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.

[YAMS IS HERE, probably holding hands with Kashuu as usual and watching with a serious expression on his face. It shifts into something of a frown when he sees the weapon, but he's quiet and observant overall.]

[Sometimes you make a habit of holding hands at executions it's fine. Every day his ass hates it here a little more!!]

[aitou]

[Sometimes a dude has like 15 different guns and you've gotta breath smoke about it... bad.

But for all that he doesn't like this--at least this so much more familiar than the last executions. (In spirit, if not practice, anyway.) So there's less tension and anger in him today--it's more sympathy and sorrow as he rests his head on Kashuu's shoulder, watching the fight.]

[aitou]

[He's been watching most of this fight, but once it starts getting exceedingly personal, he turns his face away slightly. Not out of fear or pain, but as a show of respect for the both of them.]

[Oh I guess he can perceive the het]
