//EXECUTION; WK2

[killerwaves]

Execution

Come Sunday morning, another announcement rings out through the island, though you probably have a better idea what it's about, and of the person speaking on the other end. According to your administrators, two sacrifices per week are required, and that time has come.

Unlike earlier, the kitty bots won't force anyone to go, but they will cheerfully inform all island goers that the execution is starting soon and they shouldn't miss out! The sandbar has also reappeared, a fitting enough stage for condemning a life as well as taking one. Both your administrators are present, along with two figures directly in the middle of the amphitheater.

(( OOC: Executions are voluntary except for the executed and executioner. The path back to the island will also remain for the entirety of the execution, so characters may leave whenever they wish as well.))

So much for no more spectacle.

[ crea is here in the peanut gallery, looking mildly troubled as he waits for it to start.

he raises an eyebrow at the kittybots bringing popcorn, holding back a grimace. ]

Maybe I’m not one to talk, but do we really have no sanctity for life in this place?

1/2

[hearnoplague]

Be quiet, would you?

[ You are being judged by a cultist in full cultist mode... ]

I would be more concerned with the sacrifice still having his weapon-

2/2

[hearnoplague]

[ And then he gets rudely interrupted by a kittybot. Popcorn? Popcorn! ]

Ugh, off with you, mechanical pest!

[ He attempts to shoo the kittybot away to little avail. ]

[dakicover]

[ he’s going to keep his opinion about being told to shut up by a squid to himself.

instead, he glances at the popcorn being offered by the kittybot, and ignores it. ]

Guess it doesn’t really matter who’s the second sacrifice, so long as there is one.

[dancing_flames]

[Dryly:]

What was your first clue?

[dakicover]

Listen, I thought we had hit rock bottom, I didn’t think they’d keep digging.

[dancing_flames]

People can always keep digging. Or at least keep trying to dig.

[It's one of the reasons why he doesn't have a single regret about bailing on Demon Card.]

[dakicover]

Fair enough, but why drag us along for the ride? Why not let the seagulls peck him or put him in a barrel and throw hin into the ocean instead.

[ like, why. ]

At least Xiao looks reliable.

[dancing_flames]

To make it easier for us to be willing to kill, maybe. Once you've done it... it's not as hard the second time around.

[microtransactions]

... You've talked to the guys running this, right?

[ just saying, like. metaphorically gestures at them. ]

[dakicover]

Sorry for thinking people have some standards and that my boss’ insanity was one of a kind.

[ shrugs. ]

[microtransactions]

Your boss?

[dakicover]

Hm?

[ he tilts his head. ]

Yeah. Is there something weird about it?

[microtransactions]

No, I just don't think you've mentioned them before, that's all.

[gluttoning]

[Right? Ouch.]

[dakicover]

[ he’ll go over to beelz and pat him on the shoulder. ]

I don’t think you have to be here, y’know.

[gluttoning]

Yeah, I know.

[And here he is, nonetheless.]

I don't want to be tricked any more. So I'm watching until the end.

[dakicover]

…

[ crea nods, watching quietly the execution unfold. something about what sonya says…

… ]

He’s a really dramatic guy, isn’t he?

[gluttoning]

Yeah.

They live differently in the City. From what I've heard, anyway.

Maybe it's better, that it's two people who are familiar with the same world. There's some sort of even playing field.

[plunges]

[ Xiao looks...uncomfortable, more so than usual. ]

No. It seems like we don't.

[ Here's a serious answer. ]

[dakicover]

I guess we gotta set our expectations even lower.

[ … ]

Are you ok?

[plunges]

I'm fine.

[ He puts a hand to his forehead. ]

...I'm simply not fond of this being made into some kind of performance. Death is not something that should be seen as entertaining.

[ stares at lobelia and skywarp ]

[dakicover]

[ also glances at lobelia and skywarp, though he quickly focuses again on the execution. ]

There’s no reasoning with those type of people. [ … ] Though it is a bit unsettling to think about this giving them some sort of inspiration.

[stilllovesyou]

None.

[dakicover]

I expect nothing and I’m still let down.
