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.

[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.]

[hanaban]

[ GLUM ]

[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. ]

[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.]

[doghouse]

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

[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. ]

[WHAT IS THIS OXEN ON OXEN VIOLENCE AAAA

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

[hanaban]

[ yes please ]

[sharkgirl]

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

[becomemod]

[Oh. If he's up here then Ox will come stand with him too.]

It's okay. We'll go get her when this is over.

[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. ]

[tongshi]

[ help moves my tag up here bc we tagged each other at the same time.

he offers his hand down to them, nodding. ]

We will. I don't have any Remedies, but plenty of people who also care about her still do.

[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.]

[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.]

[sharkgirl]

[holds out a hand for her - she's standing very close to the barrier too.]

[tongshi]

[ GIRL SAME. gives a little snarl while adlet laughs. ]

[becomemod]

[They are going to take that hand and squeeze it tightly, thanks.]

Yeah, there's a few around. She'll be alright.

[Are they saying that to reassure Hung, or themselves?]

[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?

[doghouse]

[ gives him a supportive squeeze. ]
