[Fin] Murder U Too - Endgame

[wahoothis]

"Oh my- I DON'T CARE ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT YOU'RE RIGHT OR WRONG! This isn't about you, or sticking it to you! This about whether or not Kai or Cookie Monster killed Doug! Either one of them could be the killer or innocent. That's the point: We don't know. I don't know what I'm doing, most of the people here don't know what they're doing. And most especially, you don't know what you're doing. This could be simple, this could a set up, this isn't about someone's ego in proving someone else wrong. I'm just. . .tired. Confused and tired. . . Tired of hearing you act like you care about Kai's life and using people's morals to get what you want. If you're right, you're right? What do you get out of it? A gold medal, a platinum trophy? You get nothing out of being right. So that's why. . ."

>With a deep breath, Ranma walks over and retracts his vote for Kai, voting Cookie Monster.

"I'm no longer doing this on the basis of whether or not you're wrong anymore. I'm doing this on my own terms. Cookie Monster, if you're the killer, please confess right now. We're done arguing, we're done fighting. This is your chance to come clean. The same goes for you Kai. If you are the killer, have some honor and confess already. Or whoever the hell is the killer. We're tired of going around in circles, we all are, including you. If you get away with this crime and be given the chance to leave, know this: You won't be leaving on two legs. That's my promise as a man to you. You have the choice: A hollow victory, or the chance to come clean. Do whatever the hell you want, I don't give a crap anymore. " Ranma says with a deadpan and dry look, looking dead serious on his promise of breaking the killer's leg. The martial artist took a deep hiss, the pain in his hands finally becoming too much for him to leave untreated. He turns and began walking away from the cafeteria to the Medbay to treat his injuries. If Kellensea says anything or have a silent smirk on her face, she's most likely going to see that Ranma isn't going to hear nor care whatever rebuttal or taunt she may have. His decision wasn't the result of what she wanted or said to him, it was the result of his own gut feeling telling him so now at the moment.

... I guess, if you refuse to vote, you can't end the trial? I tell Alexis, very confused indeed. If you deliberately drag this out forever, that might annoy me, but... if you're just indecisive, that's a you problem.

[Kennifer]

"I'm just indecisive, I guess. Hesitant, because of... a critical mistake I made once, based on... similar evidence. But if you're not going to do anything to me if I don't vote, I'll just... put it off, for now."

Alexis is trying to get the image of what had happened to Ranma the previous day out of her mind.

[Caret]

Bow meanwhile has been thinking about her vote against Kai.

I voted Kai because all the evidence presented just seems off for some reason... Hope I don't end up regretting it.

Bow then heads off to the kitchen to get a snack. A snack should hopefully help her take her mind off the investigation a bit.

>search kitchen for some berries

[Florien]

Something about Bow's statement sets Kellensea off.

Oh. "Off" for some reason. Bullshit. There's nothing wrong with any of the evidence, there's far too much of it to have all been planted. You ever seen someone go to such lengths and not screw up once? People are people. People fail. There would be, you know, evidence of that. So the evidence looks a little "off", whatever the fuck that means, and suddenly it's Kai for certain, is it? If the evidence is a little "off" to you, no idea what that FUCKING means, but whatever it means, you vote to skip, you don't vote for the first person who isn't the obvious perpetrator. If I may remind you, your whole foundation as to why KAI did this is that "He was seen in the same room as that big scawy Kellensea once." I don't see that as enough evidence to be trying to execute someone, if you care about getting the right person, which you apparently do. But sorry, I want specifics. What specifically about the evidence is enough to justify calling for an execution of someone who NO EVIDENCE AT ALL points to?!

Kellensea takes a breath, and then continues her tirade.

