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.

Itsuki's here, keeping his emotions locked up inside -- no, he's nervous and worried, but both of those emotions calm a little when he feels Roxana's
there's a spike of surprise at the fireworks, which reminds him...]
...They really do look better in person.
no subject
it takes a brief moment for her to remember, but she nods. ]
It's... a little sad for what it's a preface for.
no subject
...Yeah. [it is!! it's sad!!] At least this moment... it'll always belong to them.
[the softness and sadness,]
no subject
Itsuki knows the pain inherent in that. She squeezes his hand in return. ]
It'll be something for them to hold.
[ imagine if vin rejects him in front of god and everyone ]
no subject
but this is just as sad actually... vin...
he doesn't say anything, but his emotions pulse a little -- at happiness because he'll always be happy to see two people who care for another, and sadness for the ones who'll be left behind.
it'll make the next part harder to watch, but... he's glad he was lucky enough to get to see.]
no subject
ara, you got to do romantic stabs once.... it's still a dream i want to repeat....
but there sure are shots flying now. ]
And now, it'll be an end.
no subject
the shots are flying and vin's being hit by a firework, of all things... and hearing Atsushi yell, as if confused]
...It really has a hold on him.
[not even changing his nature, but using his kindness in this way? it already makes a difficult execution harder to watch,]
no subject
She nods, and there is a feeling of grimness to match her calm. ]
It will better for him to be released.
[ For someone who said he was afraid of the change within him, this would only feed into it. ]
no subject
funny that roxana's meta brackets say that,
Itsuki takes a deep breath as that foreign feeling squirms inside him, but it's drowned out by the pulse of sorrow at Vin's words, the dagger in her hand]
Vin-chan...
no subject
anyway
the new feelings that rise up from this execution aren't really all that new. it's nothing she hasn't felt someway before, and she tamps down on it. she is calm. she can only be calm.
she watches vin stab with calmness, too. hopefully, that will be enough. ]
