[Fin] Murder U Too - Endgame

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Ronnie throws cans of Monster (unopened cans, that is) at Kellensea. He keeps on throwing them and throwing them until he gets exhausted and falls to his knees.

All right. You want a confession? Fine. I was the one who killed Rosa. I was the one who injected the strychnine in her. And why? Because I was hoping to get rid of YOU for good , he says pointing to Kellensea. I have no idea how that poison came to her doorknob, so don't ask me about that. But originally, I was going to kill you, Alexis, with the strychnine. But you weren't in the room, so I had to think of something else. Then I ended up settling for Rosa. And I even left those gloves around and threw the syringe into your vent. Was it wrong of me to kill someone? Probably. But at least it's not as bad as what Kellensea is trying to do. I just merely used Rosa as a sacrificial lamb so you can vote for off and have her killed. I did it to save you all, so we can make it out of here alive. But no one I've ever met in my life, especially you people, appreciate everything I do for you all. I try to go out of my way to help people, but all they do is get mad at me and throw me away like I'm garbage. So yea, I killed Rosa. But at least I'm not actively trying to kill you all off like she is. Is it really that big of a deal? Send her out to die and we'd all be fine. But you keep her around and we'll all end up dead. So there, I fucking did it, you happy????

He sighs and stands back up.

Everyone hates me here anyway and I don't care what you all think of me. Have a trial, vote me off if you wish. Execute me. I don't care anymore. I don't want to be in this place anymore. But no matter what happens.... I really do hope all of you can make it out alive. Except Kellensea obviously. But that's besides the point.

[Kennifer]

"I have to ask... why me, specifically?"

Alexis was looking paler than usual.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

I don't know! Somebody had to die for my plan to have worked. Either you or someone else.... so...

[Florien]

Kellensea actually dodges a couple of the cans, but mostly ignores the rest bouncing off her.

Oh... you're justifying it to yourself. That's kind of sad actually. Come on, you had fun, right? You... Hahaha! You seriously... You thought I'd ever have ANYTHING... AHAHAHHAHHHHH! Oh fuck, sorry, this is too funny, can't say shit about this with a straight face. Alright, sweet, so no one will mind too much if I get to work. Also, I called it, you're a fucking Paladin. Right, let's get this together, I deal with this, I take his stuff, and again, I reiterate, if you really want me gone, you let me tear this idiot's limbs off and let me go free. I'll trust you to not execute me for it, if you agree. Hold him down while I start searching him for valuables, would you? Don't want any of them to get lost in his execution, should you decide to go that route, you know?

Kellensea steps towards Ronnie, awaiting the approval of others to go ahead with her plans.

[Kennifer]

"But you're not getting out of here, so your attempts against me were in vain. Didn't end so well for Rosa, but in your case? Once Ranma is stable, and that button is pressed? You'll have it coming."

Alexis was looking rather manic, despite her sleep deprivation and poor diet the past few days.

[Caret]

But... but... why would you think that killing innocent people would help us get rid of Kellensea? That does not help at all!

Bow is clearly displeased at the fact that somebody attempted to kill her friend.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Ronnie snorts at Alexis.

See? I knew you people would react like this? I have my death coming? Give me a break. I didn't particularly enjoy having to kill her. But at least I'm not making attempts on all your lives. I just went it, killed Rosa, and get out. That was all I did. I'm not putting poisons in medicine or doorknobs or whatever. Do you all like living in paranoia? I thought you would have understood, Alexis, seeing how we're both the most normal people here, but I was wrong about you. Execute me if you want. But if you let Kellensea live, she'll kill you all. And you won't have me to fight for you all anymore. I mean Ranma is a good martial artist, but after he licked that poison, I wouldn't have that much confidence in him, just saying. It is what it is I suppose. I just want justice. Kill me and let her live. Typical people. But the whole world is evil. Good people die all the time while the bad ones like her are allowed to walk the Earth without comeuppance.

[Kennifer]

"As much as I don't like Kellensea, I am not about to vote off someone who hasn't actually killed anyone. But if she rips your arms off and you bleed to death then yeah, she's fair game. Even if you had it coming. If she kills someone, then she will have had it coming, too. But why would I vote for her and let an admitted killer possibly walk free? That's just asinine. And you think I'm the one who's stupid. You didn't HAVE to kill anyone, you know."

[Florien]

Yeah, funny thing though Ronnie. For all your talk of cowardice, and how you had to do this, how I'm weak under this armor... You never came for me. If I was the reason you did this... why did you not come for me? Perhaps you did this more for yourself than you realize... just a thought, I suppose. Perhaps you're sane like me, and know that an adventurer actually is incredibly dangerous to take on. But nonetheless... you've failed. And it's almost adorable how hard you fell. Almost.

Kellensea just snorts at Alexis.

Oh, you're no fun.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Oh, is that how it work? Because she didn't actually kill anyone, it's OK to let her go off scot-free. By your logic, if someone came into your room and started firing a gun at you, but you still survived and they constantly try to kill you, you wouldn't vote them off? What if this were the World War II era and you and your family were one of the Jews running away from Hitler who did try to kill you. You wouldn't kill Hitler because he didn't actually succeed? That is one of the most asinine statements I've ever heard. And I thought you would understand reasoning and logic. But no. You're just as dim-witted and stupid as everyone else in this world.

[Kennifer]

"I don't care if I'm fun, at least not by her fucked up standards. And no, I don't want to condemn anyone else to death who hasn't killed anyone. I really don't care if that makes some asshole who tried to murder me think I'm stupid. I mean, forgive me if I don't value your opinions."

