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.

[Chiron says nothing for the most part

But when Kano makes his choice is when he casually unstraps his bow and takes an arrow into his hand]

[bisouled]

-- Stop it! Who would you even shoot?

[ both of them are innocent... ]

[antaressnipe]

Calm yourself. I have not made a judgment call.

[bisouled]

Neither of them should be dying, and you know it.

[antaressnipe]

And yet one of them will.

[arkitect]

I wouldn't suggest trying to stop him, should it come to that.

[emet-selch is lingering nearby, arms folded, glancing between the backstabbing and this.]

[bisouled]

People are already dying where I can't help them. I'm not going to let someone else be hurt where I can.

[arkitect]

If she were to die, then you would watch someone be murdered and restrain others from exacting the same in turn?

[fully neutral, head slightly tilted-- he doesn't sound like he necessarily thinks that's what should happen, but it is the way of these things.]

[exercisms]

[And then he's looking up at him in horror, as well.]

Archer-san! You, too?

[antaressnipe]

[Glancing down at him]

I have not made a shot, but neither will I hesitate if I think it necessary to kill.

[exercisms]

Why would it be necessary? None of it is necessary!

[He's actually growing visibly upset now, clenching his fist in his pocket, but still looking away from the barrier.]

She shouldn't have to die, and he shouldn't have to die, and Cater and Sharon shouldn't have to die, and no one should have to kill anyone!

Enough, enough, enough!

[antaressnipe]

[... Sorry, Mob.

Chiron just looks at him mildly, but won't put his bow away]

[uhhhmagic]

Jeezity cree- How good of a shot are you, dude?

[antaressnipe]

I was taught by the Goddess of the Hunt herself.

I will not miss if I must shoot.

[laid]

Hey, teach, ain't this one innocent person killing another either way?

[Why don't you have a piece of bread and maybe you'll calm down.]

[uhhhmagic]

Uh, yeah, but one of the innocent people isn’t exactly innocent anymore! Notice the stabbing?!

[laid]

If it was you in there can ya really say you wouldn't do whatever ya could to stay alive?

[antaressnipe]

In a sense, yes.

[At no point did he deny that]

[laid]

So what exactly are ya planning to accomplish with that thing?

[antaressnipe]

Whatever I must.

[arkitect]

[anyway, as the protesting happens, emet-selch just gives him a sidelong look with one brow arched.

really, this is what happens when you adopt the kids.]

[antaressnipe]

[Don't








He's aware already]

[papasha]

[He exchanges a glance with Archer, but doesn't say anything, or not, or shake his head.

His eyes seem to understand.]

[antaressnipe]

[Considering it's Blanca?

... Chiron is not surprised.

But he just glances over at him for a moment, then returns his eyes to the scene. His expression never changes]

[antaressnipe]

[And seeing Kano essentially end the fight on his own terms, well--

The bow isn't put away, but Chiron does finally lower it... and paces back and forth because the barrier is still up and Jeanne is still in there and he is just waiting, patiently, for the moment he can leap in if necessary]
