WEEK THREE: REMOVAL

[retellers]

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.

[ between this, and emet-selch's so-called congratulations, ochako flinches. ]

But that wasn't... We didn't mean...

[heartablaze]

It doesn't matter what we meant to do or not...

[haha]

Even.... even good intentions can lead to the wrong choice.

[infreefall]

I know, but...

[ and then emet-selch and hansa do that and... ochako gasps, and covers her mouth. ]

No! They can't take both of them, can they?

[heartablaze]

...

[She doesn't look surprised at all. Except Ochako can't see that, but she doesn't SOUND surprised, either.]

I don't think that's it.

Give them a minute.

[infreefall]

[ she's biting her lip, but she nods. one more minute, but please don't make them lose more lives than necessary. ]

[heartablaze]

[She'll find Ochako's hand and slip her own into it.]

It's okay.

[infreefall]

[ ...she'll give hikaru's hand a weak squeeze. ]

[heartablaze]

[...

And she'll know EXACTLY when something happens when Hikaru's grip suddenly tightens harshly, clenching her mouth tight in order not to scream.]

...

He's still there. Hansa-san is.

[It's quiet. Because Emet-Selch sure isn't there, anymore.]

[infreefall]

[ her only reply is just a quiet, shaky sigh. at least there's that... small consolation though it is. ]

[heartablaze]

[UH.


well Mob's already explaining it so she's gonna stay quiet but UHHHHH????]

[heartablaze]

The barrier's down!

Ochako-chan, the barrier's down, they're both alive--!!!

[LETTING GO OF HER HAND BYE SHE'S OFF TO SOMEONE ELSE]

[infreefall]

[ oh, well bye ]
