week 4 execution

W4: EXECUTION

In the morning at 12:30pm sharp, you hear the intercom speakers blare loudly across the entire airport, perfectly audible no matter where you are.

All passengers, please report to the Flight Deck effective immediately. All passengers, please report to the Flight Deck effective immediately...

Hopefully that’s not quite as long a trek as Saturday for you. All the same, you are propelled by that same sensation to come to the Flight Deck. Your feet carry you past that glass doors onto the outdoor terrace, where the benches and quaint planters await. Why, it’d look almost serene if not for the fact that one of you appears to be missing. There’s really only one place they could be, isn’t there? Your gaze might eventually settle over the runway you can see out below—the view is great from up here.

While you're not forcibly rooted to your seats, there's no way out. The glass doors close behind the last person and refuse to budge, and the viewing glass is just as unbreakable. As for any open areas, the invisible forcefield is working so very hard on this Sunday.

Oh, and because I’m sure this is the most pressing question on your mind: yes, Allstars Coffee is still serving hot beverages and small baked eats, even during execution. That’s what you need during stressful situations, right? More commemoration ASS caffeine? Yes, we thought so. You’re welcome.

In just a few minutes, the combatants approach, as helpful screens light up to further help you understand today's proceedings.

EXECUTION

[mgtropes]

[honourous]

[ everyone should be used to seeing the first person to walk out onto the tarmac of the runway to be the voted for, right? hulkenberg's combat heels click with a finality as she moves, head held high and spine straight, all the preparation of someone ready to face death with dignity. she does look towards where she knows everyone is forced to witness the proceedings, eyes scanning the crowd that she can make out.

but as she does, the runway changes. her steps grow louder as a floor spreads out beneath her, walls caging in and echoing. a grand castle foyer begins to take shape around her, a hollow, oppressing place - it would be impressive, art in architecture, if not for the strange weight that is palpable. she takes it all in, not necessarily alarmed, but instead... on edge.

and then she turns forward, taking a deep breath to await her opponent with trepidation. ]

[agleam]

[this execution is not het i'm rebelling against the mods

walking past the rest of the waiting crowd and into the castle that's constructed around hulkenberg... is rupert! presumably this would have been obvious at trial yesterday, but it's probably important to note that he now has both arms again. just in time!

he doesn't necessarily look surprised as he finds himself walking into the space, but he doesn't look happy about it, either. a few emotions play out on his face, easy to see. sadness, anger, exhaustion, all at the fact that he's here. he doesn't want this, but he takes a breath as he looks her way - this isn't about him. after a moment of hesitation:]

...I wondered if this might happen, when I asked you what you wanted yesterday. [...] If you haven't changed your mind, you at least don't have to be alone.

[taking a few more steps towards her, remaining unarmed.]

I'm here for you.

OBSERVATION DECK

[mgtropes]

[toxicate]

[ canon fit + a shirt underneath again today...

standing forward for a clear view, expression impassive as ever. but his hands are folded white-knuckled over the pommel of his sword, anticipating the worst. ]

[toxicate]

[ oh. ouch.

his expression flickers, a split-second break in the carefully controlled neutrality, at the echo of his own voice. ]

[ballies]

[ we reuse cute outfits in this house.

but, yes. tama's here because where else is she meant to be? she's got a coffee and is mostly just picking at the plastic lid of it, tense. ]

[ballies]

[ oh well fuck this noise. ]

[ballies]

[ keeps replying to my own top level instead of making dinner but she does go very tense when the darkness starts seeping in from under the doorway. ]

[rosebleed]

[Rosamund is also here. She's dressed well but looks distinctly underslept.

She'll take a painkiller before sipping on a water, touching at her forehead as she hunches in her seat. She stares out at Hulkenberg with a guarded expression.]

[teenrebellion]

[ watches rupert come out and sighs. ]

Not any better now that we're here, is it.

[toxicate]

[ glancing at her with a little concern. girl how hard did you go last night ]

[ballies]

[ you did this yourself, girl. ]

[bxkautx]

[ she's here in comfy clothes again. big teal hoodie and leggings. just hanging out towards the back, but.

... frowns when she sees rupert out there. ]

[teenrebellion]

[ here we fucking are. kazuki is in the back again today, actually watching, shading his eyes with a grimace but training bloodshot eyes steadily on the tarmac as hulkenberg steps out. he looks exhausted and holds onto his coffee like a lifeline, but doesn't look away. ]

[selfimmolation]

[ NO RUPERT DON'T GO INTO THE HETEROSEXUAL LIGHT

he's here and unhappy is ANYONE surprised wow ]

[peripheries]

[SOrry he's not actually straight now. If you want him to be straight that is what curses are for.

Kaworu is just sitting in the corner, wearing an oversized hoodie, hoodie over his head, chewing on his thumbnail that is already down to the quick and bleeding slightly.

He's clutching something dented and cracked in his other hand.

He looks like (still gay) shit tbh.]

[sixam]

[


casually crushes his coffee cup in his hand slightly when he sees who's actually out there, don't mind him. goddamnit. all they can do now is watch. ]

[preordain]

[ ryo is sitting... his face is bruised. he sits up a little straighter when he sees it's rupert out there. ]

[sootprints]

[ kate sits quietly with her hands neatly folded in her lap, as she often does. fit check.

... a little wisp of smoke rises from her head when she sees rupert stepping towards her. ]

[bulls]

[ HEY CAN WE CATCH A BREAK........

but also yeah he is here and suitably tense about it, watching this entire mess (it hasn't even truly begun) terrible mess the weekend is always a mess thanks! ]

[drymonster]

[ here in a soft sweater and black jeans, watching impassively as he sips his coffee. ]

[obdure]

[ I see we must have coffee to this kind of execution. ]

[riderculous]

[ fit! astolfo is standing next to the viewing glass, with their hand pressed against it. ]

Not good...

[foreverphantom]

[ watching this while sipping on some sweet coffee monstrosity. i'm too lazy to look up a fit, he's in black pants and a big-ass cozy hoodie

kind of grimacing at how nice and civil these two are. ]
