WEEK FIVE: 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, Roxana and Clarte alone will begin to walk through as though drawn. All you can do now is watch and wait.

[ HOT PANTS YOUR WACKY WOODEN TRACK SNAP TOY PATTERN is worrying. Since Kazunari has taken one hand, Aymeric takes the other. She may squeeze until she breaks his hand and that would be okay. ]

Trust in them to return.

Don’t, actually, because self-sacrifice. Aymeric is going to naively hope, though. ]

I hope so. If Clarte does some self-sacrificial bullshit, I'll...

[UGH! Yeah she's holding his hand. He gets hand privileges.]

They'd better not. For Garou, at least.

If it comes to that, we can seek an avenue of reparation for our suffering, and for Ser Garou’s.

...Yes. We can.
