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.

[She opens her mouth as if to say something, except— Vicarious vore happens.

She sucks in a breath instead, clutching at her chest.]

What the hell?

[aitou]

[He immediately looks very concerned for her--but then others around them begin coughing, too, and Yasusada feels the same effects taking root in his own chest.]

...Roxana...

[pura]

[The TB is here... She covers her mouth with her hand when she begins to cough, some of the blood seeping through her fingers.]

... Is this how she felt?

[aitou]

[He looks supremely unhappy, which is probably enough of an answer on its own.]

[Nogiku joins him in looking supremely unhappy, which only gets worse when Clarte freezes. Hateful!]
