*CLASS DEBATE START*
Princess: TIGER LILY DID NOTHING WRONG!
Espresso: Calm down! The trial literally just started!
Mint: Woah, what's happening?
Lilac: Basically, Tiger Lily killed Latte.
Tiger Lily: I'm sorry!
Princess: YOU DIDN'T DO IT!
Knight: Are we sure it was Tiger Lily? Like, 100% sure?
Parfait: Well she kinda confessed so... who else could it have been?
Knight: I dunno.
Blackberry: Perhaps we should ask a few more questions just to make sure.
Princess: IT WASN'T HER!
Mint: Perhaps you are acting out of... emotion?
Princess: I JUST RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT SHE'S MY SISTER! MY LONG LOST SISTER!
Pastry: That thing related to you? Wow.
Espresso: So... do we just skip to voting?
Raspberry:... I guess so.
Knight: Are we sure we aren't missing anything?
Parfait: Maybe. Hey, can anyone remember what kind of shape was stabbed into the light?
Jellykuma: I have pictures!
Lilac: Woah, you're actually being useful for once in your life.
Jellykuma: Hey- EH- WOAH! THAT WAS PERSONAL!
Lilac: Damn right it was. Now show us the pictures. Or I'll get your mother.
Jellykuma: ALRIGHT FINE!
(Jellykuma reveals a giant screen with a picture of the light.)
Pastry: Then... it wasn't Tiger Lily.
Espresso: What?!
Raspberry: It wasn't?!
Princess: REALLY?!
Knight: Huh?!
Lilac: Oh.
Blackberry: How not?
Parfait: WHAT?!
Mint: Eh?
Tiger Lily: H-Huh? I didn't... kill?
Pastry: Look at the dirt and leaves. Wouldn't they fall off it they were on the light? They've been stuck on with glue. And another thing, the shape of Tiger Lily's spear doesn't match the crack in the light.
Lilac: Oh. How in Earthbread did we miss such an important detail?
Espresso: Perhaps because it was in the dark, and Tiger Lily already confessed. So... maybe she hit the light... but she didn't commit the murder!
Pastry: That's what I've been thinking! Great work, Espresso-
Raspberry: Hold it!
Espresso: Hmm? A counter argument?
Raspberry: The argument that they were glued makes no sense whatsoever! Have you even seen her staff? There's frosting on it! Frosting from the tree it was made from!
(Raspberry threw a button at her staff, and it stuck on.) That's why they didn't fall!
Espresso: Oh? Well was there any frosting on the light?
Raspberry: Are you blind or something?!
Espresso: Not blind, just short sighted. Why?
Raspberry: Look at the picture! There's frosting on the light!
Espresso: (... Oh SHIT! I made a mistake in a trial, that's no good!)... Ahem. I believe I've made... a slight screw up. But why are you so furious?
Raspberry: Espresso, I am NOT dying because some idiot thinks Tiger Lily is innocent. If we vote wrong, we're all fucked! And plus, even if it wasn't Tiger Lily, how many people have frosting in glue bottles?! Lilac, you're smart, how many?!
Lilac: Parfait, Mint, Princess and Knight all have frosting. I've seen them all use them.
Parfait: W-What?! I only used it for some accessories! I'm a popstar, you know!
Mint: I had to repair my violin somehow!
Princess: WHAT?! YOU THINK I WOULD KILL LATTE AND BLAME MY DEAR SISTER?!
Knight: FOR FUCKS SAKE, THIS IS BULLSHIT!!!
(Everyone went silent.)
Knight: I THOUGHT THAT MY GOAL WAS TO PROTECT PRINCESS AND SURVIVE UNTIL THE END, BUT I'VE BEEN ACCUSED FOR TWO DIFFERENT FUCKING THINGS. I'VE HAD ENOUGH! IF YOU WANNA ACCUSE ME FOR EVERY SINGLE FUCKING THING, THEN SO BE IT! BUT I'M NOT PLAYING THIS FUCKING GAME ANYMORE!
(Knight jumped off his podium and started to walk out.)
Jellykuma: HEY! WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING?!
Knight: I'M LEAVING THE TRIAL! IF YOU TRY TO STOP ME, I'LL OBLITERATE YOU!
(SLAM!)
Jellykuma:... Oh fuck! He's pissed! I don't wanna die today, so I'll just let him go!
Lilac: How do you know he can do that?
Jellykuma: I ain't gonna challenge him for... really dumb reasons. Now can we hear some justifications? Parfait, start using off!
Parfait: C-Come on guys! I didn't do it! I just wanna make some accessories! I love to wear things!
Jellykuma: Mint?
Mint: I admit, I dropped my violin down the stairs. I had to fix it! And also.. I heard a piece of glass get stabbed.
Jellykuma: Oooh! Interesting! Princess?
Princess: I need to go check on Knight!
Jellykuma: No you don't! He's probably having a mental breakdown!
Princess: Well what exactly is supposed to stop me from leaving?! Huh?!
Jellykuma:... Ah, what fucking ever! I already know you didn't do it, so go find that simp!
Princess: Will do!
(Princess left.)
Espresso: So Knight didn't do it either. Hmm...
