chroma | WEEK TWO: EXECUTION

EXECUTION: MARIE AMABUKI

Sunday morning starts peacefully enough, until around noon, when alarms start going off on your phones. The dreadful noise is accompanied by a reminder of the execution taking place in the Central Node. You can snooze the alarms at first, but they begin to get a little more insistent. If you're being stubborn, you can probably hold out until exactly 1 PM, when an archway opens right in front of you and pulls you in.

Today the Central Node is eerily quiet and empty. There are a few blankets laid out on the grass for those of you who wish to sit instead of standing the whole time. No refreshments have been provided, but the Residents are already there waiting for you.

As the last person enters the node, an enormous archway suddenly opens. This archway once again leads to an area which is pitch black inside, with white and grey dust falling softly like snow. The chilly air feels even colder than before, and you instinctively know you must not approach it. If you try to push through anyway, something is blocking your way. Smaller tears to the same space open in the air, at the very least. You can see what's happening, even if you can't follow.

Because - once the archway is open, Marie alone will begin to walk through as though drawn. All you can do now is watch and wait.

[this is fine

anyway, looks over to what damien said]

... Most likely a heart monitor, based off Marie's life.

[ He obviously has no idea what that means, but also. He doesn't care yet enough to ask. ]

This better not sucking us in.

[ Like the fax. ]

[THE FAX, SPOON?]

It probably is.

[ THE WAX............. i'm in tears that tag is so incomprehensible sorry for my english ]

Cool. So we have that to look forward to as well.

[pats u]

We'll see, then.

[but for now, clarte continues to watch what's going on with marie.]

[...

seeing themself in marie's illusion is. hm. they freeze, for just a moment.]

...Hey.

[Looking over at Clarte with concern, with a look that almost says "don't let it get to you, please."]

[they just offer hot pants a smile. it's okay.]

[frowning!! staring!!! DON'T JUST SMILE SHE KNOWS THIS IS BAD]

[it's fine it's far from the first time they've seen some version of themself like this anyway]

Clarity...

[ nooo ]

[if meteion is within reaching distance, they'll hold out a hand to touch her feathers. they're fine.]

[ even if she's frozen next to bass i'm going to say they're close enough. so her wing can brush against their hand. it's okay, to not be fine... ]

[they really will be okay, they're more sad for marie than anything right now?]
