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

You've made stuff that's already pretty dang similar to it anyway.

Yes, but I want this one.

[ oh, the infamous butterflies are here now. ]

[ pats again

hmmm iced up butterflies maybe ]

We never did find that other gumball.

I wonder where it was?

[ but then the mod update happens, and pb starts to cough. when she moves her hand from her mouth, there's blood. ]

Why do I have blood.

[ WHY DOES SHE HAVE BLOOD ]

Did you eat someone???

[ she says, coughing up blood herself ]

Why would I eat someone? None of these people are candy!!

[ she reaches over to wipe some blood off of marceline's face ]

I don't know, but you don't even have any blood! How are you coughing it up?

[ this is distressing. she lets bonnie wipe her face ]

No clue--

[ she will look back towards the fight. ]

Is this what it feels like for her...?

... If that's true, she'd really hate all of us knowing like this.

[ poor roxana...exposed ]

Yeah... I'd be mortified, on top of how terrible everything else is here, too...

[ and now clarte is hallucinating people while dying of poison ]

This sucks.

[ ...

she reaches over to squeeze her hand. with the hand. that didn't wipe blood off. ]

[ clarte your stupid motherfucker do not get beheaded

she squeezes bonnie's hand back ]

[ she mutters under her breath. ]

This is really messed up.

She's not holding back...

[ unsurprising but like. damn. at least clarte isn't rolling as badly now ]

Yeah... but they'll be fine.

[ pb can't say she wouldn't be mad if the person who killed her friend walks out of this and clarte doesn't. ]

[ where's the raven goddess or whatever to cuck ara ]

Mm. Yeah. I guess.

[ she has her doubts about clarte's emotions being fine after this but surely no one would let jan die ]
