Week 1: Execution

[becomemod]

week 1:

 

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, Argalia walks into the arena. On the opposite end of the field, Nimona 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.

That's easier if people don't make a show of it on purpose.

[ also belatedly a bitch fixed up the yellow friendship bracelet and is wearing it forever now. he is jellyfish and otter both. ]

[spiritconsulting]

[aww.]

…Just wish we could have this over with.

[but sadly that’s not how executions work.]

[selfimmolation]

[ annoyed at argalia giving nimona fighting lessons mid-execution not because it is anything bad but because he is just annoyed at argalia talking ]

I don't think it's happening anytime soon.

[spiritconsulting]

[listen. Bitch is eating crackers. It’s smug. But he sort of gets that he’s trying to get Nimona more angry.]

Why are they all themed around high school…

[foreverphantom]

Because this is just how high school is.

[spiritconsulting]

Is it, though…?

[riverbero]

[man you guys got to go to high school?]

[foreverphantom]

Just because you had a good high school experience doesn't mean we all get to.

[spiritconsulting]

I didn’t say it was good, but it wasn’t similar to this.

[foreverphantom]

Then that means it was good enough.

[doghouse]

Maybe it's an America thing.

[axeswing]

What’s America… why does it sound like a weapon…

[spiritconsulting]

[oh…he nods. This is what high school is like in America.]

[selfimmolation]

[ is it ??? ]

[foreverphantom]

[ yes. ]

[squelching]

[hm.

suddenly not sure if she is thankful or disappointed to be homeschooled.]

[selfimmolation]

... Are they...?

[ huh. ]

[spiritconsulting]

Sports festival, marching band…

It’s weird. It doesn’t have anything to do with superheroes.

[inquired]

Yes - the parameters are very tight. No real weapons, and the implication that you'll be expected to play along with something like this.

[ a nod to the. whatever sport is happening down there. ]

I've the feeling that even if you tried to end it quickly, something about it would go wrong.

[selfimmolation]

You think? How do they even pick these stages out anyway?

[ one piece definitely has marching bands but he's still WHY about it ]

[inquired]

Irony?

[ extremely dry ]

[selfimmolation]

[ the real irony is ace suddenly stopping talking because even though it's just a baby nosebleed he is incredibly Mad nimona is bleeding ]

[inquired]

[ one of those gods i wish i could do anything moments. one of those gods i wish i had my healing moments.

watching nimona :coerce:, but he mutters, under his breath ]

Jab, Nimona -

[ and then whoop off her feet she goes and away goes the flag. even he starts a little, starting to straight up white knuckle his own staff. ]

[selfimmolation]

[ he fucking hates having to just stand back and watch actually "he could leave" NOT KNOWING IS WORSE so instead he's gritting his teeth ]

Why isn't she...

[ [hanako voice] why won't you just stab him ]

[inquired]

[ the flicker of the screens combined with argalia going over nimona is bad - his head whips around when they go out, and then the pole rears back, and he goes impossibly tense in the breath of a pause, with a: ]

- Gods' teeth, Nimona -

[ (fantasy catholic voice) mother FUCKER ]
