WEEK TWO: REMOVAL

[retellers]

WEEK TWO: REMOVAL (35 remain) Time to wake up, participants of the Realm. At 8am, everyone will receive a message on their PHS. Howling Rose at 9 AM. 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, Wolf, Fox, and Rabbit, are already present, Shima with them. Fox speaks. "... You know what's coming. I'm sorry." Once they finish speaking, an alert goes off from a PHS in the crowd—specifically, Izumo's. Her PHS displays a simple message. You hav̨e been se̴l͏e͢ct̀e͠d͞ ̶t͘o̢ re͏mo̡ve Renzou Shima. 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.

EXECUTION

[retellers]

[ Once Izumo is selected, Shima will move against his own will towards the plank, and Izumo following behind him. A small pirate sword manifests in her hand, presumably to make Shima walk. ]

[yamantaka]

[ for the briefest of moments, the smile on shima's face breaks into a frown, one that's upset about it having to end up this way, but just as quickly the smile is back on his face. he stands at the edge of the plank, ready to walk across it. ]

Oh, Izumo-chan~ If someone had to remove me, I'm glad it's you!

[ a beat ]

Although, I don't think I'll be able to end with my head in your lap.

[sacredchants]

[ she never even bothered to resist the phs once her name was called or is really surprised this happened. it's just her luck, you know? her first week here, the last week, and now? funny. it's hilarious. the sword in her hand is a joke and she doesn't even bother to move her hand to gauge it—it's just dead weight on her hand. she has an idea of how this will end and it's all unnecessary.

shima may be smiling, but there's not a single whisper of any kind of smile on her face. "izumo, you look so much cuter when you smile!" right. her body feels drained and she feels sick. though, what's truly disgusting is what's standing before her right now: a reflection that she hates. her voice is flat, cold as she speaks. ]

Is that really what you want your last words to be?

[hhhHHHHHH]

[dianxias]

[ xie lian's standing right next to shiro today!

he can't give a nudge or anything, considering shockies, but there's at least an emotional rush of supportive worry and solidarity. :c]

[recrowns]

[admittedly soo-won can't help but cast a concerned glance in shiro's direction - but there's not much comfort to be brought in this situation]

[discernments]

[ here's another concerned glance for an old man who's about to watch one of his castmates kill the other before jeanne looks back at what she won't look away from ]

[chanteuser]

[ big mood ]

[siblingless]

[someone please save shiro. he gets a concerned look as well, but...]

[heartablaze]

[She's keeping her distance from the barrier this time, fists tightening when she sees Izumo walk forward but not moving otherwise.

This is just cruel.]

[misstrust]

[ Dorothy stands motionless as she watches through narrowed eyes, though she's got both hands balled into tight fists and her breathing is shaky. ]

...

[evocationary]

[ lup is watching, but not closely. she seems more annoyed than anything. she's quiet, for once. ]

[exercisms]

Izumo-san. . .

[He's just going to stand next to the barrier and punch at it yet again. Both fists this time - no pocket surprises, apparently, just wimpy little punches. His heart seems a little less in it this time.]

[arcsplainist]

[ Oh. This place truly is cruel.

Alphinaud is silent; in the crowd he only stands and watches, arms folded across his chest, expression slightly strained. ]

[siblingless]

[One of her hands sinks into her bag as soon as Shima makes his way to the plank. Her other hand makes its way to her chest, balling into a tight fist as she watches Izumo and Shima make their way to the plank. Quietly:]

... There's really nothing we can do to stop this, is there?

[This sure is fucked up. Someone, save Izumo.]

[chanteuser]

[ alex looks distinctly concerned, and then angry when izumo is called up ]

... This is just cruel.

[robopriest]

[He just watches sternly, his expression impassive. Of course, none of this should happening, but...]

[At the same time, Shima is guilty. So its a suitable punishment, isn't it...?]

[He lets out a sigh, but keeps watching.]

[antaressnipe]

[Ah yes, children killing children again.

Chiron doesn't even bother to stand up, just sits quietly by the barrier with a neutral expression that's only slightly pinched around the edges.]

[reconnective]

[despite everything, the expression of sora's face is almost entirely neutral. but he's also doing his best to keep his distance from people while all of this is happening. nobody really needs to know how he's feeling right now, thanks.]

[horologia]

[ she's impassive watching the proceedings up until izumo is called up, a brief expression of surprise flitting across her features for a moment until she's once more quietly solemn.

or maybe not so quietly, in the end, her hands plaiting tightly over the fabric of her skirt. ]

... Is ... it better or not for her that she's the one doing it?

[ they'd known each other, hadn't they? ]

[dawnblushed]

[yona is social distancing as best she can so that people aren't feeling what she's feeling!


but the look on her face makes it pretty obvious that she hates this.]

[supremity]

[ Hua Cheng is here - within sight of Xie Lian, and vice versa - but keeping his distance from Claude and anyone that Claude frequents. Watching, arms crossed and expression impassive.

Anyone that gets close enough will know he's even keel, yes, but not surprised and vaguely displeased. ]

[assistance]

[ alyssa is exhausted, and it's with her arms crossed and lips pressed tightly together that she watches the "show." it doesn't take much longer than shima's greeting for her to grow tired of the realm's cruel theatrics; by the time izumo replies, she's already looking away and muttering, ]

All this just for some nova, huh?

[cuedoves]

[ im at work but zuzu is standing aways off from everyone with that brooding manpain folded arms and tension thing ]
