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.

[ 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

look vax is getting hit with a gu yun statue "it's not gu yun" a gu yun ]

[theampirequeen]

[ why does this statue look... obnoxious... ]

[theampirequeen]

[ after all of that she just. in a low tone to pb. ]




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

[experimint]

[ SHE JUST

BARKS OUT A LAUGH


and then covers her mouth in embarrassment

it's ok it can be confused for a laugh of disbelief or something it's fine don't look at her ]

[theampirequeen]

[ nyehehehe ]

[theampirequeen]

[ and then malik is a goat ]




Yikes.

[experimint]

[ uh ]

Does he normally do that?

[theampirequeen]

[ looks at him crying. hm. hrmmm.

that actually means nothing there are so many crying transformations in adventure time. she shrugs ]

Probably not?

[experimint]

[ very quietly, ]

Maybe execution is the right choice after all.

[theampirequeen]

'Scuse me.

[ turns away from pb because watching malik was a mistake and she has to puke a rainbow now ]

[experimint]

[ damn maybe we should be a lil more homophobic if being gay leads to this ]

What the heck, man.

[theampirequeen]

[ wiping at her mouth as more rainbow dribbles up. this feels awful. ]

I don't know which of these guys I should be blaming for this. [ is this percy or malik's fault. "probably the prism" percy or vax or malik... ] Let's just do what Steel asks, I guess?!

[experimint]

But... is that what's been making everyone go bonkers?

[ maybe malik is the other murderer and he isn't just randomly a goat ]

[theampirequeen]

[ she pauses, wipes some more rainbow, and: ]

I am going to flip out if I've been accused two weeks in a row when it was goatman over there.

[experimint]

[ she pats marceline's shoulder to soothe her ]

[experimint]

[ wait her hand was covered in rainbow puke ]

[experimint]

[ puts her hand down. ]

[theampirequeen]

[ weakly laughing ]

Oh, man. Bonnie. Yuck.

[experimint]

[ after listening to steel, ]

... so, did he really kill and this is what happens if we don't catch him?

[theampirequeen]

... I guess? He did fit those clothes they found.

[ and no one forced him to strip ever ]

So what about our other missing killer? Are they just tougher?

[ is malik just... a weak bitch who loves to turn into goats... ]

[experimint]

I don't know. I suppose it would make more sense for him to have been involved both weeks, if that were the case, otherwise time-wise it's a little weird... unless he was last week and not this. Or...

[ she has moved past being horrified and is now just theorizing as she spits vomits rainbows. ]
