MOCK TRIAL

[Perry the Platypus has died. There is no doubt about that. Those of you who were hoping that nobody would give in to the judge's demands have swiftly been proven wrong.

The students are hoarded to the studio lounge once again, where a large door has appeared, seemingly from nowhere. Inside, defying the laws of space and time, is an incredibly large room, bigger than any of the others. It's boring and brown, a perfect courtroom, and seems far more maintained than any of the other rooms.

Three very large framed portraits hang ominously over the whole proceedings. The first depicts an old mansion, decrepit and decaying, with an oddly purple tint. The second features a vintage building, tower-like in size and scope, against the backdrop of a bolt of lightning. The third...is considerably harder to make out. Namely, while a few bits of the picture appear to still hang there, it by-and-large seems to have been torn and clawed at by some very very big claws.

There is a circle of podiums, 27 to be exact, standing around a large bubbling pool of you-know-what. Be careful not to trip, kids. Each of these podiums bears a student's name, a small stool for sitting, and a screen and keyboard. You can guess what those are for, can't you? The podiums for our three minuscule friends come with stairs to reach the top of them, of course. 2 of the podiums stand empty, adorned with mini golden oscar statuettes depicting Edgar Balthazar and Perry the Platypus.]

Once everyone takes their places, Doom appears, sitting at a chair placed in front of the portraits. An ideal place to overlook these proceedings.]


The trial in the case of Perry the Platypus's death shall have very simple rules. You have accumulated enough evidence over the past hours and must now figure out who is responsible. When I call the vote, you shall type in the first and last name of the individual you hold responsible.

[His expression lights up just a little.]

Succeed in accumulating a correct majority vote, and you shall live while the culprit is punished. Should you fail to gather up a majority, or vote incorrectly...

Well. I suppose you'll find out.

[You have the evidence you need to piece this together, but can you apply it properly? Is there another way out of this situation? You'll just have to put your heads together and find out.]

(ooc: welcome to the mock trial! for those of you new to this, threadjacking and pointing out contradictions while contributing to the discussion is encouraged. if you have any questions, feel free to ask your mods!)

Possum's innocent, got it. [fingerguns

WHEN FACED WITH TRAUMA YOU JOKE AND DEADPAN, THAT'S SORT OF HOW SHE IS HANDLING THIS WHOLE THING]


Maybe... Perry was trying to look through the clothes. He could've been the one who made them all ruffled and wrinkled?
terribibble: (he has no will of his own)

[personal profile] terribibble 2017-05-13 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
That's probably a fair guess. It's like I said, we need to establish a timeline. So he was lookin' through things and he'd just found the suit when -- when he got surprised.
kindaruledatit: (Sorry dude)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2017-05-13 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Then... maybe the murderer showed up?
pinkflip: (it didn't slow me down)

[personal profile] pinkflip 2017-05-13 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
But then what about the trail from the soundstage? How's that fit in?
exclamationpoint: (don't care who's watching)

Maybe the murderer was really bloody and went to wash their hands?

[He would wash his hands, anyway.]
pinkflip: (so complicated‚ look how we all make it)

[personal profile] pinkflip 2017-05-13 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
...Oh, hey! D'you think they could've gotten all of it off their clothes? Maybe we should look for someone wearing something different, or...missing something they've been wearing all week? Most of you seem to be determined to wear the same outfit, after all.

I'm not wearing anything from here, that's for sure.
pinkflip: (Ms. No-Way-It's-All-Good)

[personal profile] pinkflip 2017-05-13 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Case and point.
pinkflip: (i can be mean when i wanna be)

[personal profile] pinkflip 2017-05-13 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Not a compliment.
pinkflip: (and it's a waste of my time)

[Sticks out her tongue like a mature teenager!!!]

[ STICKS OUT HIS RIGHT BA- no actually he just. Laughs at her a little. ]

Teenagers.
terribibble: (facial balance?)

[personal profile] terribibble 2017-05-13 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, well, look. His clothes are normal. Familiar. He didn't want to change into random stuff he found around, that felt weird.]

That's ... that's not a bad thought.
trashcubes: (put on your sunday clothes)

[personal profile] trashcubes 2017-05-13 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[... WALL-E isn't wearing any clothes and thus, simply gives Kimberly a head tilt in response to this.]
pinkflip: is an ice-cold beer (the only thing i should be drinking)

[oh my god she wants to adopt this robot]

Not you little guy. I think we all know you didn't do any of this.
kindaruledatit: (This is bogus)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2017-05-13 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean... doesn't it go from that dressing room to the costume room?
pinkflip: (not forget the rest of‚ rest of)

[personal profile] pinkflip 2017-05-13 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
...Oh, no, that makes sense. [duh] Starts in the costume room, goes to the dressing room... And the whoever who did it hid him in Edgar's room since...well, Edgar's not around to, uh...protest. Right?
kindaruledatit: (I always kind  of knew)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2017-05-13 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe!

[Thumbs up...!]
