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, just like before. You arrive at the 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 face somehow awful during this moment before someone dies.

"Good morning. Shall we begin this execution?"

It would take too long to explain, let me show you:

[He hunts around for the empty vial, and tears off the label that says Medic's Poison.]

See for yourself, Rips.

[Under the first label, there's another one that reads: Greetings! This is a Potion of Exorcism. When consumed, any spirits possessing the drinker will be purified and removed from the drinker's body. However, if you tell anyone the exact effects of this potion, it will turn into tap water and be rendered useless. Be careful, and have fun!

So, that sure happened.]

[Ripley takes the bottle, reading over the label. And then looking at it again, just to be sure she read it right.

There's a long pause. And then she starts laughing.]

Holy shit, I can't believe that fucking worked. What were the chances that the Staff would give you something that could actually help us?

[The absolute madman, pulling out all the stops.]

I know right? I think they gave it to me because they thought I'd screw it up somehow.

[He laughs again and looks over at The Lady.]

You see that? Your little ploy didn't work one bit!

[Ripley snorts, putting the bottle down.]

That leaves one less monster to worry about. Hell, you're practically our hero.

[As soon as the words leave her mouth, an expression of regret seems to wash onto her face.]

[You're right Ripley, because as regret washes over her face, an incredibly smug look.]

"Our hero", huh? Mind repeating that again for the whole class to hear?

No.

[Her response is incredibly sullen as she crosses her arms, glaring at him.]

I'd say don't let it go to your head, but that's probably already happened.

[He leans in slightly, smugger than ever.]

What, Rips? Can't handle the fact that I was able to kill one of those monsters and save an innocent life at the same time? I thought you were more mature than to let your pettiness control your emotions.

[Ripley rolls her eyes as she raises a single arm to push him back.]

I thought you knew me well enough to know that I'm not petty, thanks. [She says, being incredibly petty.] Shouldn't you be off kissing your boyfriends in celebration or something?

[Winks at her.]

You don't have to tell me twice!

[And then that whole thing with Snake happens.]
