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.

[she's about to say something else, but then temenos speaks and—]

30 minutes, huh? They really want their money's worth.

[ Maybe it's a good thing it's Temenos up there because one of their own is less likely to turn this into a drawn out torture fest. ]

I. I don't know if this is helping our case.

They're going to think she shot him on purpose, and not because she's clumsy...

Yuuuup. They want villain and she's really giving them villain.

[ Meanwhile Temenos is playing up the saint, keeping on going with the sports festival farce even with a literal arrow in his shoulder. Talk about making things even polarizing... ]

Though they have low standards for what qualifies as a villain...

It sounds like "killing a hero" is kind of like killing a god, to them.

Though... I mean, if Mika killed Rocket and they're both heroes, couldn't they just as well argue that Rocket was a villain and Mika protected the city? It's so... meaningless.

They could've. But that wouldn't make as good a story.

It certainly would have made them miss out on this and I'm getting the sense that they'd consider that a shame.
