[Fin] Murder U Too - Endgame

[Florien]

Kellensea's stare, as always, is blank. It's hard to look incredulous when one has no visible facial features. But incredulous is what she is.

So. To be clear. You want the murderer to commit a murder right here in front of everyone so we can just execute him anyway? It's certainly a plan. By no means a brilliant plan. But a plan. We'll put that on the back burner for now. Let's start with your primary objection: Too much evidence points to the cookie monster. I see that as a point against your own argument. People make errors. Everyone here is a people. In this hypothetical scenario where there is a different, second killer, they'd have to clean up all the evidence, then plant evidence. Minor issue. People make errors, as I said earlier. There would be perhaps some signs indicating a framing. Ah, "but the frayed nature of the blue thread upon the ground", I hear you object? There's a clear explanation in this elaborate work of madness. This is how I think it went down last night, based on the evidence and experience I have arrayed afore me.

Kellensea arrogantly flips her scarf as she begins.

First, I was on the balcony, Kai entered the kitchen while I was there, and Bow alerted Kai. That led to Kai running towards Bow, and I ran past Kai to evade in case he attempted an attack, hiding in that storage room yonder. Next, Kai doubled back to find me. I went into the vent which Bow escaped into, and Bow was there. Assuming, naturally, they were here for me, I kicked at Bow, and Bow soon thereafter took flight. I then went to the Medbay, and started looting the place. Kai came and confronted me, as did Haruka. I kept hold, however, of my possessions. Following that, the lights returned. There would not be enough time for Kai to murder Doug in between the time in the kitchen area and the scene in the medbay. Further, a murderer would probably attempt to sleep as soon as possible after that. Now, here's what I think happened with the murder itself. 

The cookie monster first went to the kitchen after myself, Kai, and Bow were gone from the place. It retrieved gloves and a knife, leaving some fuzz on the knife rack. At that point, it went back, and severed a thread from its person. Then, it used the gloves to snap the neck of our victim. Once the deed was done, the monster cleaned up evidence, and deliberately left a single string there to evoke a coverup. Then, they travelled to the bathroom, and tossed the knife in the trash, and the gloves in the toilet. However... that's the charitable interpretation. It could also be that they simply screwed up and left evidence behind in the first place while cleaning up. But nonetheless, that is what I believe happened last night.

And then, Kellensea makes the most dramatic possible pose she can, given the scenario, and finally gets to the point.

I posit that COOKIE MONSTER is the murderer, and just didn't hide evidence very well! There was nothing professional about the neck snap, as the host says! The rules of reality, as I guessed much earlier, DO INDEED WORK WEIRD HERE! The kill would be possible no matter WHO attempted it! So, stand with me, and be vindicated, or stand with those who would deny my evidence, and suffer a horrifically bruised ego! AT BEST, the cookie monster framed itself! COOPERATE AND CLAIM VICTORY, AT MY SIDE!

Kellensea then slams her fists upon the table again, and ends her statement with a long stare... only to find everyone else is walking off to look for evidence. Annoyed that people haven't bought into her theory of the crime, she decides to participate in looking for evidence, if just to spite them by finding out how right she is.