Now, if you're so cavalier with people's lives because of your fucking... fucking "oh i don't like the fucking mountain of evidence with no evidence for any fucking other interpretation", then CLEARLY you don't care about guilt or innocence, as you claim. You actually care about... oh, let me take a FUCKING GUESS here, KILLING SOMEONE WHO ISN'T THE OBVIOUS SUSPECT. You want it to be Kai, all of you, because that would be "So Fucking Smart", (trademarked) of you to see through all that "Obvious Deception", (also trademarked) but there is no deception. Isn't it suspicious that we saw EVERYONE ELSE who was out that night LONG after the murder took place, but no, not your fucking cookie monster, we didn't see that thing after the murder. ALMOST AS IF IT WENT TO BED RIGHT AFTER, BECAUSE IT HAD NOTHING LEFT TO DO THAT NIGHT!!! YOU BUY THIS MIDNIGHT SNACK BULLSHIT, AND THEN BUY INTO THIS ELABORATE FUCKING CONSPIRACY?! God. You're all so fucking gullible that you don't look at what's right in front of you. NO BERRIES FOR YOU YOU STUPID FUCKING FOX. IF I DON'T GET TO BE CAVALIER WITH PEOPLE'S LIVES WITHOUT JUDGEMENT, NEITHER DO YOU.

Kellensea dives in front of Bow and 

>attempts to block the way to the food.

[SmilyCube112]

Bakugo, after hearing all this, says: "You want me to fuckin' vote for someone? I'LL FUCKIN' DO IT!"

>Change vote to Kellensea

[artsyGeek]

Noticing Bakugo voting for Kellensea of all people, Haruka simply utters, ".....bitch, what."

"..dude. Just cuz she's.. not.. exactly sane, doesn't mean you get to vote her out like that. There's barely any evidence against her."

[Florien]

Kellensea, still attempting to block Bow from getting anywhere near the food, shouts back at hearing that event that Bakugo just voted for her.

You know what? That just proves my fucking point. You see this idiot? Not this stupid fox thing which isn't getting berries on my watch, the other one. The one who just voted for me. My god. Doesn't fucking look at the plethora of evidence, then says there isn't enough. HOW MUCH EVIDENCE IS ENOUGH?! You keep saying you're looking for the smoking pistol or whatever, but we've got SEVERAL OF THOSE! Most notably, the fuzz in the gloves. Now, you hate hearing this. All of you clearly do. But let me in no uncertain terms explain this to you again. If this doesn't get it through your heads, nothing will. THE GLOVES CLEARLY WERE NOT MEANT TO BE FOUND. They were found in the sewage disposal, which was backing up. That means they were FLUSHED. The flusher would have no way to know that the gloves would not only SURVIVE the flushing, but also get stuck and be extractable! Thus, there would be no reason to plant fake evidence in the gloves before flushing, would there? For all the flusher knew, the gloves were well and truly gone beyond retrieval! Now, that leaves the other two options: Ranma or I planted the fuzz in the gloves while handling them. Two points against Ranma there, Ranma's afraid of water apparently, and also didn't leave his room last night. Resultantly, Ranma would have NO REASON TO PUT FUZZ IN THE GLOVES. Now, on to me. I MOST ASSUREDLY would not help someone without personal gain, and I would gain NOTHING from planting fuzz in gloves. which, by the way, it is fully established I DON'T EVEN FIT INTO SO HOW THE FUCK COULD I DO THAT!? Hell, why would I have fuzz on my person with which to DO that in the first place!?

Kellensea stops. She says nothing for a solid minute. Dead silence.

Now do you understand? Now do you understand why there is no way in hell, no, NO WAY IN ANY DAMN PLANE the fuzz in those gloves was planted? Or will I have to go through it again and again, making tiny bits of purchase on your minds each time until you finally all give up and admit that I was fucking RIGHT?!

[SmilyCube112]

"Hey, you're the one fuckin' forgettin' that I have yet to SEE THE EVIDENCE proving your point, bitch, so why else am I still sayin' it's you?"

[artsyGeek]

"THEN SEE IT, YOU DIM-WIT! Did you think we hid it somewhere or some bullshit?!"

[Florien]

Kellensea looks utterly shocked at this statement. She's seemingly frozen by the sheer stupidity of this person.

But... but... you've seen the evidence. Are you fucking blind? You've seen the evidence as presented. The fuzz in the gloves, the string at the crime scene, the neck bruises matching my conclusion, etcetera. You know what, after I'm done blocking this stupid fox thing, I'm going to gouge out your eyes and consume them for nutrients, because clearly you're fucking blind already and don't need them.

