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.

[tiny little sigh, not necessarily displeased.]

That sounds like you.

[moonlightbeast]

Sorry for being predictable like that.

[Nevermind that he's smiling a little as he says that.]

[allomantic]

It's...

[she's about to say something before percy fires that second gun and she freezes instead, hand tightening a little on his.]

[moonlightbeast]

[Yeah that is fair, Percy is getting a little scary.

He'll hold onto her hand tighter too.]

[allomantic]

[it's bad!! it's even worse when vax points the gun at himself and she makes a very distressed noise of alarm, trying to move forward despite how futile that is.]

[moonlightbeast]

[This execution is more Extra than some of the fights he's seen back in his world. And his canon is Gay Drama: the Animation, so.]

What are they even doing?

[allomantic]

[watching as vax rises into the air, somehow a fraction calmer while watching this, though she's still wary as she continues to look that way.]

...I think he knows what he's doing.

[moonlightbeast]

I really hope he does.

[Because he has no idea what Vax is doing.]

[allomantic]

...He does.

[she says that even after he gets yeeted into a statue. it's fine.]
