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.

Yes.

[ not enough to enjoy watching this but yes she is still annoyed ]

[experimint]

[ she just nods her head knowingly. ]

That's fine. At least you're not laughing uncomfortably like the weird edgy kid over there.

[theampirequeen]

[ lowering her voice ]

He's always enjoying these every week. I think it's a thing for him, you know?

[ death fetish... ]

[experimint]

[ also lowers her voice ]

Should we like... automatically muzzle him or...?

[theampirequeen]

[ hm ]

I don't know, he's not spitting out what Roxana put in his mouth... maybe he'd like that too.

[experimint]

Yeesh.

Don't like that.

[theampirequeen]

Same.

[ raising her eyebrow at the dramatic gun changes ]

Did he just bring a knife to a gun fight?

[experimint]

[ she watches quietly, her expression going more serious as she whispers, ]

I still want that gun.

[theampirequeen]

[ hm. ]

Pretty sure you can only get it in fights to the death, Peebs.

[experimint]

[ mentally calculating if murder is worth using a sick ass gun ]

... let's hope that Vax'ildan ends this soon.

[theampirequeen]

[ ... she can tell bonnie is thinking about it and she just shakes her head at her slowly ]

He probably won't.

[experimint]

[ she wants him to!! everyone looks like they're ten seconds away from crying!! percy start rolling poorly on your dodges!! ]

... it would be nice if he did...

[theampirequeen]

The personal stuff is getting in the way of things going quick.

[ this is why you should only kill strangers you don't care about ]

[experimint]

Yeah, that's-- what okay that's weird.

[ smoke? what is this lich bullshit ]

[theampirequeen]

[ breathes out a long thing of smoke like she is a dragon. hehe. ]

... Probably not a good sign.

[experimint]

Probably not. And-- oh!

[ vax just shot himself and gave himself wings so she's now just

nudging marceline obnoxiously ]

Did you see that?

[theampirequeen]

Yes, Bonnie. I saw. He grew wings.

[ so what!!! she can grow wings too normally!!! the gun is not special!!! ]

[experimint]

[ FUCK YOU SHE LOVES THIS GUN

she's just making this face at it now ]

[theampirequeen]

[ this nerd ]

[experimint]

[ it's fine sometimes it's easier to talk about a cool paintball gun than to emotionally acknowledge the shitty murdergame you're in. can't catch me, honest expressions of feelings. ]

[theampirequeen]

[ don't tell the people our coping mechanisms ]

[experimint]

[ it's ok babe it's bracket text we're safe

[theampirequeen]

Man, Kazuma and Marie were real dumb not to pick combat.

[experimint]
