WEEK 1 EXECUTION

[foundationmods]

EXECUTION

Just like before, you all get up in the morning...but you know that after today, there will be less of you.

The Lady appears again, leading you all up the stairs to the third floor, past whatever glimpses of the upper floors you might get. This time, it's to a chapel - where a screen near the altar is already playing a video, the sound of the most beautiful instrument in the world washing over you all as you take a seat in the pews.

The Lady puts down some tarp near the altar, as if expecting this to get messy. When she's finished, she sets her gaze on all of you, her beautiful somehow awful during this moment before someone dies.

"Good morning. Shall we begin this execution?"

Comments

[purrtagonist]

[uuunlike yesterday, when his anger boiled over like a pot of pasta, Akira is. . . relatively calm as they file into the chapel. he takes a seat in one of the pews and watches, arms folded and legs crossed, the opaque lenses of his glasses hiding his expression. the only evidence that this whole charade doesn't sit right with him is the way his fingers dig tightly into his upper arm, knuckles white]

[. . . anyway also he's a little bruised today?? there's a cut on one of his cheeks, too. and if someone is paying attention, they may notice the white splash of bandages poking out from underneath one sleeve.]

[whirlingmace]

[ HM

She'll plop down next to him to touch the cut. Tilting her head. ]

Sataling, why are you covered in boo boos?

[purrtagonist]

[inclines his head towards her in return, but refuses to tear his gaze away from the happenings on the altar]

. . . this isn't about me.

[it's about Medic :(]

[whirlingmace]

[ :<

She sees his knuckles and more bandages peeking out. Just going to carefully put her hand over his to give it a squeeze. ]

Okay. Later then.

[purrtagonist]

[starts a bit in surprise, eyes flickering down to where her hand meets his, and then up to her]

Ah. . .

[???????]

All right. Later, then.

[dereban]

Aaaare you okay?

[ She's trying so hard not to sound concerned, but she sure as hell is. ]

[purrtagonist]

Yeah. I'm okay.

[please he can handle a few scrapes and bruises]

[dereban]

[ She's just going to stare at him judgmentally in a way that says 'I don't believe you' but aloud she says: ]

Okay, if you say so. I'll talk to you later after. All of this bullshit.

[ Since now is not the time for it. ]

[rosebridled]

[ just looks at him from a few seats away after overhearing the previous questions. ]

[purrtagonist]

[he seems to be answering that he's okay and/or deflecting the topic of conversation away from himself and towards Medic]

[tacticalespionageaction]

What did I tell you?

[He is not in the mood to hear you got into a fight today, Akira.]

[purrtagonist]

[LISTEN. . .]

. . . don't pick unnecessary fights?

[he remembers!1 and looks kind of sheepish as Snake scolds him, because adults???]

[tacticalespionageaction]

What did you do?

[Better have been necessary.]

[theycallhimmrpchan]

[Looks like he wasn't the only one who had the same idea, he glances over - quietly assessing things]

[purrtagonist]

[did we all do stupid things yesterday after the trial to blow off steam]

[looks over at Ryoga too, also quietly assessing things]

[theycallhimmrpchan]

[He's got cuts on his hands, and what looks to be the start of bruising on his cheek and collarbone and given his clothes, it's hard to tell if he has anything else, but yes he does]

[13thpromise]

[ ...

Every single time. Jeez, Akira. ]

[purrtagonist]

[he must have a reputation for being a hardheaded, reckless pseudo-shounen at this point]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He's helpful. ]

[latebluemer]

[She's at the back of the pews, but she's eagle-eyed enough to catch the injuries as he passes and give him a bit of the good ol' side-eye. She's not going to say anything, though. Since he didn't go and get himself eaten by an actual spider overnight, we're good.

Also she kind of gets it.]

[purrtagonist]

[sometimes a good fight is what a pseudo-shounen needs to clear his head]

[latebluemer]

[This is why card games on hoverboards exist in her world. Without them, they'd probably have knock-down drag-out shounen fights all the time because she's surrounded by headstrong idiots and is not a hypocrite at all.]

[justonezero]

[He's staring at Akira too, trying to see if his eyes can catch the extent of Akira's injuries.]

[purrtagonist]

[they aren't bad! just some bruises on his back from being tossed around, the light scrape on his cheek, and a deeper cut on his lower arm. that's the cut that's bandaged, probably]

[Akira is pretty sure he knows what Yoshi is doing, so when he catches him staring he just. arches a brow]

[justonezero]

[Yoshi continues to look unabashed. Hmmm...

Well if Makoto hasn't realized it herself, maybe he'll just tattle to her later.]
