WEEK 4; EXECUTION

[killerwaves]

Execution

The haze still lingers over the islands, snaking through with a low thrum. Today it's time to fix that, to enact some semblance of justice for Kallamar. As for Skywarp's killer, for now they'll continue to walk free.

The setup is much the same as it was two weeks ago with Overhaul and Shigaraki present, willing participants guided by the kittybots to the sandbar. There's popcorn offered again, though this time there's also the addition of popcorn shrimp, perhaps to keep in trend with the offerings from trial.

Settle in to watch the show, the two figures standing in the middle in clear view.

(( 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.))

Re: EXECUTION

[finalforte]

[Kanon is here! Her makeup is a mess from crying, and she's obviously not as confident on her feet now, but she's still got some tricks up her sleeve.

Also, a sword. A katana, in fact! Hopefully it's cool if she borrows Tenkuuzakura, it's not like anyone needs that in one piece or anything.]

[dakicover]

[ on the other end, the figure is less detailed. shrouded in black from head to toe and a hoodie covering his eyes, one might almost miss crea dragging his feet into the area. his demeanor is of one that's been forced to take an annoying task or chore, and his voice shows it just as well. ]

What a pain... I don't usually do things in this manner, but these overseers are unreasonable. They gave her a sword and everything.

[ with a heavy sigh, he places his hand on his hip--or, to be more exact, the sword on his hip, and removes it...

only to toss it far away from him. ]

I don't need this. [ a pause. a tilt of his head. ] What'd'ya wanna say? Any last words?

[stilllovesyou]

[Initially, Nona set herself up a bit away from everyone, sitting in a hunched over position, watching through tired eyes as Kanon enters the arena with her sword. She thinks that Kanon looks like a great big beautiful balloon that's slowly leaking air. Or a puppy that's been drenched in rainwater.

Then Crea shows up and her eyes widen into something more closely resembling fear.]

Crea?

[necrotiem]

[

That is to say, she seems to be enjoying herself.]

[plunges]

[ Likewise, he's also shocked to see Crea standing there. He knows firsthand that Crea is strong, a formidable opponent, and that he's discording the sword at his side shows that he's confident in his capabilities to fend for himself.

...Xiao hopes that's true, at least. All they can do is watch.

He stands next to Nona and places a hand on her shoulder. ]

He will be okay.

[ But he knows she's concerned for Kanon, too. ]

[dancing_flames]

[Shuda's here (still down one (1) metal hand, though with shrapnel wounds healed thanks to Psyche and Temenos) in part because he feels largely responsible for the events of yesterday. He started this, and he's going to see it through to the very end, because maybe that will make that tiny twinge of guilt that's been plaguing him ever since the trial finally go away.

... and then he sees what she's carrying and his face goes sheet-white.]

Don't you DARE!

[He looks like he's about to make a break for it...]

[finalforte]

...Are you joking?

[She grins nervously - it looks more like a grimace.]

Don't try to pretend now. It's not like you ever cared what Kanon said before!

[Her eyes followed the blade as he tosses it aside, and perhaps predictably she points at it - creating a large explosion, destroying the blade from any usable state.

It's not the only thing. She snaps her arm in Crea's direction, sending smaller explosions right in his face to try to take him down quick. Those with sharp eyes may just notice the sleight of hand at work, the rings vanishing from her fingers in a surprisingly quick and smooth movement.]

[microtransactions]

You realize that letting her know that it's valuable to you will probably get it destroyed faster, right...

[stilllovesyou]

I know... I just don't like it.

I'm not worried about Kanon. Kanon's already dead, because we killed her.

[conceivesfrenzy]

[ Alice is just here with a thing of popcorn for her and a thing of popcorn shrimp for Athos.

She's more interested in seeing what Crea does, at this point. ]

1/2

[dakicover]

[ it's true that crea doesn't care about what kanon wants to say. but he figured that others did and therefore should have a right to hear her last words. her deciding against it doesn't sway him one way or the other. he simply needs to finish this job and go back to his cabana.

if they'll even take him in after this.

of course, the explosion is to be expected. sharp sword parts come flying, and crea has to set a barrier to block them. they bounce away from him and into the ground. ]

[finalmix]

She's definitely going to explode it if you don't keep your voice down.

[ is on team let shuda cook though, so he doesn't make a move to restrain him if he's gonna run into the arena....... ]

[plunges]

[ joshua christ mcjesusbeam, help ]

...That we did.

[ He won't argue against that. ]

[microtransactions]

[ magolor does not show up in his usual manner of just walking like anybody else; anyone who was at the waterfall last week after maxeta will recognize the way he lets himself fall out of the void onto the sandbar.

honestly, how big is this sandbar anyway, considering the risk of shrapnel injury for the audience with who's out there? well, whatever. he's parking himself by one of the kittybots to just Watch. ]

[chrysaline]

[ Psyche is very distracted by her bestie being extremely Normal about executions, and it's not like she can physically prevent Shuda from doing anything. But still: ]

Shuda! Don't!

[ listen to the popcorn shrimp gallery, they're correct ]

[divector]

[ Moravia's around, like last time this occurred. She stands up straight and tall; if the breeze moves her hair, people will see a pinkish red ribbon fluttering where it should be. And once again she gets popcorn (shrimp), but doesn't move to eat them. Her eyes linger on the two chosen. ]

2/2 gore tw

[dakicover]

[ but even as he takes a step back, ready to raise another barrier, he realizes a failure on his part.

he had never bothered to try his abilities on the island. he knew that they worked, but not to the full extent. when the spell fails to complete, there's a sudden look of surprise as he tries to step away from the sight of the exploding jewelry. his sight is fast, with years of hunting and fighting under his belt, but there's only so much speed that he can add to his body. even if he steps away from it he-- ]

Ah-

[ what he feels first isn't the sharp pain of shrapnel digging into his jugular and windpipe, but a sudden inability to breathe and a drowning sensation. the sleight of hand did it's work beautifully, as crea has to quickly run back, holding his throat in hopes of staunching the bleeding. ]

not even a minute later-

[plunges]

[ ...Hm.

Hm. ]

...

[passetemps]

[ zelkov is watching this very closely and frowning very hard. ]

1/????

[finalforte]

[She sees that, and it emboldens her, marching forwards with the sword held (completely incorrectly) at her side. But, even that's fine.

It's not like she needs to know how to use the sword to use it, and judging by the cries of their audience everyone knows exactly how that's going to go down already.]

Hyaha? What's this?

[diabolizes]

[ Wow! He doesn’t like this! ]

2/????

[finalforte]

What's this, what's this?

Kanon's power is super powerful after all~?

Hyahaha!

[gluttoning]

CREA!!

[Bad! BAD! Fuck the beach peanut gallery and fuck all that he is running--]
