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.

[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]

[exercisms]

[. . .

Okay. Then he will try to stand in his way, between him and the barrier. I mean, he's short. Just shoot above his head. But he's trying.]

Please, please. Put that away. This isn't right. To add to what already has to happen.

[antaressnipe]

... I admire you will, Mob. And am glad you have chosen to step up for what you believe.

[The bow still isn't being put away]

Even still, there are reasons for my choices. [He glances up to where the fight continues, expression neutral]

The only promise I will make is not to shoot until it is over.

[exercisms]

[That's not a helpful promise! That's exactly when he doesn't want him to shoot.]

Will it make a difference, then? I can understand if it was to save Ruler-san's life. But if. . .if something terrible happens, what good does it do for you to do something terrible as well?

[antaressnipe]

[... A quiet sigh]

I have my reasons, Mob, though I am aware that is hardly an answer to offer to console you.
