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.

[big angy...

will's fists keep clenching and unclenching as he stares at the tv. why is this a thing he's so mad.]

[resumed]

[ HE'S ALSO BIG MAD THEY'RE SEPARATED FROM EACH OTHER so he looks down from the tv at will for a second. ]

It's just like a real coliseum. But now with more coverage.

[stunwhistle]

...they're treating this like it's entertainment.

[which. yes that happens in real coliseums and he knows it but mika didn't even mean to kill rocket what the fck]

[resumed]

...what if that's the real reason we were brought here? We don't know enough about the competition, but if this is televised, who knows what else is?

[stunwhistle]

[ohhh, he hates that.]

...explains why they had that party before we even did anything. A way of introducing the "cast" to the people watching.

[resumed]

I don't know if I'm surprised. Are you? [ it isn't like they aren't used to being watched by ominous beings. ]

[stunwhistle]

...not really. But I really wanted to be wrong about what I was thinking.

[he was trying to manifest this not being a murdergame through the sheer power of positive thinking alone. it was never going to work.]

[resumed]

You've always been the better optimist. [ a flat joke. ] ...when we get out, we'll make a new plan to figure out what's next.

[stunwhistle]

Yeah. We can regroup.
