WEEK ONE: REMOVAL

[retellers]

WEEK ONE: REMOVAL (38 remain) Time to wake up, participants of the Realm. At 8am, everyone will receive a message on their PHS. Docking bay in space. 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, Tiger, Swan, and Goat, are already present, Kano with them. Tiger speaks. "Let's... just get this over with." Once they finish speaking, an alert goes off from a PHS in the crowd—specifically, Jeanne's. Her PHS displays a simple message. You have been selected to remove Shuuya Kano. 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, though it won't harm them.

[ she's standing close to the barrier, hands clasped before her as she watches. ]

[reconnective]

[he'll just wander over to her, gently bumping his shoulder with hers. he's not saying anything, but they can at least watch together instead of being alone.]

[infreefall]

[ she glances over at him for a moment, and if sora lets her, she'll take his hand in both of hers. together, then. ]

[reconnective]

[handholding it is. they'll have time to talk later, but for now it's important for them to observe everything.]

[infreefall]

[ well, that happened, and now her grip is getting tighter. ]

Kano-san! Ruler-san!

[reconnective]

[THIS IS BAD?]

Wait! [it's too late, but...this can't be happening. can it?] We have to do something!

[ok. like what. there are no suggestions here but AHHHH?]

[infreefall]

[ she's still moving. she's fighting back, so they can't give up on jeanne yet. ]

I... I have the gun with me, so if we have to use it...

[reconnective]

[there's a sharp nod.]

Get ready. If we can save her, we shouldn't waste the chance. [he does not realize xl also has his gun ready but that's okay.] No one else has to die. Not like this.

[infreefall]

[ nods and releases sora's hands to reache for her glock instead i guess ]

[reconnective]

[that's fine, with his free hands he's now able to punch the barrier.]

Why are there three of them?

[infreefall]

[ how did he get so many?

jeanne pulls the lever, kano slits his own throat, and the gun shakes in ochako's hands. please be okay, ruler-san, please. ]

But what if - what if this kills her, too?

[ hard to avoid an open airlock, you know. ]

[reconnective]

[there's so much happening here that it's too hard to know what to focus on.]

She just has to hang on. She can, right? Just long enough for the door to close again. [to what? there must be something, somehow, but...this is pretty grim, fam.]

[infreefall]

If there's something for her to hold onto.

[ the lever, maybe? she doesn't know, this is horrifying. ]

But the lack of air... I don't know if this could help with that.

[reconnective]

[he's about to say something but then...the door closes. and jeanne's there.

...he will simply move out of the way in case ochako wants to shoot jeanne anytime soon.]

[recrowns]

[he's going to suggest - ]

She's had poor experience with fire. Let her know what's going to happen first.

[he says like he's not going to run for her immediately]

[infreefall]

[ she was planning to tell jeanne first anyway but that does make her pause, mortified, but ochako does nod. ]

I will.

[dianxias]

[ tearing his eyes away from the scene in front of them to look at ochako and give her a solemn nod! its all yours, hero ]