Lilac: Sorry to jump the guns here, but I think it could have been Blackberry.
Blackberry: Oh... why?
Lilac: What was that sword you were carrying yesterday? That really sharp one?
Blackberry: Merely just a family heirloom. There's a room full of them, if you didn't know.
Lilac: Which room?
Blackberry: The one by the main exit.
Lilac:... I see. I suppose I'll have to drop by. But anyways, do you have any proof that you didn't do it?
Blackberry: How closely did you inspect it? It was too heavy to carry. Also, I don't have icing in my room.
Lilac: Oh, I see. My apologies for accusing you.
Blackberry: It's fine. But somethings been a little weird since the start of the trial. Raspberry, why are you trying to get Tiger Lily killed? I thought your houses and kingdoms or whatever were friends.
Raspberry: She literally admitted it! Are you trying to tell me I should deny it like Princess did?
Blackberry: No, I'm saying that you showed barely any empathy for your soon-to-be executed friend. Also, your blow up against Espresso didn't make sense. Why would you lose your cool if you didn't do it?
Raspberry: Come on! Anyone would freak out! How are you blaming me when Parfait was worried?!
Parfait: Why are you throwing me under the bus?! What did I do?!
Raspberry: It's simple, you existed! And if you can't provide any further evidence then this was pointless!
Lilac: Your argument about the frosting was a bad statement.
Raspberry: Are you saying I was wrong?! (glares)
Lilac: Yes. You do realise I don't see everything, right? For all I know, we could all have frosting. I have frosting, but I wasn't going to throw myself into the hot seat. And the idea that frosting held up the leaves doesn't make sense because the frosting that we cookies use isn't as strong as you think. You'd need really hard icing to stick something onto an upside down hanging glass object for hours.
Raspberry:... And to think I called you smart! I didn't make a bad statement! And how do you know that it wasn't strong?! The entire investigation was in the dark!
Lilac: I can see really well. I have great vision. And most importantly, I know how these things work. Only a clueless individual would think frosting can hold up leaves on a hanging glass object for several hours. Frosting wouldn't affect glass. It would slide right off.
Raspberry: Then how the hell did they stay on?!
Lilac: Someone, which is definitely you, put hard icing onto the light. That would stick.
Raspberry: Well if you think you're such a smartass, then why the hell would I have such hard icing anyway?!
Lilac: To repair your blade. It's not invincible, you know.
Raspberry: How DARE you say such a thing about the scarlet blade?! What repairs could I possibly need to do?!
Lilac: When you were fencing with Knight and he hit too hard. The blade went flying away.
Espresso: Got her!
Lilac: Damn right I did.
Raspberry: YOU SON OF A BITCH!
Mint: Woah, the mood has greatly intensified!
Espresso: Oh, and another point, Raspberry! Why did you have a flashlight? And you said you had good eyesight. Did you know that we'd need one? And what happened to good eyesight?
Raspberry: OH, SHUT THE FUCK UP! I WAS IN THE KITCHEN AT 2 AM BECAUSE I HAD HEART BURN AND NEEDED WATER!
Espresso: That reminds me! Jellykuma, when was the murder?
Jellykuma: Oh, forgot about that! It was at 23:45!
Espresso: Nice case you got there.
Pastry: Wanna admit now?
Raspberry: I. DID. NOTHING.
Mint: Tiger Lily, do you remember anything?
Tiger Lily: Was walking into kitchen and I hit light when Raspberry and Latte were in kitchen. I heard noise from Latte, and I panic. I hit light/ Light did not turn off. Raspberry got a icing bottle, stood on table and paste leaf and dirt from staff. Then she tell me I did this. I not sure what, so I assumed she meant light. Then she make me stab light switch. Light turn off.
Espresso: So... Raspberry told you that you did it?
Tiger Lily: Yes!
Espresso: Hmm... that sounds believable. Unlike whatever crap Raspberry was talking.
Raspberry: OKAY, NOW YOU'RE JUST BEING A DICK!
Jellykuma: This shits been going on for ages so I'm just gonna skip to voting!

Jellykuma: And the correct answer issss... RASPBERRY! That was a very dramatic and amazing trial! Too bad Knight and Princess missed out... I guess I'll just show him- I mean them later!
Lilac: Wait, him?! Jellykuma, is Knight the mastermind?!
Jellykuma: Fucks sake, it was an error! I'm sick of you and him debating about the mastermind!
Lilac: And I'm sick of your annoying voice.
Everyone: OOOOOOOHHHHHH!
Jellykuma: YOU LIL BITCH! Ahem! I have a very jam curdling execution prepared for the Ultimate Sword-fighter! IIIIIITTT'SSSS PUNISHMENT TIIIIMMMEE!!!
—————————————————————————
Raspberry has been found guilty. Time for her punishment.
—————————————————————————
Espresso left the room, still absolutely shocked by the twist. He was so confused by everything. Why does Jellykuma keep making Knight and Lilac seem suspicious? What the hell happened to the consents? Why did Raspberry kill Latte? Why...
Why hadn't he died yet?
He was smart in trials, right? By that logic, wouldn't he be a main target?
Wow, this is really confusing...
