Finally, there's just one victim, so we don't have to go through the whole color-coded thing. About time too, it was making my head spin.
Bears are colorblind, you know. Just trust me on that one!
Anyway, place your vote for who you think torched ol' DemonMist. Now with the added bonus of not having to color it! Aren't I great? I figured demons would fireproof, you know? But it looks like that's not the case. A shame, a real shame. Maybe you can avenge him by catching his killer? Or maybe not, considering your track record!
Tentatively placing a vote for MCD. He's been to the right places and has a penchant for dressing up as avian creatures. He's also been seen with matches before, and we've only discovered one matchbox missing.
So, you've placed your votes yet again. Looks like ol' @MCD is overwhelmingly in the lead. Buuuut... Is he guilty?
...Wow, consider me genuinely surprised! He's definitely Guilty, so maybe you guys aren't total losers after all. 2 out of 4 is teeechnically a pass, so I guess you're at least not totally braindead. Still... I gotta say, congrats on taking this guy down! He was a total pain in the ass, trust me! Did you know this guy used to be a famous actor? Now all he does is sit around and drink.
Well, I think it's time for his dramatic comeback, because it's punishment time!

MCD is standing in complete darkness. A stage light to his left flashes on, the light illuminating the white feathers of the chicken suit covering his body. The stage light to his right does the same, this one closer than the last. As the beam pierces the shadows around him, his face; clad in a Goose mask is revealed. A teleprompter flickers on, telling him to "Juggle if he wants to live".
Another light illuminates the Foyer, showing Monokuma sitting in a chair in front of him, a bunch of wine bottles sitting in a pile besides him. Monokuma clears his throat, and indicates that it's time to begin. MCD gulps as Monokuma tosses him two wine bottles, but he manages to juggle them with relative ease. He IS an actor after all, and honestly, he probably counts as a clown too.
Monokuma throws more and more bottles into the mix, MCD struggling to keep it going . Eventually, it becomes too much for him, and he begins to drop them left and right, each bottle shatters, spraying him with the contents. Is this... gasoline? MCD gulps and turns to run, but it's too late. Monokuma strikes a match, and tosses it into the puddle around his feet, igniting him.
As his screams eventually die down, you can swear that the air smells just like roast chicken.

His role was the Ultimate Channeler
role description:
Being connected deeply with the dead since a young age, the ways of the supernatural are nothing strange to you. Indeed, you are the Ultimate Channeler; able to harness the power of spirits, though not always with much choice in the matter.
At the beginning of each night, you will be offered a list of three random roles from a previous KG. You can pick from the three, and you will obtain that role for the night, minus the Forbidden Action, which will instead remain the Forbidden Action of the Ultimate Channeler.
You will only receive the names of the roles before choosing, but you will obtain the full power list after selecting your role. Additionally, if you choose a role that comes with a weapon, costume, or other item, it will vanish the next night, as is the fleeting nature of the world beyond.
Forbidden Action: You are not allowed to reveal how your power functions. Spirit channelers are largely disliked after an unfortunate court case years ago, and so you would prefer to keep it a secret. You will not die if others guess your ability, but you can never confirm it.
His role, of course, bestowed at least four other roles upon him, so let's take a look at what he was working with!
Night 1: Ultimate Brewer:
(Elyk, Killing Game 2.5)
+At the start of every Killing Phase, you will be sent a single potion description via a Conversation. What the potion will do will be described, but every night it will be random.
+The effects manifest whether you drink it or splash it on someone else.
-Potions go bad after the night passes, so be sure to use them if you want to take advantage of that night's effect.
Night 2: Ultimate Chicken:
(Feminist Komaeda, Killing Game 5]
You are the ULTIMATE CHICKEN, accepted into Hope's Peak Academy because you wear a chicken suit every single day and you're honestly pretty dedicated god damn.
You start the game in a CHICKEN SUIT, which you can remove and put back on at any time you wish. It is the only chicken suit in the entire game, and if anyone attempts to make one, it will not resemble yours in any way. It is completely distinctive, which you can use to your advantage if you so desire.
You can also make extremely loud CHICKEN NOISES, but only when wearing the suit. They are so loud, that every player in the building should be able to hear your noises. On the other hand though, you may occasionally cluck when you don't want to, albeit rather quietly.
FORBIDDEN ACTION: You may not consume any poultry
Night 3: Ultimate Eldritch Horror:
(Gato, Killing Game 4)
+Everyone who isn’t in a Costume will not be able to discern your true identity
-The insane ramblings of the elder ones guide your movements. Your actions will occur, but perhaps in more mysterious, strange, and disturbing ways than you could predict
Night 4: Ultimate Time Anomaly:
(Syaxamaphone, Killing Game 5.Dude)
±Your actions can take place out of order. You will 'jump' between locations when you enter and exit them. Waking up and sleeping will always bookend it as normal.
+You can intentionally distort your time line, but there are rules. You still have to 'travel' to a location, but you can choose to do the travelling after the fact. You still need to pick up an item somewhere before you can use it elsewhere.
-If you murder, your time will get more linear.
Wow, he had quite the beefy powerset huh? Even with the clear timeline screwery he did, you still managed to nab him! Boy, I bet you guys wish you worked this hard on the past couple nights, huh?
Puhuhuhu, I can't wait to see this level of effort from you bozos again! It's a real nail-biter, every time!
