Week 6: Execution
week 6:
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, Will walks into the arena. On the opposite end of the field, Nico 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.

[ temenos is slow compared to 95% of the people rushing down the stairs, but he pushes through the (very small remaining living) crowd now that he's got whatever he was digging out of his bag with a move, move.
once he gets to the two of them, he drops down to his knees and puts a remedy down next to nico for will to use on nico first. and then, urgently: Look at me. Will, look at me.
no subject
slowly, he looks over.]
...Temenos? [his voice is a little raspy.] I'm... am I alive?
no subject
the second he opens his mouth he shoves a spoonful of an ice cream sundae in it.
sorry for the brain freeze but also get healed, clown ] Yes, let's keep it that way.
no subject
okay. he swallows the spoonful of ice cream sundae on impulse.
he is not crispy anymore. and all of his other injuries are faded? his stomach doesn't hurt from getting kicked anymore. the acid burns on his neck that he's had at each of the trials are gone.
on his cheek, there are still some faint claw scars, but - it seems like that's about it.]
How...?
no subject
okay. with that out of the way, he smiles - this time warmer, less concerned, a little helplessly, and reaches out to pat him on his cheek. ]
I've not a clue. Perhaps it was mayoral intervention. [ stop ] Or perhaps we just ought not to look a gift horse [ emotions ] in the mouth.
[ the little pat turns into just like. briefly cupping his cheek like an affectionate uncle. wah. ] ... Either way, how lucky we all are, for it.

[but he is, like, pretty sure he was dead. he felt like he was dying. he has been on the brink of death before and this felt different - more final - and yet, here he is again.
he chuckles a little helplessly and leans into temenos's hand.]
I - yeah, I feel... I feel really lucky right now.
[he's holding onto nico, who is still unconscious, and he's alive. somehow. what the fuck.]
