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, to be French and see a guillotine.

Jeanne's expression hardens, and her hands curl into fists at her side. The barriers are clear. ]

Is this what the Realm wants?

[ She won't look away and pays close attention. ]

[robopriest]

...

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

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

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

[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.

[robopriest]

...I know you won't.

[She's just that kind of lady.]

[discernments]

We must not forget—if we're able.

[ If this, too, isn't something that won't be taken away from them. ]

And we must not stop because of it.

[robopriest]

[That is a terrible thought - that they'll all just forget this, and everything will go back to normal.]

Someone better write it down, I suppose. [He mutters to himself.] Lets just hope we won't have to see this whole thing again.

[discernments]

[ Or Virid can just drop his lore and Jeanne bites her lip, hard.

She takes a deep breath. ]

We might just, yet.

[robopriest]

[Hansa raises his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose.]

May the Holy Father help us. Of course there would be a twist like that...

[uhhhmagic]

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

[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.

[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.

[discernments]

You shouldn't have to want this.

[ She thinks, you shouldn't, but everyone has their choices, their own feelings. ]

What we need do is find out if there's a way to make it better. If the Realm reacts to what we do, can we do something about this?

[bisouled]

There has to be. We can't do this again. [ shaking her head. ] I'll talk to one of them.

[chanteuser]

Would that thing be here if it wasn't?

[discernments]

You're right, but if there's so much disturbance, is it what it truly wants?

[chanteuser]

Whether it truly wants it or not, it's still happening.

[lionson]

I want to say it can't be, but.

[Yeah it probably is.

This is the catch he had been looking for since day 1.]

[discernments]

It is what is happening before us. We must witness it, and we must decide how to move forward from it, carrying it in our hearts.

[ They have to do what they can. ]
