"Gosh, you guys think it was Ms. Agatha? Surely not! I mean, she's a kind old lady... Sort of reminds me of a teacher! Jeez... I just can't picture her wanting to bring down the Candy King..."
"...But Undacouch law says that we have to listen to the voices of the majority! Ms. Agatha, I really do apologise, but in our Kingdom there are certain rules we have to uphold! And number one is that we have to keep everybody safe!"
Agatha quickly finds herself surrounded by guards. They place a blindfold over her eyes, before dragging her somewhere far away. She and the guards quickly go out of sight. Bob fidgets with his little lego claws.
"She was an old lady... Surely you won't make her serve her time like I did?"
"No matter your age, you have to own up if you've done something wrong. I feel bad too, but this really is the only way!"
Barbie brings an official Future Frankie® Guiltytector®® out of her pocket.
"Sorry, everybody! I had this from the beginning, but I wanted to see how honest you would all be... If this turns red, then it's a resounding success! Well, that does sound a bit backwards, now that I say it out loud!"
The machine is fired up.
Agatha von Brünswick, the tiny teacher-turned-scientist, was...
GUILTY.
"Excellent job, everyone! I'm so proud of you all! Now then, I'm afraid Agatha will have to face her punishment! One very fitting for the crimes she pulled today, I will say!"AGATHA VON BRÜNSWICK'S EXECUTION:
The Tin of Lies.
Agatha finds herself in a locked room. Her stomach rumbles. An annoyingly familiar voice plays from a speaker, hidden somewhere in the room.
"WELCOME, GRANDMA! I'VE DESIGNED A VERY SPECIAL, FUTURE FRANKIE® BRANDED PUNISHMENT, JUST FOR YOU! IN THIS ROOM, AS YOU CAN SEE, YOU'RE SURROUNDED BY BISCUIT TINS!"
Agatha examines her surroundings closely. Indeed, that assessment appears to be accurate. But what sort of "punishment" could they possibly provide her with...?
"ESCAPE IS SIMPLE, FOR SOMEONE OF YOUR MIND! SIMPLY FIND THE COO-KEY, HIDDEN WITHIN ONE OF THESE BOXES, AND YOU CAN WALK RIGHT OUT THE DOOR!
GOOD LUCK, AND HAVE FUN!"
The old woman scoffs as she approaches the first tin of many. She adjusts her glasses - it's a little dark in here, you see - staring down at, well, a biscuit tin. She takes the lid off quickly and without complaint, ready to sift through piles of cookies to find whatever appearance this "coo-key" takes. But as the lid comes off... She finds that there are no biscuits in the tin at all... No... Rather...
Sewing supplies... Oh, the humanity!
With desperation in her movements, Agatha checks each and every tin...
Sewing supplies...
Sewing supplies...
Marbles?
More... sewing... supplies...
She comes to the worst realisation of all. There were no cookies to begin with.
She's entered the Sewing Realm, from which she will never escape...
...
You all watch, shocked, as the same realisation pops into your heads one by one. Taokaka last, of course.
But then someone unimaginable appears. In front of you all, of course. No idea where Agatha is.
"Hohoho! It was certainly good that Frankie and I replaced the Battery Acid with Fake Acid! Why, that felt like a spa! Hoho, must have suffered a bit of heatstroke, though! I've been out for a while! Don't worry yourselves, friends! Agatha will be fine! She'll find the Coo-Key once she's calmed down a bit, and everything will be all neat and tidy again!"
"Candy King! You're alive! I'm... not really sure what to think of that actually! We learned a lot of things today, and... Hm... Well, there's a lot that we need to talk about!"
"Oh, cupcakes and cream! I'm in a right bit of trouble, aren't I?"
Thank you for playing this Mini Trial.
