chroma | WEEK FOUR: EXECUTION

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, Atsushi and Vin alone will begin to walk through as though drawn. All you can do now is watch and wait.

Don't say that.

[ she nudges her. ]

It might be a weird chicken. We shouldn't just assume it's always goats.

Fine.

I hope no one turns into a weird animal again.

[ she fixed it. ]

[ THANK you marceline ]

[ anyway ]

Well, at least we know what to expect this time...

... Rainbow puke and a lot of scream crying on a week where everyone is projecting feelings like woah?

[ the vibe is yikes ]

... I meant to stop it, but I guess all of that is true?

[ yikes ]

[ stab a crying bitch... she nods with a grimace and looks at the cute fireworks ferris wheel moment with the two out there

and continues in that low tone ]

That's not gonna last.

Shhhh. Let them have this.

[ even if it ends badly!!

she nudges her again. ]

[ nudges her back but fine only silently watching

the calm before the murder attempts ]

[ they're just going to keep nudging each other during this until something bad happens. ]

[ stops nudging because they're doing love confessions ]

Yikes.

That was very brave of him.

[ to confess and then die. this probably could have had better timing, but who is pb to judge when it is the right time to express affection towards another person in an appropriate setting? ]

... You think so?

[ the vibes are only unsure here ]

He could have been rejected and it would have been awkward.

[ she nudges her again. ]

But it kind of reminds me of something Finn would do.

I don't think Finn would shoot them in the face after.

[ damn. ruthless. ]

Well, yes, not that part.

[ vin is fine and didn't die from gun to the face but marcy is still pensive ]

Sooo. Do we think the refraction still goes away if Vin dies instead? The both of them living worked last time but...

[ it was kind of dramatic ]
