WEEK 5; EXECUTION

[killerwaves]

Execution

Like always, no one is forced to assemble on the sandbar for execution, but given the verdict of yesterday you might feel obliged to follow the kittybots for various reasons. Things have been cleared up since the mess of trial, as always, though no amount of effort can block out the continued muted wailing of the warped whirlpools over the waves -- they sound a bit closer, now, in fact. The shimmer of the phenomenon is visible from Seagull's Playground, too, as though peeking whimsically over the horizon at the fruits of its own labor.

And those fruits are quite visible, in the form of two figures paraded out in front of everyone once again, down in the bowl of the amphitheater.

The administrators are present as usual, as are the sundry kittybots with snacks; this week they're offering cute cookies perhaps (in)appropriately themed. And of course there's milk, because you can't serve cookies without them.

(( 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.))

[ After the events of yesterday, Xiao is looking much worse for wear. He's here, though, at the execution, standing very far back. His eyes are heavy as he watches the scene unfold in front of him. Maybe he should have stayed back, but it's too late, now. He has to be here, for Beel, for Crea...despite the very minute traces of a black aura surrounding him.

When he sees who steps forward to finish Beelzebub off, Xiao isn't even remotely surprised. Of course it'd be Temenos. Of course. ]

[…Ah.

This isn’t the first time he’s seen that black aura, faint as it may be, around Xiao, so Haruka immediately knows what it is.

(Thanks for nothing, Lobelia.)

He knows there’s a very real, physical danger to himself if he goes up to Xiao right now, so he stays where he’s seated even if he does shoot Xiao a concerned look.]

[ His eyes flicker upwards and he looks at Haruka. He tries to change his expression to something reassuring, something that will tell Haruka that he'll be fine...but it doesn't amount to much. There's only a ghost of a smile on his face before he flinches again. ]
