becomehero | Week 1: Execution

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.

Because this is just how high school is.

Is it, though…?

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

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

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

Then that means it was good enough.

[ thinks back to going to high school during a civil war like hm ]

[whispering]

Am I crazy? They didn’t make us fight each other one on one in an arena.

[ whispers back ]

I mean. My first high school got bombed and the second one got taken over and turned into a government shelter, so I guess maybe we might've missed out on some stuff? But I don't think this was a thing.

Seriously, are you guys okay?

[maybe high school was just different for 90s kids.]

I’ll have you know it was very difficult for me. My parents didn’t come to sports day [because he didn’t invite them] and I had an unfortunate hairstyle.

[ listening in... please elaborate on your stupid hair ]

[implying his hair right now isn’t unfortunate……]

[ gives him the most incredulous, offended look possible ]

...you know what, I'm not even gonna dignify that with a response. Because that would imply our experiences are even somewhat comparable.
