to explore the house and chat with the other people gathered here.]

(ooc: Welcome to the Muppet Murder Hour mock trial week! The host NPC will show up around 5 pm est. Until then, feel free to explore the house and interact with everyone else!)

[Jean Pierre thinks. It’s acutally a pretty deep thought. He has to think back to the year 2014. The date of March 21st, to be exact. March 21st, 2014. It was the key to unraveling all of this, and suddenly, it hits him.

His face grows livid.]

[He shoots straight up, revealing his badge.]

I know exactly who you are!

You are the leader of those very unfunny Muppets touring Europe! I never would’ve suspected you, not after that very fun little song we did about interrogating you and your acting troupe, but here we are!

[He huffs, he has this in the bag.]

But Mr. The Frog, you should’ve realized that frogs are a delicacy in France, and today Lady Justice herself shall consume you! For I, Jean Pierre Napoleon, officially place you under arrest!

There is no authority of law in a snowstorm- all things are legal when no one can see anything through blizzard. You cannot touch me with your police or your vore threatenings. I am the one in control here.

That is where you are wrong, frog! If I cannot arrest you as an agent of Interpol, then I shall perform a citizens’ arrest! Justice always finds a way to take care of those most capable of endangering her, even when she has no legal method of doing so!

[personal profile] mostwantedfrog 2018-04-29 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, but you are from France, not Americas. Therefore you cannot do the citizen's arresting, as you are not a citizen here yourself.

And, who is this lady Justice and why is she so intent on capturing me and also swallowing me whole? I do not appreciate that.

Lady Justice always vores those who dare to cross her, you horrible amphibian!

California Penal Code section 837 clearly does away with this term entirely, using instead “a private person’s arrest”! A private person as being capable of arrest, and whether or not I am a citizen of your country, I am a very private person, who shares his secrets with nobody! You are out of luck!
mostwantedfrog: (fahck you)

We are not in California! This lovely home is located either near New York City, or somewhere in North Dakota or Minnesota. The laws of California do not apply!

And, what if I know your secrets, hmm? Then you are no longer a private person!

You do not know my secrets, imitation-Yoda, and even so, blackmail wouldn’t work on me.

For you see, while New York’s laws are slightly more strict in that they require a felony be witnessed as per Penal Code 140.30, which authorizes a private person to arrest another for a felony when “the latter has in fact committed such felony” and you have most certainly committed several!

Oh, really?

[Constantine approaches Jean, reaches up and, somehow, despite the massive height difference, manages to whisper something in his ear. A Secret[tm]. Afterwards, he takes a few steps back.]

Are you sure you would not mind me telling that to the rest of us gathered here?

As for the crimes I may or may not have possibly, maybe committed... prove it.

[...a beat. turns.]

Everyone, the frog has just revealed the fact that I wear Elmo-themed boxer shorts! Now, he has played his hand, and I am once more a private person - which means I will be placing him under private person’s arrest!

Hm. Unfortunate.

But still. You have not proved I am a criminal.

[what the devil is an Elmo and what does that have to do with any of this? ... is everyone here an idiot?]
