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.

Itsuki immediately tries moving when Hot Pants does, but he's still frozen, his eyes dart towards Vax and Percy to Malik,]

[meteion]

[ THIS MOOD WHIPLASH?!?!

Meteion is horrified, watching what's happening before them and if she tries to answer him

well, it is cut off by a choke as her hands reach to cover her mouth. it doesn't stop the strange colorful liquid that seeps through her fingers, though.

help. ]

Itsuki immediately starts coughing, he can barely turn his head in time so that it doesn't land on Meteion -- and then he hears Steel's voice,
