WEEK THREE: REMOVAL
(32 remain)

Time to wake up, participants of the Realm. At 8am, everyone will receive a message on their PHS.

go to the savanna at 9. yes we checked for scalpels and/or other stabby items.

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, Swan, Goat, and Tiger, are already present, Emet-Selch with them. Goat speaks.

"... It is time. May peace come quickly."

Once they finish speaking, an alert goes off from a PHS in the crowd—specifically, Hansa's. Their PHS displays a simple message.

You have ̶been select͘ed͞.

Regardless of their will, they will feel compelled to walk towards the scene. No other participant will be able to interfere; should they try, a barrier blocks their way.

[oh no.

well, wherever chiron is, yona's just going to head on over there. she reaches for his hand and traces letters into his palm -]

H A N S A

[-- Ah.

He gets up immediately like he doesn't know what to do with himself suddenly]

No.

[she does not know what to do about this but she'll linger nearby in case there's anything else that happens that may need clarification amid all the inevitable screaming.]

[He doesn't move, if nothing else, and it doesn't take long before his expression has set itself back into place.

He'd almost look normal ... if not for the heavy melancholy weighing his shoulders down]

... Please keep me updated, Yona.

[she nods and turns her attention to the execution before tracing letters into his palm again]

Y E S

...

[well he has ears, but, just to double check.]

D I D
Y O U
H E A R ?

... I did, yes.

[Well.

He will just stand there quietly with some of the color draining from his face, expression unmoving]

[right, okay. there'll probably be a lot of shouting later on, but his hearing seems good, so he'll probably be able to hear it.

for now, she just scans the area to see what details she can communicate to him.]

C L I F F
A N I M A L S

... What type of animals?

A N G R Y
D O N K E Y S ?
W I T H
H O R N S

[what the fuck is a wildebeest. she doesn't know.]

[I rolled and he got a 18, I fuckin hate this man, why didn't you all scapegoat me when I LITERALLY ASKED FOR IT--]

... some sort of plain animals, I assume. The method of death would be trampling.

B A D

[yes, trampling is very bad, thank you for that very eloquent contribution, yona]

[yona's not sure if she should do this, but she would want to know if it was her, so.]

Y O U

[Oh.

She's going to feel his hand twitch in hers]

Did he?

[... A quiet laugh with no humor in it, just sad]

Of course he did.

[He doesn't even sound surprised.]

S O R R Y

[it's very obvious that this is not the outcome anyone wanted.]

[uh

hm

uh-oh.]

[ because marie doesn’t have a top level, alex just shows up here and she doesn’t say anything clear or identifying, just makes this aborted attempt at talking before grabbing onto his wrist like it’s a lifeline. ]

[... It isn't until Emet starts speaking and shaming them all for their failures that Chiron's hand moves, twisting slightly to hold her hand, if she'll allow it.

His head is bowed.]

[ she squeezes it, like she’s going to... fall apart, if she doesn’t.

she doesn’t lower her head. she can’t bring herself to. ]

[... Giving it another squeeze, an attempt to be reassuring, even if he just feels his stomach drop with every word he hears.

And he's blind, so.

Of course he doesn't see Emet looking at him]

[ she nudges him, when she sees it — which she does, she’s still looking. she’s always looking. she can’t not watch. ]

He’s looking at you. [ her voice is small and shaky but she feels she needs to say it. ] Emet-Selch.

[Between Alex's commentary and then Yona on the other side--

She'll feel his hand twitch, loosen, and then Chiron just silently lowers himself to the ground, saying nothing.]

[ it takes a moment, because she's so... scared, she feels like she's locked up and frozen. like she wants to scream but the words won't come out so why bother?

but she sinks down next to him and just rests a hand on his back. like it's going to help in any way. ]

[You'd be surprised how much her staying nearby helps

... But I guess the time for emotional sharing and caring is over because Yona just told him Emet isn't dead, and--]

Miss Alex. [Voice STRAINED]

What is happening?

I--- I don't know, he just...

[ she sounds so completely confused. like she doesn't know what's going and can't begin to process it.

... ]

Chiron, he's alive.
