[Fin] Murder U Too - Endgame

[wahoothis]

"Well, someone has to stop her before she accidentally blows herself or someone else up. And unfortunately, it'll probably be me. . ." He says unenthused, walking into the kitchen.

>Check the drinks to see if they've been restocked.

[Kennifer]

"I... guess somebody should go see what happened, huh?"

Alexis didn't sound eager to be the one to do so.

[wahoothis]

After a few awkward seconds, Ranma bit his lip. "God damn it Kellensea. . ."

>Begrudgingly run off to the source of the explosion.

[wingedcatgirl]

>Check the drinks to see if they've been restocked. [Ranma]
The vending machine is once again full of NRG drinks and the fridge is full of bottled water. And then Ranma notices the explosion and runs off.

[Huney]

"HUH?! KELLENSEA!!"

Komaru >darts off with Ranma, close behind.

[Florien]

Kellensea clambers out of a vent, her outermost coat of armor smoldering, some of the internal metal plates showing through smoking holes in the leather. Her scarf is a bit burned, and one lens of her goggles is cracked. She starts shouting.

Okay, so update on the drugs and explosions situation. Not only am I not trained in alchemy, I am actively terrible at it apparently! Also, I can't hear shit right now, so you're going to have to speak the fuck up if you want me to hear you. The ringing should go away eventually. Probably.

Her voice is somehow even more tinny in that helmet when she's shouting. Hopefully, for the sake of everyone's ears, the ringing goes away eventually.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Ronnie suddenly appears out of nowhere.

I blacked out yesterday night and this explosion woke me up. What's going on here?

[wahoothis]

After failing to punch down the door I assume, Ranma runs back in the kitchen. "I couldn't get the door open-" Once he sees Kellensea, he clenched his fists. "Can you stop trying to get people killed?!" He yelled in annoyance holding up his fists, which were a bit scruffed up from punching the door repeatedly. "Also the hell did you block the door with??"

Monika is completely dumbfounded by the recent events that transpire in front of her... But especially the explosion.

Why would you... Nevermind.

Monika has officially given up on trying to parse this madness... For now.

[Caret]

The explosion finally makes Bow emerge from her room.

Good morning... I must have overslept, huh?

Despite the lack of any murders last night, she decides to >check out the admin logs for fun

[Kennifer]

Alexis is going to need another notepad, and no, it's not because she wants to politely write down notes for Kellensea instead of shouting things because she's got no desire to talk to the adventurer at all right now. No, it's because most of the first one is filled up, and it's only the third day of this madness.

>Go find another notepad.

[Florien]

Kellensea stares at Ranma for a moment, then:

Sorry could you repeat that? I still can't hear shit!

After several iterations of repetition and yelling back, eventually Kellensea's temporary deafness fades.

Oh, yeah, I wasn't trying to kill anyone yet, just make explosives with which to maybe kill someone in the future. As for what I blocked the door with? I boarded it up. I took the desks apart and screwed a couple of the tops to the door frame. Make it difficult to get in, you know? Anyway. I should probably... I'm fairly sure these goggles regenerate, they are mildly enchanted. I doubt any of you have mind-control spells, so... I can afford a few hours without the lens.

Kellensea taps on the cracked lens, then reaches under her helmet and pokes the lens out. The "one eye visible" look does not do favors for her appearance. Now instead of looking like some kind of heavily armored menace to society, she looks like a heavily armored menace to society who's also probably plot relevant to a story arc.

[artsyGeek]

Haruka jumped at the explosion. "E.. Eh?! What the-"

> Check the source of the explosion

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> Also search source of explosion

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

I'm feeling like writing a madman's diary from all of this...

Monika proceeds to type on an imaginary keyboard in the air...

[Florien]

Kellensea laughs slightly at seeing people go to investigate the explosion she just walked away from. She shouts a warning after them.

DON'T TOUCH MY STUFF WHILE YOU'RE IN THERE!

That done, she settles down and begins scratching various insignias into the table with a dagger again.

