Cosplay caper (2)

Everyone gazed up at Natto's corpse in horror. Fumiyo in particular looked the most horrified of all.

"Now everybody remain calm, we're gonna cut to commercials," Ray Greno said as he ran onto the stage.

"Ah shit, I was hoping Ray Greno died," Beans grumbled.

Kaemi immediately threw off her wig and hopped on stage as she produced her police badge.

"Nobody move! I'm with the police," Kaemi declared.

The audience then sudden;y began cheering.

"Ugh, don't tell me they think they're part of an act," Kaemi grumbled.

                                                                     ...

The audience watched with intrigue as Kaemi and the event's security got Natto down.

"He's dead. Death by hanging," Kaemi groaned.

"Uh, is everything alright?" a security guard whispered.

"They think it's an act."

"Oh. It might be for the best. Guess we should play along. Might lower the culprit's guard."

"So what did you see, Ghost?" Reiju glared.

"Well, someone strung him up and hung him while the lights went out," Shiruka stated.

"Well that's helpful."

"So care to explain what you meant by your statement, Mr. Beans?" Kaemi glared at Beans.

"I mean, if you watch my videos, you'll know that I sadly created Ray Greno. He's my cringiest bit," Beans stated.

"I'm actually an alien," Ray Greno stated.

"I hope he did it."

"Nah, it was me!" the purple one declared.

"Why is it you?" Kaemi glared.

"Cause I'm the poiple one."

The purple one was immediately cuffed and dragged off stage.

"I do whatever I want! And I felt like killing that blue bird utter freak cuz he ate muh custard!" the purple one declared as Kaemi rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, he didn't do it," Shiruka stated.

"So go find out who did," Reiju glared.

Shiruka floated to the stage as both Niles and Fumiyo gazed in his direction.

"I'd love for Niles to be guilty of this. I bet he's responsible for the blackout, but the murder might not have been by his hand," Shiruka thought.

"FATHER!" a voice cried out.

Everyone turned to see the Annie from before, pale as a sheet and crying. She immediately leapt on stage and began sobbing as she stared down at Natto.

"I'M SORRY! I DIDN'T KNOW THIS WOULD HAPPEN!" Annie cried.

"Annie I turned myself into an eggplant, eh," Natto's voice rang out.

Everyone turned to see the guy that had been dressed as cow Natto, dressed as eggplant Natto.

"Huh? THEN WHO THE FUCK IS THIS!?" Annie angrily shouted as she kicked the corpse.

"In episode 2, Duke Dookie made many clones of me," Eggplant Natto declared.

Kaemi unamusingly ripped the mask off the dead Natto, revealing him to be a hairless guy with wrinkly skin. Purple custard could be seen lining his lips.

"Luigi Metalini!? Oh, well then give whomever killed him a medal," Fumiyo said as color returned to her face.

"FUMIYO!" Kaemi angrily glared.

"Ugh, why must people die all the time? Can't I just get SOME profit from this?" the editor sighed as he wiped his brow.

"Oh hey, it's the greedy editor himself making a statement," Shiruka chuckled.

"Uhh, I know I want to keep up the act, eh, but that guy asked to become Cow Natto, so I became Eggplant Natto, eh," Natto stated.

"Yes, we saws the pruney man change into the costume," Zollum stated.

"So you might have been the original target then," Kaemi groaned.

"Puple ones saws the changing, so nos."

"Wonder if it's Annie. Her kicking the corpse might have hidden something," Chika suggested.

"Nah, I've got a better idea of who it is," Reiju declared as she leapt on stage.

"Oh, does someone know who committed this oh so atrocious murder?" Kaemi groaned.

"I bet the Frenchman did it. He's a sussy baka werewolf after all," Dumbee smiled.

"He isn't here, dumbass," Daigoro groaned as he facepalmed.

"Roux lost 7,000,000 brain cells," Fumiyo joked.

"Now first, get everyone whom was here before back. And I mean EVERYONE. Even those security guys," Reiju said.
