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. ]

[hhhHHHHHH]

[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.

[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]

[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.]

[lionson]

[Thanks XL, sometimes you gotta watch one student kill another and it's not a good time at all.]

[lionson]

[It's lucky there's a barrier in the way, or else he would be jumping in to stop both of those kids right now.]

[dianxias]

...My offer from yesterday still stands, when this is over.

[ said just quietly enough to be heard, though he's watching straight ahead as it happens. no sense in looking away. ]

[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. ]

[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 ]

[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. ]

[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?

[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.]

[siblingless]

[Shooting him a concerned look. Mob... :(]

[exercisms]

[Oh. He looks over at her, questioning.]

Yoshizawa-san?

[chanteuser]

[ big mood ]

[chanteuser]

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

... This is just cruel.

[siblingless]

[Her hand is still in the bag, and she glances down at it before looking at him.]

Yes...?

[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.]

[siblingless]

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