WEEK THREE: EXECUTION

[saturations]

EXECUTION: TRIAL BY COMBAT

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, Percy and Vax'ildan alone will begin to walk through as though drawn. All you can do now is watch and wait.

This is going to get weirdly personal without the prism even having to give us a play by play, isn't it.

[ darn it. ]

[thejkdefense]

Most likely. It doesn't have to be as extended as the Prism does when it takes matters into its own hands, though.

[Well, that depends on the people fighting, though, he knows that, but a lot of people would try to make it as quick as possible, instead of toying with them. Less room for things to get weirdly personal that way!]

[theampirequeen]

[ looks at the people involved. looks back at november ]

I don't have high hopes for that.

[thejkdefense]

They were already making it weirdly personal at the end of the trial, anyway.

[What with Vax shouting and punching Percy and all, that was a time]

[theampirequeen]

Yeah.

[ sounding tired. that's how she knows... this is going to get....... Personal ]
