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.

No, she doesn't look mad at all.

[also, fucking mood. she looks so fucking annoyed.]

Say, what do you think would happen if one of the berries landed in his mouth?

[floridas]

[ assigns her close enough at some point bc time is fake. baby boy. just places a hand on his shoulder for a little while. ]

[becomemod]

[ Honestly, mood ]

[hanaban]

[ Jolyne... ):

Hanako sitting here with two hands held, one on his head, another on his shoulder.

One more shoulder left for any takers in the crowd ]

[tongshi]

[ yeah the oxen are not having a great sunday to sunday week, really.

but his hand drops from hanako's head to give a squeeze to the back of his neck after he gets pat. ]

[squelching]

[this seems like normal human behavior to her? no one has ever told her otherwise? it's fine.]

Mhmm, that's the idea.

[floridas]

Easy... I know... but she's got this. We know she does.

[ she scratches gently at his fur. just a quiet, steady motion. it's not great to see her down there, in fact, it makes her a bit sick. but she has her eyes glued on rita, like maybe it'll help. ]

[squelching]

[sorry she is like this]

[querencias]

[ he can't dodge like this. at least not while she's continuing without missing a beat. what he can do is not wise. but that has never stopped him, as evidenced by the entirety of the past week, the past four years of his life.

(if he was capable of self-hate maybe he'd think dying with his family would have been better than all of this? but he's not. that simply doesn't exist within him.)

this time he reaches up from his crouch, grabs the apple in mid-air, and then runs at her with it, injuries at all. this type of pain doesn't mean anything when he's used to fighting with broken bones, bullet wounds, and more. this is absolutely going to suck though, but maybe it'll be mutual. ]

[sharkgirl]

[oh i'm sorry did you think this was nimona not being totally into that because you're wrong this was an a of "you're my favorite"]

[axeswing]

[ maybe we don’t need a therapist but instead an exorcist ]

[inquired]

[ don't ask temenos to tell you what's normal


anyway he's just watching now as adlet grabs the apple bomb in mid air and starts running?!?! he fully believes rita is smart enough to deal with this so it's fine ]

... An idiot, through and through...

[inquired]

[ unfortunately the priest you have is me ]

[inquired]

[ he'll look briefly over at them wherever they're settled if they want to come stand over here and watch!! man. this is wild. ]

[resumed]

[ tilting his head to watch. ]

...at least she's mad. That's a plus. [ and then fruit is exploding and he closes his eyes tiredly. ] The downside is he knows how his own power works. So she'll have to watch herself.

[squelching]

[someone hand reigen and temenos a baby leash doused in holy water. close enough.]

[tongshi]

[ watches adlet pick up the most recent apple and bristles up more. ]

She needs to stay away from him, is the problem -

[squelching]

[nimona... truly an ouroboros loop of teen violence.]

[rizomata]

[ There are a few ways Rita could anticipate Adlet responding to her attack. Maybe he'd find a way to dodge or deflect the apple. Even though it looks like she has him on the ropes, she knows well enough how unpredictable he can be when backed against a wall.

But.

Apparently she didn't know well enough, because she sure didn't expect him to grab a bomb seconds away from detonation and just run at her with it!! ]

No — What are you...

Stay away!!

[ She tries to back away and swing her satchel at him — not that it would do much, but just to try to impede this guy before he brings this bomb right back to her like this is the most unfortunate game of fetch. ]

[sharkgirl]

You know when you hit a watermelon with a hammer?

[ballies]

[ is he near enough for a gentle head pat because she will give him a gentle head pat ]

[squelching]

[she, too, thinks rita can handle herself. so this is fine.]

And he'll go out like an idiot, too...

[ballies]

[ stop i need feeding vicariously ]

[hananobooks]

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

[becomemod]

[Well now Adlet is running at her with an apple bomb.]

Rita! Move!
