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.

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

...

[ murmured, a little more gently than she might usually: ] Hey. Take a deep breath.

[ The look Dorothy gives her is one of brief surprise, shuddering into realization a split second later-- and obediently, she takes a deeper breath. Holds it. Releases it. For a moment, it looks like she's struggling with what she wants to say, but finally-- ]

Thank you. I'll be fine.

I know. [ she smiles a little. ] You're tough stuff. Helps to have a reminder, though.

[ That tugs a faint smile out of her in return. ]

You're right. I don't think I could have gotten it from a better source.

[ she - winks, maybe inappropriately considering the situation at hand. at least she falls silent after, the little smile sticking for a few moments. ]
