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.

[Truly fuck you barrier.

Soo-won watches, observes - and it's because he knows what Jeanne is capable of now that she's aware of an attack that he worries less immediately. he regains parts of his calm]

.... because it is a system designed for us to fail.

But we will not.

[whether it be here, now, or later - they will find a way to prevail

even still - he continues to press against the barrier if only because the human part of him feels that he must at least try]

[siblingless]

Then, it's one that ought to be abolished and destroyed. I won't stand for a system that condemns the innocent and forces them to dirty their hands like this!

[Banging! Her fists! Some more! Her hands are going to hurt like a bitch after this, but it's fine? It's fine. She can't blame Kano for fighting for his life, but she doesn't want him to become a murderer either. Fuck.]

[ . . . . . he watches, and it's when jeanne reaches for the air lock trigger that he similarly reaches for her hands before they continue to slam against the barrier]

Neither will I.

But you cannot harm yourself before victory, else you give them an advantage.

[She moves as if to pull out of his grip, but ultimately doesn't. Instead, she hisses out a breath while squeezing her eyes shut.]

Then what should I do?

[recrowns]

[normally he is so good at giving commands - but gentle direction is admittedly harder, in a place like this. in front of gentle hearts.]

.... hold onto the fire of your anger, and burn them with it.

[he holds her hands, gentle and tries to smooth over where they're red from impact]

Once we discern who our enemy is, we will know where to strike.
