WEEK ZERO: REMOVAL

[retellers]

WEEK ZERO: REMOVAL (41 remain) Time to wake up, participants of the Realm. At 8am, everyone will receive a message on their PHS. Please be at the plaza by 9am. Even if the participants ignore the message (or are sleeping in, shame on them), as 9am approaches they will fall victim to a compulsion to head to the specified location. Three Leaders, Fox, Rabbit, and Wolf, are already present, Virid with them. Wolf (again) speaks. "... Everyone's here now, so we'll learn what needs to be done soon." Once they finish speaking, an alert goes off from a PHS in the crowd—specifically, Yona's. Her PHS displays a simple message. You have been selected to remove Virid Visette Viridian. Regardless of her will, she will feel compelled to walk towards the scene. No other participant will be able to interfere; should they try, a barrier blocks their way.

[ Oh for--he doesn't know enough about history to debate this or even care about it. ]

Well it might as well be medieval.

[exercisms]

[Good idea. Hitting the wall with wimpy little arms.]

[robopriest]

[Hello, clone. Hansa just shakes his head.]

They have to do something to discourage more of this. But how barbaric...

[evocationary]

[ she is not nearly protagonist for this but she will try to bang on the barrier with her fist. it's... an attempt. ]

I think we might just be here for the ride, little man. [ :\ ]

[exercisms]

[Hello it's a lost water bottle.]

We should try. . .! Shouldn't we?

[dawnblushed]

[she just shoots people!! let her live!!

she's. kind of glancing back at the leaders as if they can get her out of this? ...but they're stuck at the barrier too, and she swallows hard before looking from the guillotine back to virid.

she learns fast, but this isn't something she wanted to have to learn.]

...what do you want to ask?

[misstrust]

[ Well. Hm.

Dorothy is not going to do the shounen/shoujo/JRPG protagonist thing of trying to break the barrier or screaming at them to stop, but there's a rather uncharacteristic look on her face-- something pained as she watches. ]

This is too cruel...

[exercisms]

[It's not really that he expects to succeed. He just thinks that they should try, so banging on the barrier helps.]

We might not be able to do anything, but at least -

[favourable]

[...]

Do you remember what you've forgotten?

[evocationary]

[ she bites her lip. ]

I mean, he did kill Pikachu like. Right in front of us, but this is probably what I'd call an extreme reaction.

[uhhhmagic]

More medieval than stabbing someone with a sword?

[stillnot]

Well, this is fucked up.

[misstrust]

You've already seen that the barrier isn't going to let any of us through.

[ Her own gaze flashes, her voice sharpening. ]

And I don't want to see you get hurt when it won't amount to anything.

[infreefall]

N-No... Is this really the only way to remove him? There has to be something else we can do...

[lionson]

[Yeah he is not surprised by this turn of events, but he still does seem upset.]

Oh come on, why her?

[laid]

[God doing this in front of all of these KIDS. Raven puts a hand on her shoulder.]

You'd better not look.

[dawnblushed]

[yona sort of... pauses, and then shakes her head.

...and then realizes he probably can't see that from where he's situated to get his head chopped off, so. she speaks up.]

No.

[heartablaze]

[trying to yank it back, her eyes on the both of them]

That doesn't matter!!! Why is it having Yona do this????

This isn't right!!

[uhhhmagic]

Probably!

[Apparently one word observations are today's theme. Just adjusting his hat so he can get a better view.]

Whole think is kinda hinky to begin with, so not really sure where to start drawing lines in the sand about it.

[frostythehitman]

Try what, exactly?

[robopriest]

It isn't right.

[His voice is level, and his grip is strong. He somehow is able to stand here, his expression set in a grim look as he keeps it focused on Hikaru.]

She's more capable than you think. Unfortunately, it seems like the Realm is too chicken to do the deed itself.

[exercisms]

I won't be hurt.

[He really won't be. What are a few fists, some scraped knuckles? That's nothing.]

The ones who will be hurt are Viridian-san and Yona-san, if they think we didn't try to fight for them. Even now, you're worried about me, but don't they deserve it, too?

[evocationary]

[ idk where he's at, but she gives him a little concerned look when she hears his voice. ]

[frostythehitman]

That's normal combat weapon stuff. A guillotine is like...a custom made execution machine! It's different.

[heartablaze]

No! I can't just stand here, Raven-san...!!!

[She's already barrier punching with Mob so let's just pretend that happens here.]