[SmilyCube112]

Bakugo takes one look and sees that they were, indeed, telling the truth - He just hadn't noticed it yet, so says: "Then why did you put it where I couldn't see it at first?"

[wahoothis]

After bandaging his hands, Ranma'd walk back to the cafeteria and hear all this. "So aside from being a dick, you're also a dumbass. Got it." He said to Bakugo dryly, before sitting in the corner to meditate, wince he has nothing else to do and to try and calm down before he throws someone off the balcony. The question whether or not that person is someone else or Ranma himself. . . That has yet to be decided.

[Kennifer]

”As... unpleasant as I find her, I'd advise against voting for the adventurer. That goes against the point of trying to avoid killing innocents, which is... why this is taking so long. Now, if she snaps more than she already has and kills one of us, it'll be a different story.”

Alexis barely lifts her head to say this.

[madface7]

"Arrrrrr... This be really confusin', lads. But I have a strategy. We vote off one of the two. But- if we get the wrong person, one of us can kill whoever we're sure did it. And it's not too immoral to kill one of the killers, aye?"

[artsyGeek]

"..Sir, intentionally ending someone's life is always immoral, no matter the circumstances. There's gotta be a better way to do this, right?"

[Kennifer]

"And if we execute the wrong person, won't the killer go free, according to the rules of this fucked-up game? So nobody could just kill them tonight."

...finally, Alexis is writing in her notes again. Whether she's gotten a second wind or just wants to make notes of people who are having bad ideas, will remain to be seen.

[madface7]

"Well what're we doin' right now, boyo? We're about ta execute someone."

"And besides, I been in one 'a these games before. Eleven times, in fact. The pirates caught us, and forced us to play killin' games with each other. It was maddenin'." Mr. Krabs' left eye twitches. "You would never have lasted in the navy, lad."

[wahoothis]

". . . . ." Yeah, Ranma's having some difficulty meditating with all this noise.

[wingedcatgirl]

Kai - Krabs, Cookie Monster, Bow, Rosa
Kellensea - Bakugo

>search kitchen for some berries [Bow, 10]
>NO BERRIES FOR YOU [Kellensea, 6]
Bow deftly weaves between Kellensea's legs to nyoom into the fridge and grab a small container of berries that was apparently there.

>Change vote to Kellensea [Bakugo]
... Man. Are you paying any attention here? You want to start a brand-new wagon on Kellensea, go right ahead, but you'd damn well better make a case.

"And if we execute the wrong person, won't the killer go free, according to the rules of this fucked-up game?" [Alexis]
I grin viciously. They'll gain the ability to go free, I say. How well they use it is up to them. Well spotted, Krabs.

[SmilyCube112]

"Why are you calling the sea creature a dumbass?" Bakugo says, before FINALLY deciding to put his vote to good use, by >Switching and Locking his vote on Kai.

[wingedcatgirl]

Votes (7 to convict or skip)
Cookie Monster - Kellensea, Kai, Haruka, Ranma
Kai - Krabs, Cookie Monster, Bow, Rosa, Bakugo

[Florien]

Look, I don't like to inflict guilt by association, but come on. This Bakugo kid, noted to be a complete dumbass, has now voted for Kai. Clearly, looking at the evidence as only an idiot would makes you think Kai did it. Again, let me bring up that the gloves with the fuzz were clearly NOT MEANT TO BE FOUND?! Fucking Vels, just... AGH.

Kellensea begins bashing her armored head against the wall, her several layers of armor rattling. Then she throws up her hands, and sits back down.

I HOPE YOU CHOKE ON THOSE BERRIES YOU STUPID FOX THING.

[wahoothis]

Hearing Kellensea falling on her ass and yelling at Bow, Ranma couldn't stop himself from breaking composure in his meditation. He covered his mouth, trying his best not to laugh too loud. Yeah, he's not doing a good job on that.

[wingedcatgirl]

Komaru and Monika still haven't cast a vote, by the way. I glance at the glitchy ridiculousness around Monika and roll my eyes.
