"I have yet to decide. We'll see what my mood is by the end of the trial. But I do warn you, my patience is wearing thin."

"Everyone presented to you can be accused of the crime, but I would choose wisely who you wish to accuse. I will be punishing them for this crime."

"Indeed, a curse. There are a few of us here in Wonderland who have been cursed. Our darling Garden Hostesses is cursed to remain in her garden, and I am cursed to never be able to visit it..."

"Hmm~ Anyone could be a suspect, couldn't they...? But I would say... My friend the rabbit has been looking very jumpy~"



"Ehh... I hate to accuse anyone, come on..." He rubs the back of his neck, looking away, "But I mean, again... All this happened when these three showed up... Sorry buddy."



"I think.... Whoever is guilty committed the crime!" She laughs, wiggling her finger, "Whoever it was seems to be fluffy though!"



"Did what?"



"I... Liked the way that one guy was talking, I think it might be The Rabbit. But you guys are pretty convincing about That Knight too... Look more into that!"



"I begin to wonder, if this is all a ruse by the Queen herself to save face..."



"I do not know and I do not care."



"I think... Whoever it is better step forward immediately, or I will become impatient and start collecting more than one head."

@miss kitty: "The Garden Hostess is bound to her garden, she would be unable to attend. She could not be the culprit or a useful witness in this situation. The Caterpillar has begun metamorphosis and we would be unable to question him. The Duchess.... Hm." The Queen scowls, "Frankly, I just find her repugnant and did not want her in my castle."

The Cheshire Cat purred in amusement, "I have never one laid claw or paw on that sceptre. Or any other body part for that matter. No, I did not break it, and as fun as this fallout has been, it wouldn't be worth the trouble. I had no reason to break it."



"No way pal. I was just doing my job while helping out a friend."



"Heavens no!" The Hatter laughs, "This is the first time I've come close to the castle in a long time, and as you can see, I'm in no condition for fast travel! I'll stick to cracking difficult puzzles!"



"Humm... I don't know what a sepper is, so I don't think so."



"I'm telling you, I took it but I didn't break it! I would be honest with you if I did!"



The Card Knight laughs, "Oh how I would be tempted to. But I fear, if I did, what if our curse only worsened? I wouldn't want to pay the cost of that risk."



The March hare sighed, crossing his arms, "Don't be daft. You know I didn't do it."



"And why would I be holding this trial if I broke my own sceptre? Absurdity."

FREE QUESTIONING

You have an hour to question anyone in attendance today.

(Hint: For example, Flower Hostess is unable to leave her garden, so you couldn't question her)

INTERMISSION: 20 MINUTES

When we resume, I will allow a brief free-for-all bonus round to ask any witness you desire.

This will be limited time.

Then, we will vote.

ON THE STAND: SPARK



Spark was shoved into the stand, huffing and preening his feathers with his hands before looking up at his brother with a confused expression, “So was the mouse all the evidence you got me for? I don’t know that guy!”

“You’ll do well not to address the jury and address me instead, Knave, or I’ll behead you on the spot,” The Queen scowled, before shaking her head, “Speak, Knave. Confess to your theft!”

Spark shook his head, “Hey hey now for the last time! I didn’t steal anything alright?” He sighed, shaking his head in disbelief, before putting his hands on his hips, “I borrowed the thing okay? Sheesh, get it right guys!”

Instantly a loud murmur erupted from the audience, causing Static face to drain of colour, now worried for his brother’s life.

“Hey folks! Wait up! I’m not guilty of anything here! I was going to give the sceptre back, right? Safe and sound just like I left it! But I needed it to help my little sister!” he pointed out to Frizz, “Ever since we got here she’s been stuck like that! So I left her outside and followed the magic pull to the wand thing! It would have just taken 5 seconds but uhh… Well…” He hesitated, rubbing the back of his head with a laugh, “When I returned outside… She was gone. And she was more important to me than good manners you know so… I kind of forgot about the wand and left it on the ground to go look for her. After that it’s not on me!”
