becomehero | Week 0: Execution

week 0:

execution

Sunday morning starts off quietly enough, almost peaceful after the events of the past few days. Today, the alarm on everyone's phone starts at 12 PM, with a reminder of the execution to take place at 1 PM at the stadium. Unlike the Saturday notifications, however, this is the only reminder you get. It appears that attendance is not mandatory this time.

Well. Not for all of you, anyway. One of you feels a compulsion to head to the stadium, heading straight inside and following the staff to ready themselves for what's to come. All others who arrive at the stadium, hero or civilian, are led to spectator seating.

As the clock strikes 1 PM, Mika walks into the arena. On the opposite end of the field, Temenos steps out to greet them. As long as they both live, neither will able to leave the area, nor will any outsiders be able to enter.

You don't have to watch, of course. That's your choice. But with the event being broadcast all over the city, it may be hard to avoid. In-person or across town, everywhere is buzzing with gossip of the newly discovered villain about to face justice. Regardless of where you go or whether you choose to watch, the only thing to do now is wait.

[ POINTLESSLY KICKS AT THE BARS OF HIS CELLS ]

Of course they are.

[ jail seating chart means he has to mush his cheek against the bars to look in the direction of ace's cell. ]

... things are [ bark ] up for pirates back home.

[ hung is now anti-marines ]

[ he pauses at that and smirks. it's a very bad angle for them to see each other but it is there. ]

Trust me, the government wouldn't trust a pirate to do that job.

Well, [ bark ] this government and yours, too.

Yeah.

... Maybe Temenos can find a way around the whole thing.

[ this is a murdergame. no. ]

I don't know. He's smart as [ bark ] so maybe...

[ it's not happening ]

[ or he could just say he wants to get over it quickly and pick up a bow. hm. one fear ]

[ ... eventually, softly, while they talk to each other on the TV: ]

At least she gets to smile for a little longer.

[sorry to hung but he truly thinks this is one of the most unhinged things he has ever heard a person say.

she can smile a little longer until he shoots her with an arrow??????]

[ oh you're in for a long game, reigen.

he's not thrilled saying it or watching it. but temenos is clearly trying to do something nice for her before they have to face the music. at least someone is able to give mika something where they failed on the breaking out part of this. ]

[no, he gets what he means, the shock is more the idea that someone can get past the insanity of this situation to think like that. his brain is too stubbornly normie for this.]

[ grips him spiritually through the fourth wall.

godspeed on keeping your normie brain intact in the face of all these dystopia characters. ]

Is that what we're supposed to accept? Dying with a smile on her face?

[ snarled a little because he is still hoping for a murdergame miracle ]

[ he's hoping, too, but hooboy they are really in for it ]

I don't want to! [ a heavy bang against the bars ] She doesn't deserve this, and he shouldn't have to do this. This is a joke.

[ and then she shot temenos ]

I think I get how the Rocket thing happened now.

[

the fuel to his anger just. dies out for a couple minutes. ]

... yeah I think so, too.

[ there is an explosion so it's harder to see for a second but ace is just sighing because mika... damn it... ]

At least it's just his shoulder.

He's got a Remedy, from Amazoom... I remember from trial yesterday.

That's good. Since I got Will jailed.

[ the healer ]

I mean, Will kind of decided to do this of his own volition. You and Mr. Are'bal didn't really twist any of our arms about it.

[ they can absolutely not see each other at all but there's a derisive scoff from down the aisle, because, yeah. ]

Yep. A real classic.

At least the marines get their own hands dirty.

[ mostly. we are ignoring warlords for this purpose ]

Yeah... back home they got a designated headsman who handles all of 'em. This part is a not-so-fun new twist.

Least they could do is enact their justice by themselves.

I mean, we shouldn't be surprised, should we...

[ his face is up against the bars but their seating chart truly does block them off ]
