Week 3: Execution

[becomemod]

week 3:

 

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, Adlet walks into the arena. On the opposite end of the field, Rita 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.

EXECUTION

[becomemod]

[querencias]

[ ah.

as soon as he sees who it is, adlet stops mid-step. almost like he's frozen again like yesterday, or maybe more like things aren't connecting the way they should. then he laughs, empty. puts on a smile because that is what he does. shakes his head a little, laughs some more. ]

...I feel like I've done this already. [ the echoes. his head.

it doesn't matter, he won't look at them.

He can move on reflex, to the tools (aren't these for horses?) picking up a horsehoe and a spike. ]

[rizomata]

[ Rita strolls out into the field with a natural-looking confidence. There's a satchel at her waist, but other than that, she looks the same as usual.

Their field appears to be a flat, grassy stage, with a few rows of stakes in the ground and what looks like some piles of horseshoes ready to be picked up and tossed. Rita just gives them a disdainful look. ]

Wow. Looks like even your death stage is going to be lame.

... Well, whatever.

[ She reaches into a pocket and pulls out a couple strawberries, and bounces them lightly in her palm as she faces Adlet. ]

Ready to die?

[spiritconsulting]

[he didn't want to be here or watch. he looks rough, vaguely hungover and a bit disheveled. but it's rita, so he'll stay.]

[doghouse]

[ briefly puts a hand on his shoulder before going to sit with hanako. ]

[squelching]

[... she sits down next to him and hands him a water bottle.]

[hananobooks]

[If there's no one on his other side Robin will sit next to him and gently pat his arm.]

[hanaban]

[ GLUM ]

[doghouse]

[ here to hold his hand if he wants it. ]

[tongshi]

[ well.

hung's not bothering with sitting down. he's standing up, as close as possible, to where the barrier keeps them separate from the heart of the arena. his fur is bristled, all the way to his tail, but - he says nothing. just waits and watches. ]

Re: EXECUTION

[iamprettygreat]

[Well then, time to watch this happen. Sigrun sits to watch, arms crossed. Truthfully, she had half of her mind in not coming, but in the end decided it was necessary to finally put an end to her former friendship with Adlet]

[stunwhistle]

[ah...

well surprising no one will is, once again, glued to nico's side and holding his hand as he watches this.]

[axeswing]

[ day 5848844848 of a red head making vane stress out ]

[bottleking]

[ Ponta's here and once more looking almost entirely blank. He contemplated not coming, but ultimately he wants to know what is and isn't being said here.

Let's go, maiming time. ]

[becomemod]

[WHAT IS THIS OXEN ON OXEN VIOLENCE AAAA

They look like they're going to vibrate through their chair at this rate.]

[sharkgirl]

[ooooh, she's mad. she's so mad, she's standing up front as close as she can get, scowling.]

[doghouse]

[ datz is here, a little more stoic than usual, sticking close to hanako the whole time. ]

[squelching]

[oh, she looks so annoyed when adlet laughs right off the bat. but she sticks around, sitting as close to the barrier as possible, hands clenched around the hem of her dress.]

[ballies]

[ unsure if tama is even here for the whole thing, but she does show up, if only to see who is fighting with adlet today.


but, sheesh. oxen on oxen violence. ]

[inquired]

[ it took me this entire time to reply to this because i was hunting down an outfit while i still can validate me

anyway. temenos is here, sitting somewhere, staff of judgement across his lap. he's mostly silent, but his expression clouds over a touch when rita is the one to walk out, brows furrowing, entire posture going just slightly more tense


and then adlet does his i love you too rita and his expression changes into Fucking Really, but like as a face. ]

[aburage]

[ i woke up in time to be here yaaaay. however kogi is simply keeping to the back, looking rather unamused by these proceedings.

you know you've hecked up when even grandpappy isn't happy with you ]

[floridas]

[ well.

jolyne is here, just looking miserable and staring down the barrier. she's too wound up to sit, so she's standing, leaned up against a wall and watching with her arms folded tightly over her chest. ]

[foreverphantom]

[ hi I'm not here but Danny is, as always, watching intently ]

[becomemod]

[ Snake is here as usual, but their focus is on their team more than the fight at hand. ]
