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.

[Rufus watches in silence, listening and watching. At one point his expression takes a cross turn, but smooths out quickly enough. He won't look away, either.]

[dianxias]

[ looks EXTREMELY DISTRESSED at!!! ]

[uhhhmagic]

[damn virid that's fucked up]

Do we need to fight now?

[misstrust]

[ Her lips quirk faintly; it's an almost bitter smile. ]

Believe me, I hate this as much as you do. And I'm sure they know that too.

[siblingless]

But...!

[She looks like she has half a mind to yeet herself forward again, to keep hitting the barrier.]

What should we do? If we don't hurry, then Yona-san will have to kill him!

[robopriest]

...

[He looks at her, before staring at the guillotine.]

Its all rather like a nightmare, isn't it.

[Especially...for her.....yikes.]

[reconnective]

[that's a relief. he doesn't turn his eyes away too much, but just enough to glance at her.]

Should any of us? This isn't right. [this is really pretty extreme, actually, made worse by the fact yona's in there, too.]

[evocationary]

Yeah, rude? [ twins are a bad omen her ass ] I'd win, if we did, let's make that clear, but.

[uhhhmagic]

If you ask me, Realm seems a bit confused about the whole deal in general.

[bisouled]

[ Fiora's thinking is along the same lines. She's never seen a guillotine before, either, but it's easy enough to see what's about to happen. ]

... If it is, I don't know that it's what we should want.

[maidforservice]

[. . .]

[Sharon doesn't move, nor cry out, nor make a single noise as she watches the proceedings, hands folded neatly in front of her. she stays quiet, but that's because she's listening very carefully to the conversation Virid and Yona are having]

[. . .]

[supremity]

[ He offers his hand out to him, the same that would've had the red string on it if not for this increasingly fucked up place. ]

I know. [ Calm? Not really. ]

[uhhhmagic]

Full magic powers? I wouldn't get cocky about it, but, sure, if you wanna tell yourself that so you can sleep at night.

[dawnblushed]

[that is. also horrifying, honestly.

but virid wouldn't be saying this if he didn't think it was important, so yona bites her lip and listens as she tries to figure out how to work the guillotine. it... seems like there's something to pull on? she'll try that, once this is over.

for now, though...]

...you forgot your thirteenth birthday, then? [...] Did you remember what you've forgotten?

[robopriest]

Nobody wants this. We're not standing around because we want to. Believe me, if I had the capability, I'd go storming in there and demolish the thing in a second.

[He won't drag her back, he'll just keep holding her.]

We're stuck.

[antaressnipe]

[Openly scowling at all of this.

But he doesn't bother to move, either, just stands there with his hand tightening around his bow]

[exercisms]

Try to get through.

[Bucky said you have to try. I know he just thought he was saying something nice to a child, but you have to live with that now, that's the rules. Either go try or disappoint this child.]

We can't know for sure it's impossible.

[evocationary]

Oh, please. Let's see you take eight d6 of fireball damage and not cry about it.

[supremity]

[ A squeeze to her shoulder. ]

I don't like it any more than you do, Sumire. So, if you're going to try, don't do it by yourself.

[discernments]

If certain others were summoned in my stead, it'd be worse. I didn't have to personally experience this.

I won't look away.

[lionson]

[AND THEN HE HEARS THE TALK ABOUT TWINS

And for a moment there he's having an experience because wow that sure is a feeling.]

[misstrust]

Of course it's not right.

But I don't want to look away from this right now. I won't understand anything otherwise.

[ And honestly, she's not even sure watching it will help her, but. She sort of feels like she has a duty to, at this point. ]

[dianxias]

[ his other fist clenches, but xie lian does take hua cheng's hand and squeezes, hard. ]

...By killing someone, did he - [ as he's listening to virid's story, expression shifting into something near horror. ] ...did he remember?

[robopriest]

...I know you won't.

[She's just that kind of lady.]

[discernments]

[ She nods. ]

If it's because of how destabilized it is, I would rather we not find out what happens if it becomes more confused.
