Iron Bull: 1
Kazuma Kval: 14
Harold Berselius: 4
Minako Arisato: 2
Hancock: 8 ]

Your votes have been tallied. Congratulations! You discovered the true culprit, Kazuma Kval. Time will be allotted for the culprit to be spoken to.

[mnasthai]

[ Kazuma doesn't say anything at first, almost like he's shocked into silence. But then he just....laughs. Bull and anyone else who were there with him when he saw Maria's and Giles head will recognize it, it's the same insane laughter.]

Fufu.........hahahahahaahahaha!!!!

I guess you aren't all that stupid after all. [ And he's grinning because no, he's remarkably not upset about this.]

[tacklefordwhimsy]

N-No way!

[Shelley is so, so pale now]

[mnasthai]

Surprised?

[antietam]

[ WHAT THE FUCK. ]

What... You were just pretending the whole time?

[mnasthai]

I guess you could say that. [ He just kind of shrugs?]

I had a purpose before I came here, and being here doesn't change that.

[thanatosincarnate]

{ Arumat has a feeling he wouldn't have voted any different, even if he had known, or maybe... he just didn't want to acknowledge the possibility it was Kazuma that also blinded him. For some reason, he doesn't begin to cause a ruckus, but maybe it's only for now (temporary, definitely temporary).

Yet, that changes when he sees the male's startling character change and he growls. }

...What the hell is this? Was it all an act? A game for you?!

{ No, not only that -- }

If you have time to laugh like a clown. Explain -- how did you do all of that in the first place?

[mnasthai]

Ahh what did you say to me this week? You wanted to see who I would become? I've decided or rather-- I already knew. I wasn't lying about that.

[ He tilts his head and grins.]

I asked Carta to come to the pool to me because I heard something. She wasn't suspicious of me, and why should she be? I pushed her in with wind magic and I had planned on drowning her with my barrier but...then she shot herself when it ricocheted. [ And he's laughing again because he can't help it.]

[bloodbiter]

[a momentary pause of surprise before she speaks]

Why would you do something like this?

[mnasthai]

Because I needed the Azure.

[breakshot]

Wha... What.

[ KAZUMA... come on he already felt like an asshole for bringing up the ricochet thing. please don't say the eight year old thing was all a lie!! ]

You mean to say that was all an act?!

[mnasthai]

Kind of?

[muties]

[ what the fuck??? ]

No, we're pretty stupid I'm p sure most of us just fuckin' guessed? Holy fuck, kid.

[parodeity]

I think he wants to do the full-on villain monologue here.

[thatbites]

[Emily's turning away. Fuck this. Fuck this.]

This is bullshit. Call me when you're all done talking to the psychopath.

[bloodteller]

I think this is just him, naturally, Emily. [ sympathetically. what a shitty trial... ]

[chiseler]

[He's just watching all of that before he leans back in his seat with a "huh" under his breath.]

Well played. [HOLY FUCK THOUGH.]

[tevinteriscoming]

Of course it was the little understood orb of unstoppable magic. Isn't it always?

[missmaladroite]

[she was prepared to feel bad BUT NO HE WAS JUST A DICK ALL ALONG]

Was it worth it, you liar?! What was so important that you'd kill a woman over?

[erythristic]

[instead of angry, or shocked, Grell looks almost regretful now. she steps forward, and if Alice will allow, reaches out to take his hands in hers.

sure, he's laughing like a monster, but this is the first time the killer was someone she even respected a little bit.]

What a shame. And here I was hoping we would have the time to get to know each other better.

[todorable]

[after kazuma's helpful exposition to arumat... he can't think of anything to say that doesn't sound really fucking dumb but.]

...How long did you have this planned.

[antagonize]

[THIS IS WHY JASON TODD HAS TRUST ISSUES.

BETRAYED BY A FUCKING 8-YEAR-OLD.]

Congrats. I'd tell you to have fun being a murderous piece of shit in hell, but... Nah.

[qundercover]

So, it was definitely for some crazy magic shit, right?

[refactor]

[ Jack isn't actually speaking to Kazuma here so much as... everyone else... ]

What, seriously? You're all friggin' surprised? Dude laughed at the corpse soup, and I mean, look at him. He's got the "totally 'secretly' crazy" thing written all over him.

[ He leans back in his seat and shrugs. ]

Pfft. Amateurs. Also, this was a 4 out of 10.

[toprotecttheworld]

You must think you're pretty smart, twerp.

Too bad you're actually pretty pathetic.
