Week 0: Execution

[becomemod]

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.

Uh. Yeah? You haven't seen one of these things before?

[foreverphantom]

I've been here a week.

[lovebombing]

Ooooh. Okay. Gotcha. Sure are a lot of new people...

Anyways, we have these every now and then for the big villains. Gotta do something to keep the worst of the worst from doing even more worse, right?

[foreverphantom]

...riiiiiight.

And what defines a "big villain" apart from just a regular one?

[lovebombing]

They're a danger to society. People who want to destroy the world, or kill people out of nothing but fun. Stuff like that.

I mean, not like we're told what these guys did exactly, but it's not like they do this for some random scam artist.

[foreverphantom]

If they don't tell you, then how do you know the villain isn't just a random scam artist?

[lovebombing]

Uhhhh, because execution would be a drastic and horrific punishment for someone like that? I'm sure people would like, riot.

[LIKE HIS NECK WOULD BE ON THE LINE HE WOULD BE SO AGAINST THAT!!! SAVE YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSMAN]

[foreverphantom]

Uh-huh. And why would they riot if they don't actually know what the executionee did?

[lovebombing]

That's what the heroes tell us about these things and how necessary they are? I mean, come on, man. That would assume we're just being played for fools by the people here to save our butts on a regular basis. I'm not saying this is good, but it's how it's always been. To keep us safe.

When people lose trust in their heroes.....

[He lets his sentence drift off.]

[foreverphantom]

...uh-huh. Sure.

I'll let you figure that one out while you munch on your Execution Special Jumbo Size Death Popcorn.

[ that's right, i am assigning him snacks. ]

[lovebombing]

[HE LITERALLY DOESN'T HAVE SNACKS]

Hey, Sampo Koski is on a strict fat-free diet and isn't going to get in on that buttery death bag!

[foreverphantom]

[ rolls his eyes

spontaneously changes his power to be manifesting snacks out of thin air so that he can spawn one over sampo's head and dunk a popcorn bucket on him--no ]