Rosa is also sleeping during the whole reveal with Kellensea's action last night, clearly tired after having to stay up late to guard her room against any murderers. Unfortunately, her sleep since early morning gets interrupted when an explosion happens.

Waking up, she emerges from her room, looking slightly tired as she shouts, "what happened? Where is this explosion from?". She thinks that at least she is used to this feeling, considering what that incident did to her. However, while the sleep deprivation doesn't stop her much, she is still concerned about the explosion, even though it was a regular occurrence back in Chernobog. But this buidijbg is different from that city. She then heads to the source of the explosion.

> Check the source of the explosion

[Florien]

Okay, seriously, no. Stop. You're clearly all attempting to get into my room specifically to steal shit to frame me with later down the line at this point. I caused the explosion by mixing things together in such a way that they were supposed to explode when triggered, and then triggered the whole thing by mistake while testing it. It's NOT WORTH INVESTIGATING. And if you break that barricade, I'm disassembling your beds to rebuild it. I'm FINE, the explosion was an ACCIDENT, and you can stop worrying. Do I have to post no-entry signs all over the place?

Kellensea begins to sound extremely agitated.

[artsyGeek]

"..alright? I don't see why you need to be so angry about it. And, besides, you shouldn't assume the worst of others, y'know?"

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

All right! Calm down, Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Seriously, why all that armor? Aren't you afraid of it rusting?

[Huney]

...

Ya know, Komaru wonders how she got this far without wondering about that armor.

[Billy5545]

"I am with Haruka here. I just want o know where the explosion happened, and what caused it." Rosa says, without being aware of how Kellensea confessed about accidentally harming Kai and the other students by basically poisoning the water.

[Florien]

Haruka, that's the BEST case scenario. The BEST case scenario is that they're stealing shit to try to frame me with. You don't want to know what the worst case scenario is. Even I, experienced though I am, fear it.

Kellensea doesn't elaborate on "worst case". However, she does take time to snipe back at Ronnie.

If you're not wearing this much armor and as many magic items as you can at all times, you're either broke or a fool. Safety is paramount. And no, it doesn't rust. It's aluminum, reinforced with titanium bands. I know, "Wow Kellensea, Aluminum is so valuable how do you afford it ever", but it's worth it. Anyway, Zharzy, the mage from my first group, my favorite group, the one I spent most of my career with, you know? He tells me that it's all a big scam anyway, mithril is just generic brand aluminum/titanium, produced and extracted in the same way and all that. They just jack up the price for the kind they actually CALL aluminum with titanium. So anyway, I broke into a refining facility and carted off a full crate of the refined and processed stuff, and got a smith to make it for me... What, don't look at me like that, I payed them. So yeah, no, I don't have to worry too much about rust. Also, it holds enchantments pretty well, which is nice.

Then she turns to Rosa, and suddenly lets out a long, incoherent tirade consisting primarily of swearing. She regains her composure for a moment, then immediately starts yelling again.

I FUCKING TOLD YOU, IT HAPPENED IN THE OFFICE, I MIXED SOME CHEMICALS TO MAKE A BOMB TO KILL SOMEONE, BUT IT WENT OFF TOO EARLY AND BLEW UP MY OFFICE. I HAVEN'T MANAGED TO KILL ONE OF YOU THESE PAST FEW DAYS, AND FRANKLY, IT'S FUCKING OBNOXIOUS. SO STAY OUT OF MY LOOT PILE ROOM, AND FRAME ME WITH YOUR OWN SHIT. THAT SHIT IN THERE IS ALL I HAVE RIGHT NOW.

Kellensea calms down almost as abruptly as she started, sits back down again, and resumes carving up the table.

[Kennifer]

let's say Alexis has GOTTEN THAT NOTEPAD, and is now... writing more about Kellensea. They are not flattering, and yes some of them involve her talk of killing people.

[artsyGeek]

[Haruka has the face of concern on her face.]

"...what? No??????? Yes, some of us might hate you, but I doubt that they'd reach that levels of hatred towards you, Kel!"
