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.

EXECUTION

[retellers]

[ Once Hansa has been selected, Emet-Selch will move against his will towards the open plains of the savanna, before he stops near the edge of a low cliff, a gorge below. Hansa will be made to move as well, until he stands in front of Emet-Selch.

The fall from here isn't too bad, actually... but a herd of wildebeest can be seen in the distance. ]

Hansa----

[THESE ARE JUST GETTING WORSE EVERY WEEK]

[dawnblushed]

[oh no.

[cuedoves]

[ zuko is doing the arms crossed asshole thing and grimly watching the execution ]

Can't wait to see what horrible thing happens this week.

[ i'm so glad i'm not at work so i can provide this important and gamechanging tag that contributes so much. ]

[evocationary]

What do you mean "you have been selected" - where's the rest?

[ she's immediately going to ram against the barrier. immediately. just banging her fist against it. for the first time during one of these, she looks... scared. ]

[antaressnipe]

[-- Ah.

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

No.

[misstrust]

[ Dorothy can't see?????

So really, she's just trying to listen to as much as she can, because-- ]

Asking someone to provide commentary seems a little much...

[chanteuser]

[ she just makes a truly horrible distressed noise and presses her hands to her mouth. ]

[ i hate this, personally. ]

[reconnective]

[he's right behind her, grabbing onto her free hand to try and keep her still. but he's going to let her hit the barrier anyway.]

Did we...? [he doesn't finish the question, but he looks equally alarmed.]

[heartablaze]

[BIG FUCKING MOOD THIS IS ACTUALLY AWFUL]

[dawnblushed]

[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.]

[antaressnipe]

[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.

[robopriest]

[Hansa's face is...neutral. Blank.]

[His work constantly involves the death of others at his hand. Vampires, heretical beings, demons. What is another? And yet...this isn't a demon or a vampire or someone who really, truly deserves it, not for simply defending himself.]

[Hansa stares out at the wildebeast herd, before he fixes his gaze entirely on Emet-Selch.]

Before we begin...

[And his mouth twitches. He has to pause, gather himself. His voice is quiet. Why...him? Why this? Why...any of this? Why...? Why?]

Is there...anything you want to say, Emet-Selch?

[evocationary]

[ she holds sora's hand very, very tightly. her eyes are on the ... whatever this is, heart in her throat. ]

[uhhhmagic]

[oops]

I tried really hard not to think about animals! But it's a pink elephant situation!

[dawnblushed]

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

Y E S

[supremity]

[ There's not been a moment where Hua Cheng has liked the end results of this week's murder. And, honestly, it's been fairly obvious. His brow is furrowed in displeasure, and he's already at the barrier - it's taken a lot to move him to the edge for past executions.

This is not good. It just. Keeps getting worse, actually! ]

[infreefall]

[ ochako is here, with her seeing-eye raptor at her feet. she's standing back, away from the barrier to let those who can actually see go forth, but... ]

Who...?

[antaressnipe]

Hansa.

[He's already been told, and Chiron's voice is calm by the time he delivers the information.]

[frostythehitman]

[ Vezda does what Vezda does best: stand by at the edge of this madness, arms crossed and looking displeased, but not daring to look away. ]

[exercisms]

It's Cervantes-san. Do you want me to tell you what's happening?

[exercisms]

[He's not going to bang on the barrier this time. Just staring out at this. I'm not sure if he's watched L*on King but. Bad.]

[heartablaze]

Hansa, i-it's Hansa-san...!

[reconnective]

[from wherever he is nearby with lup:]

Hansa and Emet-Selch. There's...this cliff, and they're both at the edge of it with this canyon below and a bunch of animals in the distance.

[perhaps...dorothy can guess how this is going to go.]