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Kellensea, I would have if you weren't so barricaded in everything and you hide in all this armor. And why? What do you have to hide from us? Show us what you really look like. And you Alexis, that makes perfect sense. Murder attempts are A-OK as long as they don't succeed, but if they do succeed, then they should be condemned. Are you even hear yourself talking right now???? Dealing with you is more painful than any upcoming death I could possibly suffer.

[Kennifer]

"I can only vote for one of you. I'd rather use that vote on the one who I know has spilled innocent blood, as well as actually made an attempt on MY LIFE. You're just freaking out because you know you're about to die."

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

You're fucking stupid, you know that? It's called preventive measures! She poisoned Kai and she tried to poison you. But as long as none of you die, then it's not a problem. You're like a politician. Imagine there was some dangerous substance in the water. We know it's deadly, but you would just let people drink it. Then take care of the problem when they do die. But hey, as long as there aren't any deaths, it's OK. You disappoint me. I thought you would have been a perfect wife for me. Someone who was smart and intelligent as I am and helped me complete my goals to make the world a better place. But no... you're just like everyone else. Stupid and ill-informed. And I'm not afraid to die. Do you want me to jump off the balcony right now? Because I will do it too!

[Kennifer]

"A perfect wife for you? Great, now I'm both pissed off and nauseated. I'm not going to hammer someone else and let a known killer potentially walk free. Nice try, though. Except not really, because whether you jump off the balcony or wait to see what our host has in store for you, you're fucking dead."

[Florien]

You know exactly what I look like, Ronnie. You've seen my face, when I was eating those sweeteners in front of everyone as a show of good faith or whatever. And I bet if you saw it again, you'd decry me as inhuman, like sacrificing what I did for what I gained was a bad thing. Something to be condemned. You'd use THAT to justify your hatred of me. But you don't deserve to see my face again. And as you walk into your grave, you make the mistake of CONFESSING TO EVERYONE, not just someone who you could trust? Vels, you wouldn't last a week as an adventurer. The irony here Ronnie, is that if you had touched that doorknob without the gloves and died... I might have been caught and executed. But you didn't. You HAD to deal with me in your bizarre way. And now I'm going to survive another day at least. Isn't that... funny? Your plan to get rid of me? If you hadn't done it, I would have been more at risk. Now. Seeing as Alexis would rather have someone else execute you... I'll just stand here all day, mocking you with my continued survival. Your execution will be a delight to attend. Unless you're going to go out all noble-like and jump from the balcony. Oh wait. You won't. Because you're sane. Like me.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

You don't understand what I'm doing nor do you want to understand. You just want to mock me because you think you're better than everyone. You all think you're all good righteous people who have all the answers. Newsflash! You all know nothing. I'm always right in what I do and you just don't want to comprehend anything. You're all too afraid to think! The world is a shitty place and you're all just content to wallow in it forever. You're all afraid to take charge and make things better. And you condemn those who do. Agh! I'm done with you idiots! I cannot make you see reason at all. I would have an easier time trying to convince a wall my viewpoint is the right viewpoint. And Kellensea. Mock me all you want. But everyone else is onto you. Even after I die, you will be taken down eventually. I promise you that. So don't gloat for too long.

[Kennifer]

"Oh my god, you're both fucking psychotic. I'm still going to vote for the one who's actually managed to kill someone, though."

[Florien]

You're 100% right Ronnie! They ARE onto me! You've solved my plan! Oh no, how will I EVER deal with it?! I will surely DIE with my cunning plan exposed! Oh Woe! Oh Sorrow!

Kellensea's extremely performative sarcasm is normally fueled by rage, spite, or bitterness. But this time is different. It's apparently fueled by, of all things, sheer JOY this time.

Ah, haven't had this much fun in years. This is great. Alexis, you're still no fun, but at least you're closer to sane than a lot of people.

[Caret]

Not to interrupt or anything, but how's Ranma doing?

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

I know you all hate me. And he probably will too if he recovers. But I still hope he pulls through

> Helps out with Ranma

[Huney]

Komaru watches as Ronnie comes in with a relieved smile. Apparently, as she's been in the medbay panicking out of her mind, she missed precisely all of that.

"Oh! Ronnie! Hey, I'd appreciate some help. Can't believe Ranma would do that..."

She looks preeeeetty destroyed, as one of her few friends here is holding onto his life by a thread.

"Any... Any help is appreciated. Thank you."

[Florien]

Kellensea then clanks into medbay, the crown on her helmet at an angle, having been caught on a rivet.

...Oh fuck, I should... You're a party member, I guess I'll help. What do you need to make Ranma not be dead? Wait fuck, I actually... yeah this might... No, fuck, laws prevent that. Hm. Okay, so according to magic rules... is that a perpetual cure spell, or... huh. How the fuck does... I should have studied theory more. Yeah I don't think it works that way. Scrolls, do I have... Look, I'm here to help if you need it, I guess.

>Stand by to assist.

Oh yeah, also, keep an eye on Ronnie, he's admitted he killed Rosa when pressed. Some elaborate scheme to frame me, I don't understand how the fuck it was supposed to work myself. So when it's time to vote, keep that in mind.

[Huney]

"Yeah! It's no problem, Kellensea." She sounds pretty chipper now, actually! More cooks in the kitchen! "Here, the computer printed out some instructions for us to follow, just follow along with this." Komaru says, handing Kellensea the instructions.

"If we just do what that says, Ranma should be just-"

She hears the entirety of what Kellensea says, as joy washes from her face like a car wash.

"Wh... huh?"

She looks to Ronnie, terrified, as the stress that's been building up looks to be reaching a crescendo, eyes watering up. This is too much, this is too much.

"What?"

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Ronnie sighs as he looks at Komaru.

Yea, it's true. And quite frankly, I don't have the energy to explain myself again. Let's just save Ranma.

> Try to save Ranma
