//EXECUTION; WK2

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.))

I think it's more than just that. I think they're using this as a way to get a firsthand look at our abilities.

[dupiety]

Hmm. They should be familiar enough with how they operate to write such detailed information on our profiles, but I suppose you could be right. Studying and observing are two different things.

[He nods.]

We know they certainly don't lack the ability to handle this part themselves if they wanted.

[dupiety]

Indeed. However, there is an additional psychological impact to having us carry out the execution. The longer this goes on and the more we come to know one another, the more difficult these trials and executions will become. I would not be surprised if lowering our morale enough to stop resisting is part of their strategy.

[The admins know what they're doing.]

[... oh, he hates this. He hates that Temenos is probably exactly right.]

... using our own emotions against us. I can't even say I'm surprised after what we've seen of them so far.

[dupiety]

[He is, unfortunately, far too familiar with these tactics.]

Precisely.
