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

[ stops nudging because they're doing love confessions ]

Yikes.

[experimint]

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? ]

[theampirequeen]

... You think so?

[ the vibes are only unsure here ]

[experimint]

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.

[theampirequeen]

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

[ damn. ruthless. ]

[experimint]

Well, yes, not that part.

[theampirequeen]

[ 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 ]

[experimint]

Dunno. I guess there's one way to find out, but...

[ she feels like people might not want to rest that out? ]

[theampirequeen]

Maybe we keep it hypothetical.

[ bonnie, ]

[experimint]

You're the one who brought it up, not me!

[theampirequeen]

I asked what you thought!!

[ it's DIFFERENT ]

[experimint]

I'm right! But that doesn't mean I want us to do that! It just doesn't make me any less right!

[theampirequeen]

Yeah, but you shouldn't say it.

[furrier]

[ watches ]

[experimint]

Yeah, okay, miss slow cooking.

[theampirequeen]

I was objecting to the dang idea!! And we just flipping microwaved him instead, how's that any less weird.

[experimint]

[ i guess they are just having a whispered argument in the middle of this really tragic and beautifully written execution. vin and atsushi you guys are doing amazing. ]

I'm not the one who suggested that either! But you could have phrased it better.

[theampirequeen]

[ they are doing amazing keep murdering each other romantically ]

What's there to phrase better? It's literally what they wanted to do and no one was pointing out how messed up it was!

[experimint]

Then don't criticize when I say something! You're always so judgmental.

[ the vibes are annoyed. ]

[theampirequeen]

I'm judgmental?? Seriously?!

[ the vibes are outraged ]

[experimint]

Shhh! They're still fighting. At least try to be mindful of everyone else.

[theampirequeen]

[ IF SHE COULD WALK AWAY SHE WOULD ]

You're so-- ughhhhh!!

[experimint]

[ SORRY MARCELINE, SHE IS BUSY WATCHING ATSUSHI TRY TO MURDER THE GIRLFRIEND HE HAS HAD FOR TEN MINUTES. ]

[theampirequeen]

[ tired angry watching it too ]
