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.

... 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 ]

Right...

[ and then roxana kisses them? ]

What the heck.

I don't think this was a good kiss.

[ CLARTE IS COUGHING BLOOD? ARE THEY ALLERGIC TO GIRLS ]

She poisoned them!

Even more than she already had!

What, does she have poison spit??? What is she, a snake???

[ HELLO? ]

[ squints at hot pants ]

[ DOES HOT PANTS HAVE POISON SPIT TOO SHE WAS ONLY PAYING ATTENTION TO CLARTE AND NOT EVERYONE ELSE ]

[ no but since this is in bracket text, marceline will just now forever have this misconception about hot pants then ]

[ marceline is wondering why pb knows hot pants has poison spit ... how did this come up... :/ ]

[ it started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this...

it was only a kiss, it was only a kiss... ]

[ these things come up in convo yea

anyway, things are happening. ]

Clarte!

[ GET IT UP IT'S JUST A LITTLE POISON DON'T BE LIKE ROCHA ]

[ whomp stab ]

DO THAT BEFORE SHE POISONS YOU NEXT TIME!!!

[ clarte cannot hear her ]

To be fair, the initial poisoning happened very quickly.

I was talking about the kiss.

[ don't let people who are trying to kill you kiss you!!! that's foolish!!! ]
