WEEK FIVE: REMOVAL

[retellers]

WEEK FIVE: REMOVAL (25 remain) Time to wake up, participants of the Realm. At 8am, everyone will receive a message on their PHS. Go to where the freaky puppet hell theater used to be across the bridge. 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, Tiger, Goat, and Swan, are already present, Jeanne with them. Goat speaks. "... We are the choices we make. May yours bring you closer to the future you wished to see." Once they finish speaking, an alert goes off from a PHS in the crowd—specifically, Zuko's. No explicit message this time, though! Presumably, everyone gets the idea by now and now no one has to deal with glitched text. 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.

[ . . . his heart aches for them both.

the way that zuko is clearly tortured by this decision, even as he completes what must be done - for the choices that all of them made.

when jeanne speaks her final words, he looks forward, seeks her gaze and - ah, she probably won't be able to hear him, and he doesn't want to make this any harder on the both of them. so he remains silent and resolute.

in the end, he can't do anything but wait.

instead he'll just hold on a little tighter to lup's hand, even as he exhales a slow, heavy sigh.]

[ the fire lights, and she shifts her hand to link their fingers together. she's here. ]

[the fire starts and soo-won's hand continues to rest in lup's until - it seems as though it doesn't hurt. it doesn't harm her. and his eyes go wide.]

Jeanne—

[he gives lup's hand one more squeeze, in gratitude, but -

it feels like just all those weeks ago, when she took on the burden of executioner for all of them, he's running for her the moment he can]
